Virtually all types of Cir-cen have a tough outer protective skin that can be penetrated only by laser or a sharp knife. This skin shields the plant from the worst ravages of heat and is often covered by thorns or spines to protect it from animals. The interior layers store water sufficient for a grown Vulcan to survive on for days which is why the Cir-cen has become known as the deset-travelers best friend. Hardy and able to take root on seemingly any surface, batches of Cir-cen may well sprout in a well tended garden as well as the solid walls surrounding it. | Virtually all types of Cir-cen have a tough outer protective skin that can be penetrated only by laser or a sharp knife.

These squat cactus-like plants are found all across the equatorial dunes and ergs of Xial and Go'an to the gravel flats north of Nal'shin as well as any stretch of desert where even the smallest source of water is available, even if it is merely a few drops of dew.
