Designation: Astravis Tectura — The Cosmic Tortoise.
Recorded in the Celestial Atlas, Cycle 73.
Said to be among the oldest living entities in known space, the Astravis Tectura carries fractured nebulae across its shell like drifting memories.
Ancient starfarers believed these beings were librarians of the universe, archiving fragments of galaxies within the swirling colours on their backs. Modern astronomers still debate whether the orbiting sigils that surround them are natural phenomena… or language.
If you encounter one, observe in silence. You’re standing in the presence of a creature older than light.
