-Commissioned by an anonymous contractor -- rumored to be one of the Elders, but the rumor was quietly quelled -- the Melumsi Shell Mark 1 exoform was one of a series of experiments to find a host body that was stable enough for permanent [[species:melumsi|Melumsi]] inhabitation that could also be mass-produced. While these conditions were met in the Exoform Prototype 7 (EP-7) -- it matched the Werashi in all ways as a host -- work continued as the team set about creating an EP-8, which featured abilities beyond what the Werashi could provide.+Commissioned by an anonymous contractor -- rumored to be one of the Elders, but the rumor was quietly quelled -- the Melumsi Shell Mark 1 exoform was one of a series of experiments to find a host body that was stable enough for permanent [[species:retired:melumsi|Melumsi]] inhabitation that could also be mass-produced.

 While the development of the EP-8 was underway, Dr. Jal created a variant for his personal use that included his KINESI System. The EP-8m is a military-grade model with greatly enhanced abilities (see [[items:kinesis|KINESI System]] for details), of which there was only one, and that was taken with Araiah when he was exiled. While the development of the EP-8 was underway, Dr. Jal created a variant for his personal use that included his KINESI System.

-The Mark 1 Melumsi Shell exoforms (MeSh-1, the production title of the EP-8) were enhanced organic bodies, readily manufactured and very close to Yamatian bodies in terms of strength and disease/poison/damage resistance. A MeSh-1's appearance is fully customizable according to the user's preferences, but only during the final preparations. Once a form is finalized, it cannot be changed except by a special sort of plastic surgery due to its accelerated regeneration.+The Mark 1 Melumsi Shell exoforms (MeSh-1, the production title of the EP-8) were enhanced organic bodies, readily manufactured and very close to Yamataian bodies in terms of strength and disease/poison/damage resistance.
