The second closest body of Indigo's binary system, Momiji may also be capable of sustaining life. Some scientists believe, in fact, that life may be more likely on Momiji than on Indigo. This belief is justified by some, on the basis that Momiji is among the warmest bodies in the Atos System, and it is the only planet other than Micras to feature an extreme abundance of liquid water. Much of Momiji, in fact, is covered in a series of warm oceans. Momiji was first discovered by scientists from Universalis at the Celestial Isles Observatory. It was named using the Sangunese word for maple leaf, referring to the distinctive shape of the primary western continent.
