Parsma

Parsma is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda galaxy. It is known for its arid climate and vast desert landscapes, with sparse vegetation adapted to survive extreme temperatures. The planet's atmosphere is thin and rich in nitrogen, with trace amounts of oxygen.

The dominant sentient species on Parsma are the K'tharr, a reptilian race with tough, scaled skin and a heightened sense of smell. They are a nomadic people, traditionally living in small, interconnected tribes that traverse the deserts in search of water sources and edible flora. Their society is structured around a strong communal bond and a deep respect for their elders, who hold the collective knowledge of the K'tharr.

Parsma's surface is dotted with ancient ruins, remnants of a long-lost civilization whose technological advancements are still a mystery. These ruins often contain intricate carvings and strange artifacts, hinting at a complex history and a possible connection to other celestial bodies. The K'tharr revere these sites, believing them to be sacred ground.

The planet orbits a binary star system, resulting in unpredictable diurnal cycles and periods of intense solar radiation. This has heavily influenced the evolution of both Parsma's flora and fauna, leading to unique adaptations such as bioluminescent plants that store energy during daylight hours and nocturnal creatures that thrive in the cooler, star-lit nights.
