Tigella
Tigella was a jungle planet in the Prion system that neighbored Zolfa-Thura. Native flora included the carnivorous Bell Plants.
It was inhabited by the humanoid white-haired Tigellans, who utilized the Dodecahedron as a power source. The structure of Tigellan society was based on two castes: the scientific Savants led by Deedrix, and the religiously fanatical Deons led by Lexa, who worshipped the god Ti.
