Bellebees are gas filled entities reaching sizes of 800-900 meters in diameter and float in the oxy gas layer of their home world. They are able to withstand storms of 1200km/hrs wind speeds and harvest a form of floating plankton for sustenance. They are highly intelligent but have no extremities, no eyes and no ears. They communicate with each other using radio waves. The Bellebees knew about other sentient life forms before a Union Explorer discovered them, but  they have no way of describing the previous visitors. The Bellebees were eager to join  the Union and wanted to do their share of contributing to the Union Civilization as a whole. Their size and environmental needs prevented them from leaving their world (unil 4100) and their lack of senses and extremities prevented them from using any sort of technology. Dr. Isah came up with modified Hover platforms where Bellebees could “dock” and use GalNet. The Bellebees do not forget and have the capability to share memories with all members of their society. They can remember the most intricate detail over many million years. Once they were able to  grasp the concepts of form, sight, sound and so forth they became the Unions Record Keepers and do so with great dilligence, but their greatest gift to the Union Community are their analytical minds and the capacity to learn and understand even the most complicated concepts. The Bellebees are an enormous think tank and often used to contemplate complex problems. Bellebees have the most brilliant mathematicians and are among the most advanced mathematicans in the known Universe ( reaching Narth Levels of understanding) As they had nothing else to do with their intellect but think about math for untold millenia. It is a little known fact but it is in no small part  the Bellebee contribution that allowed the Union to advance so fast in technology and science.

Today there are a several Bellebee Colonies on other suitable Gas Giants and there are several special Space ships (Belle-Blimps) in which they can travel.
