mwog

Mwog is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "Starfall" by author Anya Sharma. The planet is described as a terrestrial world with a breathable atmosphere, though its composition includes a higher concentration of inert gases than Earth's, giving the sky a distinctive, pale violet hue. Mwog is known for its unique flora, which primarily consists of bioluminescent fungi and silicon-based plant life that thrives in the planet's mineral-rich soil. The fauna is equally alien, with many species adapted to the planet's lower gravity and arid climate.

The dominant sentient species on Mwog are the K'tharr, a reptilian humanoid race. They are characterized by their six limbs, tough, scaled hides, and a complex social structure based on telepathic communication. The K'tharr have developed a rudimentary but effective technology, focusing on bio-engineering and energy manipulation derived from the planet's natural resources. Their cities are often carved directly into the planet's massive rock formations, blending seamlessly with the environment. Mwog's surface is dotted with ancient ruins of an unknown precursor civilization, hinting at a deeper history. The planet's primary export is a rare crystalline substance known as "Lumite," highly valued for its energy-conducting properties.
