Duriss

Duriss is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Dragonriders of Pern" by Anne McCaffrey. It is a celestial body that exists within the Pern universe, a setting characterized by a dragon-like species and the human colonists who coexist with them. Duriss is not a prominent location within the series, but it is mentioned as part of the galactic context. Its significance lies primarily in its existence as one of the many worlds explored or colonized by humanity, a testament to the vastness of the universe within the narrative. Information regarding Duriss's specific characteristics, such as its environment, inhabitants, or history, is limited within the established canon. It serves as a background detail that contributes to the expansive lore of the Pern series, suggesting a wider galactic presence for the human and dragon species beyond the primary focus of the stories.
