Kelvoton

Kelvoton is a fictional planet within the Andromeda Galaxy, notable for its unique atmospheric composition and the highly evolved sentient species that inhabit it. The planet's surface is dominated by vast, bioluminescent flora that cycles through vibrant color shifts corresponding to atmospheric pressure changes. This phenomenon is a direct result of the planet's dual suns, which emit radiation that interacts with specific airborne microorganisms.

The dominant species, known as the Lumina, are silicon-based lifeforms with a complex societal structure centered around communal energy absorption. Their physical forms are crystalline, allowing them to efficiently process the ambient energy of Kelvoton. Communication among the Lumina occurs through a form of directed light pulses, intricate patterns of which convey complex information and emotions.

Kelvoton's history is largely unrecorded in any accessible interstellar archives, though Lumina oral traditions speak of an ancient celestial event that shaped their planet and their evolution. Exploratory missions from various galactic federations have attempted to establish contact, but the Lumina's highly insular nature and their unique physiological requirements have made sustained interaction challenging. The planet's primary resource, a stable energy field, is of significant interest, but its extraction is considered non-viable due to the potential disruption of the Lumina's delicate ecosystem.
