Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameOrix-pa
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
It is named after the deity Orix-pa, the god of the sea.

Orix-pa's surface appears extremely cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

It may have had nitric oxide oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

The Orix-pa 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.
