Zordaras

Zordaras is a fictional planet within the fictional universe of the Xylosian Confederacy. It is characterized by its twin suns, which provide a unique and often harsh environment for its native flora and fauna. The planet's atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and methane, giving its skies a perpetual twilight hue. Zordaras is known for its vast, crystalline deserts, where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically between its two solar cycles.

The dominant intelligent species of Zordaras are the K'tharr, a reptilian race known for their stoicism and advanced technological capabilities, particularly in the fields of terraforming and energy manipulation. Their society is structured around a complex caste system, with each caste fulfilling a specific role essential to the survival and prosperity of their civilization. The K'tharr have a long-standing, albeit sometimes strained, relationship with other member worlds of the Xylosian Confederacy, primarily due to differing philosophies on resource allocation and intergalactic policy.

Zordaras itself is rich in rare mineral deposits, making it a valuable asset to the Confederacy. However, the planet's extreme environmental conditions have historically limited extensive colonization efforts by other species. Research stations and a few heavily fortified K'tharr settlements are the primary points of contact for off-world visitors. The planet's unique geological formations and its unusual ecosystem continue to be subjects of scientific interest.
