A large gas giant with an atmosphere comprised mostly of Helium and Hydrogen and faint traces of other noble gases, along with a recently discovered one dubbed 'Phlebotinum' by Liberty Navy scientists. It is believed that the latter is responsible for the planet's distinctive orange tint, however exact information is classified. Commercial exploitation is unlikely due to the strong gravity well of the planet - only small specially reinforced ships with customized engines can safely decend into the upper atmosphere.
