Fictional info (?)
Suggested namePhaë Dralind
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
Phaë Dralind has been known to astronomers since the medieval. For this reason, scientists often classify Phaë Dralind and Thada Chegaret as "huge cold gas giants" to distinguish them from the other planets. The planet is named after the deity Phaë Dralind, the messenger of love and beauty.

Phaë Dralind was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.

Wind speeds can reach 99 metres per second.
