Kethorian

Kethorian is a fictional planet within the fictional universe of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. It is located in the Absalom Station sector, a region known for its diverse inhabitants and bustling spaceports. Kethorian is characterized by its arid climate and vast deserts, interspersed with hardy scrublands and rocky outcrops. The planet's atmosphere is thin but breathable for most common species.

The primary inhabitants of Kethorian are the Kethori, a resilient species known for their nomadic lifestyle and deep connection to the harsh environment. They are adapted to survive extreme temperatures and scarce resources, often forming small, self-sufficient tribes. Kethori culture emphasizes community, survival skills, and a spiritual reverence for the natural world, particularly the planet's ancient celestial bodies.

Economically, Kethorian is known for its valuable mineral deposits, particularly rare crystals and metals that are highly sought after by off-world corporations. This has led to limited but significant industrial and mining operations on the planet, often in tense coexistence with the indigenous Kethori. Despite its resource wealth, much of Kethorian remains undeveloped and unexplored, holding mysteries and dangers for those who venture into its untamed territories. The planet's unique flora and fauna have also attracted the attention of xenobiologists and adventurers alike.
