1 out of 10 useless planet
 
 
'''Dres''' is the fifth planet in the [[Kerbol]] star system. It is located between [[Duna]] and [[Jool]] in a somewhat eccentric and inclined orbit. It is considered to be the [[w:Ceres_(dwarf_planet)|Ceres]] analog for the game. It is similar to [[Moho]] and [[Eeloo]] in that it has no [[atmosphere]] and no natural satellites (aside from a ring system of asteroids).  Dres has the least gravity of any planet in the Kerbol system.  Dres is considered a dwarf planet by the game because it has not "cleared its neighborhood"; in other terms, it has asteroids in close proximity.
 
 
 
== In-game Description ==
 
 
 
{{Quote
 
|Dres is a very small planet. It was the first planet considered to be a dwarf. It’s orbit is highly irregular and together with it’s size it took a long time to discover since half the time it was not where scientists expected to find a planet.<br />
 
<br />
 
''Due to its nature of frequenting the bad parts of space, this dwarf planet was officially labeled as “Not to be trusted” by the scientific community.''
 
|[[Kerbal Astronomical Society]]}}
 
 
 
== Geography ==
 
The surface of Dres appears light grey and is rocky and uneven, similar to that of [[Mun]], with a surface covered in [[w:Regolith|regolith]] rubble. Unlike Mün, Dres has large patches of what appears to be ice. The highest points are just under 5.7&nbsp;km in altitude. One notable geographic feature is a canyon which is called the "Dres Canyon" just south of the equator, which is several kilometers deep.
 
 
 
===Cratering===
 
The surface of Dres has several craters. However, unlike other planetary bodies, none are very prominent, the largest being slightly under 13&nbsp;km in diameter.
 
 
 
In total, 42 craters have been positively identified. Another 5 are still waiting for confirmation. The spreading of the craters is biased to the western, particularly the northwestern, hemisphere of Dres.

== Trivia ==
 
*Dres was the subject of a Kerbal meme referring to the status of Dres as an interesting place or a boring place.
 
**KSP Youtuber Felsmak created a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GXFzMnCWBs youtube video] about how Dres is boring.
 
**Felsmak later made a video about how [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n1l8_a-gU0 Dres is a hoax]. This was a parody of the Bielefeld Conspiracy, not a serious video.
 
**This had led some forumers to start the Dres Appreciation thread, and others to fight back.
 
**That led to a flame war which essentially bled into unrelated forum posts.
 
**Felsmak closed the thread on his Dres Hoax video, stating that "This Dres meme has gotten kinda spammy now, it seems, and I don't really want to encourage it any further."
 
*According to the International Astronomical Union, Dres would be considered a planet as it does not share an orbit with any other objects.
 
*The Dres-teroid belt is not an analogue of the asteroid belt, but rather a diffuse ring of debris orbiting Dres. This means that Dres actually has an unknown and variable amount of natural satellites.
 
**According to the International Astronomical Union. This technically means that Dres has the most moons in the solar system. As there is not an official definition of what qualifies as a moon.
 
*Dres, Vall, Eeloo, and Moho are the only bodies in the solar system that are colored completely using a PQSMod_HeightColorMap. (Colors are based purely on the terrain height)
