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

For this reason, scientists often classify Kopro'forn and Polyhe De as "hot gas giants" to distinguish them from the other planets. The planet is named after the deity Kopro'forn, the creator of nature.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Kopro'forn's hostile surface conditions.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
