Blajeista

Blajeista is a fictional planet within the science fiction universe of Mass Effect. It is a terrestrial world located in the Andromeda galaxy, specifically in the Kepler-186 system. Blajeista is characterized by its unusual atmospheric composition, which gives the planet a distinct reddish hue visible from space. The surface of Blajeista is largely arid, with vast deserts and rocky plains dominating the landscape. Evidence suggests that at some point in its history, the planet may have harbored liquid water, but current conditions are extremely dry.

The planet is home to a small, indigenous species known as the K'tharr. The K'tharr are a nomadic, insectoid race that has adapted to Blajeista's harsh environment. They are known for their resilience and their unique societal structure, which is based on a hive mind. The K'tharr have developed rudimentary technology, primarily focused on survival and resource extraction. They are not technologically advanced enough to engage in interstellar travel or participate in galactic politics. Due to its remote location and lack of significant resources, Blajeista has not been a major focal point for galactic exploration or colonization. Its primary significance lies in its role as the homeworld of the K'tharr and as a testament to the diverse range of planetary conditions that can exist in the Mass Effect galaxy.
