Donbos

Donbos is a fictional planet located in the fictional Andromeda sector of the Andromeda Galaxy. It is primarily known for its vast, crystalline deserts and the unique bioluminescent flora that thrives in its harsh environment. The planet orbits a binary star system, resulting in unpredictable and extreme temperature fluctuations. Life on Donbos is adapted to these conditions, with many species exhibiting dormancy periods or possessing advanced thermoregulation abilities.

The dominant sentient species on Donbos are the K'tharr, a silicon-based lifeform characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and their ability to communicate through resonant frequencies. The K'tharr civilization is ancient, with a society structured around communal harmony and a deep understanding of geological processes. Their technology is intricately linked with the planet's natural resources, particularly the abundant crystalline formations. They are known for their intricate subterranean cities and their mastery of energy manipulation derived from geothermal sources.

Exploration of Donbos by off-world species is limited due to the planet's remote location and challenging environmental conditions. However, its unique mineral deposits and the K'tharr's advanced knowledge have made it a subject of interest for scientific and resource-gathering expeditions, though interactions have historically been cautious and respectful of the K'tharr's traditions and the planet's delicate ecosystem.
