			It is rumored that Cyclorites never stop growing, constantly gaining mass as they age. The oldest known Cyclorite is believed to be over 450 years old, though almost none over 100 have left their homeworlds.

	~~== The Cyclorite ==~~
	~~=== Naming conventions ===~~
	Cyclorite names appear to embody their stone forms. Names reflect the abyss within the Null Scar, and often refer to the dark. Unlike many other species, Cyclorite do not appear to adopt any last or family names.

	=== ~~Cyclorite Origins~~ ===		== Cyclorite ==
	According to Cyclorite legends, the very first Cyclorites were formed when an abyssal storm struck their nexus planet Cyla. Their ancient texts speak of an "Elder God" who was contained within this storm which created them. The ~~predominent~~ accepted theory at Central Command is that the rush of ions across the loose nitrogen atmosphere produced a charge that, albeit confoundingly, has still has not been replicated to this day. The resulting lightning struck the tallest structures on Cyla, these large seemingly inorganic rock formations. Formations were blasted apart, ejecting large chunks across the planet, and into space.		The Cyclorites are a blunt and sturdy people from an Abyssal world within the Null Scar, with much of the appearance and attributes of stone. They are a durable people, well suited to life on a space station, and though only recently contacted by the wider galaxy they have already found their way onto various stations in the sectors around the Null Scar.

			== Biology ==
			Cyclorites are taller on average than any of the other common species onboard NanoTrasen Space Stations, towering over their peers. Their most notable feature is their large, singular eye- the namesake of their species in Common. This eye is adapted for the dark, and due to the palette of their homeworld has an underdeveloped red photo-receptor.

	Afterwards, remains of the pillars were strewn across the surface of Cyla and carried off by the abyssal storm. Over time, these remains slowly coalesced into humanoid shapes. While slow at first, the humanoid shapes, early Cyclorites, quickly gained speed, adapting quickly to their new environment. Within a short time-frame, these Cyclorites had developed a language, vibrating their bodies at resonant frequencies to generate sound. Within only a few decades they had formed tribal governments, each one unique to their own planet. It is theorized that those Cyclorites which are large enough to produce subsonic waves are able to communicate between planets, leading to the establishment of alliances, and enemies.

	=== ~~Cyclorite Physiology~~ ===		=== Family and Community ===
	Cyclorite bodies ~~are built~~ from the ~~ground of~~ their ~~abyssal home world giving them~~ their ~~wide~~ and ~~strong physique~~. Their ~~organs appear~~ to be ~~made out~~ of ~~a mix~~ of ~~abyssal sludge along~~ with ~~a purple gemstone~~ for ~~a heart~~, ~~reinforcing their strong body~~. ~~The eye~~ of a ~~Cylorite~~ has ~~weaker red photo-receptors causing them~~ to have ~~stronger nightvision~~ which ~~has suited them well in~~ their ~~dark environment~~.		While some family structures exist, they tend to be much looser and less defined by either a matriarchy or a patriarchy. Cyclorites generally place less emphasis on their lineage than other species, not even taking or using last names to keep track of such things.

			Despite this, the Cyclorites are a very communal people. Inherently able to communicate over a larger distance than most, via subsonic vibrations that carry through the ground, this has created a very connected people. It has also slowed the integration of Cyclorites into the wider galaxy somewhat, as learning to speak other languages with comparatively much narrower ranges of sounds used to communicate, is difficult for Cyclorites. Even those that speak Common often find themselves echoing their words in deeper vibrations in their native language, like they are speaking under their breath.

			=== Fashion and Aesthetics ===
			Cyclorite fashion is generally more function over form, with the need to accommodate their bulky frames and the irregular stoney growths on their bodies making long sleeves undesirable and impractical. For much of their history, their fashion has favored sleeveless clothes, with loose and flowy fabric. Some of this perceived simplicity is a misconception born from environment. Cyclorites produce dyes from the materials on their Abyssal worlds, so while sometimes dull or plain looking under normal lighting, their clothing is often intricately colored and luminous in the dark. Cool blues and purples are the most common tones, with reds and greens being very uncommon.

			Their architecture tends to be rather abstract, influenced by the twisting nature of the plant life on Abyssal planets. It is believed their early shelters were often tapered and integrated the twisting spiral growth of the native trees into their design, interlocking for structural stability. This design has carried into their modern architecture, with interlocking spiral joints in their carpentry.

			== Society ==

			=== Government ===
			While communication between nearby planets inhabited by Cyclorites has been possible for most of their history, it was only very recently that space travel became accessible to them. Because of this they have not unified under a single government but instead each planet has a somewhat tribal government, with individual leaders that hold a large amount of power individually but can be replaced at any time.

			=== Economy ===
			Abyssal worlds are often ravaged by electrical storms that have effects similar to EMPs. Despite this, they have managed to advance technologically by harnessing a unique material on their worlds- Abyssium. This material can insulate and harness these EMP storms, protecting electronics. This is one of the Cyclorite's most lucrative exports, with the Central Research Division of CentComm being most interested in it's application. It is rumored that this material may even be used in their AI Cores, which would explain why they are less prone to the effects of Ion Storms.

			One of their secondary exports is Abyssal Wood. It's purple hue and hardness makes it desirable by the elites of the galaxy for furnishing.

	=== ~~Cyclorite language~~ ===		== Trivia ==
	The Cyclorite language is a mixture of sounds created by vibrating their bodies at high and low frequencies. Most species cannot understand their true language, but over the years many Cyclorites have learned how to imitate the common tongue of English, allowing them to work for Central Command.

Their organs appear to be made out of a mix of abyssal sludge along with a purple gemstone for a heart, reinforcing their strong body. The eye of a Cylorite has weaker red photo-receptors causing them to have stronger nightvision which has suited them well in their dark environment.

=== Their Abyssal Home World ===
Abyssal planets can be found throughout the Starlight sector with Cyclorites inhabiting most. The Abyss is a dark and damp environment containing flora and fauna that contain the colors of purple and dark blue to blend in together. The Abyss was first recognized thanks to reasearch into the Null Scar. White space technology has allowed Central Research Division to visit these Cyclorite homeworlds with relative ease. Occasional EMP storms cross thought the Abyss creating a hostile environment for electrical devices. Despite that, the Cyclorite were able to harness the native material, abyssium, to create shielding to protect any electrical equipment that is created there.
