Discát

Discát is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus arm of the Milky Way galaxy. It is known for its arid climate and vast, rocky deserts. The planet's surface is dominated by towering mesas and deep canyons, sculpted by millennia of wind erosion. The atmosphere is thin and possesses a faint reddish hue, a result of the high concentration of iron oxide in the planet's soil.

Life on Discát has adapted to the harsh conditions. Small, resilient flora with deep root systems manage to survive in scattered oases, drawing moisture from underground aquifers. Fauna typically consists of burrowing creatures and hardy reptiles that can tolerate extreme temperatures and scarcity of water. The most prominent inhabitants are the K'tharr, a sentient species characterized by their tough, leathery skin and exceptional survival skills. They live in nomadic tribes, traversing the deserts in search of resources.

Discát's geological makeup includes significant deposits of rare minerals, making it a target for off-world mining operations. However, the planet's extreme environment and the presence of the K'tharr present considerable challenges for any interstellar endeavors. The K'tharr are known to be fiercely protective of their homeworld, and their understanding of the planet's subtle ecological balance is profound. Exploration and resource extraction on Discát are often fraught with difficulty, and interactions with the native population are carefully managed by galactic authorities.
