Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameZehyu-kapyu
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
This planet is named after the deity Zehyu-kapyu, the spirit of war.

Zehyu-kapyu is a large cold gas giant and is sometimes called Pomyosho Pi's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to GD 140, and bulk composition.

In November 1200, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Zehyu-kapyu.

Zehyu-kapyu has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Wayfinder flyby missions and later by the Isaac orbiter.

The Zehyu-kapyu 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. Wind speeds can reach 158 metres per second.
