Nethorians

Nethorians are a fictional sapient species originating from the planet Nethor. They are characterized by their unique physiology, which includes a silicon-based skeletal structure and bioluminescent skin. This bioluminescence serves as a primary mode of communication, allowing them to convey complex emotions and information through intricate patterns and color shifts. Their native environment is a world with a high concentration of exotic atmospheric gases and significantly lower gravity than Earth, which has influenced their slender, elongated physical form.

Nethorian society is structured around a communal, hive-like system, with a strong emphasis on collective well-being over individual gain. Their technological advancements are focused on bio-engineering and energy manipulation, with little emphasis on conventional mechanical engineering. They possess a deep understanding of organic life and have developed sophisticated methods for terraforming and adapting their environment. Historically, Nethorians have been known for their pacifist nature and their extensive exploration of the cosmos, seeking knowledge and understanding rather than conquest. Their cultural practices often involve communal meditation and the sharing of psychic experiences, facilitated by their bioluminescent communication.
