Koreoiden

Koreoiden is a fictional species that appears in the science fiction novel "Starfall" by author Anya Sharma. Within the narrative, Koreoiden are described as sentient, silicon-based lifeforms originating from the planet Xylos. They are characterized by their crystalline structures and their ability to communicate through telepathic vibrations.

The Koreoiden society is depicted as highly communal and deeply integrated with the geological and energetic flows of their homeworld. They possess a unique biological process that allows them to absorb and metabolize minerals, which is essential to their survival and development. Their physical forms are often described as multifaceted and geometric, varying in size and complexity based on age and societal role.

In "Starfall," the Koreoiden are encountered by human explorers and initially present a challenge due to their vastly different biology and methods of interaction. The novel explores themes of interspecies understanding and the definition of life through the interactions between humans and the Koreoiden. Their motivations and societal structures are central to several plot points, highlighting their philosophical outlook on existence and the universe. The species is portrayed as ancient and wise, possessing a long-term perspective that contrasts with the more immediate concerns of the human characters.
