Kaltm

Kaltm is a fictional planet within the science fiction universe of "Starfall Legacy." It is primarily known for its extremely low surface temperatures and the hardy, resilient life forms that have adapted to its harsh environment. The planet orbits a dim, red dwarf star, contributing to its perpetually frigid conditions.

The surface of Kaltm is characterized by vast glaciers, ice plains, and frozen seas. Atmospheric composition includes a high concentration of nitrogen and methane, which, combined with the low temperatures, create a dense, frigid atmosphere. Due to the limited solar radiation, light on Kaltm is scarce, casting long shadows and giving the planet an often somber appearance.

Despite its inhospitable nature, Kaltm supports a unique ecosystem. Indigenous flora consists of cryophilic organisms, often possessing bioluminescent properties to attract scarce nutrients or for communication in the dim light. Fauna includes creatures with thick insulation, slow metabolisms, and adaptations for burrowing beneath the ice. These species have evolved to survive extreme cold and minimal resources.

Kaltm has been explored by various interstellar factions, primarily for its rare mineral deposits, which are often found deep beneath the ice sheets. However, the extreme conditions make sustained habitation and resource extraction challenging and costly. The planet remains a frontier world, holding both scientific interest and potential economic value for those willing to brave its frozen domain.
