Ukri is a small gas world orbiting Folan at just 0.10 AU. Its thick hydrogen-helium atmosphere is heated to over 1,000°C, while its extremely slow rotation leaves one side permanently scorched.
Why is this a Gas Dwarf?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.

Contributing Factors
water15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry50
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible
atmosphere12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature0
Inferno world - temperatures exceed all possibility of life
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
