Arvelis

Arvelis is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Last Starfarer" by Elara Vance. It is described as a terrestrial world orbiting a binary star system, resulting in a unique diurnal cycle and varied climate zones. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, bioluminescent forests and deep, crystalline oceans.

The dominant sentient species on Arvelis is the Lumina, a technologically advanced but pacifistic race. The Lumina are known for their ability to communicate telepathically and their deep connection to the planet's ecosystem. Their cities are seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape, utilizing bio-engineered structures and sustainable energy sources.

Arvelis is a planet of significant importance in "The Last Starfarer" due to its rare mineral deposits, sought after for their unique energetic properties. These resources have made Arvelis a focal point of interstellar trade and, at times, conflict. The narrative explores the Lumina's efforts to protect their world from exploitation while navigating complex galactic politics. The planet's natural beauty and the Lumina's harmonious existence serve as a contrast to the more volatile elements of the interstellar community.
