Planet NX-478, or as it's informally known, “Crystal Veil,” glistens in space due to its unique atmospherics. Viewed from orbit, NX-478 appears swirling with a copper-orange hue, shrouded in translucent layers of crystal-like clouds that intermittently sparkle under the distant sun’s rays. These clouds composed of highly reflective silicon-based compounds, give rise to the planet’s famed Crystal Veil Auroras—luminous displays of light that dance across the sky in vivid shades of sapphire and emerald. The surface of NX-478 is dominated by sprawling ice fields and towering mountains, interspersed with massive, craggy cliffs that emit a faint luminescence at night due to embedded phosphorescent minerals. The spectacle is further enhanced during the frequent electromagnetic storms, when the auroras intensify, casting eerie, dancing shadows over the rugged icy terrain. This harsh yet stunning environment remains one of the most visually compelling, albeit uninhabited, celestial landscapes discovered in the outer sectors.
