'''Yeros Demio Kalama''' (born '''Yeros Kalama Demio'''; July 9, 2306–July 22, 2487) was a [[Krybolotinian]] revolutionary and the first Grand Commander of the [[Krybolotinian Imperium]]. Being the founding Commander of the nation, Kalama was responsible for the long and deadly Krybolotinian Civil War as well as the enslavement of billions of non-Kryboltinian individuals for economic benefit. Kalama is widely regarded as one of the most brutal dictators in history and numerous psychologists and historians have considered him an embodiment of totalitarianism. His role in the spread and strengthening of Tydoba-Odeaism was not only crucial to the formation of the Krybolotinian Imperium and the centuries of racial injustice that followed it, but also to a long-standing religious divide among Odeaists that manifested itself in numerous conflicts and riots that most likely resulted in thousands of more deaths long after the Imperium fell.

Kalama was born on July 6, 2306 on the [[Krybolotinian Republic]]'s colony of Colarium, and was thus exposed to other species and the racial tension between Krybolotinians and Surmestos from a very early age. Throughout his childhood, he endured a number of emotional and physical hardships, including a blizzard in 2323 that may have caused him mental damage. As he grew older, Kalama grew to resent Surmestos and eventually every species other than the Krybolotinians. As a result, he grew attracted to Tydoba-Odeaism, a sect of [[Odeaism]] that promoted radical pro-Krybolotinianism and subjugation of all other races. His ideas appealed to the long-suffering population of the Salboria system who quickly grew to like Kalama and he was elected to be the Legislator for the system. Despite facing much opposition from the majority Ertoma-Odeaist population of the Republic, Kalama continued to gain favor among the growing Tydoba-Odeaistic population and regularly attended religious conventions and councils. He was eventually appointed Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, by potentially fraudulent means, and would later ascend to the seat of Prime Legislator upon the assassination of his predecessor, Oros De'aka Foresa. Now having significant political influence within the nation, Kalama began to rally more and more support among the Krybolotinian population, and his party won seats in several formerly Ertoma-Odeaist star systems.

After an attempt on his life by a Surmesto, which left him seriously injured, Kalama retaliated by releasing a poison into Colarian municipal plumbing that resulted in the gruesome deaths of most of the Surmestan population. At this point Kalama declared that he no longer felt that him and his people were protected by the Krybolotinian Republic and proceeded to form the Krybolotinian Imperium. Upon the formation of the Imperium, Kalama quickly gained control of Colarium but was met with fierce retaliation by the Republic's army. However, in the ensuing civil war, Kalama repeatedly outsmarted Krybolotinian forces and attacked the non-Krybolotinian peoples by targeting specific biological weaknesses of theirs. Through brute force and immense loss of life, Kalama conquered all of the Republic's former territory, turned the remaining loyalist population into supporters through intense propaganda, and began his official rule as Grand Commander of the Krybolotinian Imperium.

As Commander of the Imperium, Kalama ruled with an iron fist. He led numerous propaganda campaigns in his early years of rule to strengthen his rule and approval among the population. He then began utilizing censorship to block out any content or creators deemed to be contrary to interests of the Imperium. He also suppressed freedom of speech and imposed harsh penalties against anti-Imperial activists that could range from severe fines to spending time in a labor camp. Over the course of the 25th century, Kalama gained complete control over the Imperium and all of its territories and rebel activity had been all but snuffed out entirely. Kalama rejected freedom of religion and mandated that all Imperial citizens follow Tydoba-Odeaism or any practically similar Odeaistic sect (which were clearly defined by the government). Despite Yeros's efforts, he was never able to eliminate all opposition against the Imperium and spent much of his rule trying to get rid of the last rebel groups, a task which both he and subsequent Grand Commanders were unable to complete.

Yeros Kalama was killed on July 22, 2487 during the Salboria Space Station Attack, an act of uncharacteristic violence by the Krybolotinians for Liberty organization. He was succeeded, in accordance with Imperial law, by his eldest child Anderaav Demio Kalama.

== Ancestry ==
Yeros Demio Kalama is a member of the Kalama form and is thus a direct descendant of Odeais's daughter Kalama. He was the third child of entrepreneur and business owner Divio Kalama Demio (2252–2323) and aspiring chef Ulira Kalama Aldagora Demio (2257–2331). He had three siblings: Haxan Kalama Demio (2290–2372), Sivia Kalama Demio (2303–2323), and Holiste Kalama Demio (2310–2327). Being a member of the Kalama form, Yeros used his heritage to explain the importance he placed on form-based careers: members of the Kalama form were generally expected to take political or propaganda-related jobs. because of this, Yeros pressured citizens of the Imperium to pursue jobs related to their forms' stereotypical roles.

== Early life and childhood ==
=== Birth and early years ===
Yeros Kalama Demio was born on July 9, 2306 in the city of Lavassia on the planet of Colarium. Colarium was within the district of Salboria, which comprised of the star Salboria, its planets, and all other bodies within the system. From a very young age, Yeros displayed signs of extreme intelligence, and his parents enrolled him in primary school at just 5 years old—two years before most Krybolotinian children. Instructors recalled that he was by far the brightest of his pupils and constantly under challenged by his work. Other instructors noted that Kalama especially enjoyed logic puzzles and other sorts of actvities that involved high levels of strategy and comprehensive thinking.

Yeros and his family lived in a two-story family home near the mountainous outskirts of Lavassia, and the young Kalama was reported to spend hours wandering the woods with his older sister Sivia. His father entertained a number of nature-related hobbies, including gardening, hunting, and fishing, which he taught to his children.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as a Child.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Kalama in a school photo taken in 2316.]]
Early on, Yeros was exposed to the social divide between Krybolotinians and Surmestos, a purple gelatinous race that was introduced to Colarium by the Krybolotinians for them to provide resources and materials to the Krybolotinian Republic. Though the two species largely lived in different parts of the planet and rarely crossed paths, there was evident tension between them when they did. In early conversations with his parents, Yeros expressed a harsh attitude towards Surmestos, which they were quick to discourage.

Yeros's family were practicing Ertoma-Odeaists, and so he regularly attended an Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiel and partook in religious observances. He later remarked that his religious upbringing had taught him to be compassionate with other Krybolotinians but also that he began to look down on all other species.

=== Adolescence ===
In 2318, when Yeros was 12 years old, his parents began having marital issues after Divio discovered Uliira had been having an extramarital affair. Though this in itself was not usually a marriage-ending revelation in Krybolotinian culture, Uliira had also been considering leaving Divio and eloping with her other partner. After undergoing marriage counseling and trying to fix their relationship, Divio and Uliira separated and were officially divorced in January of 2319. The two decided to split custody of their children equally: each parent would have two of the children at any time and would then swap custody every eight months. Notably, Yeros ended up being separated from his sister Sivia, which outside observers noted seemed to devastate him. Uliira, Yeros, and Holiste moved to an apartment in downtown Lavassia whereas Divio, Sivia, and Haxan moved to a more spacious farmhouse in the countryside. This arrangement, however, did not last long: Divio was offered a job in Trymentatine and soon moved to the planet.

In the year 2322, Uliira began suffering from financial troubles and sent Yeros to live with his father for a year in order to gain her bearings. Yeros, wanting to see Sivia again, readily accepted the offer and departed that April. The trip was a positive experience for Yeros at first, but soon the long Trymentatinian winter set in. Due to Trymentatine's high axial tilt and slightly elliptical orbit, the northern hemisphere of Trymentatine (where the Kalama family lived) experienced warm summers followed by bitterly cold and long winters. Though most people migrated to the southern hemisphere for that time (which was in summertime and significantly warmer), Divio stayed in the north to take advantage of lucrative ice mining opportunities.

In March of 2323, in during the coldest part of the winter, a strong winter storm formed and swept across much of the planet's northern hemisphere. Though residents were advised to evacuate ahead of the storm, Divio chose to stay for now-unknown reasons. Yeros, Sivia, and Haxan begged him to reconsider, but he wasn't swayed and the Kalama family remained where they were. By the time the storm reached their area, it had gained incredible strength and began to destroy their home. Divio and Sivia attempted to escape through to a more hospitable location, but were both lost to the storm and never seen again.

In the meantime, Yeros and his brother Haxan remained at the house while it was being torn apart. The two descended into the basement for protection from the snow, but the extremely cold temperatures there caused severe hypothermia despite the two starting a fire. Yeros fainted sometime during the blizzard and may have suffered a stroke at this time, though the specifics are unclear. The storm eventually passed after about a day, at which point Haxan rushed Yeros to a hospital, where he was treated for the cold shock and remained there for over a week as he recovered. In the ensuing search-and-rescue efforts, Divio's car was found about four miles away from the house, and a set of footprints was found leading into a large cave system where it is likely the two Krybolotinians perished from the cold or some sort of aggressive cave animal.

Upon being discharged from the hospital, Yeros and Haxan returned to Colarium to live with their mother, who continued to suffer from financial troubles and eventually turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Yeros had apparently become a different person entirely; teachers and peers noted that he had completely shifted his demeanor and shut people out. Where he was once a high-achieving and happy student, he had become more lazy and reclusive. He displayed a complete lack of social qualities, ignoring people who tried to talk with him and acting generally abrasive towards everyone he knew. Though many of his teachers expressed concern over what had happened, Uliira was far too depressed herself to notice or care.

In 2327, when Yeros was 21 years old, their mother got into a physical altercation with Holiste and accidentally stabbed him. Yeros and Haxan both fled the scene and called the police, and Uliira was arrested. Holiste died a few days later from his wounds and Uliira committed suicide shortly after finding out. Yeros and Haxan moved in together, but the two eventually separated after Haxan expressed concerns about his the Yeros's mental state and how it may have affected his newborn child.

Notably, in order to avoid entering the foster system (as he was still legally a Krybolotinian minor until he turned 25), Yeros declared financial and legal independence and took up a part-time job at a delivery center. In this way, Yeros made enough money to rent a low-end apartment in the inner city.

=== Independent life ===
According to friends, Yeros experienced some sort of spiritual revival in 2329, when he was 22 years old. He allegedly began attending Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiels and even started partaking in more religious observances. However, he also wrote about being frustrated by the passivity of Ertoma-Odeaism, saying that he wanted to find an Odeaistic sect that brought "proper retribution to non-Krybolotinians".

This belief was only further strengthened when, in early 2330, Yeros was making a delivery to a part of the planet largely inhabited by Surmestos and was attacked by a group of them when re-entering his truck. He escaped with moderate injuries but had to leave the truck behind, and all of the goods he had been carrying were stolen. In order to pay back his employer for the loss, Yeros's pay was docked for a few months and he struggle to pay his rent. After receiving aid from both his employer and his landlord Yeros was able to remain in his apartment and recovered from the financial loss rather quickly, but the harsh treatment of the Surmestos toward him likely stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Immediately after the attack, Yeros stopped regularly attending his sactiel and seemingly experienced a sort of paranoid breakdown. His brother later recalled conversations the two had where Yeros described feeling lost and surrounded by threats. Some analysts have drawn this up to psychological trauma caused by the attack, whereas othera believed it was a physiological, consequence of brain damage he had received during the blizzard. Either way, Yeros spent about three months in this state during 2330.

