Chemets

Chemets are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their crystalline biology, with their bodies composed of various interlocking mineral structures. This unique physiology allows them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures found in their homeworld's harsh environment. Chemets communicate through a complex system of light pulses emitted from specialized organs within their bodies, a process known as chromaluminescence.

Socially, Chemets are organized into communal clusters, each dedicated to specific tasks such as resource gathering, energy production, or scientific research. They have a deeply ingrained respect for their environment, viewing the planet Xylos not just as a home but as a living entity. Their technology is highly advanced, focusing on sustainable energy and bio-integration, often incorporating living organisms into their machines. While generally peaceful, Chemets are fiercely protective of their planet and its resources. Encounters with other species have been rare, but those recorded indicate a cautious but curious disposition. Their reproductive cycle is slow, involving a geological process of mineral accretion and budding.
