Krungar

Krungar is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires that pierce the planet's atmosphere. These spires are believed to be formed from a rare mineral that reacts with the planet's atmospheric composition. The planet's surface is largely arid, with vast deserts interspersed with subterranean rivers that sustain a limited form of indigenous flora.

The native inhabitants of Krungar, the K'tharr, are a silicon-based lifeform. They are known for their advanced understanding of crystallography and energy manipulation, which they utilize to sustain their civilization within the harsh environment. The K'tharr have developed a complex social structure centered around communal energy harvesting from the planet's natural crystal formations. Their settlements are typically carved into the base of the largest crystal spires, providing shelter and access to resources.

Krungar's atmosphere is thin and rich in inert gases, making it unsuitable for most oxygen-breathing lifeforms without specialized equipment. The planet experiences extreme temperature fluctuations between its day and night cycles. Despite these challenges, Krungar has attracted the attention of various interstellar organizations due to the unique properties of its crystalline resources, which are highly sought after for advanced technological applications. Exploration of Krungar is carefully regulated to protect both the environment and the K'tharr civilization.
