Sucellus - LouisB3/Grannus-Expansion-Pack GitHub Wiki
Description
Not quite a planet, but many times larger than the rocky asteroids with which it shares its orbit, Sucellus is something in between. There is speculation this planetary dwarf could be rich in metal and mineral resources, but only by going there will we know for sure.
