The Seyek were @Iron Wolf's omake reward species, so cultural questions are probably best directed to him lol.
Yes, they are multi-world, but that shouldn't be taken to mean they're a baby great power. Still middle power level.

So, what are the Seyek like? Democratic? Do they all share a homeworld? How did they form as a nation? What do their constituent species look like? Does someone need to draw a UFP-tan with a Seyek-chan imouto

Seyek: Notice me, Senpai!
Ah, how I've WAITED to reveal this MASSIVE TWIST:
Anyways here's the creature template I sent to Oneiros:
Seyek
Nutshell: Inquisitive, Pragmatic Snake-People. Sneeple.
Canon/OC: OC
Homeworld: Rethelia
Alignment: Explorer
Tech: 2290's
Type: Reptilian/Snekoids
Distinctive Features: Big snakes with arms.
Social: Proportional Non-Representative Constitutional Monarchy
When transcribing Seyek speech, use an abundance of 's' noises as a sneaky way of emulating a hiss, because it's messy to write like "Sssssnakes sssssay thiissssssss especsssssically on 'ssssssoft' c' noissssessssss".
To answer some of the relevant questions: yes, Seyek are a democracy. A weird one though, that has some similarities to corporate shareholding. Basically, the vote share a party or candidate recieves, is directly the amount of voting power they have in government. Say party Party A received 40% of the vote, Party B 30%, and Candidate C 10%. A and C have only single representatives, while Party B has split it's influence among three members. In order for legislation for Party A to pass, it either needs the support of two members of B party, or a member of B party and C. Party A could also choose to split it's vote share 100 ways, with each member holding .1% of the influence, but that would be fucking crazy, probably. I'm sure some political scientist has come up with a term for this, but I can't find it, so here's a few I came up with: "Direct-indirect Democracy," "Proportional Oligarchy," "Proportional Non-Representative Democracy," and "Party Democracy." The latter in particular I think works because in such a system party politics would be how you actually get your favorite representative to the Union Council.
Seyek basically looked at their parliamentary democracies ending up highly whipped and said, "Right, if you're all going to vote in a bloc anyways, we might as well just cut out the middleman" because they're like that.
There is only one other species in the Seyek Union, the Fiiral. They look like this, because that's how they looked in my Stellaris game. The Fiiral were a spiritual monarchy that bordered on the Seyek EDIT: for clarity, in space. The Fiiral are from a separate planet. The science and rationalist minded Seyek could not abide to see these citizens living under the shackles of a false regime, and in the Fifth Seyek-Fiiral war formally annexed Fiiral space. What followed was several decades of unrest, as Fiiral made up around 25% of the total population now inside the Union. As a compromise, 50 years ago the Seyek reformed their government to put the formal Fiiral monarchy in place in a constitutionally-constrained head of state role. The Fiiral Monarch has some say in the government, particularly in procedural roles and as part of the judiciary (which I haven't fully worked out yet but i doubt it will matter). Seyek and Fiiral can force a monarch to abdicate by referendum, but cannot choose their successor. Needless to say, there is some tension inherent to this compromise. Tension that's possibly exploitable!
So the Seyek are kinda like the Federation... but much, much more problematic.
Have fun!

YEESSSS!! Fellow Stellaris player! Huzzah!
Ok, I'm done giggling, although I did have a brief panic attack when I confused "Deviant" with "Decadent".

@OneirosTheWriter do you have any big plot twists or revelations planned for the Apiata? If not, I'd like to write a Starfleet xenocultural assessment on them.
This. I've even been hearing a potential theme song in my head during the Nash logs. Fittingly, it's sort of a mix of the TNG and TOS versions.

No, nothing unusual or sinister, they're just sentient tsundere bees
No dread secrets. (Drones don't drop dead straight away is the only thing I'd make sure is clear).
Whoa. My last minute dark-horse suggestion actually won!
Yay Vulcan!

I don't know that we can use the Seyek much. CGI costs to animate all those giant snakes are crazy, and you know how actors hate playing against a greenscreen anyway. That's why for the Apiata, the make-up department stuck some antenna on them and called it a day.
that's what Animated Series' are for.
