Physical Charactaristics
Tylo has a rocky surface which varies in elevation from 0-11 kilometres. The surface loosely resembles that of Dres or the Mun, but is brighter and less defined by impact craters. Of these craters, there are four major ones which are all close to the equator and on the side which faces jool.
