Glacia is a moon of Cyran. It is a medium-sized moon in an appreciably inclined orbit and is the most distant of Cyran's moons, though Crysalis comes higher at apoapsis.
In-Game Description[]
| “ | Glacia is a cold and distant world, yet at the same time quite beautiful. It is estimated to have an ocean underneath its frozen crust. Due to its weird orbit, it is believed to be a small planet captured by Cyran. — Kerbal Astronomical Society |
” |
Physical Properties[]
At first glance, Crysalis appears similar to Dres with its grey uplands, heavily cratered surface and blue ice crater bottoms and lowlands. However, Glacia's are mostly much larger and well-defined, the lowlands ice is more blue and the uplands are higher.
Some craters have very craggy edges, and large mountains cover much of the upland areas of the moon.
(Note: Glacia's terrain is currently a mess thanks to Kopernicus changes until the author finishes the mod redevelopment)
Biomes[]
Glacia has only three ice-based biomes:
