History
A large impact crater, that spans 42km, is located in the planets southern hemisphere. Scientist estimate that a large asteral body impacted the planet some 10 million years ago and the ensuing cloud coverage caused an ice age that turned the planet into a desert once it settled. This is supported by the large fossil record that exsist on the planet that shows it was once a rich forest world with great lakes and a handful of wild life.
