Forvos

Forvos is a fictional planet located in the Andromedan galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires and vast underground caverns. The planet's atmosphere is rich in a rare gas that gives the sky a perpetual violet hue.

The dominant intelligent species on Forvos are the K'tharr, a silicon-based lifeform. The K'tharr are known for their advanced technological capabilities, particularly in the fields of energy manipulation and interdimensional travel. They have a communal society, with decisions made through a collective consciousness. Their physical appearance is insectoid, with multiple limbs and a hard exoskeleton.

Forvos's ecosystem is adapted to the planet's harsh conditions. Flora consists primarily of phosphorescent fungi and crystalline plants that draw energy directly from geothermal vents. Fauna includes subterranean creatures that navigate the caverns and flying organisms that subsist on atmospheric particles.

The planet's primary economic resource is a mineral known as 'lumina', a crystalline substance that stores and emits vast amounts of energy. This mineral is highly sought after by other civilizations for its power-generating properties. Forvos maintains a policy of strict neutrality in galactic affairs, focusing on scientific advancement and internal development.
