It has a crushing gravity at 6.8 G and an atmospheric pressure of around a million. Its mean average temperature is a frigid -111.7 °C (-169 °F). It has a total of 80 moons with five of them being major bodies. One, Lioliss, is abnormally warm which is why it was settled by the Tkowes only two decades ago. Along with the moons the planet sports a small set of rings. The planet is 4.4 billion years old.

The life forms in the gaseous atmosphere of Nolaxelr are all floaters, living in different layers of the atmosphere. They “see” by mostly echolocation which is how they hunt. Some nearer the surface have something resembling eyes.
