“Refered to mysteriously as ‘the cutest little comet’ by the Avalon astronomical society, Talos is one of a few comets in this system. Its orbit takes just over a hundred years to complete.”

Talos is a comet orbiting Solakku in a highly inclined orbit, at an almost 90 degree angle to the orbital plane of the planets. Its surface features are extreme, with some of its peaks almost appearing like spikes. It spends most of its time far away from Solakku, and barely approaches closer than Edith’s orbit on peripasis.

` Talos is the first celestial body in my mod I named after a real person I know. Its also a incredibly subtle SOMA reference. `
