Radalphus Wanderer

Radalphus Wanderer is a rogue planet currently located in sector A37-B53-Z62. The planet is a rocky terrestrial world of mass 2.3 M_std and is the only non-moon known to possess available Carboxysilvio in significant quantities. The presence of this material implies that the world once either orbited a parent in a highly eccentric orbit, or orbited in a multi-star system. It is also possible that it maintained a close circular orbit in resonance with a nearby large-mass sibling planet. The other conditions necessary for the formation of carboxysilvio have long since abated on the planet; its interior is completely solidified, with the planet estimated to be over 6 billion years old.

There is some evidence that the world once hosted carbon-based multicellular life, although this claim is disputed based on the tenuous nature of the evidence and some conflicting analysis. The conditions required to form and distribute the abundant carboxysilvio in the crust imply a violent existence during its greater lifetime, which would have been hostile to carbon-based life, although given the world’s age it could have hosted life and the formation conditions of carboxysilvio at separate times.
