Dengerfelt

Dengerfelt is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Last Starship" by author K.M. McCloud. The planet serves as a significant location within the narrative, primarily as the homeworld of a prominent alien species. Dengerfelt is depicted as a world with a harsh, arid environment, characterized by vast deserts and extreme temperatures. Its atmosphere is thin and requires specialized breathing apparatus for off-world visitors.

The indigenous species of Dengerfelt, known as the K'tharr, are adapted to survive these challenging conditions. They are described as a resilient and technologically advanced race, though their societal structure and cultural practices are often misunderstood by other galactic civilizations. The K'tharr have developed unique methods of resource extraction and energy generation to sustain themselves on their unforgiving planet. Dengerfelt's geological makeup is rich in rare minerals, making it a target for interstellar mining operations, which has led to historical conflicts with other species. The planet's orbit around a binary star system contributes to its volatile climate patterns and the distinctive coloration of its skies. The narrative of "The Last Starship" explores the complex relationship between the K'tharr and the human protagonists, with Dengerfelt itself playing a crucial role in the unfolding plot.
