A tiny rocky world scorched by the intense radiation of JBC-9052. Its barren surface is dominated by iron and silicate rock, with a thin dusty atmosphere and almost no water. It has no moons or known life.
Why is this a Desert World?Your planet is a hot (469K), bone-dry silicate rock that kept its atmosphere - with no water cycle to wash the air, wind lofts a permanent dust veil over endless dune seas.
Desert worlds are the Tatooine/Arrakis archetype: enough rock to build a solid surface, enough air to carry dust, and too little hydrogen for oceans or rain. Heat bakes out any trace moisture, so nothing interrupts the wind's work - dune seas, wind-carved rock, scorching days.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Hydrogen: 1.0% (<5% - bone dry, no water cycle)✓ Temperature: 469K (300-500K hot band)✓ Silicon + Iron + Magnesium: 57.0% (>=30% - a real rocky surface)✓ Holds an atmosphere to carry the dust haze

Contributing Factors
water1
Very dry - minimal water - likely as steam (water stripped by extreme rotation)
geology30
Geologically dead - no nutrient recycling
rotation0
Catastrophic rotation - centrifugal forces would destroy surface structures and prevent atmosphere retention
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere7
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (severely compromised by extreme rotation)
temperature15
Extremely hot - hostile to known life forms
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
