Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameNapan Briel
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Napan Briel, the creator of war.

Napan Briel's surface appears heavily scarred and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

It may have had hydrogen chloride oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

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

The Napan Briel 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.
