Selvers

Selvers are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by their bioluminescent skin, which emits a soft blue light, and their six slender limbs. Selvers possess a unique internal organ that allows them to communicate telepathically, though they also have a spoken language that sounds like a series of melodic clicks and whistles. Their society is structured around communal living and a deep respect for nature.

Physically, Selvers are tall and thin, averaging around two meters in height. Their eyes are large and multifaceted, capable of perceiving a broader spectrum of light than humans. They subsist on a diet of nutrient-rich fungi and algae, which they cultivate in specialized underground farms. Selvers have a relatively long lifespan, with individuals often living for several Xylosian centuries, which is equivalent to approximately 500 Earth years.

The Selver civilization has achieved a high level of technological advancement, particularly in the fields of bio-engineering and sustainable energy. They have developed methods to harness the natural energy of Xylos's twin suns and have integrated their technology seamlessly with their environment. Their cities are organic in design, often built into the natural landscape, featuring structures that appear to grow from the planet itself. Selvers are known for their peaceful nature and their philosophical outlook, prioritizing knowledge and understanding above all else. They have had limited but significant interactions with other galactic species, often serving as mediators in interstellar disputes.
