Katkoksellas

Katkoksellas is a fictional plant species originating from the planet Xylos in the science fiction universe of "Starfall Chronicles." It is characterized by its bioluminescent properties and its unique ability to absorb and store ambient psychic energy. The plant typically grows in dense, underground caverns where it is shielded from direct sunlight, which is believed to inhibit its luminescence and energy-absorbing capabilities.

Physically, Katkoksellas has broad, leathery leaves that emit a soft, pulsating blue light. Its root system is extensive and deeply embedded in the mineral-rich soil of Xylos. The plant reproduces through spores released during periods of high psychic activity, which are common on Xylos due to the planet's native sentient species, the Xylosians.

The Xylosians have a symbiotic relationship with Katkoksellas. They utilize the plant's stored psychic energy for various purposes, including powering their technology and facilitating telepathic communication. Historically, Katkoksellas has been central to Xylosian culture and survival, with rituals and ceremonies often involving the plant. However, over-harvesting by off-world entities seeking to exploit its energy has led to conservation efforts by the Xylosians in recent galactic history.
