| Suggested name | Kyuhyu |
| Planet type | Hot planet |
| Its orbital period around 61 Vir of 4.2 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.
The planet is named after the deity Kyuhyu, the goddess of chaos.
Kyuhyu is the site of Celestium Mountain, the tallest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.
Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Kyuhyu 2800 and ExoKyuhyu rovers. The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.
Surrounding Kyuhyu is a vast planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
Wind speeds can reach 131 metres per second.
This harsh planet is full of odd terraformed bacteria called the "Enyu Cha". They survive hidden in craters while seeking the somewhat smaller "Hakihi Nu". Most Enyu Cha are not related to the Shogya Tsu but have 3 arms and vary in size from 4 to 9 cm. The Enyu Cha can survive temperatures from -70 to -10°C and severe infection which is rare on this planet. |
