Fiction:Shellious Imperium

 ''' "We are the Shellious. We come in peace...for now." '''

"We are not trying to get to the top.We are simply trying to stop others from getting to our level.Then no creature can harm us."

- Emperor Edoshai

The Shellious Imperium is the governing body that controls Shellious space. The Shellious are a large empire spread throughout the first gigaquadrant. The imperium most powerful but are still are not an enemy you want. They had a high reputation in the second gigaquadrant and even more in the wental galaxy before it was destroyed. They are powerful with psionics and can easily best the creatures who are much bigger than themselves. The Imperium is made up of a original empire and 4 seperate races that joined together in early space exploration. The shellious commonly traveled through the universe spreading life to barren planets. They uplifted many races in the wental galaxy. The shellious were noted to mutate and shape the evolution of creatures throughout the universe. Many uplifted races joined the imperium. They had few living on shellis. They lost the creatures in a revoly against them later in their history. The Shellious controled some planets in a different way than most empires. Instead of conquering or converting planets, they left them in control of other empires while also having some moderate juristiction. They left embassies on some worlds aswell as buying some for the main empire. The shellious no longer live like this as the creatures they uplifted revolted and drove the shellious to another part of wental.

Government
In the Shellious Imperium areas of shellious space each elect a member of a the council of 12 on Shellis. They make all minor decicions that concern their desegnated areas. Major decicions that affect the entire empire are made by an emperor supported by the high council. The emperor decides when to go to war and what laws are past out. Decicions made by the council in unity can overturn the emperor's commands. Each lower member of the imperium before it lost its followers had a senator and 2 representatives in the spire's senate chamber. In the spire many of the shellian laws are passed out to the rest of the empire. Separate members in the senate chamber originally their own laws with the help of their home empire's leader. each of the 5 races have council members in the high part of the senate.

Buildings
The outer layers of their buildings are grey and dull. They are normally shaped to look like the shell of a mollusc. The insides are white and have no color, however the shellious can see outside the visible light spectrum and see the white as vibrent color and art. The buildings normaly have imbeded lamps and other forms of tiny light. Like some of the shellian technology,buildings will sometimes play music when small parts of the walls are interacted with.

Multimedia
Shellian technology and buildings commonly play music. Shellian music is different in the fact that it remains soft and slow underwater. Because it is in shellious tounge it is not very pleasant without liquid surrounding. Shellian music is considered very odd among some empires as it has low and quiet sounds and sudden bursts of high pitched sounds that can sometimes not be heard.

Shellious Language
Shellious Tongue is the primary language of the imperium. It's origins date back to the great war. It comes from the fusion of the 5 shellious languages when the planet was covered by city. Unless water is present over the speaker it will sound like very unpleasent spitting.

Military Technology
Shellious have a small,but powerful galactic security used for hostile empire that threaten the empire. Shellious use android shellious as soldiers to prevent death to their own people. Their android army is also used in exploration as defense incase of hostile races.

Nanotech
Shellious use nanobots in their daily lives but suspended research do to their encounter with the quantumhorde. The Shellious use nanomachines to fast colonize,build and repair buildings,ships,and even creatures like most empires,but are more flexable to their uses.Commonly they use it to alter the evolution of themselves and other creatures.The shellious commonly alter creatures' evolution. The shellious also use biotech for their ships and housing.

History
The Shellious have a strong history that lasted milennia even after space. From the 3 billion years of evolution to the 3 billion years of senteince.

Evolution and Prehistoric History
The shellious evolved to their current forms at this time as outside their home other civilizations evolve to one day meet.

The shellious started off diferent. Unlike most creatures they evolved from psionic energy not unlike creatures such as the civatron or vyro,narza. They started of as a water salamander with bony covering on it's back to protect it from predetors. They later grew stronger shells and the external gill on the back of their heads shortned. The next fase of shellious evolution gave them lungs due to the shortage of life supporting water.

On other worlds the seperate races of the imperium evolved. The Kayio have not changed much in body shape for millions of years during the time. The yurgo never bothered to care what their past was like and it remains a mystery. The Valeel and Kader both evolved from a common lampray like ancestor.

Tribal Age
Before the empire a race of sentients entered civilization and spread influence to the far reaches of the galaxy and constucted a small amount of relic technology that would later aid the shellious's advancement but died out for unknown reasons. Later on shellis the shellious and 4 races entered their tribal stages on shellis and it's moons. During this time the kaiyo were aware of space civilizations and treated them like gods while the planet colided with a gas giant and caused a mass extinction on shellis. No other astral events cause death in this age.

Middle Age
During this time the Shellious Tribal Age ends and the kingdoms of shellis are united. A monolith was left by the aliens that visisted shellis in the tribal age was activated in this time and led to the awakening of the planetary AI. By this time the Shellious have started counting the years by lunar cycles. They still however have not used a world wide time system yet. The Yurgo and kaiyo now use common machines and astronomers prove the existance of an ancient race from the far part of the galaxy. During this time the two races that currently dicovered space travel have studied the planetary enviornments of the Kader and Valeel homeworld. The other 3 races were still on their way to advanced civilization. The Kader and Valeel were a teir U empire that used the oceans to spread colonies. They were still not space faring though. The Shellious had natural advantages that made them have little need for devices that helped them. The civilization at this time finally used some forms of machines for travel and daily labor.

Civilization
The modern era of the shellious existance and the golden days of the race. By this age the shellious use their planitary reasearch faculties to advance up the evolutionary ladder. Later the civilization uses a time system to count the years they have lived in unity. In 123 they launched the first spacecraft and later colonized some of the moons. They then came into contact with the other races. The Kader and Valeel had split and colonized seperately and had redused contact. The Yurgo and Kaiyo civilizations formed an alliance and gladfully greeted their new neighbor. The 2 other races went to war. The shellious later met the first empire from outside the system that were also the same race that was in space before the shellious tribal age. They later gained a alliance but went to war with their intergactic cousins.

Galactic Era
This is the modern age of the Shellious. In this timeline the Shellious complete their android army and form a marvelious empire from the races around the sector. The shellious get in to many wars during this era. The Shellious Imperium joined a alliance with the other races. The Kader and Valeel had trouble with the alliance and did not join together. The war later subsided and the shellious later began uplifting alien races and formed a large alliance led by the 5 races.
