Bahki

Bahki is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus X-1 star system in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is primarily known for its unique and vibrant ecosystem, characterized by bioluminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the planet's perpetual twilight. The planet's atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and argon, with a lower oxygen content than Earth, making it unsuitable for most terrestrial life forms without augmentation. The surface of Bahki is dominated by vast, shallow oceans and archipelagos of floating islands composed of a dense, porous mineral.

The dominant sentient species on Bahki are the Lumina, a silicon-based lifeform that communicates through complex patterns of light emission and subtle vibrational frequencies. The Lumina have developed a sophisticated society centered around the harmonious integration with their environment. Their technology is bio-integrated, drawing energy directly from the planet's natural processes and utilizing organic materials for construction and tools. They possess a deep understanding of the planet's intricate ecological balance and have maintained it for millennia.

Bahki's primary export, known among interstellar traders as "Stardust," is a highly sought-after crystalline substance secreted by a rare oceanic organism. This substance possesses unique energy-conducting properties, making it invaluable for advanced technological applications. Despite its valuable resources, Bahki remains largely isolated, with the Lumina preferring to maintain their planet's natural state and limit external interference. Access to the planet is strictly regulated by the Lumina council to ensure the preservation of their home world.
