SulKeshs

SulKeshs are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the K'tharr system. They are a silicon-based lifeform, distinguished by their crystalline exoskeletons which refract light in a variety of colors. Their bodies are generally humanoid in shape, though their limbs are segmented and their heads are characterized by a series of sensory nodules rather than distinct facial features. Communication among SulKeshs is primarily telepathic, supplemented by subtle shifts in their exoskeleton's coloration.

The SulKesh society is highly communal and hierarchical, with individuals serving specific roles determined by their crystalline composition and resonance. They are known for their advanced understanding of crystallography and energy manipulation, which they utilize for both their technology and their societal structure. Their homeworld, Xylos, is rich in unique mineral deposits, which are crucial for SulKesh development and sustenance.

Historically, the SulKesh have been a reclusive species, largely focused on internal development and exploration of their own star system. Encounters with other species have been rare, and their motivations and societal intricacies remain largely unknown to outsiders. Their technology is integrated directly into their crystalline biology, making it difficult to distinguish between natural SulKesh abilities and manufactured tools.
