Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameTheepapsa Ke
Planet typeHot gas giant
The planet is named after the deity Theepapsa Ke, the goddess of nature.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Theepapsa Ke due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 4 percent of Selyke Thi's, except at the lowest elevations for short periods. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 18 meters. The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.

Surrounding Theepapsa Ke is a irregular planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.

Theepapsa Ke has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Frontier flyby missions and later by the Isaac orbiter.
