Background

Discovered shortly after mankind's first leap into deep intergalatic space (made possible thanks to the development of Wormhole Drives), this unassuming planet came under the Confederacy's radar following the detection of artifacts and a small ruin on what is otherwise a barren surface.

Artifacts Information

While of unknown origins, the artifacts discovered (over 300 small, bronze-colored rings) are speculated to have been self-replicating probes sent by an Advanced civilization (potentially late Type-II). The ruins of a small outpost (built of a similar material) points toward the subsequent exploration of Xeikon by this civilization for reasons unknown.

Contemporary dating methods have determined the age of those artifacts at roughly 70 Million years (Late Cretaceous period on Earth). The lack of similar finds anywhere else in M110 seem to indicate the Andromeda galaxy as a likely origin. No information has been found on the physical charateristics of the specie, if only that the outpost's remains showed no signs of any means to control its Equipment (not a single switch or button was found).

Life Information

If one does not take into account the artifacts mentioned above, Xeikon's endemic life

One of Xeikon's many unicellular organisms. Note its purple hues, most likely responsible for the planet's colorful surface.

seems limited to the large-scale proliferation of a variety of simple, unicellular organisms.
