Venkendoksen

Venkendoksen is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. Its surface is characterized by vast, arid deserts interspersed with deep, labyrinthine canyons. The atmosphere is thin and rich in nitrogen, with trace amounts of oxygen, making it largely unbreathable for most known organic lifeforms.

The indigenous species of Venkendoksen, known as the K'tharr, are a silicon-based lifeform adapted to the planet's harsh conditions. They possess a crystalline exoskeleton and communicate through a complex series of resonant vibrations. The K'tharr are known for their advanced subterranean cities, carved deep into the planet's crust to escape the extreme surface temperatures and radiation.

Little is known about Venkendoksen's history or its specific place within galactic civilization. Encounters with off-world species are rare, primarily due to the planet's remote location and the K'tharr's reclusive nature. The K'tharr are believed to possess a deep understanding of geological processes and energy manipulation, though the extent of their technological capabilities remains largely a subject of speculation. Exploratory missions have reported unusual energy signatures emanating from the planet's core, prompting further scientific interest.
