Overview

BLU  is the closest planet to the Sun or SOL. Named Blution in the briefing of Mission 28, it is a deep blue colored planet, explored by the Seismometer Experiment in that mission. It has a strong gravitational pull which can make landing attempts somewhat difficult so matching your velocity with the planet's rotation is crucial to have a safe landing.

From BLU (+9) you can reach PUR (895), SOL (818), and GOL (965).

Trivia

• The radius of the planet has been calculated to be about 4 NaviComp units.
• The rotational period has been calculated to be 24 seconds.
• It is one of the two planets to be explicitly named in-game, the other being HOM, being referred in a mission as "Home Planet".
• It is the closest planet to SOL.
• BLU's counterpart in Space Agency 2138 could be either Blutan or Stef, though it's more likely that it is Blutan.
