Appenon

Colonial History
The fourth planet from the host star, Eta 7 Sigma, Appenon is an icey world with a thin atmosphere. Its mostly frozen ocean surface scraped across small mountain peak islands scarring the surface of the planet as the ocean beneath follows Appenon a and b, the planets moons. At only fifty percent the mass of Earth and a radius of 4,636km the planet's immense density gives it a surface gravity of .94 making it comfortable for human settlement. Early colonization of the Eta 7 Sigma system largely ignored Appenon until decades later as the Barrow Colony expanded throughout the system. Appenon become a science and research outpost hosting a population in the low tens of thousands by 2558.
