Karrath

Karrath is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction franchise Stargate. It is a desert world inhabited by a species known as the Karrathi, a nomadic people known for their warrior culture and advanced technology. The Karrathi are a formidable race who have clashed with the Goa'uld System Lords on numerous occasions.

The Karrathi are tall, slender beings with tough, leathery skin that helps them survive the harsh desert environment of their homeworld. They have distinctive cranial ridges and large, dark eyes that are adapted to low-light conditions. Their society is structured around clans, with each clan led by a chieftain. Valor and honor are highly prized among the Karrathi, and they are known for their skill in combat, particularly with their energy-based weaponry.

Karrath itself is a planet characterized by vast sand seas, rocky canyons, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Water is a scarce resource, and the Karrathi have developed sophisticated methods for its conservation and extraction. Their cities and settlements are often built underground or within canyons to provide shelter from the elements and potential attackers. The Karrathi are also known to possess advanced stargate technology, allowing them to travel to other worlds within the galaxy. Their interactions with the Tau'ri, the human inhabitants of Earth, have been varied, sometimes involving conflict and at other times cooperation against common enemies.
