Tawikas is a massive terrestrial planet composed of a turquoise compound.
Tawikas is extremely dense, it contains more mass than all rocky bodies in the Saldis system up to itself. Despite this, the distance to any astronomical object prevents total chaos from Tawikas' massive gravitational field.
Despite the distance to other objects the surface is covered in massive craters belived to be formed from collisions with Naros-sized objects. It is belived that Tawikas once had techtonic activity as massive but dormant volcanoes dot the surface.
The atmosphere of Tawikas consists of cold Hydrogen and Helium gas. The atmosphere is extremely diffuse (low density). Winds up to 1000km/h swirl around the planet, although the low density means the winds feel like a breeze.
The winds pick up a significant amount of dust and regolith making outside exploration somewhat difficult.
Tawikas has a large ring system composed of dust and gas similar in colour and composition to Tawikas.

@RejininAerospace A massive rocky planet that formed quite late meaning almost all the Hydrogen and Helium were blown away when Saldis started fusing Hydrogen

this would be a chthonian.planet but it does not orbit close to its star. I also wonder how did the craters form? it might have formed after it lost the gases.