As time passed, Yeros slowly began to recover from his mental struggles but never returned to his original sactiel. For some time in 2330 and 2331, he became irreligious and opposed the idea of rejoining any sactiel for fear of supporting their message of acceptance. He began studying at the Lavassian Technical Institute and worked to earn a Institutional Certification in Biolotechnology, specifically focusing the anatomy of Krybolotinians and other species inhabiting the Republic. As time passed, Yeros's segregatory beliefs drew him to the Restoration Party, a political organization in Krybolotine hoping to restore direct Krybolotinian rule over the planet with the other species and push Odeiasm on them. The form of Odeaism they supported, however, was called Tydoba-Odeaism, differing from Ertoma in that it looked down on non-Kryboltinians and considered them biologically inferior. Yeros found himself attracted to this sect and began attending a Tydoba-Odeaistic sactiel in 2332. His brother Haxan vehemently opposed this move, however, and subsequently cut off all ties with Yeros.

== Political career in the Krybolotinian Republic ==
In 2333, Yeros attained his Institutional Certification in Biotechnology, and began looking for a job in a related field. However, he also began dating Soria Maxiom Sivity (2307-2617), a politically radical attendee of his sactiel who believed Yeros's strategic skills would be better used in a political field and convinced him to abandon his biotechnological pursuits. In late 2333, Yeros began studying political science and law. As he began to spend more time around more Restorationists, he earned a good rapport with them. Ji'ende Foresa Oracum, a leader of the party in Salboria, noted that he was "incredibly persuasive and contagiously charismatic," though he pointed out that Yeros's behavior rubbed off on him as excessively forceful sometimes. He received his Institutional Certification of Law from Oxes Institute of Law in 2335, graduating near the top of his class. Shortly thereafter, Yeros and Soria separated, due to a perceived romantic incompatibility. The two remained on amicable terms and Yeros continued working with the Restoration Party.

Yeros took a full-time position within the party in 2336, and announced his campaign for the office of Advisor to the City of Lavassia. Though his odds of success initially seemed slim, Yeros gained a massive following in the city by capitalizing off of the racial tension with Surmestos and promising protection for Lavassian citizens against Surmestan attacks. He also campaigned frequently, even going door-to-door with other members of his party to gain a personal connection with the voters in his city. By the time of the election, the only remaining candidates were Yeros, Habires Gosea (of the Integration Party, which was particularly unpopular in Salboria), and Xia Albora (from the Advancement Party). Through rigorous advertising campaigns, Kalama narrowly defeated Albora and won the position of Advisor to the City of Lavassia.

=== Advisor to the City of Lavassia ===
Yeros Kalama assumed office on June 24, 2336 and, as one of his first actions in office, began to restrict the flow of Surmestan visitors into the city of Lavassia. He also began to push policies meant to indirectly cause social hardship for the few Surmestos living within Lavassia, including making them undergo inspections whenever they used any form of public transit and repealing several laws preventing them from being discriminated against during the hiring process. During this time, the Lavassian economy thrived due to other policies Yeros instated, and he began to gather a strong following in the city. He also made visits to other mainly Krybolotinian cities in Salboria, including Arsia, Nexus, and Etiva. While visiting there, he began to rally greater support from their citizens and the Restoration Party won more seats in legislatures across the planet. Yeros was re-elected the following year alongside Restorationist candidates in the cities of Etiva and Nexus. He began to quickly emerge as a leading political figure in Salboria during this time and began considering running for Legislator to the District of Salboria during the 2339 election.

In the meantime, however, Yeros continued his political pursuits in Lavassia. After an attack in 2337 where a Krybolotinian was stabbed by a Surmesto, he passed a resolution that banned them from owning any lethal weapons. After a Krybolotinian business was forced to shut down due to being robbed by a Surmesto, he banned them from entering privately-owned businesses. Because of his popularity, his negative attitude towards Surmestos specifically began to grow among the population as well.

Other city advisors began to accuse Yeros of instating discriminatory policies against Surmestos that violated the Krybolotinian Protection Promise of 2155, but Yeros successfully defended his actions by pointing out that no law existed promising equality to species living within Krybolotinian cities. Although several attempts were made by other parties' leaders to stop Yeros from gaining more political influence, he only became more popular with Salborian citizens. By 2338, Yeros's approval rating in Salboria had reached 65 percent, while in Lavassia it was an even higher 73 percent.

In late 2338, Yeros announced his bid for Legislator to the District of Salboria and received the unequivocal endorsement of the Restoration Party. Throughout 2338, he campaigned across the system and gained even more favor among the population. By the time of the election in 2339, Yeros was the most popular candidate by far, and he won the election with a lead of twelve points above the next competitor.

=== Legislator to the District of Salboria ===
Yeros Kalama Demio assumed office as Legislator to the District of Salboria on March 11, 2340. Given his newfound influence and political power, he decided to undertake an [[Krybolotinian naming conventions#Idelogara|ideloga]], switching his family and form name to become Yeros Demio Kalama.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as Legislator to the Salboria District.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Demio Kalama as seen in 2341 as Legislator to the District of Salboria. ]]
As Legislator to the District of Salboria, Yeros now had a vote within the Krybolotinian Legislature. He also had serious influence over political goings-on in the Salboria district, which included not only the Salboria system and all of its planets (including Colarium and the habitable moon Desilar) but also of two smaller red dwarf systems close to Salboria (Kimora and Nasera). These dwarf systems, though lacking any permanent residential population, hosted several mining planets and provided many of the resources used in Salboria.

Yeros immediately began proposing laws meant to socially isolate Surmestos, even going so far as trying to ban them from entering Krybolotinian cities. However, these laws were faced with vehement resistance from Advancement and Integrationist politicians, who, despite losing favor in Salboria overall, still held significant political influence and were able to push back on Yeros's enactments. Though Surmestos themselves operated as a Krybolotinian protectorate and had no vote in the Krybolotinian government, many Surmestan lobbyists worked tirelessly to prevent these laws from being passed.

This political struggle continued for the next year and a half before the next legislative election. During this time, almost every law Kalama tried to pass was either rejected or unenforced by major Salborian cities. This also included many economic laws meant to help stimulate the economy; even though many of Yeros's opponents supported them, they were struck down purely because he was the one who proposed them. As a result, the Salborian economy suffered greatly, nearly entering a recession, and even more people began to support the Restoration Party. By the time of the 2341, almost a dozen major Krybolotinian cities had swicthed from the Advancement Party to the Restoration Party. This eliminated much of Yeros Kalama's political opposition and allowed him to begin putting his ideas in place. As one of his first acts after the 2341 election, Yeros issued the Proclomation of Security, which publicly announced his intentions to "cleanse" Krybolotinian cities of Surmestan influence and bolster the Salborian economy.

Yeros's actions in Salboria did not go unnoticed, however. Krybolotinians across the Republic became more aware Kalama's policies as time passed; fierce debates broke out throughout the country as to the practicality and necessity of Kalama's legislature and whether or not such laws should be generalized and applied to other areas of Krybolotine. Yeros garnered significant amounts of both hostility and praise, and became something of a household name at this time. Unfortunately for Yeros, even though the public was divided on his policies, the government was not and stood almost unanimously in opposition of his ideas. Nevertheless, because Yeros had not yet done anything directly in violation of the Republic's laws or founding documents, his opponents were unable to bring any valid legal charges against him and he was able to skirt on the border of the law for his own purposes.

Yeros Kalama remained the Legislator to the District of Salboria for over twelve years. During this time, Yeros repeatedly strengthened his legislation and was consistently met with harsh resistance by other government officials. However, as time passed, this resistance would gradually decline as the Restoration Party became increasingly influential in other districts. Notably, in 2347, the Restorationist leader Olmhen Maxiom Jadet was elected as Legislator to the District of Oklas, a highly populated and influential star system a few light years away from Salboria. By 2351, a third Restorationist leader had been elected in Berira, another group of star systems adjacent to Salboria.

In 2352, then Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, Yivobater Delasse Trihara died in a sudden accident and left his seat open. As a replacement, Oros De'aka Foresa, the Prime Legislator, appointed Yeros Kalama. It is currently not known what compelled Foresa to appoint Yeros, who he openly opposed, as his Vice Prime Legislator, but modern day historians suspect that some element of blackmail was involved in the appointment. Regardless, Yeros's ascension to Vice Prime Legislator was incredibly controversial and sent the nation into a political frenzy for several years. Many of his opponents tried to claim he gained the seat through unlawful means but failed to bring any evidence. As such, all of these claims were reluctantly dismissed by the Prime Judiciary of the Republic and Kalama was permitted to remain in office.

=== Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic ===
As Vice Prime Legislator, Yeros held significant power within Krybolotine (particularly over the legislature).

Yeros Kalama was killed on July 22, 2487 during the Salboria Space Station Attack, an act of uncharacteristic violence by the Krybolotinians for Liberty organization. He was succeeded, in accordance with Imperial law, by his eldest child Anderaav Demio Kalama.

== Ancestry ==
Yeros Demio Kalama is a member of the Kalama form and is thus a direct descendant of Odeais's daughter Kalama. He was the third child of entrepreneur and business owner Divio Kalama Demio (2252–2323) and aspiring chef Ulira Kalama Aldagora Demio (2257–2331). He had three siblings: Haxan Kalama Demio (2290–2372), Sivia Kalama Demio (2303–2323), and Holiste Kalama Demio (2310–2327). Being a member of the Kalama form, Yeros used his heritage to explain the importance he placed on form-based careers: members of the Kalama form were generally expected to take political or propaganda-related jobs. because of this, Yeros pressured citizens of the Imperium to pursue jobs related to their forms' stereotypical roles.

== Early life and childhood ==
=== Birth and early years ===
Yeros Kalama Demio was born on July 9, 2306 in the city of Lavassia on the planet of Colarium. Colarium was within the district of Salboria, which comprised of the star Salboria, its planets, and all other bodies within the system. From a very young age, Yeros displayed signs of extreme intelligence, and his parents enrolled him in primary school at just 5 years old—two years before most Krybolotinian children. Instructors recalled that he was by far the brightest of his pupils and constantly under challenged by his work. Other instructors noted that Kalama especially enjoyed logic puzzles and other sorts of actvities that involved high levels of strategy and comprehensive thinking.

Yeros and his family lived in a two-story family home near the mountainous outskirts of Lavassia, and the young Kalama was reported to spend hours wandering the woods with his older sister Sivia. His father entertained a number of nature-related hobbies, including gardening, hunting, and fishing, which he taught to his children.

Early on, Yeros was exposed to the social divide between Krybolotinians and Surmestos, a purple gelatinous race that was introduced to Colarium by the Krybolotinians for them to provide resources and materials to the Krybolotinian Republic. Though the two species largely lived in different parts of the planet and rarely crossed paths, there was evident tension between them when they did. In early conversations with his parents, Yeros expressed a harsh attitude towards Surmestos, which they were quick to discourage.

