[[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 (not unlike the human colony world of [[Proteus]]). It is the homeworld of the [[hanar]], a race resembling terran jellyfish, and the home to most surviving [[drell]]. Kahje is also dotted with small [[Prothean]] ruins, which has shaped the religion and society of the hanar. 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 vast worldwide ocean is known as the Encompassing. Kahje has at least one moon, which possess a large crater after a criminal named Jack intentionally crashed a stolen space station into it.

Kahje must be under 1.5 billion years old if its star is class A5, which is equal to 2.1 Solar masses; this is much younger than Earth during the [[wikipedia: Ediacaran|Ediacaran]] period (where Earth's cnidarians diverged from other animals). To get this head-start, Kahje was probably seeded with primitive algae, fungi or even primitive animal DNA from the outside (although not by the Protheans and not necessarily by any sentient visitor).

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 (not unlike the human colony world of Proteus). It is the homeworld of the hanar, a race resembling terran jellyfish, and the home to most surviving drell. Kahje is also dotted with small Prothean ruins, which has shaped the religion and society of the hanar. 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 vast worldwide ocean is known as the Encompassing.

Kahje is the terminus of an Illium-Kahje shipping lane.
