Estinians

Estinians are a fictional ethnic group from the planet Estinia. They are characterized by their deep connection to the planet's natural environment, particularly its bioluminescent flora and fauna. Physically, Estinians are known for their slightly elongated limbs and large, expressive eyes that are adapted to the dim light of their homeworld. Their skin tones vary, often reflecting the hues of their native ecosystems, ranging from earthy browns to soft blues and greens.

The Estinian culture is deeply rooted in animism and a profound respect for all living things. Their society is largely communal, with an emphasis on cooperation and shared responsibility. Artistic expression is central to Estinian life, with intricate weaving, melodic chanting, and elaborate ritualistic dances forming key components of their traditions. Their technology, while advanced in areas such as bio-engineering and sustainable energy, is developed in harmony with their environment, eschewing industrial methods that could cause ecological harm.

Estinian history speaks of periods of isolation and interaction with other galactic civilizations. They are generally a peaceful people, prioritizing diplomacy and understanding. However, they are known to be fiercely protective of their homeworld and its unique biodiversity, and have historically resisted attempts at exploitation or colonization. Their language is characterized by complex tonal variations and a rich vocabulary for describing natural phenomena.
