Jollomex

Jollomex is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda galaxy. It is known for its unique biodiversity and geological formations. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline deserts interspersed with dense, bioluminescent jungles. These jungles are home to a variety of flora and fauna, many of which exhibit unusual adaptations to the planet's low gravity and high atmospheric pressure.

The dominant sentient species on Jollomex are the Xylos, a silicon-based lifeform. The Xylos are known for their intricate societal structures and their advanced understanding of crystal-based technology. They communicate through a complex system of light pulses and resonant frequencies. Their cities are often carved directly into the planet's massive crystal formations, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape.

Jollomex's atmosphere is rich in noble gases, which contribute to the vibrant auroras that frequently illuminate the night sky. The planet orbits a binary star system, resulting in complex seasonal cycles and varied light conditions throughout the year. Explorations by off-world civilizations have been limited, primarily due to the challenging environmental conditions and the Xylos' cautious approach to external contact. Scientific interest in Jollomex stems from its potential to offer insights into exotic forms of life and advanced material science.
