Asterope II

Arid

No survey data available. This world remains unexplored.

The Asterope system finally delivered something worth the detour—Asterope II is a rust-colored desert world that reminds me of Kepler-442b, except without the depressing prospect of terraforming committees. Vast canyons carved by ancient water flows dominate the equatorial regions, and the stratified rock faces suggest a planet that once had ambitions toward habitability before deciding against it. The silence of it is almost restful after six weeks navigating the bureaucratic labyrinth of Proxima Station.
