Starbellies

Starbellies are a fictional species originating from the planet Lumina in the Andromeda galaxy. They are characterized by bioluminescent patterns on their abdominal regions, which are believed to play a role in communication and social signaling. These patterns, unique to each individual, can shift in color and intensity depending on the Starbelly's emotional state or immediate environment.

Physically, Starbellies are generally humanoid in form, with two arms, two legs, and a distinct head. Their skin is often described as having a smooth, iridescent quality, adapting to the light conditions of their home world. Lumina is known for its low-light atmosphere and a unique flora that also exhibits bioluminescence, suggesting a co-evolutionary relationship between the Starbellies and their ecosystem.

The Starbellies are depicted as a highly intelligent and technologically advanced civilization, known for their contributions to astrogation and energy manipulation. Their society is often portrayed as peaceful and contemplative, with a deep respect for knowledge and the natural universe. Interstellar travel is a common practice, and they have established diplomatic relations with various other species across the cosmos. Their primary mode of communication, in addition to vocalizations, is the complex interplay of their abdominal light patterns.
