Tengdar

Tengdar is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations and diverse ecosystem. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline deserts and towering, bioluminescent flora. These plants, which emit a soft, ethereal glow, are a primary source of illumination during Tengdar's long twilight periods.

The atmosphere of Tengdar is rich in nitrogen and a trace amount of an unknown gas that contributes to the planet's distinctive atmospheric phenomena, including shimmering auroras that are visible even during daylight hours. The planet experiences a moderate gravitational pull, slightly less than Earth's, which has influenced the evolution of its indigenous lifeforms.

Tengdar is home to a variety of creatures, most notably the "Silken Striders," large, insectoid beings that navigate the deserts with remarkable agility. The planet also supports a complex network of subterranean fungal forests, which are believed to be a vital component of its ecological balance.

Human exploration of Tengdar has been limited due to its extreme environmental conditions and the presence of complex indigenous life. While no permanent settlements have been established, scientific expeditions have been conducted to study its geology, biology, and atmospheric composition. Research suggests that Tengdar may hold clues to understanding unique evolutionary pathways and atmospheric processes.
