Lorrd

Lorrd is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. It is described as a world inhabited by intelligent Martians who, facing the eventual cooling and death of their own planet, launch an invasion of Earth. The Martians are depicted as highly advanced beings with sophisticated technology, including towering tripods and heat rays.

In the narrative, Earth is seen as a ripe target for colonization by the Lorrds due to its habitable conditions and abundant resources. The invasion of Earth by these beings from Lorrd is the central conflict of the story, showcasing humanity's struggle for survival against a technologically superior alien force. The planet Lorrd itself serves as a conceptual backdrop, emphasizing the desperate circumstances that drive the Martian invasion. The descriptions of Lorrd are minimal, focusing more on the motivations and capabilities of its inhabitants rather than the specifics of the planet's environment. The concept of Lorrd highlights the classic science fiction theme of interplanetary conflict and the potential consequences of resource scarcity on an alien world.
