Gouna II, or interstellar object 8496-2265-7-523726-494 A2, is a warm arid subterra planet of 4 moons. When initially observed, relayed data and photometry showed gradients of light patterns similar to those found on other terra worlds, suggesting terrestrial life. Although the planet also possesses a thick oxygen-rich atmosphere for trapping in heat from its two binary stars, these temperatures are much higher than those suitable for colonization, nearing 203°C in full sunlight.

Upon extended survey of the planet, its surface resembles that of an expansive desert, with large salt lakes and little variation to elevation. However, some regions of arid grasslands can be found stitched between the massive deserts, possibly home to several unique types of organic multicellular life.

Colonization Suitability: Class IV - Low (14.5)
