- | ===== Kauketean Class ===== | + | These are worlds which are not massive enough to retain heat, so will be cold, dead worlds. |

- | + | * [[Odyssian]] - These are massive enough to be considered Jovian worlds if they were in orbit around a star. | |
- | ===== Odyssian | + | * [[Stevensonian]] -These are Planemo worlds most likely to be habitable. A thick atmosphere traps geothermal heat, allowing for liquid water oceans. The lack of solar heating means that the temperatures are similar all across the world. |
