Crysalis is a moon added by the 'Planet Cyran' planet pack. It orbits Cyran in an extremely eccentric, distant orbit, and sections of its metallic core are exposed across its surface.

In-Game Description[]

This poor little asteroid seems to have been involved in a massive collission eons ago. This impact was violent enough to strip the little moon of a chunk of its surface, exposing its core.

Physical Description[]

Crysalis is a small, lumpy world covered in knobbly grey peaks and reddish lowlands with patches of smooth, blue metal core poking through in many places. Most of the terrain is extremely uneven with massive mountains covering most of the planet, but the exposed core sections at the 0m datum altitude are perfectly flat.

Biomes[]

Crysalis has four biomes:
