Detritioksesta is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Chronicles of Aethelred" by Anya Sharma. The planet is described as a terrestrial world with a dense, oxygen-rich atmosphere and a humid, tropical climate. Its surface is characterized by vast, interconnected jungles teeming with diverse and often dangerous flora and fauna.

The dominant sentient species on detritioksesta are the Xylos, a bipedal reptilian race known for their advanced bio-engineering capabilities and their deep connection to their planet's ecosystem. They are depicted as a reclusive and territorial people, wary of outsiders due to past exploitation of their world's natural resources.

The narrative of "The Chronicles of Aethelred" often involves expeditions to detritioksesta, driven by the search for rare medicinal plants and unique biological specimens. These expeditions frequently encounter challenges posed by the planet's hostile environment and the Xylos' defensive measures. The planet serves as a backdrop for themes of environmentalism, cultural conflict, and the ethical implications of scientific discovery. Detritioksesta's ecosystem is portrayed as both beautiful and perilous, with bioluminescent plants lighting up the dense undergrowth and apex predators lurking in the shadows. The Xylos have developed sophisticated methods of navigating and surviving this environment, often incorporating organic technology into their daily lives and defenses. The planet's unique geological features, such as geothermally active regions and floating islands, also contribute to its distinct and memorable setting.
