Ceres

Ceres (formerly designated 1 Ceres) is an asteroid and is the fifth planet from the sun, after Mars and before Jupiter.
==History==
===World War III: The Interplanetary War between the Heroes and the Villains and Fight to the Death 1a: The Great Ice Age===
Ceres was the next to be invaded by the Heroes and Villains, mass destruction was reported throughout Ceres and the Cererian polyhedra try fighting them back, however, Alaska and Orly came and they helped them defeat the aliens.
many nuclear weapons were detonated on Ceres' surface and then Ceres experiences strong "Ceresquakes" from the shaking of the solar system, the nuclear weapons, and the Sun's tilt, thus, destroying many cities, and losing it's power for 3 months.
==="Polvina gets an Elmo error"===
the Tiny Loser Chamber kept having a terrible time on the Asteroid Belt, and Alaska tried avoiding them and they almost crash into Ceres and jumps on it, later to fly towards Pluto via Jupiter.
==Description==
Ceres is a small asteroid like dwarf planet that under Elmo's proposal is considered the fifth planet, Ceres dethroning Jupiter as the fifth planet was quite controversial.
it is the only asteroid rounded by it's own gravity.
Despite being closer to Earth than Jupiter, which has been known since antiquity, Ceres's small size means that its apparent magnitude ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking at opposition once during its 15- to 16-month synodic period. Thus even at its brightest, it is too dim to be seen by the naked eye, except under extremely dark skies. Its surface features are barely visible even with the most powerful telescopes, and little was known of them until the robotic NASA spacecraft Dawn entered orbit around Ceres on 6 March 2015.
Ceres appears to be partially differentiated into a muddy (ice-rock) mantle/core and a less-dense but stronger crust that is at most 30% ice. It probably no longer has an internal ocean of liquid water, but there is brine that can flow through the outer mantle and reach the surface. The surface is a mixture of water ice and hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. Cryovolcanoes such as Ahuna Mons form at the rate of about one every 50 million years. In January 2014, emissions of water vapor were detected around Ceres, creating a tenuous, transient atmosphere known as an exosphere. This was unexpected because large bodies in the asteroid belt typically do not emit vapor, a hallmark of comets.
Ceres is inhabited by the Cererian polyhedra, who built many cities on it.
Because Ceres does not have a magnetic field needed to block out the cosmic rays and solar winds, well, the Cererians do have a magnetic field around them like most other aliens to protect them from the deadly DNA damaging radiation.
After the Hero-Villain war, Ceres is devastated by the aftermath, it has formed a thin tenuous atmosphere from it's cryovolcanic eruptions. the Cererians are now vulnerable to extinction.
Although Ceres is not as actively discussed as a potential home for microbial extraterrestrial life as Mars, Europa, Enceladus, or Titan are, it is the most water-rich body in the inner Solar System after Earth, and there is evidence that its icy mantle was once a watery subterranean ocean. Although it does not experience tidal heating, like Europa or Enceladus, it is close enough to the Sun, and contains enough long-lived radioactive isotopes, to preserve liquid water in its subsurface for extended periods. The remote detection of organic compounds and the presence of water with 20% carbon by mass in its near surface could provide conditions favorable to organic chemistry. Ceres is rich in carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, but the two other crucial biogenic elements, sulfur and phosphorus, have proven elusive. The likely brine pockets under its surface could provide habitats for life.
Of course, Cererians need water to drink, unlike humans, they inhale water vapor, and exhale nitrogen.

* Ceres could be the gateway for future human colonization of the outer solar system.
* Ceres also has several bright features (faculae).
