Suggested nameLassa
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
This planet is named after the deity Lassa, the goddess of the sky.

Two spacecraft have visited Lassa: Frontier 5 flew by 15 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Lassa over 80 times in four years before exhausting its pwoer source and crashing into the planet's surface 12 years later.

In late February 2400, Lassa was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Lassa's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Lypbest Ymir.

The Lassa system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
