The seventh and final planet in the Paracrux system, Styx is a volcanic planet that spews large amounts of ash into its thin atmosphere. This combined with its distance from its star has made it extremely cold.

Features that draw attention to this world.

It is unknown how these storms can occur with such a thin atmosphere, but they have been observed on Styx. It is theorized that the atmosphere might be highly charged due to the radioactivity of the Planetary Ring.

Much like Merovarolor, Styx suffers from an unusual amount of volcanic activity. However, instead of it being perpetual, Styx Volcanism seems to be more cyclic. This allows the ash and the planets proximity from Paracrux to cool the climate down.

A ring of stellar debris orbiting Styx at an orbital radius of 200,000 kilometers, the Ring of Death got its name from the intense radiation of the belt. Thorough surveys have not been done as of yet to determine the value of the ring.
