Virtaks

Virtaks is a fictional planet located in the outer rim of the Xylos galaxy. It is known for its arid climate and unique geological formations, characterized by towering rock spires and deep, sandy canyons. The planet's surface is largely uninhabited, save for small, nomadic tribes who have adapted to survive in the harsh environment. These tribes subsist on hardy, desert-dwelling flora and fauna, and their culture is deeply intertwined with the planet's natural rhythms.

The atmosphere of Virtaks is thin and rich in nitrogen, with a low oxygen content, making it difficult for most off-world species to breathe without specialized equipment. The planet experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, with scorching hot days and frigid nights. Despite these challenges, Virtaks is rumored to possess vast, untapped mineral resources, attracting occasional interest from interstellar mining corporations. However, the planet's remoteness and the resilience of its native inhabitants have so far deterred any large-scale exploitation. Ancient ruins, hinting at a lost civilization, have also been discovered scattered across its surface, adding to the planet's mystique.
