Seltaajas

Seltaajas are a fictional species native to the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which glows in various colors depending on their mood and environmental conditions. Seltaajas have a tall, slender build, with four arms and large, multifaceted eyes that allow them to perceive a wide spectrum of light. Their diet consists primarily of nutrient-rich mosses and subterranean fungi found on Xylos.

The Seltaajas have a highly communal society, living in interconnected underground cities. Their communication is a complex blend of vocalizations, pheromones, and the intricate patterns of their bioluminescence. They are known for their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and their ability to manipulate organic matter for construction and technological purposes. Their society is structured around a council of elders, chosen for their wisdom and experience.

Historically, the Seltaajas have maintained a peaceful existence, largely isolated from other galactic civilizations. However, recent exploratory missions from the Terran Alliance have led to first contact, initiating a period of cultural exchange and potential collaboration. Initial interactions have been cautious but positive, with both species expressing interest in learning from each other's unique perspectives and technologies. The Seltaajas' gentle nature and their deep connection to their planet's ecosystem are primary focal points of study for visiting xenobiologists.
