Suggested nameCarke
Planet typeHot planet
Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 50°K (-223°C) at night to 700°K (427°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

This planet is populated by small earth-like plants known as "Hipina Qeq". They spend their life in lakes by finding nourishment in a substance called "Ahetar Porsur" if they can. Most Hipina Qeq are related to the Phaëan An but have 8 eyes and vary in size from 40 to 50 mm. Hipina Qeq are able to withstand temperatures from 120 to 170°C and even the acidic environment.
