Saiorean Phoenix Crafting

Littered across Saiorea's garbage-pile surface are the fossilised remains of creatures across the Milky Way. A saiorean phoenix is a mishmash of various bones dug up from these garbage piles, pieced together in an effort to construct a creature of one's imaginations.

Tales of an extinct species, the saiorean phoenix, are common on the planet and those that frequent it. Most know the creature never existed, but enjoy imagining what could have been.

Saiorea

With thousands of planets having achieved spacefaring technology and relying on non-renewable resources, pollutive waste is an everlooming threat. Thousands of councils across the Milky Way have agreed upon designating specific lifeless planets as 'Trash Planets', places to offload trillions of tonnes of waste material to forever be forgotten about.

Saiorea is one of these trash planets, having turned from a barren desert planet to one covered in garbage, miles thick. Saiorea orbits Eseo, a brown dwarf star in the Radium Cluster of the Lesser Field.

Saiorea's thin atmosphere meant that few lifeforms could survive. Native lifeforms are hardy and have survived the complete transformation of the planet, withstanding horrific amounts of water, land, air, and sound pollution.

Origin

Crafting a phoenix has been a practice for thousands of years, common among junk bandits as they tear through Saiorea's garbage, looking for treasure. Many bandits carry a small phoenix in their spacecraft as a memento of the planet.

Saiorean phoenixes became popular around five thousand years ago, with the original design featuring random bones of over a hundred different species. Genetic analyses showed several of the bones were oanie in origin. The phoenix was decorated with an assortment of plastic materials, mimicking feathers. Different crystalline fragments and paints were used to give the phoenix life.

Using Different Bones

Ew, is that a humanoid skull?  
Yeah... I couldn't find anything else.

Which bones are used does not matter; since the species never existed, there is no point aiming for anatomical accuracy.

While some creators do strive to use realistic looking fossils, such as using avian bones, others use whatever they can find. Some of the more peculiar bones have alerted the Milky Way Waste Disposal Council, which have undergone investigations as to their origin.

Reports of humanoid skulls used saiorean phoenixes caused the Disposal Council to uncover a massive illegal trade system taking place on Saiorea 184 years ago. Over ten thousand endangered animals from nine hundred planets were rescued and distributed to wildlife sanctuaries around the galaxy.

What a fascinating ritual. It reminds me slightly of fake mermaids made by sailors, for example Jenny Hanivers.

The original idea came from how original dinosaur fossils were so incorrectly reconstructed :D
