Kelmas

Kelmas is a fictional planet located in the outer rim of the Andromeda galaxy. It is primarily known for its unique atmospheric composition, which gives the sky a perpetual twilight hue. The planet's surface is characterized by vast crystalline deserts and deep, bioluminescent caverns.

The native inhabitants of Kelmas are the Lumina, a silicon-based lifeform that communicates through complex light patterns emitted from specialized organs. The Lumina are known for their peaceful disposition and their advanced understanding of celestial mechanics. They have developed a sophisticated society that revolves around the observation and interpretation of cosmic phenomena.

Kelmas's economy is based on the extraction of rare minerals found within its crystalline structures, which are highly sought after for their energy-conducting properties. The planet is also a significant hub for intergalactic trade, attracting merchants and explorers from across the galaxy. Despite its remoteness, Kelmas maintains diplomatic relations with several other major galactic powers.

The planet experiences extreme temperature fluctuations between its "day" and "night" cycles, although these are not defined by a star in the traditional sense, but rather by the planet's orbital proximity to a binary nebula. This has led to the evolution of specialized flora and fauna adapted to these harsh conditions.
