The Shellious Imperium is the governing body that controls Shellious space. The Shellious are a small empire and are not the most powerful,but they still are not an enemy you want. They have a high reputation in the second gigaquadrant and even more in the wental galaxy. Though their power only extends to the wental sector of the gigaquadrant,they are powerful with their weapons and android army. The shellious commonly travel through the universe spreading life and knowledge to barren planets. They uplifted many races in the zheno minor galaxy. The shellious are noted to mutate and shape the evolution of creatures throughout the universe. Many uplifted races join the imperium. They have few living on shellis. The Shellious control some planets in a different way than most empires. Instead of conquering or converting planets, they leave them in control of other empires while also having some moderate juristiction. They leave embassies on some worlds aswell as buying some for the main empire.

Government
In the Shellious Imperium,areas of shellis 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 has 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 make their own laws with the help of their home empire's leader.

Shellis
Shellis is the homeworld and capital of the shellious imperium. Shellis is covered by oceans and large cities that support a population of trillions. The surface of shellis is almost always raining. The clouds of shellis cover the planet enough to make temperature above average planetary temerature and make the lower levels of the underwater ecomonpolis neversee sunlight. 1 Billion years ago a gas giant collided with shellis forming a massive atmoshere twice the size of shellis's original. The atmosphere contains bubble life and floating city that adds to the population. Later the shellious raised the sea level to comfort the people. Gravity is low on the higher levels of the city and many must wear heavy tunics to walk outside with comfort. The high atmoshpere also holds the spire. The spire is a large towering rock that extends from the low sky to the upper city in the shellis ocean. The spire contains the Imperial Palace and the senate chambers. Shellis is in fact a gaia world that has a mind of its own. It's mind is the reason for the shellis religion. Do to this shellis is never in the same place for more than 75 hours(one shellis day).Shellis moves around the shellis area of conrtol commonly and the shellious respect their planets curiosity. Shellis days last 75 hours with 38 hours of sunlight.Shellis itself is a astral phenomina. The center of Shellis has a solid but hollow core were creatures can communicate with Shellis itself to a higher degree than normal. Shellis has tan colored seabottoms with tunnels that lead through areas protected from magma. The shellious built this to reach the core of shellis. Shellis's core holds a hot temple were high ranking shellous can communicte with Shellis. Shellis is considered female in personality by the shellious but it physiclly has none. Shellious also has some tropical islands in the great ocean. Shellis has 1 main moon that controls it's tids and 27 smaller moons that orbit it but are small enough that they are not visable from a distance and do not affect gravity on the planet.

Rings
The rings of shellious contain many sattelites and asteroid mines. Much of it is also the building place of ships,androids,and other shellian technology. The shipyards are the largest in the empire. The stations and shipyards are hidden from view because of the ring's thickness.

Undercity
The undercity is a worn down area of abandoned buildings from the dark age of the shellious. The undercity is home to some shellious that went insane do to the enviornment. The undercity is small compared to the rest of the city and has many of the unstable mutations created by shellian biotech.

Arcatecture
The outer layers of their buildings are grey and dull. They are normally shaped to look like the shell of a mollisc. The insides are white and have no color. Shellious however 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.

Movies among shellious are commonly for educational purpose and rarely provide entertainment.

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 spiting.

The shellious use biotech at large. A small amount shellious machines are really semi living. An example is that cameras may have cornias to capture photos that would'nt show up using the average media tech. Most are plants that use the closest star as a power source for their function. Commonly they use it to alter the evolution of themselves and other creatures. They also have this to use the essance of non-sentient creatures as a power source though rare. The shellious commonly alter creatures' evolution. Shellious also 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.
