| Albicosus is a cold and mostly barren world. It is the fourth planet in the Caperion system, at a distance of 460 million kilometers from the star, Caperion. It has an average surface temperature of -10 celsius. It is the largest terrestrial planet with a diameter of 26,616 kilometers, and a high gravity of 2.05 x standard gravity. It orbits Caperion every 586 standard days, and has a planetary rotation time of 93 hours. It is the only ringed planet in the system. Its ring is comprised primarily of rock and ice. An atmosphere is present, but has an incredibly low oxygen level. | | Albicosus is a cold and mostly barren world.

| Albicosus’ surface is largely covered in sheets of ice and glaciers. Its rocky surface does periodically cut to the surface in sharply carved mountain peaks, or in the basins and crags in of the ice sheets. The rocky tectonic plates have rarely shown any movement, but the ice that covers them frequently slide across the plates, resulting in far more movement than seen on the surfaces of other planets. This can result in frequent avalanches on the planets’ sharp mountainsides. | | Albicosus’ surface is largely covered in sheets of ice and glaciers.