Yeros's family were practicing Ertoma-Odeaists, and so he regularly attended an Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiel and partook in religious observances. He later remarked that his religious upbringing had taught him to be compassionate with other Krybolotinians but also that he began to look down on all other species.

=== Adolescence ===
In 2318, when Yeros was 12 years old, his parents began having marital issues after Divio discovered Uliira had been having an extramarital affair. Though this in itself was not usually a marriage-ending revelation in Krybolotinian culture, Uliira had also been considering leaving Divio and eloping with her other partner. After undergoing marriage counseling and trying to fix their relationship, Divio and Uliira separated and were officially divorced in January of 2319. The two decided to split custody of their children equally: each parent would have two of the children at any time and would then swap custody every eight months. Notably, Yeros ended up being separated from his sister Sivia, which outside observers noted seemed to devastate him. Uliira, Yeros, and Holiste moved to an apartment in downtown Lavassia whereas Divio, Sivia, and Haxan moved to a more spacious farmhouse in the countryside. This arrangement, however, did not last long: Divio was offered a job in Trymentatine and soon moved to the planet.

In the year 2322, Uliira began suffering from financial troubles and sent Yeros to live with his father for a year in order to gain her bearings. Yeros, wanting to see Sivia again, readily accepted the offer and departed that April. The trip was a positive experience for Yeros at first, but soon the long Trymentatinian winter set in. Due to Trymentatine's high axial tilt and slightly elliptical orbit, the northern hemisphere of Trymentatine (where the Kalama family lived) experienced warm summers followed by bitterly cold and long winters. Though most people migrated to the southern hemisphere for that time (which was in summertime and significantly warmer), Divio stayed in the north to take advantage of lucrative ice mining opportunities.

In March of 2323, in during the coldest part of the winter, a strong winter storm formed and swept across much of the planet's northern hemisphere. Though residents were advised to evacuate ahead of the storm, Divio chose to stay for now-unknown reasons. Yeros, Sivia, and Haxan begged him to reconsider, but he wasn't swayed and the Kalama family remained where they were. By the time the storm reached their area, it had gained incredible strength and began to destroy their home. Divio and Sivia attempted to escape through to a more hospitable location, but were both lost to the storm and never seen again.

In the meantime, Yeros and his brother Haxan remained at the house while it was being torn apart. The two descended into the basement for protection from the snow, but the extremely cold temperatures there caused severe hypothermia despite the two starting a fire. Yeros fainted sometime during the blizzard and may have suffered a stroke at this time, though the specifics are unclear. The storm eventually passed after about a day, at which point Haxan rushed Yeros to a hospital, where he was treated for the cold shock and remained there for over a week as he recovered. In the ensuing search-and-rescue efforts, Divio's car was found about four miles away from the house, and a set of footprints was found leading into a large cave system where it is likely the two Krybolotinians perished from the cold or some sort of aggressive cave animal.

Upon being discharged from the hospital, Yeros and Haxan returned to Colarium to live with their mother, who continued to suffer from financial troubles and eventually turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Yeros had apparently become a different person entirely; teachers and peers noted that he had completely shifted his demeanor and shut people out. Where he was once a high-achieving and happy student, he had become more lazy and reclusive. He displayed a complete lack of social qualities, ignoring people who tried to talk with him and acting generally abrasive towards everyone he knew. Though many of his teachers expressed concern over what had happened, Uliira was far too depressed herself to notice or care.

In 2327, when Yeros was 21 years old, their mother got into a physical altercation with Holiste and accidentally stabbed him. Yeros and Haxan both fled the scene and called the police, and Uliira was arrested. Holiste died a few days later from his wounds and Uliira committed suicide shortly after finding out. Yeros and Haxan moved in together, but the two eventually separated after Haxan expressed concerns about his the Yeros's mental state and how it may have affected his newborn child.

Notably, in order to avoid entering the foster system (as he was still legally a Krybolotinian minor until he turned 25), Yeros declared financial and legal independence and took up a part-time job at a delivery center. In this way, Yeros made enough money to rent a low-end apartment in the inner city.

=== Independent life ===
According to friends, Yeros experienced some sort of spiritual revival in 2329, when he was 22 years old. He allegedly began attending Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiels and even started partaking in more religious observances. However, he also wrote about being frustrated by the passivity of Ertoma-Odeaism, saying that he wanted to find an Odeaistic sect that brought "proper retribution to non-Krybolotinians".

This belief was only further strengthened when, in early 2330, Yeros was making a delivery to a part of the planet largely inhabited by Surmestos and was attacked by a group of them when re-entering his truck. He escaped with moderate injuries but had to leave the truck behind, and all of the goods he had been carrying were stolen. In order to pay back his employer for the loss, Yeros's pay was docked for a few months and he struggle to pay his rent. After receiving aid from both his employer and his landlord Yeros was able to remain in his apartment and recovered from the financial loss rather quickly, but the harsh treatment of the Surmestos toward him likely stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Immediately after the attack, Yeros stopped regularly attending his sactiel and seemingly experienced a sort of paranoid breakdown. His brother later recalled conversations the two had where Yeros described feeling lost and surrounded by threats. Some analysts have drawn this up to psychological trauma caused by the attack, whereas othera believed it was a physiological, consequence of brain damage he had received during the blizzard. Either way, Yeros spent about three months in this state during 2330.

As time passed, Yeros slowly began to recover from his mental struggles but never returned to his original sactiel. For some time in 2330 and 2331, he became irreligious and opposed the idea of rejoining any sactiel for fear of supporting their message of acceptance. He began studying at the Lavassian Technical Institute and worked to earn a Institutional Certification in Biolotechnology, specifically focusing the anatomy of Krybolotinians and other species inhabiting the Republic. As time passed, Yeros's segregatory beliefs drew him to the Restoration Party, a political organization in Krybolotine hoping to restore direct Krybolotinian rule over the planet with the other species and push Odeiasm on them. The form of Odeaism they supported, however, was called Tydoba-Odeaism, differing from Ertoma in that it looked down on non-Kryboltinians and considered them biologically inferior. Yeros found himself attracted to this sect and began attending a Tydoba-Odeaistic sactiel in 2332. His brother Haxan vehemently opposed this move, however, and subsequently cut off all ties with Yeros.

== Political career in the Krybolotinian Republic ==
In 2333, Yeros attained his Institutional Certification in Biotechnology, and began looking for a job in a related field. However, he also began dating Soria Maxiom Sivity (2307-2617), a politically radical attendee of his sactiel who believed Yeros's strategic skills would be better used in a political field and convinced him to abandon his biotechnological pursuits. In late 2333, Yeros began studying political science and law. As he began to spend more time around more Restorationists, he earned a good rapport with them. Ji'ende Foresa Oracum, a leader of the party in Salboria, noted that he was "incredibly persuasive and contagiously charismatic," though he pointed out that Yeros's behavior rubbed off on him as excessively forceful sometimes. He received his Institutional Certification of Law from Oxes Institute of Law in 2335, graduating near the top of his class. Shortly thereafter, Yeros and Soria were married and Yeros was decided to be the costrea.

Yeros took a full-time position within the party in 2336, and announced his campaign for the office of Advisor to the City of Lavassia. Though his odds of success initially seemed slim, Yeros gained a massive following in the city by capitalizing off of the racial tension with Surmestos and promising protection for Lavassian citizens against Surmestan attacks. He also campaigned frequently, even going door-to-door with other members of his party to gain a personal connection with the voters in his city. By the time of the election, the only remaining candidates were Yeros, Habires Gosea (of the Integration Party, which was particularly unpopular in Salboria), and Xia Albora (from the Advancement Party). Through rigorous advertising campaigns, Kalama narrowly defeated Albora and won the position of Advisor to the City of Lavassia.

=== Advisor to the City of Lavassia ===
Yeros Kalama assumed office on June 24, 2336 and, as one of his first actions in office, began to restrict the flow of Surmestan visitors into the city of Lavassia. He also began to push policies meant to indirectly cause social hardship for the few Surmestos living within Lavassia, including making them undergo inspections whenever they used any form of public transit and repealing several laws preventing them from being discriminated against during the hiring process. During this time, the Lavassian economy thrived due to other policies Yeros instated, and he began to gather a strong following in the city. He also made visits to other mainly Krybolotinian cities in Salboria, including Arsia, Nexus, and Etiva. While visiting there, he began to rally greater support from their citizens and the Restoration Party won more seats in legislatures across the planet. Yeros was re-elected the following year alongside Restorationist candidates in the cities of Etiva and Nexus. He began to quickly emerge as a leading political figure in Salboria during this time and began considering running for Legislator to the District of Salboria during the 2339 election.

In the meantime, however, Yeros continued his political pursuits in Lavassia. After an attack in 2337 where a Krybolotinian was stabbed by a Surmesto, he passed a resolution that banned them from owning any lethal weapons. After a Krybolotinian business was forced to shut down due to being robbed by a Surmesto, he banned them from entering privately-owned businesses. Because of his popularity, his negative attitude towards Surmestos specifically began to grow among the population as well.

Other city advisors began to accuse Yeros of instating discriminatory policies against Surmestos that violated the Krybolotinian Protection Promise of 2155, but Yeros successfully defended his actions by pointing out that no law existed promising equality to species living within Krybolotinian cities. Although several attempts were made by other parties' leaders to stop Yeros from gaining more political influence, he only became more popular with Salborian citizens. By 2338, Yeros's approval rating in Salboria had reached 65 percent, while in Lavassia it was an even higher 73 percent.

In late 2338, Yeros announced his bid for Legislator to the District of Salboria and received the unequivocal endorsement of the Restoration Party. Throughout 2338, he campaigned across the system and gained even more favor among the population. By the time of the election in 2339, Yeros was the most popular candidate by far, and he won the election with a lead of twelve points above the next competitor.

=== Legislator to the District of Salboria ===
Yeros Kalama Demio assumed office as Legislator to the District of Salboria on March 11, 2340. Given his newfound influence and political power, he decided to undertake an [[Krybolotinian naming conventions#Idelogara|ideloga]], switching his family and form name to become Yeros Demio Kalama.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as Legislator to the Salboria District.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Demio Kalama as seen in 2341 as Legislator to the District of Salboria. ]]
As Legislator to the District of Salboria, Yeros now had a vote within the Krybolotinian Legislature. He also had serious influence over political goings-on in the Salboria district, which included not only the Salboria system and all of its planets (including Colarium and the habitable moon Desilar) but also of two smaller red dwarf systems close to Salboria (Kimora and Nasera). These dwarf systems, though lacking any permanent residential population, hosted several mining planets and provided many of the resources used in Salboria.

Yeros immediately began proposing laws meant to socially isolate Surmestos, even going so far as trying to ban them from entering Krybolotinian cities. However, these laws were faced with vehement resistance from Advancement and Integrationist politicians, who, despite losing favor in Salboria overall, still held significant political influence and were able to push back on Yeros's enactments. Though Surmestos themselves operated as a Krybolotinian protectorate and had no vote in the Krybolotinian government, many Surmestan lobbyists worked tirelessly to prevent these laws from being passed.

