The Beshielach are a race engineered by the Great Houses into a weapon. This | The [[Beshielach]] are a race of "sentient [[planetesimal]]s" engineered by the Great Houses into a weapon. This somehow goes wrong, and the Beshielach become diplomats - helping with negotiations with forces in the [[Greater Autrobulan Cluster]] before being caught in an explosion and mostly caught into the gravity well of a brown dwarf. | ||
The entry in ''[[The Book of the War]]'' concerning the species is interrupted for one reader by [[Shift (Alien Bodies)|a Shift]] who, after pointing the reader to the entry on [[Shift|its kind]], begins to explain its own life story, saying that it remembers life as "a liquid process" and then being recruited into the War, with its biomass altered via an instantaneous process to become more solid. Immediately after thus being fundamentally changed by the [[Great House]]s, the Shift's story sees it sent to a battle in an ice-field on [[Simia KK98|one of the Simia worlds]]. However, it does not get far into its story before reluctantly allowing the reader to see a mostly unimpeded version of the end of the Beshielach entry. | |||
