Klendathu is the homeworld of the Arachnids. It is located in the Klendathu System.

The planet orbits a twin star system; one blue and one yellow. It has two moons and borders an asteroid belt that has an unlimited surplus of asteroids that are presumably the remains of Klendathu's twin world. The surface of the planet contains a breathable atmosphere but is arid and extremely mountainous.

• In Starship Troopers: The Miniatures Game, there were just over 300,000 Mobile Infantry deployed to the planet's surface, which would mean the losses were near total. This is conjecture however, as the game attempts to reconcile the novel, Roughnecks TV series, and movies into one cohesive and completely separate universe by borrowing elements from each.