This political struggle continued for the next year and a half before the next legislative election. During this time, almost every law Kalama tried to pass was either rejected or unenforced by major Salborian cities. This also included many economic laws meant to help stimulate the economy; even though many of Yeros's opponents supported them, they were struck down purely because he was the one who proposed them. As a result, the Salborian economy suffered greatly, nearly entering a recession, and even more people began to support the Restoration Party. By the time of the 2341, almost a dozen major Krybolotinian cities had swicthed from the Advancement Party to the Restoration Party. This eliminated much of Yeros Kalama's political opposition and allowed him to begin putting his ideas in place. As one of his first acts after the 2341 election, Yeros issued the Proclomation of Security, which publicly announced his intentions to "cleanse" Krybolotinian cities of Surmestan influence and bolster the Salborian economy.

Yeros's actions in Salboria did not go unnoticed, however. Krybolotinians across the Republic became more aware Kalama's policies as time passed; fierce debates broke out throughout the country as to the practicality and necessity of Kalama's legislature and whether or not such laws should be generalized and applied to other areas of Krybolotine. Yeros garnered significant amounts of both hostility and praise, and became something of a household name at this time. Unfortunately for Yeros, even though the public was divided on his policies, the government was not and stood almost unanimously in opposition of his ideas. Nevertheless, because Yeros had not yet done anything directly in violation of the Republic's laws or founding documents, his opponents were unable to bring any valid legal charges against him and he was able to skirt on the border of the law for his own purposes.

Yeros Kalama remained the Legislator to the District of Salboria for over twelve years. During this time, Yeros repeatedly strengthened his legislation and was consistently met with harsh resistance by other government officials. However, as time passed, this resistance would gradually decline as the Restoration Party became increasingly influential in other districts. Notably, in 2347, the Restorationist leader Olmhen Maxiom Jadet was elected as Legislator to the District of Oklas, a highly populated and influential star system a few light years away from Salboria. By 2351, a third Restorationist leader had been elected in Berira, another group of star systems adjacent to Salboria.

In 2352, then Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, Yivobater Delasse Trihara died in a sudden accident and left his seat open. As a replacement, Oros De'aka Foresa, the Prime Legislator, appointed Yeros Kalama. It is currently not known what compelled Foresa to appoint Yeros, who he openly opposed, as his Vice Prime Legislator, but modern day historians suspect that some element of blackmail was involved in the appointment. Regardless, Yeros's ascension to Vice Prime Legislator was incredibly controversial and sent the nation into a political frenzy for several years. Many of his opponents tried to claim he gained the seat through unlawful means but failed to bring any evidence. As such, all of these claims were reluctantly dismissed by the Prime Judiciary of the Republic and Kalama was permitted to remain in office.

'''Yeros Demio Kalama''' (born '''Yeros Kalama Demio'''; July 9, 2306–July 22, 2487) was a [[Krybolotinian]] revolutionary and the first Grand Commander of the [[Krybolotinian Imperium]]. Being the founding Commander of the nation, Kalama was responsible for the long and deadly Krybolotinian Civil War as well as the enslavement of billions of non-Kryboltinian individuals for economic benefit. Kalama is widely regarded as one of the most brutal dictators in history and numerous psychologists and historians have considered him an embodiment of totalitarianism. His role in the spread and strengthening of Tydoba-Odeaism was not only crucial to the formation of the Krybolotinian Imperium and the centuries of racial injustice that followed it, but also to a long-standing religious divide among Odeaists that manifested itself in numerous conflicts and riots that most likely resulted in thousands of more deaths long after the Imperium fell.

Kalama was born on July 6, 2306 on the [[Krybolotinian Republic]]'s colony of Colarium, and was thus exposed to other species and the racial tension between Krybolotinians and Surmestos from a very early age. Throughout his childhood, he endured a number of emotional and physical hardships, including a blizzard in 2323 that may have caused him mental damage. As he grew older, Kalama grew to resent Surmestos and eventually every species other than the Krybolotinians. As a result, he grew attracted to Tydoba-Odeaism, a sect of [[Odeaism]] that promoted radical pro-Krybolotinianism and subjugation of all other races. His ideas appealed to the long-suffering population of the Salboria system who quickly grew to like Kalama and he was elected to be the Legislator for the system. Despite facing much opposition from the majority Ertoma-Odeaist population of the Republic, Kalama continued to gain favor among the growing Tydoba-Odeaistic population and regularly attended religious conventions and councils. He was eventually appointed Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, by potentially fraudulent means, and would later ascend to the seat of Prime Legislator upon the assassination of his predecessor, Oros De'aka Foresa. Now having significant political influence within the nation, Kalama began to rally more and more support among the Krybolotinian population, and his party won seats in several formerly Ertoma-Odeaist star systems.

After an attempt on his life by a Surmesto, which left him seriously injured, Kalama retaliated by releasing a poison into Colarian municipal plumbing that resulted in the gruesome deaths of most of the Surmestan population. At this point Kalama declared that he no longer felt that him and his people were protected by the Krybolotinian Republic and proceeded to form the Krybolotinian Imperium. Upon the formation of the Imperium, Kalama quickly gained control of Colarium but was met with fierce retaliation by the Republic's army. However, in the ensuing civil war, Kalama repeatedly outsmarted Krybolotinian forces and attacked the non-Krybolotinian peoples by targeting specific biological weaknesses of theirs. Through brute force and immense loss of life, Kalama conquered all of the Republic's former territory, turned the remaining loyalist population into supporters through intense propaganda, and began his official rule as Grand Commander of the Krybolotinian Imperium.

As Commander of the Imperium, Kalama ruled with an iron fist. He led numerous propaganda campaigns in his early years of rule to strengthen his rule and approval among the population. He then began utilizing censorship to block out any content or creators deemed to be contrary to interests of the Imperium. He also suppressed freedom of speech and imposed harsh penalties against anti-Imperial activists that could range from severe fines to spending time in a labor camp. Over the course of the 25th century, Kalama gained complete control over the Imperium and all of its territories and rebel activity had been all but snuffed out entirely. Kalama rejected freedom of religion and mandated that all Imperial citizens follow Tydoba-Odeaism or any practically similar Odeaistic sect (which were clearly defined by the government). Despite Yeros's efforts, he was never able to eliminate all opposition against the Imperium and spent much of his rule trying to get rid of the last rebel groups, a task which both he and subsequent Grand Commanders were unable to complete.

Yeros Kalama was killed on July 22, 2487 during the Salboria Space Station Attack, an act of uncharacteristic violence by the Krybolotinians for Liberty organization. He was succeeded, in accordance with Imperial law, by his eldest child Anderaav Demio Kalama.

== Early life and childhood ==
=== Birth and early years ===
Yeros Kalama Demio was born on July 9, 2306 in the city of Lavassia on the planet of Colarium. Colarium was within the district of Salboria, which comprised of the star Salboria, its planets, and all other bodies within the system. From a very young age, Yeros displayed signs of extreme intelligence, and his parents enrolled him in primary school at just 5 years old—two years before most Krybolotinian children. Instructors recalled that he was by far the brightest of his pupils and constantly under challenged by his work. Other instructors noted that Kalama especially enjoyed logic puzzles and other sorts of actvities that involved high levels of strategy and comprehensive thinking.

Yeros and his family lived in a two-story family home near the mountainous outskirts of Lavassia, and the young Kalama was reported to spend hours wandering the woods with his older sister Sivia. His father entertained a number of nature-related hobbies, including gardening, hunting, and fishing, which he taught to his children.

Early on, Yeros was exposed to the social divide between Krybolotinians and Surmestos, a purple gelatinous race that was introduced to Colarium by the Krybolotinians for them to provide resources and materials to the Krybolotinian Republic. Though the two species largely lived in different parts of the planet and rarely crossed paths, there was evident tension between them when they did. In early conversations with his parents, Yeros expressed a harsh attitude towards Surmestos, which they were quick to discourage.

Yeros's family were practicing Ertoma-Odeaists, and so he regularly attended an Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiel and partook in religious observances. He later remarked that his religious upbringing had taught him to be compassionate with other Krybolotinians but also that he began to look down on all other species.

=== Adolescence ===
In 2318, when Yeros was 12 years old, his parents began having marital issues after Divio discovered Uliira had been having an extramarital affair. Though this in itself was not usually a marriage-ending revelation in Krybolotinian culture, Uliira had also been considering leaving Divio and eloping with her other partner. After undergoing marriage counseling and trying to fix their relationship, Divio and Uliira separated and were officially divorced in January of 2319. The two decided to split custody of their children equally: each parent would have two of the children at any time and would then swap custody every eight months. Notably, Yeros ended up being separated from his sister Sivia, which outside observers noted seemed to devastate him. Uliira, Yeros, and Holiste moved to an apartment in downtown Lavassia whereas Divio, Sivia, and Haxan moved to a more spacious farmhouse in the countryside. This arrangement, however, did not last long: Divio was offered a job in Trymentatine and soon moved to the planet.

In the year 2322, Uliira began suffering from financial troubles and sent Yeros to live with his father for a year in order to gain her bearings. Yeros, wanting to see Sivia again, readily accepted the offer and departed that April. The trip was a positive experience for Yeros at first, but soon the long Trymentatinian winter set in. Due to Trymentatine's high axial tilt and slightly elliptical orbit, the northern hemisphere of Trymentatine (where the Kalama family lived) experienced warm summers followed by bitterly cold and long winters. Though most people migrated to the southern hemisphere for that time (which was in summertime and significantly warmer), Divio stayed in the north to take advantage of lucrative ice mining opportunities.

In March of 2323, in during the coldest part of the winter, a strong winter storm formed and swept across much of the planet's northern hemisphere. Though residents were advised to evacuate ahead of the storm, Divio chose to stay for now-unknown reasons. Yeros, Sivia, and Haxan begged him to reconsider, but he wasn't swayed and the Kalama family remained where they were. By the time the storm reached their area, it had gained incredible strength and began to destroy their home. Divio and Sivia attempted to escape through to a more hospitable location, but were both lost to the storm and never seen again.

In the meantime, Yeros and his brother Haxan remained at the house while it was being torn apart. The two descended into the basement for protection from the snow, but the extremely cold temperatures there caused severe hypothermia despite the two starting a fire. Yeros fainted sometime during the blizzard and may have suffered a stroke at this time, though the specifics are unclear. The storm eventually passed after about a day, at which point Haxan rushed Yeros to a hospital, where he was treated for the cold shock and remained there for over a week as he recovered. In the ensuing search-and-rescue efforts, Divio's car was found about four miles away from the house, and a set of footprints was found leading into a large cave system where it is likely the two Krybolotinians perished from the cold or some sort of aggressive cave animal.

Upon being discharged from the hospital, Yeros and Haxan returned to Colarium to live with their mother, who continued to suffer from financial troubles and eventually turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Yeros had apparently become a different person entirely; teachers and peers noted that he had completely shifted his demeanor and shut people out. Where he was once a high-achieving and happy student, he had become more lazy and reclusive. He displayed a complete lack of social qualities, ignoring people who tried to talk with him and acting generally abrasive towards everyone he knew. Though many of his teachers expressed concern over what had happened, Uliira was far too depressed herself to notice or care.

