forduljanak

Frodjanak is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "Beyond the Fringes of Orion" by author Elara Vance. The planet is characterized by its unusual atmospheric composition, which gives its skies a perpetual emerald hue. Frodjanak's surface is predominantly covered by vast, crystalline deserts that shimmer under the light of its binary suns, Solara and Lunaris. These deserts are interspersed with deep canyons where unique flora adapted to extreme temperature fluctuations thrives.

The indigenous species of Frodjanak, known as the Lumina, are silicon-based lifeforms. They possess a bioluminescent quality and communicate through intricate light patterns. The Lumina are known for their advanced understanding of geomancy, a practice involving the manipulation of planetary energies. They live in subterranean cities carved into the planet's crust, designed to shield them from the harsh surface conditions.

Frodjanak's ecosystem is fragile, relying on a delicate balance of solar radiation and underground geothermal activity. The planet has recently become a point of interest for off-world mining corporations seeking rare minerals found within its crystalline structures. This presence has created tension with the Lumina, who view the extraction of these minerals as a violation of their sacred lands. The novel explores the Lumina's struggle to protect their home and the ethical implications of interstellar resource exploitation.
