-A [[wp>Mercury_(planet)|Mercury]]-sized planet, the surface of Shugosha IX is covered entirely in [[wp>Methane Clathrate]] snowpack several kilometers thick, above a frozen ocean of methane dotted by the occasional freshwater iceberg.   Here and there, "islands" were pushed up from the rocky silicate core of the planet from impacts that penetrated the ocean, giving most of them a partial ring-shaped ridge.  The planet's two frozen, rocky, irregularly-shaped moons appear to be remnants of one of those ancient impacts.  Shugosha IX has a thin, unbreathable atmosphere of carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.+A [[wp>Mars]]-sized planet, Shugosha VIII's frozen landscape is dominated by dramatic mountain ranges of iron and silicate thrusting to dizzying pinnacles from a surface completely covered by an ocean of saline ice.  Shugosha VIII has a sparse but nontoxic nitrogen-oxygen-carbon dioxide atmosphere.  It is breathable without assistance (although very cold and dry), but is too thin for unassisted heavy activity, similar to very high altitudes on a habitable planet.

-For the most part, Shugosha IX is a barren little iceball.   The only real opportunities for here are in methane extraction.  There are plenty of other places to get water.+Although there are plenty of ferrous and silicate minerals, as well as frozen saltwater on Shugosha VIII, the low temperatures and remote orbit of the planet meant that it had never been developed for resource extraction.   Here and there, wrecks from the [[timeline:events:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] dot the landscape, but not in great numbers.
