Gondar-2 is a life-supporting telluric planet in the Rho-HY472 system. The flora of Gondar-2 have long been cataloged by xenobiologists and xenomusicians alike, as the cacti-like plants that flourish on the planet are highly sought after for their unique properties. The 2002 identified species all make a unique sound, quite unlike anything else, if struck, strung, or vibrated. Because of this, they fetch a high price for musicians looking for a new sound, or a scientist looking for something to spice up the lab.

No fauna are known to exist on Gondar-2, although Varix Jhothar’s last communique describes his crew being killed with a substance similar to Regina Apiana cytotoxin by native fauna. This, combined with a long history of unexplained ship disappearances in the Archipelago of the Damned, has resulted in a popular conception of Gondar-2 as cursed.

Gondar-2 is a popular stop on the Candaxx Loop, if merchants are brave enough, to harvest the cacti and Varphorium on the planet.
