Leviaviens

Leviaviens are a species originating from the planet Xylos. They are a sentient, silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and slow metabolic processes. Leviaviens communicate through complex vibrational patterns emitted from specialized organs within their bodies, a method that is difficult for other species to interpret. Their physical form is somewhat amorphous, allowing them to adapt their shape to their environment to a limited degree. They reproduce asexually through a process of budding, where a smaller crystalline structure detaches from the parent and grows into a new individual.

The Leviavien society is communal, with individuals sharing resources and knowledge through a collective consciousness facilitated by their vibrational communication. They are known for their exceptional longevity, with some individuals estimated to live for thousands of Xylosian years. Their technology is not based on conventional mechanics or electronics, but rather on the manipulation of geological forces and crystalline growth. They have a profound understanding of planetary formation and seismic activity, which they utilize for survival and societal development. Leviaviens are generally peaceful and reclusive, preferring to observe the universe rather than actively participate in interstellar affairs. Their primary goals revolve around the study of cosmic phenomena and the preservation of their unique evolutionary path.
