Fiction:Shellious Imperium



''' "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."

The Shellious Imperium (Also known as The Shellious or just The Imperium)is small but advanced empire in the core regions of Andromeda. The Imperium originally came from the now dead. During The Annihilation, the imperium relocated to the First Gigaquadrant and took the empty space in former Grox territory. The Imperium has taken on a policy of being tightly packed. They find colonizing inner planets and hiding your real numbers it to be a useful tactical advantage. They are currently protectorates of The.

Government
"Government is boring, isn't it."

The Shellious Imperium is a constitutional monarchy made up of a senate and grand council that make laws under the imperial family.

The Imperial House
The Executive Branch is filled by the royal family. The position of emperor is decided by bloodline. The role of emperor will be given to the eldest child at the age of 19, or if impossible the closest living relative or a high official. If the bloodline of the royal family is broken with no remaining family members, the military power will be given to the high admiral of the army. Currently if this were to happen the empress would be. The supreme chancellor of the senate will act as head of state till a new bloodline is chosen through psionic blood rights and senate election. However the protection given to the senate and the royal family is large enough that this has only happened twice in the entire history of the Shellious Imperium. The emperor and his family each cast a vote in the senate that count more than the others but can still be overturned by the shear number of people in the senate. The emperor and empress decide when to go to war and can overturn the senate's decisions if needed.

The Senate
The Legislative Branch of the Imperium holds the senate. Each of the Imperium races elects 2 senators every time a old one dies or resigns. The senate decides what laws to pass out and many of the problems that appear in the shellious economy and trade companies. Each section of the Imperium elects a representative that works in the senate and on things going on in their respective systems. Decisions made by the council and senate in unity can overturn the emperor's commands when required. New laws passed through the senate are then sent to the grand council and emperor to be officially placed. The supreme chancellor of the imperium senate is in charge of economics and law discussions during the senate meetings. The senate has the ability to temporarily give the chancellor the place of the emperor if the current ruler is missing or captured by enemy civilizations until found.

The Grand Council
After laws are voted by the senate, they are passes to the grand council of 12 along with the Imperial House. The council acts as the approval and rejection of laws and military acts that control the Imperium's welfare. They vote on weather or not they pass out laws after a few senators or representatives send the law form up the the council room on the first tower in the Shellis Spire. Imperial family members and council members get a vote that counts more than the senators when deciding laws. Economics are done regardless of the council's votes.

Senators

Economy
The shellious have a mixed economy. Citizens are free to earn work and earn money. People can spend the money on recreation or use it to pay their taxes. Businesses gain money as required to support their needs by the government. The access to bountiful recourses allows little need for trade. However some technology requires foreign trade.

Trade Routes
Name: Wentals-Shellious Trade Route Locations: ? Value (Gre'ush): 20 trillion Age: 2 Importance: Vital Governments:, Shellious Imperium Used By: All Traded Item(s): Tech, Resources, Planet Specific Goods, Cultural Goods, Info, Military Craft

Technology
Shellious are very unknown in terms of technology, yet there technology is what makes them famous. Due to the wide interactions between empires, they have acquired many forms of odd and complicated technology.

Military
The Shellious normally don't care what happens to other races and remain neutral most of the time. They do however have a strong military if you manage to get noticed. Small or primitive empires usually don't get their attention. Despite liking peace, enemy empires face people that will not leave anything left of them but DNA samples and and stories if they got the chance.

History
The Shellious have a strong history that lasted millennia even after space. From the 3 billion years of evolution to the 2.4 million years of sentience. They recorded every significant event from the first non-migration exploration of the home planet to the wars of the modern age. Shellis itself has recorded events from billions of years before the shellious themselves. However they did not find anything interesting in the databank, apart from the knowledge of extinct races.

Territory
The Shellious control a medium amount of space around the first gigaquadrant. Though the population is only on some planets, there are also a few slave worlds with many mining areas filled with criminals for punishment or androids. The main planets are normally covered by endless cities and trade docks for offworld resources. Shellious have their main territory in The Milky Way, Andromeda, and Bunsen

"An interesting empire. Powerful, yet mostly pacifistic. We are glad for their help in the past."

- Emperor Mercuris XXI

"Hmm... A young nation with the potential to become an intergalactic power. It's too bad they had to ally the Wentals and antagonize us. What a shame."

- Captain Lorrelas of the TIAF

"They are fellow Wentalians, born of the Wental Galaxy, and as such are under the protection of myself and all who follow me."

"The Shellious Imperium is old, and powerful. They do not like war, as is in the nature of all native born Wentals, but they do shy not away from it. They are worthy allies."
