Kakuloa
Habitable planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B, (Alpha Centauri B II)
First extra-solar planet landed upon by humans (but first settlement on Sawyers World).
- Largest city: Krechets Landing, Kakuloa City (? see Renee)
- Rotation: ~23 hr ?
- Radius: slightly smaller than Earth (0.986 e, 7880 mi)
- Density: slightly higher than Earth (5.76 gm/cm3, vs 5.52 for Earth)
- Gravity: slightly higher than Earth per Alpha Centauri: First Landing (1.028g)
Escape velocity is lower than Sawyers World, thus less than 11.42 km/sec (or net less than 11 km/sec)
- 11.35 km/sec, with a 0.48 km/sec equatorial rotation boost.
Two moons, one about Luna sized, Mahina Nui, and one about 460km (285mi) diameter, Mahina’uku.

- Tree squids
- Former thriving squidberry industry (see Stone Age, Reticuli)
