Kestaross

Kestaross is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. Its surface is characterized by a unique geological landscape of towering crystalline formations and vast, shimmering deserts. The atmosphere is thin and rich in nitrogen, with trace amounts of an unknown gas that gives the sky a perpetual violet hue.

The dominant life form on Kestaross is the Lumina, a silicon-based organism that communicates through bioluminescent patterns. These creatures are known for their intricate social structures and their ability to manipulate the crystalline environment around them. They subsist on a diet of minerals extracted from the planet's core.

Kestaross is orbited by two moons, a small, rocky body named Argent and a larger, gaseous moon called Veridian. The planet experiences extreme temperature fluctuations between its long days and nights, with temperatures plummeting to near absolute zero during the prolonged darkness.

Exploration of Kestaross has been limited due to its remote location and the challenges posed by its environment. However, preliminary studies suggest the presence of rare minerals with potential technological applications. The planet's unique ecosystem and geological features have made it a subject of interest for xenobiologists and geologists alike.
