KSP1 version (test)

Please leave this page here: I'm doing some tests to see if it is possible to separate KSP and KSP2 info in several pages. Thanks! Nazalassa (talk)

Dres is the fifth planet in the Kerbol 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 (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 because it "is content to 'hang out' with other space objects"; in other terms, it has asteroids in close proximity.

In-game Description

A dwarf planet, Dres has the gravitational pull to round itself out as it orbits the sun, but it doesn't rule its inclined, eccentric orbit like a proper planet. It is content to 'hang out' with other space objects, rather than tell them to become moons or get lost. Dres is also home to a lovely ring system and rad equatorial ridge! How unique!


Topography

As with some other planets and moons, the topography of Dres is significantly different in KSP2; This version of Dres sees the introduction of an equatorial ridge. The coloration is also much different, as most of the surface is now rifle green in color, with the exception of the bright vanilla polar regions and equatorial ridge.


Ring system

KSP2 sees the introduction of a ring system around Dres. These rings are similar in color to Dres' own bright vanilla polar regions and equatorial ridge. These rings are likely a replacement for the Drestroid belt.
