The surface of [Aurius-7c] is composed of electrically charged hot ice, known as ‘superionic ice’. This type of exotic matter forms at extremely high temperatures and pressures, where water simultaneously adopts solid and fluid states. To maintain a stable internal temperature and protect its reproductive organs, Lucens borealis uses a layered structure that traps air, thus creating an effective thermal barrier.
