Tallus

Talus is a carbon planet which orbits the pulsar Ruit. The entire planet was claimed by the Sultas Arfni Mining Company and serves as their headquarters. Talus is an enormous estate built over decades of successful mining and trading.

Physical characteristics
Talus's crust is rich with carbon and poor with oxygen. With a sky filled with ionized gas, the sky vibrantly flashes between red, blue and yellow. Tidally locked, the planet is incredibly hot on the day side with a slowly eroding surface. The night side is obscured in permanent darkness. Even so, the dark side is a scorching 700 K.

Talus was formed sometime after Ruit went supernova. It has a dusty, carbide crust on the surface and a kilometer thick layer of diamond. Below, the planet has a carbide mantle and an iron-nickel core. The diamond layer is at an easy to reach 5 kilometers from the planet's crust.
