Tuntua
Tuntau is an enormous, low-density terrestrial planet, with a thick atmosphere of methane and helium. Despite being nearly 20 AU from Phoenix, the star’s great heat and the insulating thickness of the atmosphere make the surface surprisingly temperate. The crust is composed of sodium and silicon dioxide with deposits of various light metals. While Tantau is not habitable, the relative pleasantness of the surface conditions make it a popular location for small ships traveling through the Argos Rho cluster to land for drive discharge. This has also made it an ideal target for pirates.
