Almandiins

Almandiins are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Orion Nebula. They are a silicon-based life form, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and a unique method of communication through resonant frequencies. Physically, almandiins are bipedal, standing on average two meters tall. Their bodies are composed of various interlocking mineral structures, giving them a multifaceted appearance. They possess no discernible external sensory organs in the human sense, instead perceiving their environment through vibrations and subtle shifts in electromagnetic fields.

The almandiin society is structured around communal living and a deep connection to their planet's geological processes. They do not have a concept of individual ownership, with all resources and knowledge shared amongst the collective. Their technology is primarily bio-integrated, grown rather than manufactured, and often utilizes the natural energy flows of Xylos. Historically, the almandiins have maintained a peaceful existence, largely isolated from intergalactic affairs. Their primary focus is on understanding the fundamental forces of the universe and achieving a state of cosmic harmony. Encounters with other species have been rare, and their interactions are typically cautious and analytical.
