Golgiban

Golgiban 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 known as "lumina," which causes the native flora to emit a soft, bioluminescent glow during the planet's long nights.

The dominant species on Golgiban are the K'tharr, a silicon-based lifeform. The K'tharr are known for their intricate crystalline structures and their telepathic abilities. They have developed a complex society centered around the mining and manipulation of the planet's abundant mineral resources, which they use for both construction and energy generation.

Golgiban's ecosystem is diverse, with many species adapted to the planet's low gravity and the lumina-rich atmosphere. Subterranean oceans teem with bioluminescent aquatic life, while the surface is dotted with hardy, crystalline plants. The K'tharr have a symbiotic relationship with many of these lifeforms, integrating them into their technology and architecture.

The planet's history is marked by periods of intense geological activity and the slow evolution of its unique inhabitants. While the K'tharr are largely isolationist, their advanced understanding of crystal technology has attracted the attention of off-world explorers, though direct contact remains rare and carefully managed by the K'tharr themselves.
