“Not only did Ysikary and Evenatra resist that wisdom, they did so against my beseeching. They relocated a functional fragment of an entire ecosystem on the whim of misguided empathy.

Nekenalos is a planet from the Upsilon Andromedae system. Its name stems from the word neken (best approximated in meaning by dinosaur) and losa (planet).
Collectively, its two sapient species are called nyaqena amongst Thraedwielders. Separately, they are known as Nayabaru (a herbivorous sapient culture related to Cretaceous iguanodonts) and the kavkema (a carnivorous sapient culture related to Cretaceous Deinonychosaurs).
