The planet is described as extremely rocky with canyons and a desert environment. Temperatures can reach at least 105 degrees during the day and at night, can go as far as ten degrees below freezing just before dawn. The planet's atmosphere, while breathable, is described as marginal and thin. A planetary day is equivalent to forty Earth hours, with an equal day and night cycle, each twenty hours long. While uninhabited due to its harsh environment, the planet has animal lifeforms including smaller creatures about the size of a person's arm that eat the tubers from beneath the gray plants growing on the planet and larger reptiles that are carnivorous and vicious, but possibly only live or hunt in the canyons and not on the main plateau.
