Gavilar is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Xenocide Protocol" by author Alex V. Thorne. The planet is described as a temperate world located in the Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Gavilar is known for its lush, diverse ecosystems, featuring extensive forests, vast oceans, and unique flora and fauna. The atmosphere is breathable for humans, and the gravity is approximately 0.9 times that of Earth.

The dominant sentient species on Gavilar are the Gavilarians, a reptilian humanoid race. They are characterized by their scaled skin, which can vary in color from green to brown, and their advanced but insular society. The Gavilarians have developed a sophisticated understanding of bio-engineering and sustainable living, largely in harmony with their planet's natural resources. Their technology often incorporates organic components and relies heavily on biological processes.

In the narrative of "The Xenocide Protocol," Gavilar becomes a focal point due to its rich biodiversity and its strategic location. The planet is also the site of significant interspecies conflict and scientific discovery, as the human protagonists seek to understand and protect Gavilar from external threats. The novel explores themes of environmentalism, xenophobia, and the ethical implications of advanced technology through the lens of Gavilar and its inhabitants. The planet's unique ecological features and the Gavilarians' distinctive culture are central to the plot.
