Template:Planetbox Dres is the fifth planet[1] of the Kerbol star system. It is located between Duna and Jool in a somewhat eccentric and inclined orbit. It is considered to be the Ceres analog for the game. It is similar to Moho and Eeloo in that it has no atmosphere and no natural satellites.
Geography
The surface of Dres appears light grey and is rocky and uneven, similar to that of Mün, with a surface covered in regolith rubble. Unlike the Mun, Dres has large patches of what appear to be ice. The highest points are just under 5.7 km in altitude. One notable geographic feature is a canyon just south of the equator which is several kilometers deep.

Changes
- Initial Release
Notes
- ↑ According to the IAU definition of planet,
A planet is a celestial body which:
- Is in orbit around the Sun,
- Has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and
- Has "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit.
Dres, a celestial body, orbits Kerbol, has a nearly spherical shape, and has cleared its neighborhood of debris.
