Nara

Description

In classical astronomy, when close attention was paid to what would be known as Kuiper Kerman's Belt, it became apparent that there were many odd orbits, that something was stirring the ice asteroids like the LOX in a tank but having the opposite effect. The Kerbal Astronomical Society eventually realized that there was something out there with enough gravity to rival Jool and Lindor, and disturb the minor worlds beyond their reach. As Nara crept into observable ranges, it seemed like just another KB member, but the lack of apparent velocity was on a magnitude of its own, revealing its potential to be gigantic.

Trivia

Nara is JNSQ's version of the theoretical real life "Planet 9". While massive, Nara is only about 1/3 the size of giant planets like Uranus and Neptune. This lack of size led Nara's surface to freeze solid. While it lacks the thick gaseous envelope of its larger siblings, Nara still has a substantial hydrogen-helium atmosphere.
