Kras is the second moon of Arkas added in the Arkas planet pack as of update 2.0 of Arkas: Development Edition
In-Game Description[]
"Kras is a large moon orbiting Arkas. It's terrain is very uneven and thus landing will be quite a challenge, about half of the surface is covered in slopes. The biggest question is, however, 'how did it form in the first place?'"

Trivia[]
- The name 'Kras' was contributed by the community. Kras was eventually a reddish desert planet and was remade in version 2.0, only to be remade entirely in 2.1, turning into a purple moon rather than a red desert.
- The moons added to Arkas are made in a modular format, meaning that they can be removed instantly at will.
- The name of the Cori Canyons biome is a reference to user CoriW on the KSP forums, Arkas' original creator.
- The name of the Daze Canyons biome is a reference to user sDaZe on the KSP forums, who suggested the name for the moon.
