| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | HIP 50698 A 1, nicknamed Hephaestus' First Cauldron, contains a Hot Thin Silicate Vapour atmosphere which is considered the rarest atmosphere type in the galaxy. Coupled with a 23.9 Ls distance from the system's main Class A star, this metal rich world is currently the hottest landable thin atmosphere planet in the known galaxy (August 3308)
Surface temperatures reach anywhere between 1,284K-1,800K on the night side of the planet, while you must survive scorching temperatures of 2,300K-2,510K in the sunlight.
The Cauldron is unforgiving and has claimed the lives of many commanders who've long since evaporated to dust in the sweltering heat. You can expect to feel your life force fading away with each passing moment on the surface.
HIP 50698 system sits on the edge of the human bubble, making it a nearby destination for explorers and home to various distress beacons and impact sites.
