Kerdnian

Kerdnian is a fictional planet within the fictional universe of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. It is primarily known as the homeworld of the Kerdni race, a sapient species characterized by their hardy nature and affinity for extreme environments. The planet's surface is a rugged and diverse landscape, featuring vast deserts, treacherous mountain ranges, and volatile volcanic regions. Kerdnian's atmosphere is thin and often harsh, presenting significant challenges for non-native life forms.

The Kerdni have adapted to these demanding conditions, developing physical resilience and a culture that values endurance and self-reliance. Their settlements are typically built to withstand the planet's environmental extremes, often carved into mountainsides or constructed deep underground to escape the surface temperatures and atmospheric fluctuations. Technology on Kerdnian has evolved to support these survival needs, with a focus on robust engineering and resource management.

Interactions between the Kerdni and other galactic civilizations are varied. While some Kerdni remain isolated on their homeworld, many have ventured out, driven by trade, exploration, or necessity. Their unique physiology and cultural background often make them distinct figures in the wider galaxy. The exact details of Kerdnian's geological history and the full extent of its biodiversity are subjects of ongoing exploration within the Starfinder setting.
