Pirza A3

Pirza A3 (pronounced /pɪrzə/) is a Surrogate Moon orbiting the planet of Florath II. The tiny moon, which is actually comprised of gas (making it a Surrogate Moon), is bright pink in colour and extremely hot in temperature. Comprised mainly of superheated nitrogen, it has an incredibly hot aura and whichever region it radiates upon is usually at least 10ºC hotter than an area not 50km kilometers away. Starships must be cautious when attempting to land upon Florath II, because Pirza A3 presents a kind of natural defense for it's planet.

History
Florath II was amoung the first 300 or so planets to be successfully colonized by the Sentinels, due to it's close proximity with the center of their Empire. Pirza A3 was at first difficult to pick up on the Judicia's scanners, which was the main starship being used to colonize the system at the time, and was taken for nothing but a solar flare. However, as it rotated around Florath II, it nearly destroyed the spacecraft as it orbited. Fortunately the Judicia was able to dodge the quick-moving moon, but several external systems were greatly damaged, which forced the Judicia to make an extended stop on Florath II until supply ships could reach the planet and have the damage repaired.
