Telophere Prime is a water cloud gas giant orbiting the red dwarf star Telos C. It has a large ring system along with 64 moons. Its largest moon is Telophere IV, a habitable desert world. The planet exerts strong tidal pulls on its moons, responsible for the necessary heating to make life possible.

Telophere Prime is notable in that a large, blue storm 20,000 km in diameter can be seen as a feature on the planet.

Orbit

Telophere Prime orbits around Telos C and receives tidal heating from the star's regular radiation blasts.
