Especially since they are an isolationist species. Their home-planet [[Crysta Alpha]] lies deep within Federation space in the region near [[ma:Gamma_Tauri|Gamma Tauri]]. Invisible to most [[ma:Sensors|sensors]] and even to the naked eye most of the time, their world is considered quite astounding due to this natural phenomena. | ||

A very strange phenomena occures twice during its planetary cycle while circling their two stars, one a [[ma:Pulsar|pulsar]] and the other a [[ma:White_dwarf|white dwarf]]. It is at this time that the planet absorbs and reflects the stars light which makes it seem to illuminate from within. It is only at this time that the planet is easily visable to sensors or the naked eye. | ||
Despite | Despite their history as isolationist's, the Illumini are considered very wise when it concerns knowledge of the [[ma:Galaxy|galaxy]]. Several thinly veiled and vague references in obscure saga stories suggest that they are not naturally indigenous to our galaxy. However this has never been proven. For now they will remain just good bedtime stories or interesting tales of mystery. | ||

This mostly has to do with their history with other space-fairing species. Most other species have shown illogical and fear based responses inspired by the Illumini's odd bodily structure and appearance. | ||
