====== Proto Lithian ======

{{ :worldgen:pcl:protolithian.png?nolink&160|}}
**Group:** [[dwarf_terrestrial_group]] \\
**Class:** [[dwarf_terrestrial_group#Protothermic Class]]

These are normally young worlds within the first 100 million years of formation. Sometimes though a small dwarf world that is too close to a star to be able to cool down exhibit similar characteristics, and will also be classed as //Proto Lithian//.

They may have a fully or partially molten surface, and are geologically unstable.

==== Atmosphere ====

These worlds will often have an atmosphere, though it is a temporary one created by outgassing from the molten surface. Eventually the rate of loss to space will exceed creation, and the atmosphere will finally dissipate.