In 2327, when Yeros was 21 years old, their mother got into a physical altercation with Holiste and accidentally stabbed him. Yeros and Haxan both fled the scene and called the police, and Uliira was arrested. Holiste died a few days later from his wounds and Uliira committed suicide shortly after finding out. Yeros and Haxan moved in together, but the two eventually separated after Haxan expressed concerns about his the Yeros's mental state and how it may have affected his newborn child.

Notably, in order to avoid entering the foster system (as he was still legally a Krybolotinian minor until he turned 25), Yeros declared financial and legal independence and took up a part-time job at a delivery center. In this way, Yeros made enough money to rent a low-end apartment in the inner city.

=== Independent life ===
According to friends, Yeros experienced some sort of spiritual revival in 2329, when he was 22 years old. He allegedly began attending Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiels and even started partaking in more religious observances. However, he also wrote about being frustrated by the passivity of Ertoma-Odeaism, saying that he wanted to find an Odeaistic sect that brought "proper retribution to non-Krybolotinians".

This belief was only further strengthened when, in early 2330, Yeros was making a delivery to a part of the planet largely inhabited by Surmestos and was attacked by a group of them when re-entering his truck. He escaped with moderate injuries but had to leave the truck behind, and all of the goods he had been carrying were stolen. In order to pay back his employer for the loss, Yeros's pay was docked for a few months and he struggle to pay his rent. After receiving aid from both his employer and his landlord Yeros was able to remain in his apartment and recovered from the financial loss rather quickly, but the harsh treatment of the Surmestos toward him likely stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Immediately after the attack, Yeros stopped regularly attending his sactiel and seemingly experienced a sort of paranoid breakdown. His brother later recalled conversations the two had where Yeros described feeling lost and surrounded by threats. Some analysts have drawn this up to psychological trauma caused by the attack, whereas othera believed it was a physiological, consequence of brain damage he had received during the blizzard. Either way, Yeros spent about three months in this state during 2330.

As time passed, Yeros slowly began to recover from his mental struggles but never returned to his original sactiel. For some time in 2330 and 2331, he became irreligious and opposed the idea of rejoining any sactiel for fear of supporting their message of acceptance. He began studying at the Lavassian Technical Institute and worked to earn a Institutional Certification in Biolotechnology, specifically focusing the anatomy of Krybolotinians and other species inhabiting the Republic. As time passed, Yeros's segregatory beliefs drew him to the Restoration Party, a political organization in Krybolotine hoping to restore direct Krybolotinian rule over the planet with the other species and push Odeiasm on them. The form of Odeaism they supported, however, was called Tydoba-Odeaism, differing from Ertoma in that it looked down on non-Kryboltinians and considered them biologically inferior. Yeros found himself attracted to this sect and began attending a Tydoba-Odeaistic sactiel in 2332. His brother Haxan vehemently opposed this move, however, and subsequently cut off all ties with Yeros.

== Political career in the Krybolotinian Republic ==
In 2333, Yeros attained his Institutional Certification in Biotechnology, and began looking for a job in a related field. However, he also began dating Soria Maxiom Sivity (2307-2617), a politically radical attendee of his sactiel who believed Yeros's strategic skills would be better used in a political field and convinced him to abandon his biotechnological pursuits. In late 2333, Yeros began studying political science and law. As he began to spend more time around more Restorationists, he earned a good rapport with them. Ji'ende Foresa Oracum, a leader of the party in Salboria, noted that he was "incredibly persuasive and contagiously charismatic," though he pointed out that Yeros's behavior rubbed off on him as excessively forceful sometimes. He received his Institutional Certification of Law from Oxes Institute of Law in 2335, graduating near the top of his class. Shortly thereafter, Yeros and Soria were married and Yeros was decided to be the costrea.

Yeros took a full-time position within the party in 2336, and announced his campaign for the office of Advisor to the City of Lavassia. Though his odds of success initially seemed slim, Yeros gained a massive following in the city by capitalizing off of the racial tension with Surmestos and promising protection for Lavassian citizens against Surmestan attacks. He also campaigned frequently, even going door-to-door with other members of his party to gain a personal connection with the voters in his city. By the time of the election, the only remaining candidates were Yeros, Habires Gosea (of the Integration Party, which was particularly unpopular in Salboria), and Xia Albora (from the Advancement Party). Through rigorous advertising campaigns, Kalama narrowly defeated Albora and won the position of Advisor to the City of Lavassia.

=== Advisor to the City of Lavassia ===
Yeros Kalama assumed office on June 24, 2336 and, as one of his first actions in office, began to restrict the flow of Surmestan visitors into the city of Lavassia. He also began to push policies meant to indirectly cause social hardship for the few Surmestos living within Lavassia, including making them undergo inspections whenever they used any form of public transit and repealing several laws preventing them from being discriminated against during the hiring process. During this time, the Lavassian economy thrived due to other policies Yeros instated, and he began to gather a strong following in the city. He also made visits to other mainly Krybolotinian cities in Salboria, including Arsia, Nexus, and Etiva. While visiting there, he began to rally greater support from their citizens and the Restoration Party won more seats in legislatures across the planet. Yeros was re-elected the following year alongside Restorationist candidates in the cities of Etiva and Nexus. He began to quickly emerge as a leading political figure in Salboria during this time and began considering running for Legislator to the District of Salboria during the 2339 election.

In the meantime, however, Yeros continued his political pursuits in Lavassia. After an attack in 2337 where a Krybolotinian was stabbed by a Surmesto, he passed a resolution that banned them from owning any lethal weapons. After a Krybolotinian business was forced to shut down due to being robbed by a Surmesto, he banned them from entering privately-owned businesses. Because of his popularity, his negative attitude towards Surmestos specifically began to grow among the population as well.

Other city advisors began to accuse Yeros of instating discriminatory policies against Surmestos that violated the Krybolotinian Protection Promise of 2155, but Yeros successfully defended his actions by pointing out that no law existed promising equality to species living within Krybolotinian cities. Although several attempts were made by other parties' leaders to stop Yeros from gaining more political influence, he only became more popular with Salborian citizens. By 2338, Yeros's approval rating in Salboria had reached 65 percent, while in Lavassia it was an even higher 73 percent.

In late 2338, Yeros announced his bid for Legislator to the District of Salboria and received the unequivocal endorsement of the Restoration Party. Throughout 2338, he campaigned across the system and gained even more favor among the population. By the time of the election in 2339, Yeros was the most popular candidate by far, and he won the election with a lead of twelve points above the next competitor.

=== Legislator to the District of Salboria ===
Yeros Kalama Demio assumed office as Legislator to the District of Salboria on March 11, 2340. Given his newfound influence and political power, he decided to undertake an [[Krybolotinian naming conventions#Idelogara|ideloga]], switching his family and form name to become Yeros Demio Kalama.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as Legislator to the Salboria District.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Demio Kalama as seen in 2341 as Legislator to the District of Salboria. ]]
As Legislator to the District of Salboria, Yeros now had a vote within the Krybolotinian Legislature. He also had serious influence over political goings-on in the Salboria district, which included not only the Salboria system and all of its planets (including Colarium and the habitable moon Desilar) but also of two smaller red dwarf systems close to Salboria (Kimora and Nasera). These dwarf systems, though lacking any permanent residential population, hosted several mining planets and provided many of the resources used in Salboria.

Yeros immediately began proposing laws meant to socially isolate Surmestos, even going so far as trying to ban them from entering Krybolotinian cities. However, these laws were faced with vehement resistance from Advancement and Integrationist politicians, who, despite losing favor in Salboria overall, still held significant political influence and were able to push back on Yeros's enactments. Though Surmestos themselves operated as a Krybolotinian protectorate and had no vote in the Krybolotinian government, many Surmestan lobbyists worked tirelessly to prevent these laws from being passed.

This political struggle continued for the next year and a half before the next legislative election. During this time, almost every law Kalama tried to pass was either rejected or unenforced by major Salborian cities. This also included many economic laws meant to help stimulate the economy; even though many of Yeros's opponents supported them, they were struck down purely because he was the one who proposed them. As a result, the Salborian economy suffered greatly, nearly entering a recession, and even more people began to support the Restoration Party. By the time of the 2341, almost a dozen major Krybolotinian cities had swicthed from the Advancement Party to the Restoration Party. This eliminated much of Yeros Kalama's political opposition and allowed him to begin putting his ideas in place. As one of his first acts after the 2341 election, Yeros issued the Proclomation of Security, which publicly announced his intentions to "cleanse" Krybolotinian cities of Surmestan influence and bolster the Salborian economy.

Yeros's actions in Salboria did not go unnoticed, however. Krybolotinians across the Republic became more aware Kalama's policies as time passed; fierce debates broke out throughout the country as to the practicality and necessity of Kalama's legislature and whether or not such laws should be generalized and applied to other areas of Krybolotine. Yeros garnered significant amounts of both hostility and praise, and became something of a household name at this time. Unfortunately for Yeros, even though the public was divided on his policies, the government was not and stood almost unanimously in opposition of his ideas. Nevertheless, because Yeros had not yet done anything directly in violation of the Republic's laws or founding documents, his opponents were unable to bring any valid legal charges against him and he was able to skirt on the border of the law for his own purposes.

Yeros Kalama remained the Legislator to the District of Salboria for over twelve years. During this time, Yeros repeatedly strengthened his legislation and was consistently met with harsh resistance by other government officials. However, as time passed, this resistance would gradually decline as the Restoration Party became increasingly influential in other districts. Notably, in 2347, the Restorationist leader Olmhen Maxiom Jadet was elected as Legislator to the District of Oklas, a highly populated and influential star system a few light years away from Salboria. By 2351, a third Restorationist leader had been elected in Berira, another group of star systems adjacent to Salboria.

In 2352, then Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, Yivobater Delasse Trihara died in a sudden accident and left his seat open. As a replacement, Oros De'aka Foresa, the Prime Legislator, appointed Yeros Kalama. It is currently not known what compelled Foresa to appoint Yeros, who he openly opposed, as his Vice Prime Legislator, but modern day historians suspect that some element of blackmail was involved in the appointment. Regardless, Yeros's ascension to Vice Prime Legislator was incredibly controversial and sent the nation into a political frenzy for several years. Many of his opponents tried to claim he gained the seat through unlawful means but failed to bring any evidence. As such, all of these claims were reluctantly dismissed by the Prime Judiciary of the Republic and Kalama was permitted to remain in office.

=== Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic ===
As Vice Prime Legislator, Yeros held significant power within Krybolotine (particularly over the legislature).

