tarbelustia

Tarbelustia is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations and its dominant, silicon-based life forms. The planet's atmosphere is rich in methane and ammonia, giving its skies a perpetual orange hue. Surface temperatures are extremely low, requiring any potential visitors to use specialized environmental suits.

The dominant inhabitants of Tarbelustia are crystalline entities known as the Geodes. These beings communicate through intricate vibrational patterns and have a deep understanding of the planet's mineral composition. Their society is structured around communal energy sharing and the slow, deliberate growth of their crystalline forms. They have no concept of individual ownership or rapid technological advancement as understood by carbon-based life.

Geological surveys indicate that Tarbelustia possesses vast underground caverns filled with exotic mineral deposits. These caverns are believed to be the origin point of the Geodes and are considered sacred sites by them. The planet also experiences infrequent but powerful seismic activity, which the Geodes seem to perceive as a form of planetary rejuvenation. Exploration of Tarbelustia is challenging due to the extreme conditions and the non-intrusive nature of its native inhabitants.
