Aionidass

Aionidass is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Kepler-186 system. Described in various speculative works, they are often depicted as silicon-based lifeforms, a departure from the carbon-based biology common to Earth. Their physical characteristics are varied in fictional portrayals, but a recurring theme is their crystalline structure, which allows them to absorb and process ambient energy directly from their environment, particularly solar radiation.

The Aionidass are hypothesized to possess a collective consciousness, communicating through complex resonant frequencies emitted by their crystalline bodies. This allows for rapid information sharing and coordinated action within their species, fostering a highly efficient and communal society. Their lifespan is believed to be exceptionally long, measured in millennia, due to their slow metabolism and regenerative capabilities.

Their homeworld, Xylos, is characterized by extreme geological activity and a harsh atmosphere, conditions to which the Aionidass are uniquely adapted. They are often portrayed as ancient and technologically advanced, having developed sophisticated methods of energy manipulation and terraforming. Due to their unique biology and environmental needs, Aionidass are rarely depicted engaging in direct conflict, preferring observation and long-term strategic planning. Their motivations in fictional narratives often revolve around the preservation of their species and the understanding of universal energies.
