Polus

Polus is a cold terrestrial planet orbiting the second brown dwarf in the Luhman 16 solar system. It is a purple planet with a thin purple atmosphere, few clouds, lots of lava lakes, and lots of snow/ice coverage. There are also large lakes and small oceans on the planet. There is a planetary base set up by the Crewmates in an attempt to research and study the planet, as well as to excavate its treasures and deliver them back to their headquarters.

General Information
The planet's diameter is in between those of Mars and Venus, but the approximate value is unknown, although it is estimated to be about 5,500 miles (8,849.5 kilometers). The atmosphere is very thin, which allows surface viewers access to the stars. Its core is very active, and as a result, it drives the motion of the mantle and lithosphere that both drag the crust along with it, creating tectonic activity and tearing the surface open. Very few astronauts from all other species visit the planet, with the only long time members being the Crewmates. Tons of research is broadcasted from their base to The Skeld, which is in orbit around the planet, and to their headquarters, on the opposite side of the Luhman 16 system. It is unknown how extensive their research is, but it is assumed that is is very extensive and deep.

Extra Information
The planet earned its name from a guard working at The Wall, a highly secure prison, Polus Petrovich. His bio states that he won a sweepstakes and got to name a planet after himself. Lucky guy!

Trivia

 * Polus' inclusion in the RPverse is a direct reference to the video game Among Us, released by InnerSloth on June 15, 2018. The Polus map was released on November 12, 2019 in the Polus Bundle DLC, costing $4. Eventually, the price dropped to $2, and in 2020, the map was made free and included in the standalone game. The bundle can still be purchased, but it only provides its corresponding skins and hats.
 * Although Polus is in the Luhman 16 solar system in the RPverse, in Among Us, the true solar system for this planet is unknown. It is also unknown of there are other planets in Polus' solar system.
 * Despite Polus being the primary orbital target for The Skeld, it is unknown where exactly The Skeld is in space. In its ingame map, it is shown to be thrusting itself forward through a field of stars. Similarly, MIRA HQ is on the opposite side of the system, although in the game, it is somewhere in Earth's atmosphere as an above-earth base.
 * Despite Polus having a texture when seen from space in the RPverse, it is unknown what its true surface looks like from space. In the game, Polus' map icon appears to have a giant crater or chasm, taking out roughly 65% of the planet's surface and interior. The alternative to this is a massive lava lake on RPverse Polus' surface.
 * Polus' surface is covered in lava pits in the RPverse, while only one lava lake exists at the ingame map.
 * Despite RPverse Polus being 5,500 mi (8,849.5 km) in diameter, actual Polus' diameter is unknown.
 * Polus Petrovich is a direct reference to The Henry Stickmin Collection, also released by InnerSloth.
