szárd

Szórd is a fictional celestial body within the Starfinder roleplaying game setting. It is a planet located in the system of the star Veridian, which is situated in the galaxy's Inner Sphere. Szórd is characterized by its perpetually stormy atmosphere, with violent electrical discharges and high winds being a constant feature. The surface is largely barren and rocky, with limited vegetation adapted to the harsh conditions.

The primary inhabitants of Szórd are a hardy species known as the Kalo, who have developed advanced technologies to survive the planet's volatile environment. They live in heavily fortified underground cities or in mobile, shielded habitats that can withstand the planet's atmospheric fury. Kalo society is known for its pragmatic and resilient nature, with a strong emphasis on engineering and survival.

Szórd is of interest to off-worlders primarily for its unique mineral deposits, particularly those with electrical conductivity properties, and for the rare, storm-resistant flora that can be harvested for medicinal or alchemical purposes. However, the extreme weather conditions make exploration and resource extraction challenging and dangerous, often requiring specialized equipment and extensive preparation. Despite these difficulties, the allure of Szórd's resources continues to draw adventurers and corporations to its turbulent skies.
