Nehalennia (/ˈnɛ.hɑː.lɛn.ni.ɑː/) is a large moon with a faded orange surface, which is set with gentle hills and wide open plains. Its atmosphere is quite thick and its largest composite gas is surtrite. Throughout the day, the sky shifts through dusty blues and yellows, fading to orange at dusk. It has an unusually thin purple asteroid belt with relatively sparse minerals, which is visible from the surface throughout the day.
