Doring Primary planet in the Doring System System: Doring Primary Star: Doring Stellar Type: K3V ☼ Companion Star(s): None Distance from Earth: 180 ly Constellation: Columba Region: Fornax Mass (Sol): 0.80 Planetary Data: Distance: 0.56 AU Temperature: 270 K Mass: 0.60 Earth Radius: 5520 km Gravity: 0.80 G Orbital Period: 170 Days Rotation Period: 31 Hours Summary: Doring is a planet system orbiting an orange k-type star.
The primary planet is an extremely dry, desert world with a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere. The planet has been considered a candidate for terraforming because of its size and temperature. Though the planet is extremely dry, and would take large amounts of ice imported from outer solar system to create oceans.
Because of the system's isolation, split between multiple regions, no government or organization has considered undertaking the massive project. The small colonies on the surface are under constant bombardment by dust and electrical storms which are common across the planet.
