Nimeldist

Nimeldist is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires that reach into the atmosphere. These spires are composed of a rare mineral with luminescent properties, causing the planet to glow softly at night. The surface of Nimeldist is largely arid, with vast deserts interspersed with deep canyons.

The dominant life form on Nimeldist is the K'tharr, a silicon-based species that has adapted to the planet's harsh environment. K'tharr are known for their advanced understanding of crystal manipulation and energy transference. They live in subterranean cities, utilizing the planet's internal heat for survival. Their society is organized into guilds, each specializing in a particular aspect of crystal technology.

Nimeldist's atmosphere is thin and rich in noble gases, which contribute to the luminescent effects of the crystal spires. While the planet lacks liquid water on its surface, K'tharr have discovered methods to extract moisture from atmospheric compounds. The planet orbits a binary star system, resulting in complex and often unpredictable seasonal cycles. Explorations by off-world species are rare due to the planet's remote location and the K'tharr's reclusive nature.
