Musoya is the final planet in the Solakku system, orbiting too far away to receive much light at all, it has cooled down close to absolute zero. Still, it is holding on to a thin atmosphere composed of pure Nitrogen, as it is the only element capable of staying in gaseous form at this low a temperature. Its surface is very rough, with most of the terrain being very uneven, with the exception of the light-blue colored maria, indicating the presence of some exotic minerals in lower layers of the planet’s geology.

I don’t know why exactly, but just looking at this planet makes me feel like I’m cold. Its definitely very eerie looking too, almost like a ghost. Its definitely a fitting appearance for this planet, so far away from everything else.
Musoya is also the second planet I carried over from that previous planet mod, though it used to look a lot more boring, with barely any maria or craters.
