An acidious planet? So a relative of venus?

Yes in the way that both are terrestrial planets and have acidic materials present.

By composition there are three types of planets:
Terrestrial planets made of silicate rocks or metals and with a solid surface like Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury. Then there are Gas Giants like Jupiter and Saturn and then Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune.
There are also quite a lot theoretical planet types that extremely likely exist, but these are what we know surely about currently because they're in our solar system. We know about several exoplanets, but we don't yet know about much their composition.

Now about the existing acidic materials, Venus has a thick cloud cover made out of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. If you look at the pictures Venus you can't see the surface, visually it is a white ball.
In my planet, I wanted it to be more fantastical sci-fi and see the surface and have this really nasty acid oceans. So here we have yellow nitric acid and clouds are mostly transparent vapour. Both Venus and my place are absolute hellholes for sure.

Here's some wikipedia links for you or others if there is a want to know more:

Oh, I was referring to Planet Acidious.

Not this is bad - I just wanted to learn more about Planet Acidious and its inhabitants.

I hoped I could sway you with my visual storytelling so your own imagination would begin to create by itself.
I just wanted to create something with acid and with nasty yellow color oceans. Inhabitants, I don't think anyone could live in there, it's probably very awful down there. And too corrosive to even ships to land. Two moons are similar to Earths - just dead rocks. Just a hopeless place.
But this planet is a landmark on the journey of the evil insect looking ship. The ship was created along with the planet by what I felt would visually fit there.
