Katteja

Katteja is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique ecosystem and the sentient species that inhabits it, also called Katteja. The planet's surface is characterized by vast crystalline forests and rivers of liquid methane. The atmosphere is dense and rich in nitrogen, with trace amounts of exotic gases that contribute to the vibrant auroras that frequently light up the sky.

The Katteja species are bipedal beings with silicon-based biology. They possess a natural bioluminescence that allows them to communicate and navigate in the dimly lit crystalline forests. Their society is communal, with a strong emphasis on collective knowledge and environmental stewardship. They have developed advanced technologies that are deeply integrated with their natural surroundings, utilizing bio-luminescent flora for energy and crystal structures for data storage.

Little is known about the early history of Katteja, but their oral traditions speak of a time when their planet faced significant environmental challenges, which led to their focus on sustainable living. They have had limited contact with other interstellar civilizations, preferring to observe and learn rather than engage in direct interaction. Their primary focus remains the preservation and understanding of their own world.
