Zalenn

Zalenn is a fictional celestial body featured in the "Starfinder" tabletop role-playing game. It is a planet located in the Pact Worlds system, a common setting for the game. Zalenn is characterized by its extreme environment, primarily being a gas giant with a highly volatile atmosphere. This makes it largely uninhabitable by most common species, although some hardy life forms and specialized outposts are said to exist on its larger moons or within specially constructed orbital stations. The planet's dense atmosphere is rich in exotic gases and prone to violent storms, making direct exploration of its upper layers a dangerous undertaking.

Little is known about the core of Zalenn, as its immense pressure and turbulent conditions prevent deep probes. However, its gravitational influence significantly affects the orbits of other celestial bodies within the Pact Worlds. Various factions and organizations within the Starfinder universe have expressed interest in Zalenn, primarily for its potential to yield rare resources or as a strategic location. Research outposts, often heavily defended, are sometimes established in orbit or on its more stable moons to study its unique atmospheric phenomena or to exploit its potential for valuable gas harvesting. The planet's mystique and inherent danger contribute to its role as a point of interest for adventure and exploration within the game's lore.
