Lithians

Lithians are a fictional species originating from the planet Lithos in the Andromeda Galaxy. They are characterized by their silicon-based biology, which allows them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures not survivable by carbon-based lifeforms. Their bodies are composed of crystalline structures, giving them a faceted appearance and a naturally tough exterior.

Lithians communicate through a combination of resonant vibrations and emitted light pulses, a method that is complex and difficult for other species to decipher. Their society is highly communal, with individuals often sharing a collective consciousness or telepathic link, particularly during periods of significant decision-making or crisis. This interconnectedness fosters a strong sense of unity and purpose within their civilization.

Technologically, Lithians have mastered energy manipulation and asteroid mining, utilizing the abundant mineral resources of their home system. They are known for their patient and methodical approach to problem-solving, a trait stemming from their long lifespans and deep understanding of geological and astronomical processes. While generally peaceful and reclusive, they possess advanced defensive capabilities should their territory be threatened. Their interactions with other interstellar species are rare, often limited to scientific observation and resource exchange.
