sedon

Sedon is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus X-1 system, as depicted in the Starfinder Roleplaying Game setting. It is known for its harsh environment and the resilient lifeforms that have adapted to its extreme conditions. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, arid deserts, treacherous volcanic regions, and jagged mountain ranges. The atmosphere is thin and often filled with abrasive dust storms, making prolonged surface excursions dangerous for unprotected individuals.

Despite its inhospitable nature, Sedon is home to several indigenous species, most notably the Sedonian, a reptilian race renowned for their toughness and resourcefulness. These beings have developed unique biological adaptations to survive the planet's scarcity of water and extreme temperatures. They are known for their tribal societies, often centered around vital oases or geothermal vents.

The planet also attracts off-world interest, primarily for its rich mineral deposits, particularly rare isotopes and valuable gemstones found deep within its crust. Various corporations and independent prospectors venture to Sedon, often clashing with the native Sedonians over resource rights. The volatile political climate and the constant threat of environmental hazards make Sedon a challenging, yet potentially lucrative, destination for those willing to brave its dangers. Its strategic location, however, makes it a point of interest for various galactic factions.
