Korramists

Korramists are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Aldebaran system. They are characterized by their silicon-based biology, which grants them a remarkable resilience to extreme temperatures and radiation. Physically, Korramists are bipedal, standing at an average height of 2.5 meters, with a segmented exoskeleton that ranges in color from deep obsidian to iridescent violet. They possess four primary limbs, two used for locomotion and two for manipulation, each ending in multi-jointed digits. Their sensory organs are concentrated in a cranial cluster, featuring compound eyes capable of perceiving a broader spectrum of light than humans and auditory receptors sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies.

The Korramist civilization is ancient, marked by a deep understanding of geological and astronomical phenomena. Their society is structured around a collective consciousness, where individual thoughts and experiences are shared and processed within a communal network. This has led to a highly cooperative and technologically advanced society, focused on resource management and long-term survival. They are known for their sophisticated terraforming techniques and their ability to harness geothermal energy. Interactions with other species have been rare, primarily due to their remote location and their species' inherent caution regarding external influences. Their primary form of communication is telepathic, augmented by complex vibrational patterns emitted through their exoskeletons.
