The Glithnos System is one of the seven systems of the Kuat Sector The Glithnos system has no native sentient species. In past millennia, it was colonized by adventurous humans that didn't mind the cold that dominates Glithnos' planets. It holds no particular role of importance in galactic politics, although it did have a representative in the Galactic Senate. The system makes up the Earldom of Glithnos with its Earl Daniel Ascarion.

Melba's Museum of Mischief

Throughout the galaxy, one may find any number of oddities, from unexplained solar phenomena to near-sentient plants and fauna. Yet, one such oddity stands out among the rest. The Glithnos system, being of little importance in the grand scheme of Galactic politics, boasts a small importance to one unassuming 100 year old Bimm named, Melba. If you were to ask Melba how she feels at her age, she'd say she doesn't feel a day over 80 as she approaches her 101st birthday. Bimms are known to live up to 130 years, but for her husband Dak, that may be too long.

Just outside the stars goldilocks zone Glithnos exists in a state of perpetual winter. Rich volcanic activity on the planet heats it to temperatures around the freezing point of water during daylight hours. Its gravity rates at 80% of standard gravity, the planet rotates around its axis in 26 hours and a year consists of 432 local days. No native species have been found above ground, but it is suspected that mammals might exist in the oceans below the ice. Settlers have however introduces several species of animals that are resistant to the cold climate, includes a species of Snow Fox.
Despite its less than ideal climate and atmosphere multiple settlements have formed on the planet, often initially sponsored by industrials seeking natural resources or adventurous souls seeking cheap land. Although relatively poor in minable resources and agricultural potential, Glithnos does have small but growing industry specialised in growing and harvesting minerals that provide a cheap decorative alternative for precious stones and gems. Its central location and climate ability to keep things naturally cooled actually make it a fairly decent place to store wares and use as a distribution center.
Glithnos is the home of the Glithnos Ice Foxes Boloball Team, who play in a newly erected stadium, the Glithnos Ice Dome.
