Valendrans

Valendra is a planet with twin suns. The exact location is not specified, though Valendra and some of its natives are introduced in Hunting Cari. Valendrans are one of many beast species.

Government
Valendra is governed by an 11 person Council of Elders.

Citizens
The citizens of Valendra are known as Valendrans.

Animals and Insects
Valendra is home to a sentient feline species known as a Sibiox, though they were considered dangerous and were often hunted and killed until it is revealed they can speak at the end of Hunting Cari.

Valendra also has an insect known as a Sutak bug, which is the size of an ant.

Land forms
Little is known about the topography of Valendra, but one of its most prominent mountain ranges is in the province of Calardian, and Valendra's largest sea is the Busarianna. It's comparable in size to combining all of the oceans on earth.

History
In Hunting Cari, it is learned that Valendra was in serious need of females, as a girl had not been born in more than 300 years. A diplomatic mission to an unnamed sentient world to discuss trade exposed the diplomatic party to an unknown virus, and it spread quickly on Valendra, infecting each person. Half the women became barren, and the remaining women bore only sons. Centuries of work by scientists from both Valendra and the other planet had been unable to reserve the effects of the virus. The lack of females is solved somewhat when the survivors from the failed outpost are discovered on earth, though the women are Valendran-human hybrids.

Plants
The rarest plant on Valendra is a hyperian blood rose. They grow singularly, can't be transplanted, and the flowers are created only by the Sibiox. The Sibiox create the flowers by eating certain fruits that contain the blood rose seed. Those seeds are shed via Sibiox feces and sometimes grow into the rose. The flowers produce a scent that helps lessen emotional pain. The blood rose is first mentioned in True Traitor when the Sibiox bring them to Grai T'Alq and Traze T'Alq who believe their brother, Koda T'Alq died in a battle with US military shadow operations.
