Not much is known about the planet Koppai other than it having a single moon, and that it is about 279,000 light-years away from [[PNF-404]]. The diameter of the Milky Way is around 100,000 light-years; assuming PNF-404 is Earth, Koppai would exist in a neighboring dwarf galaxy (the [[wikipedia:Small Magellanic Cloud|Small Magellanic Cloud]] is a good candidate distance-wise, which suggests that Koppai would potentially be observable through telescopes from Earth's surface). Koppai's surface is never seen or described in-game, but the opening [[cutscene]] seems to imply that the planet has a very thick atmosphere, covered in large masses of clouds. This implies Koppai has an Earth-like interior, with convection, a magnetosphere, and a means of [[wikipedia:Outgassing|outgassing]] (such as volcanoes) to seal in and keep an atmosphere. | Not much is known about the planet Koppai other than it having a single moon, and that it is about 279,000 light-years away from [[PNF-404]].

According to Brittany, the gravity on Koppai is roughly ten times stronger than on PNF-404. Assuming PNF-404 is Earth, this most likely indicates that Koppai is ten times denser than Earth, classified as a [[wikipedia:Mega-Earth|Mega-Earth]]. Brittany also mentions that Koppai's atmosphere has one-third the oxygen concentration of PNF-404's. Accordingly, if PNF-404 is again assumed to be Earth, Koppai would have an atmosphere that consists of roughly 7% oxygen. Brittany hypothesizes that the higher oxygen ratio is what allows the life-forms of PNF-404 to grow to such comparatively large sizes.

It is assumed that the giant insects that lived in the [[wikipedia:Carboniferus|Carboniferus]] only grew to their size due to the greater amounts of oxygen in the air during that time, which would support her theory. | ||
