The planet orbits Gliese 667 C, a member of the Gliese 667 triple-star system. Seraphia is a place of extraordinary scientific intrigue. Our initial scans indicate that the planet has an atmosphere bearing similarities to Earth's, albeit with variations in gas concentrations. We have confirmed Seraphia to be within the habitable zone of its parent star, Gliese 667 C, making it a good candidate for potential life. We can also confirm the initial conjecture by observers that the planet is tidally-locked, with one side of the planet in permanent darkness, and the other in permanent illumination by its sun.

Roald stood serenely, contemplating the beauty of the vista. To the locals, the people who had walked and lived around these hills for centuries, the valley was a sanctuary of beauty, a testament to the unspoiled charm of rural life. But that harmony was now disturbed by rumours about a proposed housing development. Only 50 new houses, the developer had said, cheque in hand to the local council. To many local politicians, perhaps even a majority, it was progress; but to the locals, Roald knew it was an abomination.
