Drinar

Drinar is a fictional planet used in science fiction narratives. It is characterized by an archipelagic geography and a temperate climate, features common to many depictions in the genre. The name appears in multiple works, sometimes with varying details, but overlaps include its role as a hub of maritime trade and exploration.

In most continuities, Drinar consists of a loose archipelago surrounding a central sea, with dozens of islands of varying size. The climate supports diverse biomes—from tropical reefs in the south to temperate forests in the north, with rugged highlands inland.

Governance ranges from city-state networks to a loose federation known as the Drinar Confederacy. Common features include a strong maritime economy, a tradition of scientific and navigational skill, and a propensity for decentralized governance.

Key industries include fishing, trade, and mineral extraction, supplemented by biotech and energy technologies. Travel between islands is primarily by ferry networks and air/sea vessels; in some renderings, orbital facilities enable interstellar communication.

Cultural depictions emphasize water, light, and reflection in art and architecture. Languages vary by island, but a lingua franca linking merchants is often used. Drinar serves as a versatile setting for stories exploring exploration, diplomacy, and environmental stewardship.
