Chrysalia

==Overview==
Crysalia is an little larger than average sized gas giant located within the far reaches of the Lochia System situated in the Kardesh Galaxy. Crysalia is a gas giant, which are large worlds composed mostly of gases, such as hydrogen and helium, with a relatively small rocky core. Much like other gas giant worlds, it's atmosphere is mostly comprised of hydrogen and helium, but it also contains methane. This gas gives the planet its characteristic blue and white colors dominating the atmosphere.
Crysalia's possesses a small-sized, solid and rocky core made up of heavier elements, but Crysalia lacks a well-defined solid surface like the other gas giants. The planet Crysalia has the shape of an oblate spheroid because to it's quick rotational period. At various latitudes, the outer atmosphere is separated into many differently colored bands, each containing turbulence and storms along their interacting edges.  
==Biology==
Crysalia possesses an highly advanced alien ecosystem located in all layers of the endless clouds of the planet. The ecosystem is purely silicon-based, however most creatures possess looks fairly similar to the common carbon-based organisms. It is currently unknown how life got to thrive and evolve on such a hostile planet. However, many plausible theories have been made, and accepted by both scientists and the public.
The most likely scenario is that a when small rocky body such as a meteor or a comet filled with microbes entered the atmosphere of the planet, disintegrating under the pressure. The small microbes, however, survived their short voyage into the gas giant and were able to swiftly reproduce before falling into their demise. This process triggered the foreseeable evolution of these microbes into more complex creatures.
Over a course of many hundreds of millions of years, these simple, yet abundant lifeforms had evolved into sinker organisms, simple multicellular lifeforms that reproduce before falling deep into the gas giant to eventually be crushed by the immense pressures.
In many thousands of years, sinker organisms evolved into more advanced and complex floaters, that actively keep their pressure level and stay in the same atmospheric layer of the gas giant for a relatively long period of time. These floaters often had simple appearances in the shape of balloons, however, evolution has given them far more complex shapes and sizes than ever before.
To sustain this heavy population of floaters, many species of specialized hunters started to appear, evolving mostly from some floater species and only a few sinker species. The hunters attack only floaters, leaving the sinkers to be. Most of the time, the process of killing a floater is by breathing their tenuous pressurized hulls.
Around a dozen species of hunters evolved into scavenger organisms, similar to floaters, that spend most of their existence in the lower layers almost at pyrolytic height and consume the organic compounds generated by the pyrolisis of other organisms.
