Kriovia

Kriovia is a fictional planet within the fictional Starfinder Roleplaying Game setting. It is located in the Pact Worlds system, orbiting the star commonly known as Absalom Station's sun. Kriovia is known for its extremely harsh environment, characterized by its frigid temperatures and constant, biting winds. The planet is largely covered in ice sheets and glaciers, with only a few scattered, geothermally heated pockets where life can eke out an existence.

The native inhabitants of Kriovia are a hardy, resilient species adapted to the extreme cold. They are often depicted as tribal and nomadic, relying on hunting hardy arctic fauna for survival. Due to the planet's inhospitable nature, Kriovia is not a major hub of interstellar activity. However, its unique resources, such as rare minerals found within its ice formations, have attracted some mining operations and scientific expeditions. These ventures are often fraught with danger, not only from the environment but also from the wary native populations who protect their ancestral lands. The planet's isolation and challenging conditions make it a place of interest for those seeking rare resources or studying extreme survival.
