Taranor

Taranor is a planet located in the Inner Ring sector of the galaxy. It is a terrestrial world with a predominantly temperate climate, characterized by vast oceans and a single large supercontinent. The planet's atmosphere is breathable for most known sentient species, though it contains a higher than average concentration of noble gases.

The indigenous intelligent life on Taranor are the Taranori, a species known for their advanced bio-engineering capabilities and their deep connection to the planet's natural ecosystem. They have developed sophisticated technologies that are largely organic in nature, integrating seamlessly with the environment. Their society is organized into city-states, each with a unique specialization in ecological management and bio-resource development.

Taranor is rich in unique flora and fauna, many of which possess remarkable properties utilized by the Taranori. The planet's geological activity is moderate, with volcanic regions primarily confined to specific oceanic trenches. The Taranori have established a symbiotic relationship with their homeworld, focusing on sustainable practices and maintaining the delicate balance of their biosphere.

Exploration of Taranor by off-world civilizations has been limited, largely due to the Taranori's preference for isolation and their ability to subtly deter unwanted intrusion. Those who have interacted with the Taranori generally describe them as peaceful and wise, though fiercely protective of their home. The planet's strategic location has made it a subject of interest, but its formidable natural defenses and the Taranori's own security measures have ensured its continued autonomy.
