Info for exoplanet "Orpaaa"

Fictional info (?)
Suggested name		Orpaaa
Planet type		Cold planet
It is named after the deity Orpaaa, the spirit of destruction. At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Ellade-ga. Two spacecraft have visited Orpaaa: Frontier 3 flew by 27 years ago; and Messenger, launched 20 years ago, orbited Orpaaa over 65 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 8 years later. Orpaaa has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Hotchins orbiter. The surface of this dark planet is crowded with strange but terraformed bacteria called the "Raxnixae". They spend their life by finding nourishment in plants at night. They are believed to be related to the Makalyke but with 5 eyes and vary in size from 60 to 100 cm. Most Raxnixae can withstand temperatures from 60 to 110°C but are killed by severe infection which is common on this planet.
