Kaitaxa

Kaitaxa is a violently volcanic world in the Vikesu system. It lies near the TerMon Trade Route, a little less than 2000 light-years "south-southwest" of Aulunika.
==Features==
===Surface===
Kaitaxa is a medium-sized planet in a close binary orbit with the similarly-sized Makivaxa. They, as a collective, form a wide binary orbit with the small gas giant Labujaxa, forming a trinary system. Due to the constant tidal stress, there is persistent tectonic activity and countless volcanic eruptions. An abbreviated ocean of lava covers over 80% of the planet's surface.
=== Atmosphere===
The sky is blacked-out most of the time by ash and noxious gases, contributing to its already toxic atmosphere of acetylene (C2H2), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Despite this, the planet is home to a few research and mining colonies; the latter is due to its high content of valuable minerals. A notable peculiarity is that a number of "seas" of mostly breathable air exist in some of the craters, valleys, and other low areas. This is due to "hot spots" of anomalous geologic composition that spew water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen.
