Delucians

Delucians (or alternatively, the Utter-Butter) are the only natural inhabitants of the planet Delucia. Some would classify them as intelligent life, though their research often shows otherwise.

Biology
Delucian evolution is thought to have began when a small asteroid which had previously been orbited Barnard entered the planet's atmosphere. Scientists hypothesize that irradiated bacteria covering the asteroid's surface reacted with the planet's ammonia atmosphere, forming the initial seeds of multicellular life.

Because the asteroid's gravitational pull was of negligible amount and thus unable to form an atmosphere of any sort, and because of the density of the Delucian atmosphere where the asteroid sat, suspended on the planetary vapor cushion, the bacterial precursors of the Utter-Butter did not develop a dependence on gaseous nutrients. Instead, the Utter-Butter developed small phocelloplastic pores which transmute UV radiation into a type of electrical energy usable by Utter-Butter biology.

History and Society
Delucian society was originally relegated to The Life Rock, as the asteroid had become known, but has since sprawled into an infrastructure five miles in diameter and constituted of floating housing, tanning booths, and corporations, connected by small pathways and held aloft by electromagnetic stabilizers. Additionally, cardinal propulsors had been fitted to the Rock in support of steering, and the Glog Flammrippa Memorial Courthouse had been constructed on top of its location, where annucyclic meetings determine the city's course.

Delucian society does not only depend on the continuing radiation provided by the sun Bernard, but also their ability to synthesize building materials from the planet's sole natural resource, ammonia. In their thousands of years of existence, the Utter-Butter have become extremely proficient with nuclear sciences, manufacturing materials by picking apart and reconstructing atoms.

Gourmandor
Utter-Butter households and places of business are constructed with skylights, typically in self-sanctioned dining areas, and the designs of these skylights range from semi-hemispherical to flat planed. However, although Utter-Butter Delucians can thrive completely devoid of supplimentary sustenance, certain darkrooms called Tanning Booths have been constructed by the avant garde, where additional waves of light are combined with the standard UV and projected onto paying customers.

Because of the surge in this practice, and the society's issue with inflation, the We Make Tanning Booths And That's All company is currently the wealthiest Delucian company by a large margin.