‘’’’‘Knowledge as the Weapon’’’’’ is a defunct conworld created by {{PoxyColored}} revolving around the social evolution and growth of the [[Kribolotinians]], a race of reptilian people from the planet [[Kribolotin (planet)|Kribolotin]]. The timeline begins thousands of years ago with the foundations of [[Ode’ism]], the Kribolotinians’ most influential religion, by [[Retora]]. It follows the first conquests of the [[Kribolotinian Kingdom]], which used harsh and oppressive policies to force their subjects into submission and eventually grew to span the globe. They maintained this position of power for 888 Kribolotinian years (~1122.5 Earth years). However, the opening of Retora’s tomb eventually revealed [[Retora’s Last Letter]], a writing by Retora condemning the dictatorial policies put in place by the Kingdom which her son, Tidoba, had hidden after she died. Upon the discovery of the Last Letter, the largely religious population of Kribolotin turned against the Kingdom, led by the influential general [[Etoma Foresa]], and created in its place the [[Kribolotinian Empire]], a constitutional monarchy. After the chaos of the transition smoothed over, the Empire began developing its technology and eventually achieved spaceflight, traveling to other planets within the [[A’elotin System]] like [[Rimenotin]] and [[Yutarotin]], both uninhabited by any sentient species despite being theoretically livable. Eager to spread Ode’ism across interstellar boundaries, the Kribolotinians slowly but surely developed their technology to be able to travel to different star systems. Throughout hundreds of years, they failed to find any intelligent life despite coming across numerous worlds with natural flora and fauna. At the same time, many people on Kribolotin began to worry that their government’s power was far too centralized and that a less condensed and more democratic government would be more readily able to make quick decisions about space exploration and expansion. After some heated debates and generally uninteresting political processes, the Empire was reorganized into the [[Kribolotinian Republic]]. While this succeeded in helping them expand more quickly across more systems (around 45 by this point), it did not uncover any sapient alien species.

By the 21st century, the Kribolotinians had grown to encompass a massive area of 45 star systems, containing dozens of habitable worlds and plenty of mining resources. However, their population was not nearly enough to readily maintain control of the region. To solve both this problem and the desire of the public to discover some sort of alien life, they launched the ‘’[[Starfinder]]’’ program, which entailed warping into thousands of distant star systems in search of intelligent life. The program lasted for a century, with Kribolotinian ships exploring and studying over 4,000 systems. Eventually, they discovered eight sentient species: the [[Human (KatW)|Humans]] from Earth, the [[Enryus|Enryi]] from Enryem, the [[Albanid|Albanids]] from Albon, the [[Surmesto|Surmestos]] from Surmestai, the [[Morbiolon|Morbiolons]] from Yarneff, the [[Roek|Roeks]] from Terren, the [[Vayao|Vayaos]] from Vayam, and the [[Vathero|Vatheri]] from Osthes. In 2155, the Kribolotinians made contact with each of these species, finding a planet within their domain that suited their needs and allowing any members of their societies who wished to join them to live in independent protectorates. They would be given necessities and resources as long as they provided resources for the Republic.

This situation lasted for about 200 years. During this time, Kribolotin flourished and grew, allowing for the exploration of an additional ten star systems and the extraction of resources for continued expansion. All of the star systems under Kribolotinian control were collectively referred to as the [[Kribolotinian Domain]]. However, tension eventually started to grow between the Surmestos and Kribolotinians when the former began to demand independence from Kribolotin. Though the Kribolotinians offered to send them back to their homeworld, the Surmestos were unsatisfied with this offer and continued to demand complete independence while remaining within the Kribolotinian Domain, which was not an option the government was willing to consider. Additionally, in 2298, [[2298 Egg Incident|several influential Surmestos were discovered to have been eating Kribolotinian eggs]]—without even properly checking if they were fertilized or not—to the shock and horror of many Kribolotinians across the nation. Rather than apologizing for the incident, however, Surmestos denied the allegations and attempted to defend their actions, leading to even greater tensions.

Out of the racial friction in the [[Sabrole’a]], where the Surmestos primarily lived, a revolutionary named [[Yeros Dem’io Kalama]] rose to power. Promising “proper retribution to the Surmestos,” Yeros became incredibly popular and won massive favor throughout the nation. He successfully turned much of the Kribolotinian population against the other eight species. After an attempt on his life by a Surmesto left him seriously injured, Yeros retaliated with the [[Surmestan Genocide]], which entailed him leaking a potent poison into Colari plumbing that had no effect on Kribolotinians but was extremely lethal to Surmestos after a short incubation period. With billions of Surmestos now dead, Yeros announced that he no longer believed the Republic was strong enough to protect Kribolotinians from the “physical and cultural threat” the eight species posed. As such, he formed the [[Kribolotinian Imperium]], an autocratic and authoritarian Tidoba-Ode’ist nation formed with the goal of subjugating the eight other species.

In the ensuing [[Kribolotinian Civil War]], billions lost their lives as Yeros repeatedly outsmarted and outplanned the Republican forces despite their greater numbers. He used his knowledge of biotechnology to weaponize the other species’ weaknesses against them, and over the course of fifty years, Yeros successfully defeated the Republic and dissolved it. He issued the [[Proclamation of Victory]], which officially stripped all rights from non-Kribolotinians and dissolved the Kribolotinian Republic, naming himself the Grand Commander of the Imperium. The Imperium remained strong for almost 800 years, during which time Yeros was succeeded, successively, by his son [[Anderav Demi’o Kalama]], Anderav’s daughter [[Ilánav Demi’o Kalama]], Ilánav’s grandson [[Jiros Demi’o Kalama]], Jiros’s daughter [[Jasidi Demi’o Kalama]], Jasidi’s son [[Abralet Demi’o Kalama]], Abralet’s daughter [[Jandiret Alveta Kalama]], and, lastly, Yeros’s great-great-great-great-great-grandson through his second child, Hokrile, [[Seseyo Demi’o Kalama]].

Seseyo gained the role of Commander after a five-year period of unrest during which nobody knew who would succeed Jandiret, and as it turned out, he was not a very good choice. Seseyo was a reckless commander who tried desperately to extract as much labor as possible from his workers in order to build his army and crush rebellions. However, his demands became excessive, and the laborers began to revolt in even greater numbers. Additionally, he was involved in an affair with the laborer [[Sonáda Yumura Kipori’e]], a religious dissenter and vehement anti-Imperial rebel. During the late 3100s, a consolidated rebellion began, led by brothers [[Liti’a Hugo Lezora|Liti’a]], [[Demos Hugo Lezora|Demos]], and [[Colis Hugo Lezora]]. The combined pressure of the rebellions, the affair, and an [[Elepási-73|Elepási-73 outbreak]] led to the fall of the Imperium through the joint efforts of the Lezoras, Kipori’e, and numerous other organizations.

In place of the Imperium, the Lezora brothers formed the [[Federative Republic of the Kribolotinian Domain]], serving as the first Prime Legislator, Prime Executive, and Prime Judiciary of the new government. Any Tidoba-Ode’ists who did not convert away from their religious beliefs were temporarily sent into exile, where they would be disabused of their ideals and encouraged to adopt less radical sects of Ode’ism, such as Etoma-Ode’ism or Ki’ose-Ode’ism. Eventually, most Tidoba-Ode’ists had converted, and by the 3400s the Republic of the Domain was flourishing. The timeline ends in 3459 with the Republic stable, prosperous, and at peace.

The history of the [[Krybolotinian Imperium]] spans from the foundation of Krybolotinian society thousands of years ago to the collapse of te Imperium in 3199 CE. The origin of the Proto-Odeaism, the religion that dominated the lands from which Krybolotine originated, can be traced to about 60,000 years ago. It would later be transformed into modern [[Odeaism]] by Retoria, a prophet. For around one thousand years after this point, Krybolotine practiced a form of Odeaism known as Tydoba-Odeaism, named after the first king of the [[Krybolotinian Kingdom]] and successfully gained control of [[Krybolotine (planet)|their entire planet]]. However, the discovery of Retoria's Last Letter in 750 CE, which directly opposed Tydoba's ideas, a general named Ertoma Foresa overthrew the kingdom and founded Ertoma-Odeaism, a much more tolerant sect. In the place of the Kingdom, Ertoma formed the [[Krybolotinian Empire]] and became the first emperor. Over hundreds of years, as Krybolotinian technology continued to advance, the Empire expanded to other planets within their star system. After expanding to other star systems as well, the Empire was reorganized into the [[Krybolotinian Republic]], who used the ''Starfinder'' program to discover eight other intelligent species and introduce them to their nation. By the 2300s, tensions between Krybolotinians in the star system of Salboria and the Surmestos, who had been introduced there, had increased to the point of violence, with several Surmestan attacks occurring on the Krybolotinian population of the system. Out of this tension, politician [[Yeros Demio Kalama]] rose to power and earned a strong following in the republic. He and several other members of the Restoration Party were elected to positions of significant influence, with Kalama himself becoming Prime Legislator. However, an attempt on his life in 2361 prompted Yeros to launch a genocide against the Surmestos and form the Krybolotinian Imperium.

Throughout the following decade, Imperial forces fought vehemently to secure control of the Salboria system, the nearby red dwarf stars around it, and a few sparsely populated areas nearby.

== Krybolotinian Civil War ==
=== Background ===
After the Krybolotinian Republic's ''Starfinder'' Program led to the discovery of the Surmestos and their home planet of Surmestai, they were offered a home in Krybolotinian territory. They were introduced to the super-Earth sized planet of Colarium, orbiting the star Salboria. For the first century, the situation on Colarium remained largely peaceful; the Surmestos operated as a protectorate state of the Krybolotinian Republic known as the Suremoi Protectorate, producing goods and raw materials for the Republic in exchange for more complicated resources like medicine and energy cells. However, Surmestos had a very short lifespan (~50 years), and after just a few decades, all of the Surmestos who made up the original population had died and were survived by an entirely new generation. Additionally, Surmestos were known to be more arrogant and self-confident than other species; these two factors together meant that the Surmestos very quickly forgot the impoverished and disorderly state they lived in on their home planet and became dissastisfied with the care they had received from the Krybolotinians. This contributed to early racial tension between the two species.

==== Surmestan Independence Movement ====
By the middle of the 23rd century, tensions between Krybolotinians and Surmestos had grown to the point of violence and riots, though the most violent of the riots were Surmestan. Meanwhile, many Krybolotinians became greatly confounded by the protests and claimed that the Surmestos were far better off now than when they had lived on Surmestai, reinforcing their arguments with plentiful evidence taken from the planet. Nevertheless, the Surmestos continued to insist that they were being neglected and mistreated on Colarium with little explanation as to why they believed that or what had happened to trigger their response.

In late 2264, a Surmestan politician by the name of Suromeo Kalorin first suggested the idea of Surmestan independence on an episode of the podcast ''Deep End with Tyrani'i Mervari''. The idea began to gain much traction among the population and began to greatly concern Salborian politicians who foresaw a near rebellion, which would devastate the economy of the district. The official Surmestan Indeprendence Front (SIF) was formed on May 11th, 2265 by Kalorin and his fellow politicians Surmas Grovinin, Sumora Lovirin, and Suromeo Niloron. Together, the three Surmestans began trying to organize a military to bring against the Krybolotinian forces.

However, problems arose shortly thereafter when both Sumora Lovirin and Suromeo Niloron were killed during riots in 2266. Suromeo Kalorin fell ill due to complications with his old age shortly therafter, leaving Surmas Grovinin, the youngest of the four at fourteen years old, as the sole leader of the movement. Though he was able to replace the three in short order, their deaths proved an irreversible setback that left them disadvantaged for several decades.

