Craig is a comet orbiting Solakku with an incredibly high eccentricity. Its apoapsis lies past Musoya’s orbit, but it actually crosses Valaya’s orbit when approaching periapsis, making it observable in Avalon’s night sky for a few days every 214 years.

Craig exists because Techo dared me to name a celestial body in my mod "Craig", because it would be funny. I decided to continue the joke with the in-game descriptions and science reports. The EVA report when approaching it reads: "You recall how this asteroid was named after someone who changed his name to "Craig the Great" after becoming employee of the month at some observatory."
