Vartraks

Vartraks are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Kepler-186 system. They are a sentient, silicon-based lifeform characterized by a crystalline exoskeleton and a unique bioluminescent internal structure. Physically, Vartraks stand approximately two meters tall and possess four limbs, two for locomotion and two for manipulation. Their sensory organs are integrated into their head-like cranial structure, perceiving their environment through a combination of seismic vibrations and electromagnetic spectrum analysis.

The Vartraks are known for their advanced understanding of geology and crystallography, skills honed by their planet's mineral-rich environment. Their society is structured around communal living and a deep reverence for their planet's geological formations, which they believe hold the collective memory of their species. Communication among Vartraks occurs through complex patterns of light emitted from their internal bioluminescent organs, a language that has proven challenging for external species to decipher. They are generally a peaceful and introspective species, preferring to observe and analyze rather than engage in direct conflict. Their technological advancements are focused on energy manipulation and subterranean construction, reflecting their adaptation to Xylos's unique planetary conditions.
