Velallian

Velallian is a fictional planet within the fictional universe of Starfinder, a tabletop role-playing game. It is described as a tidally locked world orbiting a red dwarf star, resulting in extreme temperature differences between its permanent day side and its permanent night side. The habitable zone is believed to exist in the twilight region between these two extremes.

The surface of Velallian is characterized by a variety of harsh environments. The day side is a scorched, arid wasteland subjected to intense stellar radiation, while the night side is a frozen, desolate expanse. Life, if it exists, is likely adapted to survive in the narrow band of temperate twilight, possibly in subterranean caverns or along the edges of vast ice sheets that recede and advance with the slow atmospheric shifts.

Information about Velallian's native inhabitants, if any, is scarce and largely speculative within the lore. Its role in the broader Starfinder setting is often as a distant, unexplored frontier world, a potential source of rare resources or a refuge for those seeking to escape the more populated systems of the Pact Worlds. Explorers and adventurers may venture to Velallian in search of lost technology, unique biological specimens, or simply the challenge of surviving its unforgiving conditions. Its position in the galaxy and the potential dangers associated with its environment make it a place of mystery and peril.
