Koskiis

Koskiis are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their crystalline exoskeletons, which shimmer with a variety of iridescent colors depending on their mood and environmental conditions. Koskiis are a silicon-based lifeform, with their biology differing significantly from carbon-based organisms. Their internal structure is composed of intricate lattices of silicate minerals, which allow them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures found on Xylos.

These beings communicate through a complex system of resonant vibrations emitted from their exoskeletons, a form of sonic telepathy. This allows for rapid and nuanced exchange of information within their communities. Koskiis are generally peaceful and contemplative, dedicating their lives to the study of cosmic phenomena and the interconnectedness of the universe. They possess a deep understanding of energy manipulation and have developed advanced technologies based on harnessing stellar radiation.

Socially, Koskiis live in communal clusters, often referred to as "resonances," where they share knowledge and experiences. Reproduction is a slow process involving the budding of a new crystalline structure from a mature individual, which then grows independently. Their lifespan is exceptionally long, spanning millennia, allowing for the accumulation of vast amounts of wisdom and historical data. While they have not extensively explored other galaxies, they maintain a passive observational stance towards other intelligent species, preferring to learn rather than interfere.
