Gurdamma is a young terrestrial planet resembling young earth during the hadeon residing outside of the Kerbol system. This planet is in Kerbal Space Program 2. Gurdamma experiences bombardment from asteroids and it has some lava lakes scattered across the surface. It also has large lakes and ocean that fill craters with water. Gurdamma will have a thick atmosphere and very short days,. The planet has a ring and one confirmed moon, Donk.

Mountains

Gurdamma has some mountains and hills.

Lava lakes

Gurdamma does have some lava lakes which are formed by recent asteroid impacts

resemblance to young earth

Gurdamma is an analog for a young terrestrial world that one day might bear life, but for now is a steamy world with a thick atmosphere, and a large close moon. Gurdamma also has a very short day, considering kerbins day is around 6 hours, and days on hadean era were only 12 hours, expect days on Gurdamma to be around 3 hours.

Gurdammas atmosphere will likely not be breathable.

The story we're trying to tell with Gurdamma is that it's similar to Earth during the Hadean Eon, relatively shortly after the formation of the Moon. I was actually pretty surprised myself how close the Moon was immediately after its formation: 16 times larger in the sky than today, and just a whisker beyond the Roche limit! and Gurdamma has a very short day'
