"Your Excellency, Commander, you have awakened. For the next four thousand years, the fleet's work will be under your direction."
In the dark void, a vast fleet was rapidly shuttling along at 213.75 times the speed of light in warp. The one speaking was a Sentient Life with four arms. However, he had no feet, but instead a lower body like a snake's tail. When he moved, he swayed that lower body, twisting along like an upright snake.

The interior of the spaceship did not have the flat, hard flooring suited for walking on two feet, but rather a soft, adhesive gelatinous material. This kind of floor allowed bodies structured like snake tails to increase their contact area while moving, thereby enabling swift movement.
Of course, "adhesive" was only in relation to humans. For this lifeform, the material did not stick to their skin.
Although they had already entered the interstellar age, and with their technology they could absolutely float along if they wished, they were still accustomed to using the same floor form they had used when they had first stepped into the interstellar era—just as humans were accustomed to setting the Gravity Environment inside their spaceships to Earth's gravity.
