Description

Binthu has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, with a permanent haze of toxic chlorine and clouds of sulphur dioxide that periodically drop torrents of acidic rain on the surface. Its crust is mainly composed of sulphur with deposits of calcium.

Like most worlds in the Voyager Cluster, Binthu has only been charted within the last 20 years by Alliance surveyors. It has no known native ecology. Data about the world is surprisingly brief and generic, painting a picture of an unpleasant and uninteresting place.

Properties

Binthu has a small spherical moon with a striking grey color. It is either a silicate body (like Luna, and Eletania's moon), in which case it was captured (no mean feat for a planet this small); or, if an impact-created moon, then its crust is loaded with calcium compounds.

Trivia

• Binthu's moon appears to be an image of Saturn's moon Mimas, which in turn - with its distinctive crater - resembles the Death Star from Star Wars.
