Gabests

Gabests are a fictional species that originate from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin and their unique ability to communicate through a complex system of light patterns and subtle sonic vibrations. Physically, gabests are slender, with elongated limbs and large, multifaceted eyes that are highly sensitive to light. Their diet consists primarily of bio-luminescent flora found in the subterranean caves of Xylos.

The social structure of gabests is communal, with individuals living in tightly knit colonies. They are known for their advanced understanding of their planet's ecosystem and their peaceful disposition. Their technology, while not focused on space travel, is highly sophisticated in areas such as bio-engineering and energy manipulation, primarily derived from geothermal sources. Their culture emphasizes harmony with nature and a deep respect for ancestral knowledge, passed down through generations via oral traditions and intricate light-based storytelling.

Interactions between gabests and other species are rare due to their isolated homeworld. However, historical records suggest brief encounters with early spacefaring civilizations, which were generally non-confrontational. Their societal goals are focused on the preservation and understanding of their unique environment rather than outward expansion.
