Xyenal Haluk society is extremely structured and insular. Outsiders, wether organic or sentient in nature, are respectfully but forcefully discouraged from interfering with their grand works. Such incidental contacts have, apart from a few tragic miscommunications around the time of first contact, always been limited to diplomatic exchanges.

The guard-planets appear to be entirely self-sufficient, harvesting the resources required for their continued operation from gas giants and asteroid fields in unclaimed regions of space. Cursory scans of these giant structures has revealed their interiors to consist of thousands of miles of superconductor circuitry linking together thousands of processing units and memory banks.

I felt like expanding on the inner workings of how a society of sentient artificial planets would function in the greater universe.

The qulseoc are a highly intelligent species of amphibian mollusks originating from the ocean world of Krillen-3. They are relative newcomers on the galactic stage, yet their revolutionary technology and ability to incorporate existing knowledge flawlessly has seen them quickly rise to a major player on the galactic stage.

The typical qulseoc stands between 80 centimeters to a meter, though they often appear even smaller than this due to moving in what can best be described as a slimy crawl. Their bodies are brightly colored in a variety of hues dependent on their emotional state. As body color is an integral part of conveying emotion to a qulseoc they are somewhat infamous for their lack of clear intonation that is difficult to rectify even with modern translation software. Similiarly the qulseoc themselves often find themselves flabbergasted at the idea of conveying a range of emotions with one's voice alone.
