Solos

Solos is a planet, most likely in the Nebula of Cyclops. Solos is similar in size to Earth, but it takes 2000 years to orbit its sun. Though it isn't tilted on its axis, Solos does experience seasons, since it moves closer to and farther from the sun. These season last around 500 years and the temperatures can be become very extreme.

Solos was shown to be covered in barren heaths and caves. There is also a unusual nitrogen isotope found on the planet which turns into a gas when it reacts with the sun's UV rays. The native Solonians are immune to the gas, but it can kill a human in an hour and can also be dangerous for a Gallifreyans.

Solos is also rich in thaesium, which is why the humans tried to colonize it. During its colonization, it had an Earth Empire Skybase in orbit. The Skybase was used as a platform to manipulate the atmosphere into one suitable for humans; as a side-effect of this process, nocturnal firestorms began occurring in the sky. (DW: The Mutants)
