Dekkenes

Dekkenes are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their silicon-based biology, which grants them a remarkable resistance to extreme temperatures and radiation. Physically, dekkenes possess a crystalline exoskeleton, often appearing in shades of deep blue and violet. They are bipedal, with four slender limbs that allow for agile movement across varied terrain. Their sensory organs are clustered on a rounded head, featuring multifaceted eyes that can perceive a broader spectrum of light than humans. Dekkenes communicate through a complex series of sonic vibrations and subtle shifts in their exoskeleton's luminescence. Their society is highly communal, with a strong emphasis on collective problem-solving and resource management. Historically, they have developed advanced technologies focused on energy manipulation and terraforming. While generally peaceful, dekkenes are known to be fiercely protective of their homeworld and its unique ecosystems. Their understanding of interstellar travel is rudimentary, and contact with other sentient species has been limited.