==== 2298 Egg Incident ====
[[File:Krybolotinian egg 2250x3000.png|right|thumb|150px|The egg of a Krybolotinian, visually similar to many of the other Krybolotinian eggs consumed by Surmestan leaders.]]
In June 2298, Krybolotinian egg storage centers across southern Colarium reported that they were missing several thousand eggs, which they feared had either been stolen or lost during transport to their facilities. The reports set off widespread panic among the Krybolotinian population, many of whom had eggs in storage to be used later in case they became infertile and still wanted offspring. Additionally, there were fears that incubation centers would be targeted next, leading to the mass withdrawal of fertilized eggs from public incubation centers out of concern for their safety. Many incubation and egg storage centers reported a sharp decrease in profit at this time, and the planet's largest egg storage company, Sybigy, reported that they had to lay off thousands of employees due to financial strain.

Surveillance footage from earlier in the month revealed that one of the trains carrying eggs had been raided by over twenty unmasked Surmestos, who then stole thousands of the eggs and drove away in refrigerated trucks belonging to a local supermarket chain. It was initially suspected to be an act of terrorism, and immediately the Investigative Board of Salboria (IBS) began a search to identify the twenty individuals responsible for the theft. By searching the train for DNA samples and comparing them to existing genetic records, officials were able to identify everyone involved, discovering that each person had a personal connection to SIF leaders, like Surmas Grovinin. The IBS released a preliminary report in August mentioning the connections between the perpetrators and Grovinin, and Grovinin responded by outwardly denying his involvement while calling the IBS a "scandal-seeking puppet committee" and saying they should just "stop the witch hunt and admit they worked alone." His overreaction sparked suspicion in the media, who claimed his response seemed to incriminate him. Others in the media ridiculed his poor command of Krybolotinian and made memes about him.

The IBS made it publicly known that they would not halt their investigation on August 13th, 2299. Grovinin and his comrades remained silent about the situation and refused to give any interviews or statements about what had been going on. On August 17th, the IBS announced that they had found a "critical piece of evidence" to potentially incriminate of SIF officials; later that day, Grovinin released a statement taking responsibility for coordinating the robberies and agreed to cooperate with investigators when asked. He was detained on the 18th, and just two days later the IBS released their final report on the incident. It was decided that Grovinin and other SIF leaders had intentionally planned to steal thousands of Krybolotinian eggs to scare Colarian citizens into sympathizing with their cause. It was classified as an act of terrorism and legal proceedings began as such.

When asked to return the eggs, however, Grovinin became anxious and simply told investigators that he could not. When asked why, he provided no further explanation and simply requested that the topic be dropped. Now suspicious, they demanded that Grovinin reveal the locations of the stolen eggs or have it forced out of him. Out of desperation, he told investigators to check in his home. Rather than finding the eggs, investigators were greeted with a folder that had been placed on his desk containing pictures of Grovinin and other SIF leaders cooking and consuming the eggs, much to the horror of the IBS. Further digging uncovered the truth about the entire incident: the Surmestos had been quietly stealing eggs and keeping them not so that they could terrorize the Krybolotinian people, but rather so they could cook and eat them. They were considered a delicacy among the SIF elites but they usually ran out very quickly, and as such they planned a larger operation to raid egg transport trains and steal them. Although they tried to make sure they only took unfertilized eggs, further investigation proved that the Surmestos were responsible for the disappearance and consumption of at least 37 fertilized Krybolotinian eggs (including one that was just mere days away from hatching and was extensively pictured in Grovinin's folder).

The public reacted with outrage and disgust against the SIF's actions. Krybolotinian cities saw numerous targeted attacks against their Surmestan minorities. Surmestan cities fell victim to widespread acts or violence by Krybolotinian perpetrators out of revenge of the incident. In one case, the father of a fertilized egg that had been stolen, Corsi Hugo Fa'eni, poisoned and killed three Surmestos on a public bus in the city of Gali'ira. Many large news outlets, like Republic Media and CPC News, released both information and opinion pieces harshly criticizing the Grovinin. The Restoration Party of Salboria stated that "all Surmestos were directly or indeirectly responsible" for the attack and demanded that immediate action be taken against all Surmestos as "retribution" for their actions. They praised Fa'eni for "defending the dignity of the Krybolotinian race" and called on others to do the same. In the end, Suromeo Grovinin was unable to be charged as he passed away in July of 2299 due to complications from old age. Other SIF officials saw varying degress of punishment—though some only faced fines others were sentenced to serve time in prison. All 20 perpetrators, whose identities had been confirmed by Grovinin before his death, were all sentenced to life in prison for their crimes.

==== Forsuvija Salboria 339 ====
On October 14th, 2328, a commercial spacecraft containing 538 passengers operating as Forsuvija Salboria 339 and travelling from Juril Maxiom Spaceport in Lavassia, Colarium to Gastos Guima Spaceport in Narusson, Krybolotine reported that a fire had started onboard while they ascended over the South Oscida Ocean. Moments later, the craft lost all communications with Travel Safety Officials in Lavassia and disappeared from all tracking maps. With no idea as to the status of the ship or where it was heading, officials issued emergency alerts in cities for several hundred miles around the crafts last know location, which created commotion as concerned citizens wearily watched the skies for the ship. Ten minutes later, a large explosion occurred in a rural part of the island of Co'ima off the coast of Lavassia, and upon inspection, it was discovered to be the front half of Forsuvija Salvoria 339. They searched for the back half of the craft over the ocean but only found miscellaneous, charred scraps.

An official investigation was opened the following day for the accident by the Investigative Board of Salboria's Disaster Branch (ISBDB), and all of the evidence was reviewed. Over the course of the next few weeks, it was discovered that the crash was likely caused by an error in the Craft's wiring during manufacturing that led to a short circuit midflight and a fire. This fire spread to the ships energy center, and ignited the energy cells, causing an explosion that destroyed the back of the ship and sent the front end spiraling towards the ground with most of the remaining passengers. The craft was new and had only three weeks in operation before the accident occured. Further investigation revealed that the specific factory in which the ship had been manufactured was fully employed by Surmestos.

Reactions to the crash by the public and by the media were largely sympathetic at first and blamed no particular person or group, but the Restoration Party began dispelling the narrative that the Surmestos responsible were either neglectful and willfully endangered Krybolotinian lives, or intentionally and purposefully manufactured the craft incorrectly as a means of causing an accident. Despite the ISBDB reiterating that there was no reason to believe any one individual or group was responsible for/caused the accident, many in the media and in the public eye picked up on the Restorationists' theory and minor acts of violence were recorded across the planet tied to the incident.

'''Odeaism''' is a polytheistic religion based on the teachings of the [[Krybolotinian]] prophet Retoria. It is the most widely followed religion in the Federative Republic of the Krybolotinian Domain, with almost 360 billion followers. The religion is notable for its large and diverse following; it is known to have at least 200 independent sects still in practice and as many as 500 that have died out. There has historically been significant social-cultural divide between different Odeaistig sects, most notably between Tydoba- and Ertoma-Odeaism (the former of which dominated the religious scene in the [[Krybolotinian Kingdom]] and Imperium, and the latter of which was more common in the [[Krybolotinian Empire]] and [[Krybolotinian Republic|Republic]]). After the fall of the [[Krybolotinian Imperium]], during the time where Tydoba-Odeaism was illegalized, many radical sects of Odeaism died out and much of the tension within Odeaistic sects ended.

Historically, more extreme Odeaistic sects like Tydoba-, Kogoda-, and Kujira-Odeaism have been used for extreme acts of persecution and oppression. In the Krybolotinian Kingdom, non-Odeastic subjects would often face unlivable treatment and enslavement, even being considered "impure" Krybolotinians as opposed to the religious, "pure" Krybolotinians who practiced Odeaism. Because the Krybolotinian Kingdom and Odeaism originated in an area more heavily populated by darker, redder people, an element of interspecies racism was present too: those with lighter and more yellow skin often had to endure additional atrocities at the hands of the Kingdom. Even religious people with light or yellowish skin would face frequent questioning about their religion and were less readily available to become part of the society. Additionally, in the Krybolotinian Imperium, other species were subject to enslavement and religious persecution because of Tydoba-Odeaism. Because many Krybolotinians at that time considered themselves biologically and ideologically superior to other species, they made it a goal to indoctrinate their subjects into their religion. Even the few who converted were not freed from the bondage of slavery—they were simply given slightly more time to rest during the day and to read religious texts (which failed to attract many converts).

Less radical sects of Odeaism, however, have been known to foster societal advancement and social acceptance in the societies that have put them into practice. In the Krybolotinian Empire, the implementation of religiously tolerant missionary work to reach unreached parts of the world had the benefit of helping explorers map out and learn more about Krybolotine as a planet. Additionally, a widespread desire to spread religious knowledge past the borders of Krybolotine led to the popularity and funding of space exploration programs in search of intelligent life. In the Krybolotinian Republic, religious desires combined with a need for more population inspired the the ''Starfinder'' program, which helped Krybolotinians discover eight additional species and learn more about biology and cultures. It also influenced the protectorate system in which other species saw relative independence and self-determination while providing goods for the Republic, helping the economy to flourish and allowing the nation to explore more new star systems.

Modern Odeaism can be traced back to the year 374 BCE. According to tradition, the prophet Retoria had a series of visions from a group of 8 Gods calling themselves the ''tinera''. These eight gods gave Retoria instructions to convince the king of the city-state of Demorvia to convert and use his nation to further their cause. This was successful, and shortly after Demorvia was reorganized into the [[Krybolotinian Kingdom]] (named after the most powerful deity, Krybolotine). Using their newfound power, Krybolotine began to expand across their continent, and upon the death of the king, he was replaced by Retoria's son Tydooba. Tydoba began weaponizing Odeaism and his political power against his enemies and brutally subjugating religious dissidents. Retoria, who was by that point in her old age, tried to correct Tydoba and the nation's oppressive nature with a letter, however Tydoba hid this letter from the public and instead put it in his mother's tomb when she died shortly thereafter. For the next 888 Krybolotinian years (~1122.5 Earth years), the public carried on the oppressive policies of Tydoba, following a sect of the religion later called Tydoba-Odeaism.

When the letter was discovered, however, a coup d'etat led by Ertoma Foresa

The '''Krybolotinian Republic''', otherwise known as the '''KR''', the '''Republic''', and sometimes just '''Krybolotine''', was an interstellar federative republic that controlled over 50 star systems during its lifespan from 1812 to 2402. It also introduced eight other species into their territory, all of whom formed their own individual protectorates and were provided with resources by Krybolotine.

[[File:Krybolotinian naming conventions.png|300px|right|thumb|An image depicting the naming conventions used for someone named [[Yeros Kalama Demio]] at birth.]]

'''Krybolotinian naming conventions''' are the way [[Krybolotinians]] traditionally identify themselves and their children and how they are usually registered in government databases. The names consist of a first or given name (chosen by the parents at birth), a form name (determined by the form of the child, which is in turn determined by the form of the child's costrea), and a last or family name (passed down by the costrea to the child).

