Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameBakyu
Planet typeHot gas giant
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Yopuyo, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

The interior of Bakyu is mainly composed of ices and magma. The planet is named after the deity Bakyu, the creator of chaos.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Yopuyo.

Bakyu is the site of Robusto Peak, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.

Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
