Korrho

Korrho is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus X-1 system, approximately 6,070 light-years from Earth. It is characterized by its arid, desert-like surface, with vast expanses of sand dunes and rocky outcrops. The planet experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, with scorching hot days and frigid nights. Its atmosphere is thin and composed primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, making it uninhabitable for most known life forms without specialized equipment.

The geology of Korrho is dominated by ancient volcanic activity, evident in the numerous dormant volcanoes and hardened lava flows that scar its landscape. Rare mineral deposits are rumored to exist beneath the surface, attracting various mining expeditions and corporations. Despite its harsh environment, there are theories suggesting the presence of subsurface microbial life adapted to the extreme conditions.

Korrho's orbital path around its host star is highly elliptical, contributing to its dramatic seasonal changes. The planet has a single, small, irregularly shaped moon that influences its weak tidal forces. Due to its remote location and challenging environment, Korrho has been a subject of scientific interest and speculative fiction, often depicted as a frontier world or a source of valuable resources. Exploration efforts have been limited, focusing primarily on remote sensing and robotic probes.
