Suggested nameBerdita
Planet typeHot gas giant
Berdita is the strangest and most crater filled planet in its solar system. Orbiting within Stedeuces's orbit, Berdita is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from NGTS-1; its maximum angular distance from NGTS-1 (elongation) is 41 degrees.

It is named after the deity Berdita, the creator of fear.

As the closest planet to Stedeuces, Berdita has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 19 meters.

The Berdita system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
