A little more about the Qoati, early ideas really.

Qoati Replicants

The Qoati are my precursor species of aliens that once had a civilization across the galaxy. (really the only species known of that had a civilization that large). They have some bizarre technology, many of which defies our understanding of physics. These are essentially robots, created by the Qoati, millions of years ago to manage Interspace (an artificial alternate dimension) and part of their strange appearance is because, they can freely move between interspace and normal space. Some replicants are actually 6th dimensional constructs that can only exists across both interspace and normal space

As to what their made off, well that's anyone guess. But its definitely not matter that's for sure.

Design wise, I want Qoati tech to look ambiguous, almost as if your looking at something recognizable but also not really. Is this a living thing, or a statue?, what am i even looking at, kind of vibes.

Yet another species from my extra-firm sci-fi setting.

These are the Qoati an now-extinct species of sophonts who used to hold a rather large civilization across most of locale space, and were highly technologically advanced. Biologically they are colonial organisms, similar to siphonophores and are comprised of multiple smaller semi-independent organisms called zooids all of which are held together in a shell/skeleton made out of a material structurally similar to dried balsa wood. While the exact location of their homeworld is unknown, they did have a preference for high gravity terrestrial worlds.

Qoati drivers, are specialized zooid which have senses, such as eyes that help to navigate the colony, but they aren't the actual brains of the qoati. Those are instead a collection of worm-like zooids which act as the main cognitive group of the colony. In truth the Qoati sense of self is rather fluid, as while they do have a central brain, they also technically think with their entire body, and can share their zooids with other members of their species.
