Autrokian

Autrokian is a fictional planet within the Andromeda galaxy, notable for its unique geological and atmospheric composition. Its surface is characterized by vast, crystalline plains that refract sunlight in a spectrum of iridescent colors, creating a visually striking landscape. The planet's atmosphere is rich in argon and neon, giving the sky a perpetual twilight hue.

The indigenous flora of Autrokian is silicon-based, adapting to the planet's mineral-heavy soil and extreme temperature fluctuations. These plants often exhibit bioluminescent properties, particularly during the planet's long, slow rotation cycles. Fauna is scarce, with only a few hardy species known to exist, primarily subterranean or adapted to the planet's harsh atmospheric conditions.

Autrokian's geological activity is primarily driven by slow-moving tectonic plates and periodic meteor showers, which have shaped its surface over millennia. The planet possesses a weak magnetic field, offering little protection from stellar radiation. Despite these challenges, Autrokian remains a subject of scientific interest due to its unusual chemistry and potential for novel extremophile life. Exploratory missions have focused on studying its mineral resources and atmospheric phenomena.
