tandemoi

Tandemoi is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Starbound universe. These beings are characterized by their bioluminescent qualities and their deep connection to the natural world of their homeworld. Tandemoi are known for their gentle nature and their pacifist tendencies, preferring to resolve conflicts through understanding and cooperation rather than aggression.

Physically, Tandemoi are slender and graceful, with smooth, skin-like coverings that can range in color from deep blues to vibrant greens. Their most striking feature is their bioluminescence, which they can control to communicate emotions or signal to others. This light also plays a role in their environment, often illuminating the dense, exotic flora of Xylos.

The society of the Tandemoi is highly communal, with an emphasis on shared resources and collective well-being. They live in harmony with Xylos's ecosystem, utilizing its natural bounty without causing harm. Their technology, while advanced, is often bio-integrated, designed to work with rather than against their planet's organic life. They are known to be skilled artisans and musicians, creating intricate crafts and ethereal melodies. Interacting with other species, the Tandemoi often serve as diplomats or mediators, their calm demeanor and emphasis on empathy proving invaluable.
