Keldaxia

Keldaxia is a fictional planet within the Andromeda Galaxy, known for its unique geological formations and a single, dominant intelligent species. The planet's atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and trace amounts of argon, giving its skies a perpetual twilight hue. Keldaxia's surface is characterized by vast, crystalline deserts punctuated by towering spires of obsidian that hum with low-frequency vibrations. These spires are believed to be naturally occurring phenomena, possibly related to the planet's unusual magnetic field.

The indigenous inhabitants of Keldaxia are the Xylos, a silicon-based lifeform. They possess a crystalline exoskeleton and communicate through a complex system of resonant frequencies emitted by their internal structures. The Xylos society is highly communal, with individuals functioning as interconnected nodes within a larger collective consciousness. Their technology, if it can be called that, is largely bio-integrated and focused on manipulating planetary energy fields. They have no concept of individual ownership or conflict, existing in a state of constant, subtle equilibrium with their environment. Exploratory missions from other galaxies have found Keldaxia to be largely uninhabited by other species, with the Xylos being the sole sentient presence. Their existence is slow and deliberate, focused on maintaining the planet's delicate energetic balance.
