Gas supergiant
From Peace Station Encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchSize: 140000 km - 10000000 km
Atmosphere composition: Hydrogen
Usually found in a star's outer or cold zone, although a class of supergiants is known to circle their parent stars in very close orbits. They
have high core temperatures causing them to radiate
heat. Low stellar radiation and high planet gravity
enables them to keep a tenuous surface comprised of
gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds. The
atmosphere is highly turbulent with wind speeds in
excess of 10000 kilometers per hour. Great for
wilderness refueling if you use hydrogen to get
around.
