Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameRepys Oge
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
When viewed from Ysox, Repys Oge can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. The planet is named after the deity Repys Oge, the goddess of the underworld.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 6 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1035 m under the oceans of Earth. Repys Oge is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

Repys Oge is primarily composed of CO, with a significant part of its mass being H2O, though H2O comprises only about a tiny fraction of the number of molecules. A prominent result is the "great black spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar.

Repys Oge has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Wayfinder flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter.
