Suggested nameCheepi
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
Its orbital period around gamma 1 Leo of 430 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.

When viewed from Raqhime-nomia, Cheepi can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. Cheepi's atmosphere is similar to Raqhime-nomia's in its primary composition of carbon dioxide and oxygen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It is named after the deity Cheepi, the goddess of the sky.

It is radically different from Raqhime-nomia in other respects.

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

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Cheepi's hostile surface conditions.

Cheepi can easily be seen from Raqhime-nomia with the naked eye, as can its brownish coloring. Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Raqhime-nomia, Nycli Rinoe, and gamma 1 Leo.

Cheepi is primarily composed of carbon dioxide with a significant part of its mass being oxygen, though oxygen comprises only about a small fraction of the number of molecules.
