Alcorin

Alcorin is a fictional planet within the fictional Starfield universe. It is located in the Alpha Centauri system. This planet is known for its harsh, arid environment, characterized by vast deserts and rocky plains. The atmosphere is thin and often filled with dust storms. Despite its challenging conditions, Alcorin supports a limited range of hardy flora and fauna adapted to survive with minimal resources.

The planet's mineral wealth has attracted prospecting operations, though its remoteness and environmental hazards make extensive colonization difficult. Small, self-sufficient outposts are the primary form of human presence on Alcorin, typically focused on resource extraction or scientific research. Navigation and survival on Alcorin require specialized equipment and training due to its extreme temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns. The planet's geological formations are of particular interest to xeno-geologists, offering insights into planetary evolution in arid systems. Exploration of Alcorin is often undertaken by independent prospectors or well-funded corporate expeditions.
