Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameUsojy
Planet typeCold planet
The planet is named after the deity Usojy, the demon of chaos.

As seen from Kepler-424, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

As the closest planet to Ydut, Usojy has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 35 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the present habitability potential of Usojy, as well as the possibility of extant life. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 8 meters.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Ydut, Nilo-c, and Kepler-424.
