Dres
Dres is the fifth and smallest planet in the kerbol system. Its orbit is somewhat inclined and eccentric, making it a bit difficult to intercept. It functions as the analogue for the real life dwarf planet Ceres and resembles the saturnian moon Iapetus in appearance. Dres has a thin system of rings, which serve as an analog for many ringed minor objects in the solar system like Chariklo.

Synopsis
A dwarf planet. Dres has the gravitational pull to round itself out as it orbits the sun, but it doesn't rule its inclined eccentric orbit like a proper planet. It is content to 'hang out' with other space objects rather than tell them to become moons or get lost. Dres is also home to a lovely ring system and rad equatorial ridge. How unique!
Trivia
- Dres's rings are a reference to the Dres-teroid belt from KSP1, in which asteroids spawning in orbit of Dres could be mapped out to appear as rings around dres in the map view.
