Zavaross

Zavaross is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires that pierce the planet's perpetually twilight sky. These spires are composed of a bioluminescent mineral that emits a soft, ethereal glow, providing the primary source of light on Zavaross.

The planet's atmosphere is rich in noble gases, giving the sky a vibrant, multi-hued appearance. Life on Zavaross has adapted to these conditions, with many native species exhibiting crystalline structures or bioluminescent properties. The dominant sentient species, the Lumina, are silicon-based lifeforms that communicate through complex light patterns emitted from their bodies. They are known for their intricate societal structures and their deep understanding of crystallography.

Zavaross orbits a binary star system, which contributes to its unusual day-night cycle and the fluctuating energy levels that influence the growth and luminescence of the crystal spires. The planet's gravity is approximately 0.8 times that of Earth. Despite its alien environment, Zavaross is a subject of interest for xenobiologists and geologists due to its extraordinary natural phenomena and the potential for unique scientific discoveries. Exploration of Zavaross is primarily conducted by automated probes due to the delicate nature of its ecosystem and the atmospheric composition.
