Aten is the smallest and innermost planet in the Harkis System. Its orbital period of just 97 days is the shortest of all the planets in the Harkis System. It is a terrestrial planet with a reddish cratered surface. It is a tectonically inactive planet with no significant atmosphere. Surface conditions range from -X°C during night to X°C during the day.
As Aten orbits Harkis within Sahar's orbit as an inferior planet, it never appears more than XX° away from Harkis in the sky. Aten only appears in Sahar’s sky as an evening star or a morning star. Due to its orbit close to the sun, Aten is extremely difficult to reach compared to other planets.

Geography
Aten is dominated by various craters and has a distinctive reddish color, caused by the large amount of iron oxide(?).
