arvien

Arvien is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda galaxy. It is known for its unusual atmospheric composition, which gives its sky a distinctive violet hue. The planet's surface is primarily composed of crystalline structures that refract light in a mesmerizing display, particularly during its dual sunrise and sunset.

The dominant life forms on Arvien are the Lumina, sentient beings characterized by their bioluminescent bodies and their deep connection to the planet's crystalline energy. The Lumina communicate through a complex interplay of light patterns and resonant frequencies, a form of communication that is still being studied by off-world xenobiologists. Their society is highly communal, with a focus on ecological harmony and the preservation of their planet's unique geological features.

Arvien's ecosystem is characterized by flora that absorbs ambient light for sustenance and fauna that have adapted to the low-gravity environment. The planet experiences regular auroral displays, a result of its strong magnetic field interacting with stellar winds. These displays are considered sacred by the Lumina, often incorporated into their spiritual practices and artistic expressions. Research stations from various galactic civilizations have been established on Arvien, primarily for studying its unique geology and the Lumina's advanced bio-luminescent technology.
