Calpamos is a ringed gas giant which is the fifth planet from the star Zeta 2 Reticuli.
Overview[]
Calpamos possesses rings, much like the planet Saturn; these rings are thought to be the remains of a disintegrated moon that was broken apart by the gravitational shift induced when Acheron (LV-426) was captured by Calpamos' orbit, some 40 million years ago. The planet's coloration has a somewhat mixed, in some parts is light brown and in others a darker brown. Its most notable feature is its three small moons, including Acheron, where a derelict Engineer ship was located, and LV-223, which was the site of a major Engineer facility.
Climate[]
Not much is known about the materials or gases that make up the atmosphere of the planet (but is believed to have the same types of materials that the planet Jupiter has).
Notable characteristics[]
Calpamos has rings like the planet Saturn but smaller (possibly from a small moon that may have been destroyed by a collision with an asteroid or simply are the remains of the original formation of the planet). Its coloration has a somewhat mixed appearance, in some parts is light brown and in others a darker brown. It`s most notable feature is its three small moons, which includes Acheron, where the Derelict crash landed.
