tohujia

Tohujia is a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, now known as Legends. They are described as a silicon-based lifeform, which sets them apart from the more common carbon-based species in the galaxy. Physically, tohujia are depicted as having crystalline bodies, often appearing as multifaceted geometric shapes. Their physiology allows them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures that would be lethal to most other beings.

The tohujia society is characterized by its communal and telepathic nature. They are known to communicate through a form of shared consciousness, making individualistic thought less prominent than in other species. Their culture places a high value on harmony, logic, and the preservation of knowledge. Due to their unique biology and societal structure, they have historically maintained a degree of isolation, rarely engaging in interstellar politics or conflicts. However, they possess advanced technological capabilities, particularly in areas related to energy manipulation and crystalline construction. Their interactions with other species have been infrequent, often driven by a need to protect their homeworld or to acquire specific forms of energy or knowledge. Despite their reclusive tendencies, some tohujia have been encountered by other galactic inhabitants, usually in specialized scientific or archaeological expeditions.
