Why is this a Barren?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.
Classification Criteria:
Composition doesn't match standard planet typesMass: 2.1x EarthTemperature: 258K
Habitability ScoreExtremely Harsh

Contributing Factors
water44
Limited water content - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry75
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life - chlorine-laced environment attacks organic molecules — but the ground itself is radioactive, and no magnetic field shields a world from its own crust
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature70
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the black hole's accretion disk bathes this orbit in hard X-ray radiation
