	The third planet in the system is primarily composed of Osmium, Lead, Uranium, and Plutonium. This unique ~~and~~ heavy ~~[[elemental]] composition~~ contributes to the planet's extreme conditions. The surface temperature reaches a staggering 41,640.21 degrees Celsius, which is several thousand times hotter than Earth's average temperature. This intense heat keeps much of the planet's surface in a molten state, with rivers of metallic plasma coursing across its landscape. The planet's atmospheric pressure is equally extreme, measuring at 6.9 YPa (yottapascals), a value that is several thousand times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure. This high pressure and temperature result in heavy volcanic activity, further contributing to the planet's molten state. Despite these harsh conditions, the planet's surface radiation level is around 100 millisieverts per year, which is significantly higher than Earth's but comparable to the second planet in the system. This extreme environment, while inhospitable to known life forms, provides a unique opportunity for studying the effects of high pressure, high temperature, and high radiation on planetary geology and potential extremophile life forms.

			The Lestra Star System is a captivating celestial ensemble, centered around a DC3 White Dwarf star. The system is home to five unique planets, each with its own distinct characteristics and phenomena. The first planet, Lestra 1, is a P4 class planet with a high gravity and a surface composed of a mix of Silicon, Iron, Magnesium, and Ice. The second planet is primarily composed of Lead and Uranium, with a high surface radiation level. The third planet is known for its atmospheric crystal networks and extreme surface conditions. The fourth planet, Lestra 4, is a class I planet with a large size and a unique landscape that is constantly changing due to its active crust. The fifth planet, Lestra 5, is a gas giant known for its diamond rain and superfast winds. Each planet in the Lestra Star System presents unique opportunities for scientific exploration and discovery, making it a fascinating system in the vast expanse of the universe.

	Lestra is a star not far from Markab, only around 16 ly from that system and around 120 ly from Earth, the terrestrial stellar catalogue lists it as HD 218133. It is a G0 star brighter and hotter than Sol but still well within optimal range for M class planets. The star has a faster spin than most G type stars leaving a higher incidence of radiation bursts as the magnetic field moves along the plane of the system.

	The system has 14 planets. The closest 7 are rocky planets with the remaining 6 to be gas giants of various kinds. There are 3 M class planets, the closest being Lestra 2 which is a desert planet. It supports a very sparse population centered around a stellar observatory from the Vulcan Science Academy in a joint effort with the Tellarite Exploration Directorate.		The system has 14 planets.
