Lingwa was a murky, humid planet in the Si'Kawan Cluster, on the the Deathrons Space. Its surface featured jungles and swamps, and was home to the reptilian Khatmandu people. It was also the original planet where the garbage eating reptilian Dinoaga evolved, a pest that eventually spread throughout the galaxy. The planet was taken over by the Deathron under the Treaty of Vontor. Under Deathron rule, the Khatmandu elders were allowed to rule Lingwa, but all off-world concerns, such as the infamous Khatmandu Trade Guild, were wholly under Deathron control.
