Azsar

Azsar is a fictional planet located in the fictional Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations and diverse, albeit sparsely populated, ecosystem. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline deserts that shimmer under the light of its binary suns, Solara and Lumina. These deserts are interspersed with deep canyons carved by ancient, now-dry rivers, and dotted with oases sustained by subterranean water sources.

The atmosphere of Azsar is thin but breathable for many indigenous lifeforms, though it requires augmentation for off-world visitors. The dominant flora consists of silicon-based plants that have adapted to the arid conditions, often appearing metallic or crystalline. Fauna on Azsar is equally adapted, with many creatures possessing exoskeletons or specialized organs for water conservation. The most notable inhabitants are the Silicoids, a sentient, silicon-based species known for their stoic nature and advanced understanding of geology.

Azsar's economy is largely based on the extraction of rare minerals and crystals, highly valued for their energetic properties. The planet's low gravity and unique geological composition make it an attractive, albeit challenging, destination for mining operations. Despite its resources, Azsar remains relatively undeveloped due to the harsh environment and the protective stance of the Silicoids towards their homeworld. Interstellar trade is limited, with most contact focused on the exchange of raw materials for advanced technology.
