Athlones

Athlones is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are a bipedal, humanoid race with a distinct physiological makeup adapted to Xylos's unique atmospheric conditions. Their skin is a pale, iridescent blue, capable of subtle color shifts for communication and camouflage. Athlones possess four eyes, arranged in a diamond pattern, granting them a wider field of vision and enhanced depth perception. Their skeletal structure is lighter than that of many other known species, allowing for greater agility.

The Athlones society is characterized by a strong emphasis on communal living and intellectual pursuits. They are known for their advanced understanding of astrophysics and energy manipulation. Their cities, built using bio-luminescent materials, are integrated seamlessly with the natural Xylosian landscape. Historically, the Athlones have maintained a peaceful stance, prioritizing exploration and scientific discovery over conflict. They have had limited but generally positive interactions with other spacefaring civilizations, often sharing knowledge and technological insights. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich flora found on Xylos. Reproduction is a complex process involving a gestation period of approximately two Xylosian cycles.
