Zorgan

Zorgan is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda galaxy. It is known for its arid, desert-like environment with sparse vegetation and a thin atmosphere. The planet's surface is characterized by vast sand dunes, rocky canyons, and occasional oases. The dominant species on Zorgan are the Zorgonians, a sentient reptilian race. Zorgonians are adapted to survive in extreme heat and arid conditions, possessing tough, scaly skin and a unique respiratory system that allows them to extract moisture from the air.

The Zorgonian civilization is technologically advanced, with a focus on sustainable energy and water conservation. Their cities are typically built underground or within natural cave systems to escape the harsh surface temperatures. Zorgonian society is organized into a council of elders who govern with a focus on communal well-being and resource management. They are known for their stoic nature and their deep respect for their ancestral traditions.

Zorgan's economy is primarily based on mining rare minerals found beneath its surface and on the cultivation of hardy desert crops in controlled environments. The planet's unique geological formations and ancient ruins attract some interstellar tourism, though travel to Zorgan is regulated to protect its delicate ecosystem and cultural heritage. While generally peaceful, Zorgan has a history of territorial disputes with neighboring systems over access to vital resources.
