Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 1 C A - Roche Terminal is a small 534km moon-of-a-moon in the Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 system. The system's star is a K7 IIAB giant at 36.8 solar radii, located 1000~ lightyears over the galactic plane at the south end of The Ascendance.

Roche Terminal has stunned geologists with its extreme physical characteristics, orbiting its parent at an incredibly fast 0.2 days, or 4.8 hours. From one point of the surface, distance to its parent has been measured as only 3.20 megameters, causing it to take up a very large part of the sky. It's predicted that due to this dangerously close orbit, the moon is on the verge of breaking apart due to tidal stress. Total solar eclipses happen several times a day, but are highly fleeting, starting and ending very quickly, and are often only partial, depending on where the observer is landed. Explorers are warned that the regular and sudden eclipses can pose a danger to exploration, as the object becomes extremely dark, with a thick veil of dust in low-altitude regions.

Powerful tidal heating has contributed strongly to major silicate vapour volcanism, with one site identified, at the coordinates -26.7683 -93.1863. The geysers at the site spew white smoke, with fluctuating activity, occasionally dying down completely.
