In Sector 6, Yona was mapping two large snow worlds. Being a yak, she was used to cold temperatures, so she did not need to wear any heavy clothes outside. However, that was the standard procedure at home. These planets were another story. They were five times colder than Yakyakistan. She had to wear heavy coats, a scarf, and goggles on both of the planets. At least twice, she reached an altitude in the mountains where she could not breathe without using an oxygen tank. One of the planets was called Nitrogenia. On this planet, she learned from the locals about how to properly climb with sherpas. She was experienced in mountain climbing from living in the mountains, but this gave her some new knowledge to add in case she ever took on a climb that was more serious than what she was used to. She was also taught how liquid nitrogen could be used in battle situations to freeze enemies in their tracks.

The other planet was called "Cryo". Here, she learned about battle tactics in snowy environments. The Cryonians were generous enough to give demonstrations for multiple styles of snow battle. They even gave her copies of blueprints for some of their snow vehicles, so that she could form a squadron for use in snowy areas, no matter where the battle took place. She thanked the Cryonians and the Nitrogenians warmly for giving her this new knowledge for snow battle and mountaineering. Both planets had their fair share of mountains, areas to build storm shelters, blizzards, and glaciers. She experienced heavy snowstorms on both planets. Some of which made it almost impossible to see where she was going.

Once Yona was confident that she had not missed any spots on either of the planets, she charted the stars and returned to the space station.
