Aralid

Aralid is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Starfall universe. They are an insectoid race characterized by their segmented bodies, multiple limbs, and a hard exoskeleton. Aralids possess compound eyes, allowing for a wide field of vision, and communicate through a combination of chirps, clicks, and pheromonal signals.

Their society is highly structured and communal, with individuals serving specific roles within a hive-like collective. While generally peaceful, Aralids can be fiercely protective of their home world and their kin. Their technology is bio-integrated, meaning they have developed advanced organic machinery and living starships.

Aralids are known for their meticulous attention to detail and their long-term planning capabilities. They possess a deep understanding of xenobotany and have cultivated unique flora on Xylos for sustenance and technological purposes. Their historical records suggest a long and relatively uneventful existence until increased contact with other galactic civilizations. This has led to a period of adaptation and learning for the Aralid species as they navigate the complexities of interspecies relations.
