Kohl is a carbon earth planet, and the final planet in the Amber Light system. Its surface consists heavily of carbon-rich minerals, including, potentially, diamonds. Due to its low temperature, the oceans visible on it consist primarily of hydrocarbons. Interestingly enough, its temperature is almost perfect for Avali habitability, but the lack of a breathable atmosphere and high gravity make it an unlikely destination for permanent colonies. However, it does offer relatively easy access to various resources that can be collected on its surface.

Made this one on a whim, technically. But I found out about carbon planets and was like "yes, I need one of those!". I especially enjoy seeing that big crater-turned-ocean visible in the image above. I did originally intend for Amber Light to have some dwarf planets as well, but never got around to it. Maybe one day, Kohl won’t be the final celestial body of this system. Its name comes from the german word for coal.
