Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameDawadu
Planet typeCold gas giant
It is named after the deity Dawadu, the creator of the sea.

Dawadu is gravitationally locked with Kepler-55 in a 2:1 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

Dawadu can easily be seen from Mixen with the naked eye, as can its grayish coloring.
