Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameGirmenand'phaë
Planet typeHot gas giant
It is a hot gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of WASP-98, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. The planet is named after the deity Girmenand'phaë, the goddess of the underworld.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of dust.

Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. In 1688, images from Frontier 7 showed Girmenand'phaë as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other hot gas giants.
