Lapat from space
Possibly Lapat from space, as its the only body that would fit its Synopsis.

Lapat would have been released in the Interstellar Update in Kerbal Space Program 2. Lapat Scene was used to show vegetation tools, although the place itself would be lifeless. Lapat seems to be located in the Debdeb system, which is too young to support complex life.

Synopsis

Lapat synopsis can be found in the KSP2 Localization Files, discovered by KSP2 Redux members on KSP2 Modding Society Discord.

Lapat is covered in a thick, carbon dioxide atmosphere, wrapping it in a mysterious (some would say eerie) shroud. Placid water lakes and white sand swathe its smoggy surface, while striking dark mesas reach high into the sky. These towers stand tall enough to escape the oppressive atmospheric density around their bases. Please catalogue your emotional state upon beholding Lapat’s features for promotional purposes.

Characteristics

Lapat has a rusty red extremely high mesas, with a sandy, smoggy surface with placid water lakes and lithium deposits. Blue, cloudy and incredibly thick atmosphere. Since Gurdamma is an analogue of early Earth, Lapat may be intended as an analogue of early Mars.

Lapat had an incredibly thick atmosphere, and it also had one extremely high mesa. I think we were going to place lithium deposits in the very lowlands of Lapat... And you have to make an interesting kind of vehicle to make that happen. The way the atmosphere was set up, flying vehicles would just not be a good solution for that resource extraction challenge''
