Description[]
Chohe is a terrestrial planet whose surface is mainly composed of aluminum, with numerous deposits of calcium. Though it has enough mass to retain a dense atmosphere, Chohe is nearly a vacuum. This lack of atmosphere allows a moderate average temperature, but the differences between night and day are extreme.
The surface of Chohe's sunward-facing side is usually covered by a haze of volatiles (mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide), which return to the ground as frost over the course of the long, cold night.
The Sirta Foundation has established a research outpost on Chohe to investigate the native subterranean life of Chohe, which shows incredible resilience to extremes of heat and cold.

Properties[]
Its surface albedo as calculated from parameters is −1.48. Some of that can be adjusted upward given that the sun is, from this distance, a disc rather than a point (if not by much).
But no planet here can be older than its star, which as a main-sequence F0 is no older than 2.82 billion years. Chohe is a large planet and is still emitting heat from its formation and differentiation; in addition its core must be at least as radioactive as Faringor's. The plutonium here probably does not date to the planet's formation, but could be the result of a natural reaction as in Oklo in Gabon.
Visible from planetside is a small, spherical, and airless satellite; redly coated with iron rust dust like Mars or else methane ice like Sedna. It is a captured body. The artwork is identical to that used for Klendagon above Presrop, and is likely footage of Mars; it cannot be taken as a map of the moon.
Trivia[]
- Chohe and Amaranthine have exactly the same in-game geography.
- Chohe's moon is a recycled image of a real-world picture of Mars. The same asset is used on the skyboxes of Altahe, Presrop, and Trebin.
