Exploration Challenge (within the bubble)

Looking for something to do? Are you an explorer that doesn't want to go out into the unknown/wants to stay in the bubble at this time but needs a 'focus' or 'drive' for exploration? Tired of searching for Raxxla and want to look for something that actually exists for a change? Well look no further for I have something for you!

I'm looking for planets/moons with deep (2km+) sub-canyons. I'd like some help to do it! Achelous 8 A was the first that I knew about (discovered probably a year ago), and recently I started looking for more, in the bubble. So far I have found just 2 other moons that fit the bill: Berkanan 8b and Ordonner 2 A. Incidentally, and maybe coincidentally, all 3 of these moons are "Rocky Ice bodies", volcanic with geysers (though they each have a different type of geyser), and all have 800-900km radius. Note: not all of the subcanyons on these planets are that deep, but a lot are. (To be fair, I have specifically been searching for Rocky Ice Bodies, and have only been looking at bodies 400-1100km in radius due to wanting to narrow my search). Though I have been searching, I need to take a break from roaming the galaxy and will also be going on vacation soon. So...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to search the bubble and report back on any planets and/or moons with sub-canyons that consistently get up to 2km deep or more. Of particular interest, and to add as a bonus, is to find such a body previously described that also has a planetary station players can dock at. This message will...not...self destruct in 10 seconds.

What do I mean when I say Sub-Canyons? I mean the structure formed by the stalagmite-type formations that come off the ground, grouped so close to each other they form canyons around them. You cannot see these from space and are generally at the bottom of the larger canyons that you actually can see from space that are often a different color from rest of the planet surface. Pictures and video below to show what I mean. Stalagmites of this size are typically very pointy with some (larger ones) cut off at the top (are flat). The stalagmites on bodies that generally have small ones are almost all cut-off, or flat, on top and rarely get over 1km high.

Bonus points (or, I assume, financial reward :) ) for a pretty backdrop? 😛

If you're genuinely looking to max out numbers you could post an inara bulletin?
