Turvalian

Turvalian is a fictional planet within the fictional universe of the Xylosian Federation. It is known for its rich biodiversity and unique geological formations. The planet's atmosphere is breathable for most carbon-based lifeforms, though it contains a higher concentration of argon than Earth. Turvalian's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline forests that shimmer under the light of its twin suns, and deep, cavernous valleys carved by ancient glacial activity.

The dominant sentient species native to Turvalian are the K'tharr, a reptilian species known for their intricate societal structures and advanced bio-engineering capabilities. The K'tharr have developed a symbiotic relationship with the planet's flora, utilizing bioluminescent plants for illumination and energy. Their settlements are often integrated seamlessly into the natural landscape, utilizing natural caves and rock formations.

Turvalian's economy is primarily based on the export of rare minerals and bio-engineered compounds. The planet is also a popular destination for intergalactic tourism due to its stunning natural beauty and the opportunity to observe the unique K'tharr culture. However, the Xylosian Federation maintains strict regulations on off-world interference to protect Turvalian's delicate ecosystem and the K'tharr way of life. Exploration beyond designated tourist zones is heavily restricted.
