Rimal System

A distant desert world awaits beyond the light of Kerbol...

Rimal System is a stock-scale planet pack for Kerbal Space Program that adds the Kanopus star system, home to the harsh desert planet Rimal. Inspired by classic science fiction while remaining grounded in the Kerbal universe, the mod focuses on exploration, scientific discovery, and stunning landscapes.

Orbiting the brilliant white giant Kanopus, Rimal is a world shaped by wind and time. Endless dune seas cover much of the planet, interrupted by towering volcanoes, deep canyons, and ancient rock formations carved over millions of years. Powerful dust storms sweep across the surface, while valuable crystalline deposits known as Spice lie buried beneath the sands, waiting to be discovered.

Whether you're planning a crewed expedition, establishing a remote research outpost, or simply searching for breathtaking views, Rimal offers a challenging destination unlike any found in the stock Kerbol system.
