Description

The biomass readings on … are the petrified remains of a pod of Tiyanki.

Likely present in the gas giant during a critical point in its atmospheric dissipation, their bodies were encased in molten metal that has since solidified.

While a small amount of biological matter remains inside, prolonged exposure to the chthonian-level stellar radiation has converted the majority of their corpses into a unique bio-metallic alloy.

… believes that with closer study of these rare fossils, we will be able to discover new avenues of alloy production from biological sources.
