Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameLauq
Planet typeCold planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Paremede, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

This cold planet is named after the deity Lauq, the goddess of war.

It has the densest atmosphere of all the cold planets, consisting mostly of helium. It may have had ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

As one of the most prominent objects in the sky, Lauq has been a major fixture in native culture for as long as records have existed.

Wind speeds can reach 63 metres per second.
