Andeilta

Andeilta is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations and a biosphere that has adapted to extreme conditions. The planet's surface is characterized by vast crystalline deserts and deep, geothermally active canyons. The atmosphere is thin and rich in certain noble gases, which contribute to unusual light phenomena, particularly during the planet's dual-sunsets.

Life on Andeilta primarily exists in subsurface ecosystems and around hydrothermal vents. These organisms are often chemotrophic, deriving energy from inorganic compounds rather than sunlight. Initial surveys suggest a complex food web, with microbial life forming the base and more complex, resilient organisms occupying higher trophic levels. These life forms exhibit adaptations such as extreme temperature tolerance and specialized metabolic pathways.

The planet's orbit around its binary star system creates significant temperature fluctuations. However, the presence of a global subterranean ocean, heated by the planet's core, provides a stable environment for life. Research into Andeilta's biology and geology is ongoing, with scientists hoping to understand the potential for life in similarly extreme environments beyond Earth. The planet has not yet been visited by sentient species, and its exact location within Andromeda is a subject of ongoing astronomical observation.
