Religion

Religion is very important for the Shi’Ar. Their believes are based on the marriage of Sharra and K’ythri, two gods who didn’t want to be married but were forced into it. In marriage they found strength and in that strength they found love. Finally both gods benefited from their forced union.

The theme of this legend has become a central concept of Shi’Ar politics. They encounter other races in space and force them into "marriage", into joining the Empire, wether they want to or not. The Shi’Ar believe the process to be justified, as they have become the biggest Empire in the known universe and the various alien races are provided with anything that they need. However these oppressed races loose their individuality and freedom as their cultures and governments are adapted to Shi’Ar structures.

Crystal Claws

The Crystal Claws are a religious sect that expects the Forsaken One (Adam-X, the secret son of former Emperor D’Ken) to take over the Shi’Ar Empire one day. They even temporarily allied themselves with Kree radicals to instigate discontent with Lilandra’s rule.

Legends

Within the vast Shi'Ar empire, there are many tales and rumors that are passed down from one generation to the next. Following these old stories, former Emperor D’ken discovered the location of the legendary M’Kraan Crystal, often described as the “end of all there is“. If not for the X-Men, D’Ken’s tampering would have unleashed the crystal’s destructive energies.

Another time Deathbird solved the mystery of an old rumour regarding a power source called Phalkon. Actually it was nothing else than the birdshaped Phoenix Force, that had been seen soaring through the universe centuries ago.
