−
== Physiology & Ecology ==
 
−
A naturally occurring silicon-based form of life was discovered on [[Cymbeline (world)|Cymbeline]] in the [[Solomani Rim Sector|Solomani Rim]]. This lifeform was very different form of life than biological and did not conform to the conventional (...and biological) scientific definition of life.

−
These microchips possessed not much more than animal intelligence in the wild.
 
−
 
 
−
== Life Cycle & Reproduction ==
 
−
Their only need for raw material was for reproduction - chips to implant their own programming into. This lifeform was a sort of ergivore/phototroph, not previously known to science.
 
−
 
 
−
== Diet & Trophics ==
 
−
Although these silicon-based lifeform "[[Chip]]s" needed raw materials to survive as a species, they did not need it for their individual survival. Their power was electrical and was obtained and converted from the environment: from sunlight or geothermal heat.
