Gassious

Basic Information
Gassious is one of the few gas giant planets in S/F. Located in galactic battlefront, the planet is one of few gas giants you can actually land on.

Important Facts
The planet features 8 planetary railguns, but that is all the weapons. The planet is not the easiest to take, but comparing to many planets, its OK. However, note there is a core in the planet. The planet's core is dangerous to very weak ships, such as fighter Mk1s, but otherwise the planet is mostly harmless to Vortexians.

Details
Gassious is not very large, being about the size of Neptune, but with 25 times the mass of the Earth, giving it a rather decent gravitational pull. There are no bases, weapons or anything around or on the planet. The planet is one of the easiest planets to take, as it only has bacteria as creatures that stay there. Yes, flying bacteria and bacteria on the solid clouds.

The planet has a strong magnetic field, and no moons. It was once thought that the planet was like planet Lee, a giant ball of gas, and people thought that Gassious ate a moon that became it's core, but turns out it's core is made of the same stuff as the rest of the planet, just put under insane pressure and temperatures.

A day on the planet lasts 1.3 Earth days.

Formation
Gassious formed just like any gas giant. During it's formation, a HUGE planet made of mostly rock crashed into the infant Gassious. The resources on Gassious - hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and sulfur - started combining with the resources on the other planet - nitrogen, silicon, cobalt, oxygen, sulfur, carbon and a lot of iron oxide - to form strange solid clouds made of mixed elements. Sadly, this same collision destroyed all of the planet's moons. However, like mining planet, the planet was ejected from it's home system. The planet is nearly a trillion years old, making it one of the oldest colonizable planets in the multiverse.

Modern Times
The planet was first discovered by Lourons on a trip to Vortex.

Sense then, the planet is still used and can be visited, its just not the most fancy planet to visit.
