Kithrup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kithrup is a fictional planet orbiting fictional star Kthsemenee in David Brin's Uplift Universe. There is an anomaly here: even though Kthsemenee is a small orange Population II star, Kithrup is rich in heavy metals. The dolphin-crewed starship Streaker tried to hide in Kithrup's oceans, as told in the book Startide Rising.

Kithrup is an uncharted water world because dolphins are the main characters. In the beginning of Startide Rising the ship Streaker lands on this planet to hide and make some repairs. But in the meantime, the aliens find them and ruin their plan of hiding.
