Skōria (/ˈsu.vi/) is a subsatellite of Thalia, and is part of the smallest class of objects in the Eos sector. Like many subsatellites, it has a largely unremarkable surface of great plateaus and depressions, and no atmosphere to speak of.
Nomenclature
From Ancient Greek, Skōria describes a type of cinder-like formation that occurs during the explosion of a volcano. It is a closely related to pumice, though characteristically distinct, and forms when magma is is sprayed into the atmosphere and cools rapidly.
