Located within the galaxy's Inner Council Space region, Kahje is an ocean planet with 90% of its surface covered in water, only small islands encompass the world's land area. It orbits an energetic white star, which results in a permanent blanket of clouds.It is the homeworld of the hanar, a race resembling Earth jellyfish, and the home to most surviving drell and is protected by a largely automated planetary defense network. The atmosphere is perfect for life; while containing some traces of ammonia, it consists of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, giving it an Earth-like atmosphere. The climate has also proved too humid for the drell, and they have found it more tolerable to live in climate-controlled domed cities. The vast worldwide ocean is known as the Encompassing. Kahje is also dotted with Prothean ruins, which has shaped the religion and society of the hanar. Mount Vassla, an underwater volcano, is at the heart of one of the largest Prothean ruins on Kahje.
