| → | ||
Discovered during a survey of previously unvisited KOI catalogue systems, Via Gravitatis (KOI 1701 1) with its 45.3 g surface gravity is the record highest gravity for a landable planet, as of 3311. March 13. The second-closest one is at 15 g, making this planet truly one of a kind. Landing on this planet might sound nearly impossible, but as multiple Commanders have demonstrated, it can be done. Pilots who dare to attempt it should exercise extreme caution, as even a slight mistake will be fatal. Disembarking from the ship under such high gravity is of course impossible: it is a testament to RemLok's engineering that the pilot's flight suit can even keep them alive under these conditions. One can at least admire the surrounding terrain, which also features surface volcanism, via the ship's external cameras.
