Scétés

Scétés are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are known for their advanced bio-engineering capabilities and their unique symbiotic relationship with a crystalline life form called Lumina. Scétés appear as tall, slender humanoids with iridescent skin that shifts in color depending on their mood and environment. They possess multiple limbs, typically six, which allow for intricate manipulation of their surroundings and precise execution of their bio-engineering projects. Their heads are elongated and feature large, multifaceted eyes that can perceive a broader spectrum of light than most known species.

The Scétés civilization is built upon a deep understanding of genetics and organic manipulation. They have developed technologies that allow them to create and modify living organisms for various purposes, including construction, agriculture, and even defense. Their cities are not built in the traditional sense but are grown, with structures formed from bio-luminescent, self-repairing organic matter. The Lumina are essential to this process, providing energy and facilitating the growth and maintenance of Scétés structures and creations. Lumina are not sentient in the way most species understand it, but they respond to the bio-electrical impulses of the Scétés, acting as a living network that connects their society and technology.

The Scétés are a generally peaceful species, focused on scientific advancement and the harmonious integration of technology and biology. They have had limited but peaceful contact with other galactic civilizations, often sharing their knowledge of bio-engineering in exchange for understanding of other scientific principles. Their society is highly communal, with a strong emphasis on collective well-being and the pursuit of knowledge.
