Paanduyu

== Description ==
As a neighboring planet to Chalos orbiting inferior to it in the Keldan system, Paanduyu appears as a morning star in the Chalosian sky. Aside from that, Paanduyu is about the size of Earth, though is about 79% more massive than Earth, which makes it a super-Earth. It is tidally locked to Keldan due to it's proximity to Keldan but its thick atmosphere seems to mitigate the effects that this tidal locking causes by distributing heat from Keldan throughout the surface of the planet. As a result of this thick atmosphere, Paanduyu is home to an abundance of reptilian life due to it's much hotter temperatures, which is, again, the result of it's proximity to Keldan. It is one of three planets in the Keldan system that support life, the latter being Chalos itself and Sugelew.
== Atmosphere, magnetosphere and life ==
Despite Paanduyu's higher mass than Earth, there are no auroras present on the poles of the planet, meaning that there is no intrinsic magnetosphere taking place. As a result, one theory suggests that Paanduyu's atmosphere likely formed through volcanic activity and was changed because of the presence of life on Paanduyu. This gives Paanduyu an induced magnetosphere instead which blocks the stellar wind of Keldan from ever reaching the surface, which also permits life on the surface of Paanduyu.
