Pitian silicon-based organism

The Pitian silicon-based organism or just organism was a quasi-sentient, non-humanoid, silicon-based lifeform located in the Pitio mining planet 54 light years from Earth.

The organism and all known members were over 5,000 years in age, most likely starting off at the size as a few silicone polymers. By the 25th century it had developed to a macroscopic level and had a very unique structure.

Biology
The organism was made up of multiple systems mostly for metabolism, protection, and basic life functions (communication, rest, movement, etc). Although silicon-based it was made up of 4 different elements, mostly used as bio-electrical conductors, secondary and tertiary materials in the composition of the organisms cells, etc.

The most intrinsic system, metabolism, was regulated by long-chain anionic silicon (dubbed poly-silicate) which used additional electrons to conduct bio-electricity. That which was produced after breaking down external bio-matter (see environmental needs) and using the power from that to power the organism.

The transfer of the bio-electricity was deposited in other systems and subunits of the organism along the way of the poly-silicate, finally meeting up in a node in the middle of the body which was the center of the organisms metabolism.
