Sturnesk is a fluidic hellworld of sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.
• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Zylosic Subsector of Serenity Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
