Tolsuse

Tolsuse is a fictional planet within the fictional Starfall galaxy, featured in the "Starfall Chronicles" series of science fiction novels. The planet is primarily depicted as a harsh, arid world with a thin atmosphere and extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night. Its surface is characterized by vast deserts, rocky canyons, and scattered, resilient flora adapted to the arid conditions.

The native inhabitants of Tolsuse are known as the Kryll. They are a sentient species described as being reptilian in appearance, with tough, scaly skin and a natural resistance to extreme heat. The Kryll are a nomadic people, organized into tribes that traverse the planet in search of scarce resources, particularly water sources. Their society is structured around survival and a deep spiritual connection to their planet.

Tolsuse plays a significant role in the "Starfall Chronicles" as a strategic location due to its rich deposits of a rare mineral, known as Lumina ore, essential for advanced interstellar technology. This has made the planet a point of contention between various interstellar factions seeking to control its resources. The harsh environment and the territorial nature of the Kryll present considerable challenges to any off-world presence. The novels detail the struggles of protagonists to navigate the planet's dangers and the complex political landscape surrounding Lumina ore.
