Suggested nameQeqbest
Planet typeHot gas giant
When viewed from Regami Ait, Qeqbest 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. Qeqbest's atmosphere is similar to Regami Ait's in its primary composition of carbonyl sulfide and nitrogen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 88°K (-185°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with nitrogen thought to make up the lowest clouds, and carbonyl sulfide the uppermost layer of clouds. It is named after the deity Qeqbest, the spirit of the sky.

A prominent result is the "great green spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope. Surrounding Qeqbest is a thin planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
