Veylans

Veylans are a fictional sentient species originating from the planet Veyla in the Kepler-186 system. They are characterized by their silicon-based biology, which allows them to thrive in environments with extreme temperatures and high radiation levels that would be lethal to carbon-based lifeforms. Physically, Veylans possess a crystalline structure, with bodies that refract light and emit a soft luminescence. Their sensory organs are distributed across their external surface, allowing them to perceive vibrations, electromagnetic fields, and subtle shifts in their surroundings.

Veylan society is highly communal and organized around shared consciousness networks, facilitating rapid information exchange and collective decision-making. Their technology is deeply integrated with their biological nature, utilizing crystal growth and energy manipulation for construction, communication, and propulsion. Veylans are known for their philosophical pursuits and their long-term perspective, often spending centuries observing celestial phenomena and contemplating the nature of the universe. Their interactions with other species have historically been cautious, prioritizing observation and understanding before direct engagement. The Veylan homeworld is rich in unique mineral deposits and exhibits geological formations unlike those found on Earth.
