Euras

Euras is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda galaxy. It is known for its unusual atmospheric composition, which gives its skies a perpetual twilight hue of violet and deep orange. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline deserts and towering, bioluminescent fungi that thrive in the dim light.

The dominant intelligent species on Euras are the Lumina, sentient beings composed of living energy. They communicate through intricate patterns of light and are known for their advanced understanding of cosmic energies. The Lumina have a symbiotic relationship with the planet's flora, drawing sustenance from the bioluminescent fungi.

Euras has a relatively low gravity compared to Earth, and its inhabitants have adapted to this by developing slender, elongated forms. The planet experiences long, slow seasons due to its eccentric orbit around a binary star system. During certain periods, the increased solar radiation causes the crystalline deserts to shimmer with intense light, a phenomenon the Lumina call the "Great Refraction."

Exploration of Euras is challenging due to its distance and the unique environmental conditions. Interstellar organizations have sent probes and a few manned missions, but a comprehensive understanding of the planet and its inhabitants remains elusive. The Lumina are generally peaceful but reclusive, preferring to observe rather than engage directly with off-world visitors. Their civilization is ancient, with legends speaking of a time when their energy forms were more physically manifest.
