Deep in the Northern parts of Odin's hold lies Dryi Chrea MS-T e3-219 17, a High Metal Content world that's the current record holder (as of 3310. December) for the biggest ringed landable body, as well as the third biggest landable body with a thin atmosphere.

The planet holds on to a thin helium-rich atmosphere, with hydrogen and traces of neon. It's far away from the system's star, at 518,067 light-seconds from the arrival point, and as such, it's extremely cold, with an average surface temperature of only 34 K. Although one might think that such a planet out on the fringes of its system must be a captured one, its orbital characteristics don't suggest that: both its orbital inclination (-4.31 degrees) and eccentricity (0.02) are low.

Explorers who make the long trip here should take care on approach and landing, as the surface gravity is 1.86 g. Flying above the rugged terrain of such a high-gravity world, Commanders can find active volcanism, in the form of silicate vapour geysers. The most impressive sights are in the sky though: the planet's rings are easily visible from the surface.

The rings are an even more impressive sight from space. The inner ring is metal-rich, while the wider outer ring is rocky. Both are dense enough and lit well enough that they can be seen with the naked eye. The ring system extends out to 73,813 km.

This planet was first discovered by CMDR Matt G, and the POI is named as a memorial to CMDR Gadnok's lost feline Coco. Both he and the entry's submitter are members of the same squadron, Sidewinder Syndicate.

With a robust mass of 8.24 Earth masses and a striking radius of 13,425 km, Dryi Chrea MS-T e3-219 17 exudes the grandeur of a pristine, untamed frontier. The planet's frigid surface, a chilling 34 K, is cloaked in a thin atmosphere of helium enriched with traces of hydrogen and neon. Despite its allure, its harsh environmental conditions - marked by a surface gravity of 1.86 g and a sparse atmospheric pressure of 0.06263452 atmospheres—render it unsuitable for terraforming, relegating it to the realm of raw, untamed beauty.

The planet's solid composition reveals a vibrant mix of 60.89% rock, 29.98% metal, and a hint of 0.14% ice, accentuated by major silicate vapor geysers that erupt across its landscape. Its skies shimmer under the glow of rings, two distinct belts that encircle this world. The metal-rich inner ring, with a mass of 11,259 million metric tons, lies snugly between 22,151 km and 31,087 km. Beyond it stretches the rocky outer ring, amassing 113,970 million metric tons, extending from 31,187 km to 73,813 km.

A rich trove of materials dots its surface, offering a playground for prospectors and scientists alike. Explorers can mine for iron (24.5%), nickel (18.5%), and sulfur (17.4%), with rarer elements like selenium (2.7%), niobium (1.7%), and even polonium (0.7%) waiting to be unearthed. Each element whispers tales of the planet's geological history, etched into its rugged terrain.

Dryi Chrea MS-T e3-219 17 dances through its vast orbital path, completing a circuit around its star every 5,443,788.9 days- a journey that spans 1,021.12 AU with a modest orbital eccentricity of 0.0194. Its axial tilt, a mere 0.0056°, betrays little in the way of seasonal variation, while its rapid 1.7-day rotation keeps its surface in a constant interplay of light and shadow.

Though its atmosphere remains thin, its geysers active, and its gravity intense, Dryi Chrea MS-T e3-219 17 stands as a testament to the rugged majesty of unyielding worlds. A pristine reserve, it beckons intrepid explorers to chart its mysteries, mine its riches, and revel in the stark beauty of an untamed cosmos.
