Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameLaocor-teus
Planet typeWarm planet
Laocor-teus's atmosphere is similar to Rika's in its primary composition of carbon monoxide and ammonia, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It is named after the deity Laocor-teus, the spirit of the underworld.

It has the densest atmosphere of the warm planets, consisting partly of carbon monoxide.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of frozen gas.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other warm planets, Laocor-teus lacks a well-defined magnetic field.
