Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (17.1% calcium/titanium/aluminum-family rock formers) instead of the silicate-iron recipe every standard rocky world uses.
Exotic terrestrials are temperate solid worlds whose geology skipped the silicate playbook - carbonate plains, titanium-gray mesas, alkali flats. They can hold air, water ingredients, and real habitability, but with no silicate continents or iron core they are their own class, not earth-likes.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Exotic rock formers: 17.1% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 0.0% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 278K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 40.0% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water100
Abundant water (low gravity lets water escape to space)
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry20
Limited organic chemistry potential
atmosphere40
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the pulsar's beams bathe this orbit in hard X-rays
