Roilänions

Roilänions are a hypothetical species native to the gas giant planet Roil, orbiting the star Cygni X-1. These beings are believed to be composed of a unique bio-plasma, allowing them to exist within the extreme pressures and temperatures of Roil's atmosphere. Their forms are amorphous and iridescent, shifting in color and density as they navigate the planet's turbulent currents. Roilänions are thought to communicate through complex electromagnetic pulses, a method that has proven challenging for external observation and study.

Little is known about Roilänion society or culture, due to the extreme difficulty of reaching Roil and the even greater challenge of studying life forms so fundamentally different from terrestrial biology. Scientific speculation suggests they may possess a collective consciousness, or that their individual existences are deeply intertwined with the atmospheric phenomena of their home world. Their primary mode of sustenance is theorized to be the absorption of atmospheric gases and energy from Roil's powerful storms. Any potential interactions with other species remain purely speculative, as no confirmed encounters have ever been documented. The existence of Roilänions is currently based on indirect evidence and theoretical models of life in extreme environments.
