Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameDorarefran
Planet typeHot planet
This planet is named after the deity Dorarefran, the demon of destruction.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to GJ 179, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 116 days.

As seen from GJ 179, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Dorarefran's surface is a barren desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

As one of the most noticeable objects in the sky, Dorarefran has been a major fixture in native culture for as long as records have existed.

In late February 2300, Dorarefran was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Dorarefran's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Marto Jamede.
