Zorgas

Zorgas is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Galactic Chronicle" by author Elara Vance. The planet is depicted as a harsh, arid world located in the outer reaches of the Andromeda galaxy. Its surface is characterized by vast, desolate deserts, towering rock formations, and a thin, oxygen-poor atmosphere.

The dominant life form on Zorgas are the Kryll, a resilient insectoid species. The Kryll have adapted to their extreme environment, possessing thick exoskeletons to protect them from radiation and specialized respiratory organs to survive in the low-oxygen air. They live in subterranean colonies to escape the planet's scorching temperatures and frequent dust storms.

The primary resource of Zorgas is a rare crystalline substance known as Lumina, which possesses unique energy-conducting properties. This valuable mineral has made Zorgas a point of interest for various interstellar factions, leading to occasional conflicts and trade disputes.

The planet's ecosystem, though sparse, includes hardy, drought-resistant flora and small, burrowing fauna. The Zorgasian night sky is often illuminated by the twin moons of Xylos and Nyx, which cast an eerie, shimmering glow across the desert landscape. The inhabitants, the Kryll, are known for their intricate social structures and their deep understanding of the Lumina crystals.
