Mutsk

Mutsk is a fictional planet located in the fictional Xylos star system, approximately 500 light-years from Earth. It is a terrestrial world, slightly larger than Earth, with a dense atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, along with trace amounts of argon and methane. The planet's surface is characterized by vast oceans covering approximately 70% of its surface, interspersed with large continental landmasses.

The climate of Mutsk varies significantly between its equatorial and polar regions. The equatorial zones experience consistently warm temperatures and high humidity, supporting lush, tropical vegetation. Mid-latitude regions have a more temperate climate with distinct seasons. The polar regions are covered in ice caps, with average temperatures well below freezing. Mutsk has a single, large moon, named Lunara, which influences its tidal patterns.

Life on Mutsk is diverse and has evolved to adapt to the planet's varied environments. The dominant life forms are sentient, silicon-based organisms known as the K'tharr. The K'tharr are known for their advanced technological civilization, which has achieved interstellar travel. Their society is structured around communal living and a deep respect for their planet's ecosystem. Mutsk is a vital hub for intergalactic trade and diplomacy within its sector of the galaxy.
