Hyllors

Hyllors is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations and a singular, resilient form of life. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline plains that shimmer with an otherworldly luminescence, interspersed with deep, cavernous rifts. These rifts are believed to be the source of the planet's geothermal energy, which sustains the native ecosystem.

The dominant life form on Hyllors, tentatively classified as Luminaflora, is a silicon-based organism that thrives in the extreme conditions of the planet. Luminaflora appear as slow-moving, semi-sentient crystalline structures that absorb energy directly from the planet's geothermal vents. They communicate through subtle shifts in their internal luminescence and rhythmic vibrations. Scientists are still trying to understand their reproductive cycle, which appears to be tied to rare planetary alignment events.

The atmosphere of Hyllors is thin and rich in noble gases, making it unsuitable for most known forms of carbon-based life. The temperature fluctuates dramatically between day and night cycles, with scorching heat during the day and sub-zero temperatures at night. Despite these harsh conditions, the Luminaflora have adapted remarkably, their crystalline structures providing both insulation and energy absorption. Exploration of Hyllors is ongoing, with researchers focused on understanding the planet's unique biochemistry and the potential for life beyond Earth.
