| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | In this system, there is a Helium-rich gas giant whose second moon (Body A 8 b) features a steep mountain 8.95 km high near the equator (surface coordinates: -59.31 / 138.72). With its unforgiving smooth cliffs, steep inclination and massive size, it gives the impression of a mountain that is not meant to be conquered (though this is quite doable in a Scorpion). The peak is surprisingly rough, featuring several grooves. It is high enough that one can see the curvature of the planet as well as the surrounding mountains, equally impressive and towering over the extended flatlands around them, where Aloida and Stratum lifeforms dwell.
