Xinrotstorly is a super-earth orbiting Karat in its ammonia-habitable-zone. Its surface is covered in vast oceans of liquid ammonia as a result, and its atmospheric pressure is close to that of Avalon. However, its gravity is absolutely crushing, making colonization difficult. Avali cannot survive on its surface without special training and medical enhancements.
Xinrotstorly is a young planet, having formed out of most if not all the rubble left behind by Karat’s death destroying some of the system’s first generation planets. It is what is known as a second generation planet as a result, and has many attributes of a young planet.
Despite the fact that it is tidally locked, its climate is mostly balanced due to its thick atmosphere and large oceans, though some of it is also attributed to its young core still radiating a lot of heat, and causing frequent volcanism.
Only one moon, Holifeier, can be found here. Due to its low orbit, Xinrotstorly’s gravitational influence does not extend far, and anything orbiting it would easily escape into interplanetary space.

I love Xinrotstorly! One of my creations I am the most proud of. Everything about its surface and presentation is perfect, and I would not change even a single thing about it. I did intend it as a location for large, independent Avali colonies in worldbuilding. Surviving the high gravity would become easier and easier for Avali as their technology improves.
And yes, I chose this name for it just to mess with people.
