Fictional info (?) Suggested name Ripaait Xi Planet type Large cold gas giant Orbiting within Lehar's orbit, Ripaait Xi is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from LKCA 15; its maximum angular distance from LKCA 15 (elongation) is 29 degrees. This large cold gas giant is named after the deity Ripaait Xi, the bringer of prosperity. Two spacecraft have visited Ripaait Xi: Frontier 5 flew by 48 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Ripaait Xi over 125 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 10 years later. Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Lehar, Dralia Ly, and LKCA 15. In late February 3000, Ripaait Xi was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Ripaait Xi's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Lehar. In 1688, images from Daedalus 3 showed Ripaait Xi as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other large cold gas giants.
