Pyros is the is the planet third closest to the star Atos.
North Polar Regions
The North Polar region of Pyros is characterized by its dark, rocky terrain interspersed with occasional light-colored patches. The darker areas suggest extensive volcanic rock fields, indicating past geological activity. The region experiences frigid temperatures, though not as extreme as those on Eos, and is covered with frost and ice, particularly in the shadowed areas. This combination of rock and ice creates a rugged, almost desolate landscape, marked by craggy outcrops and deep crevasses.
Equatorial Regions
Pyros' Equatorial region features a more temperate climate compared to its poles, with extensive areas covered by a mixture of dark soil and lighter sandy deposits. This region appears to have a varied terrain, including expansive plains and occasional mountainous regions. The lighter areas suggest the presence of minerals or salts, which might be remnants of evaporated bodies of water. The climate here is relatively stable, with moderate temperatures that could support complex weather patterns, including occasional rainstorms. Vegetation, if present, would likely be sparse and adapted to the arid conditions.
Southern Polar Regions
The South Polar region of Pyros, much like the North, is marked by a combination of icy and rocky terrains. However, the southern pole appears slightly warmer, leading to a more dynamic environment where ice and rock interact more frequently. This results in a landscape featuring glacial movements and ice melt, contributing to temporary liquid water flows during warmer periods. The region is also characterized by its distinctive geological formations, such as ice-covered ridges and valleys, making it a focal point for studying the planet's climatic history and potential for sustaining life.

The second of the research probes to be launched as part of the Inner Atos System Survey, the IASS-00P1 was deployed on 36/1/35 PSSC on a mission to gather geographic and atmospheric data relating to the Pyrotian surface, and to investigate the possibility of life or the potential for settlement on Pyros. Foremost among the missions of the IASS-00P1 is to gather enough data to allow researchers to compile a detailed map of the planet.
IASS-00P1 is expected to arrive in orbit around Pyros around the middle of the year 37 PSSC. The probe, which is designed to orbit Pyros at a distance of around 440,000 km from the planet, will collect data for at least four years.
