Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameCuve
Planet typeWarm planet
Cuve's atmosphere is similar to Useruve's in its primary composition of water vapor and hydrogen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. This planet is named after the deity Cuve, the spirit of war.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Useruve.

The latest probe to visit the planet is Pioneer, which entered into orbit around Cuve after a problematic trip.

In 2582, images from Daedalus 5 showed Cuve as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other warm planets.
