Silvberts

Silvberts are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. They are a sentient, silicon-based lifeform known for their crystalline exoskeletons and slow metabolic rates. Silvberts communicate through complex patterns of light emitted from specialized organs within their bodies, a form of bioluminescence that can be perceived across a wide spectrum. Their society is structured around communal energy harvesting, absorbing ambient stellar radiation through their crystalline forms.

Physically, Silvberts resemble multifaceted geometric structures, varying in size from small, pebble-like individuals to large, towering beings. They possess multiple appendages that can manipulate objects with surprising dexterity, despite their slow movements. Reproduction among Silvberts is a process of asexual budding, where a smaller crystalline fragment detaches from a mature individual and slowly grows into a new being. Their lifespan is exceptionally long, with some individuals estimated to live for millennia, accumulating vast amounts of knowledge and experience.

The Silvbert homeworld, Xylos, is characterized by its low gravity and intense solar radiation, conditions that are ideal for their silicon-based biology. Their technology, while advanced, is integrated directly into their organic structures, focusing on energy manipulation and crystalline growth rather than mechanical devices. Interactions with other species have been minimal, with the Silvberts generally preferring observation and contemplation over direct engagement. Their cultural values emphasize patience, resilience, and a deep understanding of cosmic energies.
