Suggested nameTungr
Planet typeTerrestrial
Tungr has been known to astronomers since the medieval. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 63°K (-210°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and carbon dioxide the uppermost layer of clouds. The planet is named after the deity Tungr, the bringer of the sky.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly four times for every four revolutions it makes around Kepler-139.

The oxygen has probably photodissociated, and the free carbon dioxide has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field. Tungr's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

The unpleasant lakes are mostly said to have friendly poisonous bacteria known as "Lache Sigir". They survive alone by killing the Clisutlyke plant that lives there. Most Lache Sigir are related to the Portri'rok, have scales and vary in size from 70 to 100 cm. The Lache Sigir can endure temperatures from 90 to 190°C and to some degree near-vacuum.
