Sermi

Sermi is the first planet of the Senerea System. It is a a sub-neptunian planet infamous for it's extreme temperatures and unnatural, rare composition.
==Characteristics==
Sermi is a class VI jovia. Because of this, scientists believe that Sermi was even closer to Simpo than it is today, to allow the hydrogen to be blasted away. Sermi is approximately eleven times the mass of Earth, and is close to the smallest possible gas giant size.
Some believe that under the thick helium layer, there is a possibly reachable surface, but that is not confirmed.
==Orbit and Rotation==
Sermi orbits around it's parent star in around 22 earth days. It's tidally locked so it's rotation period is the same.
==Formation==
Sermi's history is not well known, as its atmospheric composition is not easily explainable by standard planet formation theories.
===Theories===
====Former white dwarf====
Status - Debunked
The theory is a rather old one, it was created approx. a hundred years ago, despite this and it's debunked status some fringe scientists believe it. The theory was debunked 61 years ago after N-Body simulations proved that a white dwarf would significantly change the landscape of the system, these changes would be easily noticeable, along with that Senerea doesn't appear to have consumed any extra significant mass after it's creation. One of the creators of the theory was allegedly sent to a mental asylum, however this is a urban legend that's likely to be false.
====Blasted off Hydrogen====
Status - Confirmed
This theory states that once Sermi was much closer than it is today and during that period, the majority of it's hydrogen was blasted off. This theory is very likely to be true, as we can see a few examples of planets in a transition state between a gas giant and a helium planet.
However, it is unknown how Sermi arrested its motion towards Simpo and moved to its current location, although Kolim's migration might have something to do with it.
==Moons==
Sermi has no moons, due to it's small sphere of influence.
