Basemiltas

Basemiltas is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy, as depicted in the novel "Chronicles of Xylos" by author Anya Sharma. The planet is characterized by its predominantly arid landscape, with vast deserts punctuated by scattered, hardy flora that has adapted to extreme temperatures and scarce water resources. The atmosphere is thin and breathable for most carbon-based lifeforms, though it requires specialized filtration for extended periods.

The indigenous inhabitants of Basemiltas, known as the Kryll, are a sentient species with a unique physiology adapted to their harsh environment. They possess a tough, leathery hide and are known for their resilience and communal societal structure. Their civilization is technologically advanced, focusing on sustainable energy sources and terraforming techniques to manage their planet's limited resources.

Economically, Basemiltas is known for its rare mineral deposits, particularly lumina crystals, which are highly sought after for their energy-conducting properties. This has led to limited but carefully regulated trade with off-world entities, primarily for essential resources not found on their home planet. The Kryll maintain a cautious approach to interstellar relations, prioritizing the preservation of their ecosystem and cultural identity. The novel explores the challenges and triumphs of the Kryll as they navigate their existence on Basemiltas and their interactions with other galactic civilizations.
