Khut was a planet located in the space of the galaxy's Beta Quadrant, located in the 43 Pavonis star system. With a hot climate, Khut was a mountainous world, with jutting continents washed by thick seas of hydrocarbon and liquid plastic. The chemical soup is the habitat for lifeforms, including the native a'Khut civilization. Khut issued a number of planetary distress calls in the late 23rd century, breaking a long period of reclusion. (TOS video game: The Kobayashi Alternative)
