Suggested nameSaxa-mab
Planet typeCold planet
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

The planet is named after the deity Saxa-mab, the demon of war.

Two spacecraft have visited Saxa-mab: Frontier 7 flew by 17 years ago; and Messenger, launched 10 years ago, orbited Saxa-mab over 175 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 9 years later.

Saxa-mab is the site of Robusto Gravis, the tallest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.
