Mythology
Brightspeed's homeworld is always illuminated by neon lights, causing outworlders to sometimes mistake Iklipsyami for a sun instead of a planet.
The atmosphere of Brightspeed's homeworld is filled with a gas called Lumin Luxide, a gas with similar properties to phosphorus and neon gases. As a result, the planet's inhabitants are always charged with enough power to keep them active.
