Smacoviridae
Smacoviridae is a family of single-stranded DNA viruses. The genomes of this family are small (2.3–2.8 kilobases in length). The genomes are circular single-stranded DNA and encode rolling-circle replication initiation proteins (Rep) and unique capsid proteins. Six genera are currently recognized in this family.[1] The viruses in this taxon were isolated from faecal samples from insects and vertebrates by metagenomic methods. Little is known about their biology.

Biology
These viruses have single stranded genomes of 2.3–2.8 kilobases in length. The genome encodes six proteins including a Rep (replicator) and a CP (capsid) protein.
gollark: There are also day/night cycle issues, although I suppose you could just assume one from some convenient point on the ground.
gollark: Specifically the Mecca.
gollark: I expect you'd need some kind of complex gyroscopic chair to point you the right way.
gollark: Muslim prayer is kind of weird. For example, how does it work in space?
gollark: There are also these weird extreme ones.
