[edit] Description
WARNING: Level 1 Pressure Hazard
Sharjila has a very dense atmosphere of ammonia and oxygen. Its temperate surface is mainly composed of alumina with deposits of sulfur. Comm buoys in the system have recently logged a number of unregistered vessels operating nearby.
Sharjila has an extensive silicon-based, oxygen-breathing ecology. Heavily populated areas are covered with fine silica (silicon dioxide) dust, the respiratory by-product of the world's higher animal forms. High-speed surface winds, often laden with abrasive silica dust, present a hazard. In areas where the wind deposits a great deal of silica, footing can be treacherous. EVAs are discouraged.

[edit] Properties
Sharjila does have a thick atmosphere but not enough in the way of greenhouse gasses. This distance and temperature, alongside Macedon's M3 main sequence luminosity of 0.01 suns, imply an albedo of "-57.5". These properties have to be mistaken.
