huh, sort of thing that would be benefit from a soft split for Phaeton planets, trans-neptunian objects etc - Thanks
There used to be an idea that there was another solar planet between Mars and Jupiter that was destroyed in some cataclysmic event to from the asteroid belt. Commonly referred to as Phaeton from Religious and Mythological Theme Naming
Kinda like Counter-Earth it's popular to show up in throwbacks
examples include:
- Turog from Werewolf: The Apocalypse
- Vulcan from Space 1889
- Scarlet Traces has the the invaders from War of the Worlds originally from the destroyed planet who previously invaded Mars and wiped out the native martians (based on the ones from John Carter of Mars)
- Ocean has a crew discovering the cryogenically persevered remnants of the planet who destroyed it in a violent civil war
