Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, once considered the ninth planet of the Solar System. In Terra Invicta, this distant, icy world offers significant habitation potential and represents a strategic outpost at the edge of the traditional solar system.
| Parameter | Value |

| Diameter | 2,379.8 km |
| Orbits | Sol |
| Orbital Period | 248.6 years |
| Distance from Sun | 29.7 - 49.3 AU (variable) |
| Atmosphere | Very thin nitrogen with methane and carbon monoxide |
| Habitation Sites | 9 |
| Satellites | 5 moons (largest is Charon) |
| Available Orbits |

Strategic Value
With 9 habitation sites, Pluto offers substantial colonial potential in the Kuiper Belt. Its position beyond Neptune's orbit makes it valuable for monitoring deep space and serves as a gateway to the outer solar system. Its unusual heart-shaped region (Tombaugh Regio) contains nitrogen ice that might be harvested for propellant and life support. The Pluto-Charon system effectively functions as a binary planet, providing unique gravitational dynamics.
