Rybái

Rybái is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are sentient, silicon-based lifeforms, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and bioluminescent internal structures. Rybái communicate through a complex system of light pulses and resonant frequencies emitted from their bodies. Their physiology is adapted to the high-pressure, low-oxygen environment of Xylos, which features vast underground caverns illuminated by geothermal activity.

The Rybái society is communal, with individuals sharing a collective consciousness through a network of bio-electric signals. They possess advanced knowledge of geology and energy manipulation, having developed sophisticated technology powered by the planet's internal heat. Their social structure is not hierarchical in the traditional sense; instead, decisions are made through consensus achieved via their networked consciousness. Rybái are known for their peaceful disposition and their deep reverence for the geological formations of their home world, which they consider sacred. Encounters with other species are rare, as Xylos is located in a sparsely populated sector of Andromeda, and the Rybái have shown little inclination to explore beyond their own system. Their existence was first documented by interstellar probes in the late 23rd century.
