Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameKyamyo
Planet typeCold planet
It is a cold planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of 70 Vir, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 75°K (-198°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with methane thought to make up the lowest clouds, and water the uppermost layer of clouds. This cold planet is named after the deity Kyamyo, the spirit of fear.

As the closest planet to Jiwomoko-gaba, Kyamyo has been a prime target for early interplanetary 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 9 meters.

The harsh surface is mostly dangerous because of the harmless ultra advanced herbivores that survive hidden in craters by eating another species called Aryobonyu Bi if they need to. They are believed to be closely related to the Pegya-taemo and have scales and vary in length from 60 to 130 mm. They are able to reproduce at temperatures from -50 to -30°C and even the high radiation level which is common near the poles.
