Suggested nameHochomi'nenyo
Planet typeCold planet
In English, Hochomi'nenyo is often referred to as the "white planet" because the carbon dioxide prevalent on its surface gives it a pale white appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

This planet is named after the deity Hochomi'nenyo, the messenger of the sea.

As seen from Kepler-590, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 110°K (-163°C) at night to 665°K (392°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

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

Surrounding Hochomi'nenyo is a thin planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.

The surface is inhabitated by barbaric earth-like humanoids, the "Tapakyo-se", which survive in lakes by finding nourishment in smaller pray. They are not related to Jokyo but with 3 legs and vary in size from 70 to 80 cm. Most Tapakyo-se are known to endure temperatures from -90 to -40°C and near-vacuum which is common on this planet.
