Deldros

Deldros is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires and vast underground cave systems. The planet's atmosphere is rich in a gas called lumin, which causes the crystals to emit a soft, ethereal glow during the long nights. This luminescence is the primary source of light on Deldros, creating a breathtaking landscape.

The indigenous species of Deldros, the Lumina, are silicon-based lifeforms. They are adapted to the planet's crystalline environment and communicate through a complex system of light pulses and harmonic vibrations. The Lumina are a peaceful and reclusive race, with a deep understanding of their planet's geological and energetic properties. They have developed advanced technologies that harness the planet's natural luminescence and seismic activity.

Deldros orbits a binary star system, resulting in complex day-night cycles and varying levels of ambient energy. The planet's surface is arid, with sparse vegetation consisting of bioluminescent fungi and mineral-rich mosses. Water is scarce and is primarily found in subterranean aquifers, which the Lumina carefully manage. Exploration of Deldros is challenging due to its remote location and the Lumina's desire to protect their home world from external interference. Research into Deldros primarily focuses on its unique geology, the properties of lumin gas, and the biology of the Lumina.
