END OF BRIEFING

At a Glance

Barzan is an anomaly within its own system. It is the sole rocky planet and it is between a hot, reducing Class J planet and a frigid Ice Giant. Barzan qualifies as a "Super-Earth" as it is almost 25% larger than Earth. However, because it lacks a substantially large nickel-iron core, its mass is less than a world of its size should be. It is also just outside of its system's "habitable zone." It is due to its dense Ozone and low cloud albedo that makes the pleasant temperate. The planet has very little seasonal variation whatsoever. Languid winds from the planets slow, steady rotation evenly distributes water and heat across the planet from pole to pole.
