Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameThegel Per
Planet typeCold planet
Thegel Per is the only habitable planet orbiting K2-221 and one of the largest in its solar system. For this reason, scientists often classify Thegel Per and Thelde Lene as "cold planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. It is named after the deity Thegel Per, the spirit of prosperity.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to K2-221, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 151 days.

The polar regions are constantly below 108°K (-165°C).

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Thegel Per due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 8 percent of Thelde Lene's, except at the lowest elevations for short periods.

The unfriendly lakes are known for its small yet advanced bacteria known to survive while consuming a substance called "Lepa Loge" at night. They are believed to be somewhat related to Idone Theus but with 6 arms and vary in size from 25 to 37 cm. Mipmungala are known to thrive at temperatures from -60 to -10°C and severe infection which is rare on this planet.
