Lasgran

Lasgran is a fictional planet located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. It is characterized by its arid surface, dominated by vast deserts and rocky plateaus. The atmosphere is thin and primarily composed of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of oxygen. Due to the planet's proximity to a yellow dwarf star, temperatures on Lasgran fluctuate significantly between day and night.

Life on Lasgran has adapted to these harsh conditions. The dominant flora consists of hardy, low-lying succulents and deep-rooted shrubs capable of extracting moisture from the sparse underground water reserves. Fauna includes small, burrowing creatures and resilient insectoids that are active during the cooler periods of the day or night. Larger predators are rare, typically nocturnal hunters with keen senses.

The planet's geology is marked by ancient volcanic activity, evidenced by extensive lava flows and mineral-rich formations. It is believed that Lasgran once possessed a thicker atmosphere and more abundant water, but geological and astronomical factors led to its current state. Evidence of past water erosion can be seen in canyons and dry riverbeds that crisscross the landscape.

Exploration of Lasgran by off-world species has been limited due to its challenging environment and lack of readily accessible resources. However, its unique geological composition and the resilience of its lifeforms make it a subject of scientific interest for xenobiologists and geologists studying planetary evolution in extreme conditions. No known intelligent civilizations currently inhabit Lasgran.
