Ktharr

Ktharr is a fictional planet within the fictional Starfinder Roleplaying Game setting. It is a world characterized by its harsh desert environment and its prominent role as a hub for interstellar trade and mercenary activity. The planet's surface is dominated by vast sand seas, punctuated by rocky mesas and deep canyons. Life on Ktharr has adapted to survive extreme temperatures and scarce water resources.

The primary inhabitants of Ktharr are known as the Ktharrans, a hardy, reptilian species with a strong tribal culture. They are known for their resilience and their deep understanding of survival in the unforgiving landscape. Ktharr also hosts a significant population of various alien species, drawn to its strategic location and its reputation as a place where business, often of a less-than-legal nature, can be conducted with relative freedom.

The planet's economy is largely driven by mining operations, extracting valuable minerals from beneath the sands, and by its role as a neutral ground for trading goods and services. Due to its lawless reputation, Ktharr is a popular recruitment ground for mercenaries and bounty hunters. Various factions and syndicates operate on the planet, vying for control of trade routes and valuable resources, leading to a constant undercurrent of conflict and intrigue. Despite its dangers, Ktharr remains a vital, albeit volatile, nexus in the charted space.
