Naheed

Naheed is the second planet from Helios and the second smallest in the Helios system. Naheed is one of two planets in the system that have retrograde orbits, and has the highest axial tilt in the entire Helios system. Due to its slow rotation, one day on Naheed is just slightly shorter than its orbital period, meaning the planet is almost entirely tidally locked. Naheed has the thickest atmosphere of all rocky planets in the Helios system, largely composed of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, which lead to extremely high surface pressure and temperature relative to other terrestrial planets.

Naheed has been important in many cultures throughout history. Due to its bright atmosphere many cultures recognized it as a “traveling star” and ascribed a religious significance to its movement in the sky. The name Naheed comes from the ancient water goddess of the modern-day Meridian Commonwealth, and the planet was seen and worshiped as the goddess herself. The Meridian Commonwealth began studying the surface of Naheed in 1954, and in 2001 biomarkers were identified in the atmosphere of Naheed that indicated the existence of life on the planet, though subsequent studies have yet to prove this.