Krybolotinian names are traditionally abbreviated by shortening the first and form names to just the first letter and leaving the family name in full. For instance, Xia Hugo Vyros is abbreviated as X. H. Vyros. Sometimes, the first name is left in full while the last name is abbreviated (i.e., Xia H. V.) or neither is abbreviated (Xia H. Vyros) but the traditional method is most common.

== ''Idelogara'' ==
Krybolotinians of high standing may choose to take an ''ideloga'' (plural: ''ideolgara''), which is, in essence, the switching of the individual's form name and their family name so that the form name appears before the family name. To do this, however, the ideloga request must first be approved by a commission of officials to determine that the Krybolotinian is influential enough to merit the change. An example is Ulios Maxita Maxiom, who was named Ulios Maxiom Maxita at birth. Idelogas are not passed down to children, who must become influential in their own right to take one. The only exception to this rule is if the children are royalty, in which case they receive an ideloga at birth.

After undergoing an ideloga, the person's form name is usually never abbreviated; as such, only the middle name is ever abbreviated to the first letter. One example is Yeros Demio Kalama, which abbreviated as Yeros D. Kalama. Additionally, the given name may be abbreviated for brevity's sake if the person's full name has been said already (i.e., Y. D. Kalama).

== ''Orbejara'' ==
Additionally, Krybolotinian who wish to devote themselves to their religious pursuits may choose to take an ''orbeja'' (plural: ''orbejara''), in which they replace their form name with the name of their form's god, minus the part of their name that says -atine, -itine, or -otine. Those who take orbeja essentially pledge to live religiously upstanding lives; people who take one and then abandon their religious devotion or commit a serious sin will be stripped of their orbeja for some time. An example is Yudet Croman Gaimel, who was born Yudet Foresa Gaimel and took an orbeja in honor of the god Cromanatine.

In the rare case where some takes both and ideloga and an orbeja, the form name is replaced by the God's name and appears after the family name (i.e., Jiret Chisca Olles to Jiret Olles Ael). God's names, by tradition, cannot be abbreviated, and thus either the first name, family name, or both are abbreviated instead (i.e., Jiret Olles Ael to Jiret O. Ael, J. Olles Ael, or J. O. Ael).

The '''Krybolotinian Kingdom''', also referred to as the '''Kingdom''' or just '''Krybolotine''', was a theocratic absolute monarchy established in 374 BCE which was formed based on a likely misinterpreted version of the teachings of [[Odeaism]]. The Kingdom used Odeaism as justification for their conquests across the planet of [[Krybolotine (planet)|Krybolotine]] and the many atrocities that they committed during their expansion.

The '''Krybolotinian Imperium''', often colloquially referred to as the '''Imperium''', the '''KI''', or just simply '''Krybolotine''', was an interstellar dictatorship that controlled a span of 57 star systems for over eight centuries, subjugating billions of individuals living within its borders for its entire lifespan. The Imperium was infamous for its autocratic government and dictatorial policies which caused the subjugation of eight different species for hundreds of years within labor stations. The capital of the Imperium was initially located in the city of Lavassia on the planet Colarium, where the Imperium originated, but it was later shifted to the city of Demorvia on [[Krybolotine (planet)|Krybolotine]]. The Imperium's legal citizenry was made up almost entirely of [[Krybolotinians]], the native intelligent species of Krybolotine, while a large non-Krybolotinian population living in labor stations provided resources and goods for the citizens. Despite its long reign, the Imperium only minorly changed in terms of policy and culture as it progressed, due in part to the long lifespan of Krybolotinians (275-325 years), and as such many generations of other species were forced to suffer through the same subjugation and oppression as their progenitors.

The Krybolotinian Imperium was founded on November 17, 2361 in the Colarian city of Lavassia by Krybolotinian Prime Legislator [[Yeros Demio Kalama]] after racial tension between Krybolotinians and Surmestos there reached a breaking point. Initially, the Imperium was seen as a minimal threat by most Krybolotinian officials, even referring to it simply as the "''Lavassian Tantrum''", but after Imperial forces singlehandedly led a genocide against the Surmestos, public concern about the group greatly increased. Over the following few decades, the Imperium engaged in a long and deadly civil war with its predecessor state, the [[Krybolotinian Republic]]. Although the Republic initially managed to overpower Imperial forces, Kalama utilized his skill as a general and extensive knowledge of other species to gain the upper hand. Over the course of a few years, several strategic and decisive victories helped the Imperium drive back the Republican forces. In 2389, Imperial forces took the Republic's capital of Krybolotine and in 2401 the last of the Republic forces were either destroyed or captured, so Yeros Kalama issued the Proclamation of Victory, shifting the capital to Krybolotine instead of Colarium.

After solidifying his power as Commander and creating a stable political system, Yeros shifted his focus to crushing rebellions within the nation and centralizing labor. The 2400s were a time of growth and development for the Imperium as they grew in power, characterized by economic porspreity and racial subjugation. In 2487, however, the Krybolotinians for Liberty Organization launched a revolt, attacking the Salboria Space Station and killing Yeros Kalama. The Imperium responded with a the immediate and brutal elimination of the rebellion and the gruesome executions of its leaders as revenge.

One of Krybolotine’s most important policies was systemic oppression of non-Krybolotinian citizens. Any non-Krybolotinians or religious dissenters would be sent to a labor station immediately and sentenced to a lifetime of labor (or in the case of religious criminals, labor until they converted). Children were indoctrinated to believe they were genetically inferior and then made to work 16 grueling hours a day as soon as they reached maturity. Despite being fed fairly and having acceptable bedding, laborers were held to a strict schedule. The Imperium would take extreme measures to get more labor, even going so far as to kill any citizen of an invaded world who refused work, leading to nearly all citizens choosing to instead be enslaved. They forced the reproduction of an untold number of individuals to increase the population of laborers. The fiercest and most determined of workers in Krybolotine were made into Psychologically Modified Laborers or PMLs. These unfortunate individuals would be brainwashed to believe in Krybolotinian supremacy and coerced into a plethora of jobs, ranging from law enforcement to running labor stations, which were often filled with laborers of their own race.

The driving factor behind Krybolotine's oppression was [[Odeaism]]—more specifically a sect of Odeaism called Tydoba-Odeaism. This faction of the faith believed that Krybolotinians were supreme and that any other species was not worthy enough or chosen by Odeais to live independently. In their eyes, capturing and enslaving other species was for the eventual benefit of the entire universe and when they died; it was believed that they would be entitled to a perfect afterlife with Odeais if they did so. As such, they took it as their personal duty to indoctrinate any non-Krybolotinians into their belief system.

'''Yeros Demio Kalama''' (born '''Yeros Kalama Demio'''; July 9, 2306–July 22, 2487) was a [[Krybolotinian]] revolutionary and the first Grand Commander of the [[Krybolotinian Imperium]]. Being the founding Commander of the nation, Kalama was responsible for the long and deadly Krybolotinian Civil War as well as the enslavement of billions of non-Kryboltinian individuals for economic benefit. Kalama is widely regarded as one of the most brutal dictators in history and numerous psychologists and historians have considered him an embodiment of totalitarianism. His role in the spread and strengthening of Tydoba-Odeaism was not only crucial to the formation of the Krybolotinian Imperium and the centuries of racial injustice that followed it, but also to a long-standing religious divide among Odeaists that manifested itself in numerous conflicts and riots that most likely resulted in thousands of more deaths long after the Imperium fell.

Kalama was born on July 6, 2306 on the [[Krybolotinian Republic]]'s colony of Colarium, and was thus exposed to other species and the racial tension between Krybolotinians and Surmestos from a very early age. Throughout his childhood, he endured a number of emotional and physical hardships, including a blizzard in 2323 that may have caused him mental damage. As he grew older, Kalama grew to resent Surmestos and eventually every species other than the Krybolotinians. As a result, he grew attracted to Tydoba-Odeaism, a sect of [[Odeaism]] that promoted radical pro-Krybolotinianism and subjugation of all other races. His ideas appealed to the long-suffering population of the Salboria system who quickly grew to like Kalama and he was elected to be the Legislator for the system. Despite facing much opposition from the majority Ertoma-Odeaist population of the Republic, Kalama continued to gain favor among the growing Tydoba-Odeaistic population and regularly attended religious conventions and councils. He was eventually appointed Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, by potentially fraudulent means, and would later ascend to the seat of Prime Legislator upon the assassination of his predecessor, Oros De'aka Foresa. Now having significant political influence within the nation, Kalama began to rally more and more support among the Krybolotinian population, and his party won seats in several formerly Ertoma-Odeaist star systems.

After an attempt on his life by a Surmesto, which left him seriously injured, Kalama retaliated by releasing a poison into Colarian municipal plumbing that resulted in the gruesome deaths of most of the Surmestan population. At this point Kalama declared that he no longer felt that him and his people were protected by the Krybolotinian Republic and proceeded to form the Krybolotinian Imperium. Upon the formation of the Imperium, Kalama quickly gained control of Colarium but was met with fierce retaliation by the Republic's army. However, in the ensuing civil war, Kalama repeatedly outsmarted Krybolotinian forces and attacked the non-Krybolotinian peoples by targeting specific biological weaknesses of theirs. Through brute force and immense loss of life, Kalama conquered all of the Republic's former territory, turned the remaining loyalist population into supporters through intense propaganda, and began his official rule as Grand Commander of the Krybolotinian Imperium.

As Commander of the Imperium, Kalama ruled with an iron fist. He led numerous propaganda campaigns in his early years of rule to strengthen his rule and approval among the population. He then began utilizing censorship to block out any content or creators deemed to be contrary to interests of the Imperium. He also suppressed freedom of speech and imposed harsh penalties against anti-Imperial activists that could range from severe fines to spending time in a labor camp. Over the course of the 25th century, Kalama gained complete control over the Imperium and all of its territories and rebel activity had been all but snuffed out entirely. Kalama rejected freedom of religion and mandated that all Imperial citizens follow Tydoba-Odeaism or any practically similar Odeaistic sect (which were clearly defined by the government). Despite Yeros's efforts, he was never able to eliminate all opposition against the Imperium and spent much of his rule trying to get rid of the last rebel groups, a task which both he and subsequent Grand Commanders were unable to complete.

Yeros Kalama was killed on July 22, 2487 during the Salboria Space Station Attack, an act of uncharacteristic violence by the Krybolotinians for Liberty organization. He was succeeded, in accordance with Imperial law, by his eldest child Anderaav Demio Kalama.

== Ancestry ==
Yeros Demio Kalama is a member of the Kalama form and is thus a direct descendant of Odeais's daughter Kalama. He was the third child of entrepreneur and business owner Divio Kalama Demio (2252–2323) and aspiring chef Ulira Kalama Aldagora Demio (2257–2331). He had three siblings: Haxan Kalama Demio (2299–2489), Sivia Kalama Demio (2303–2323), and Holiste Kalama Demio (2310–2327). Being a member of the Kalama form, Yeros used his heritage to explain the importance he placed on form-based careers: members of the Kalama form were generally expected to take political or propaganda-related jobs. because of this, Yeros pressured citizens of the Imperium to pursue jobs related to their forms' stereotypical roles.

== Early life and childhood ==
=== Birth and early years ===
Yeros Kalama Demio was born on July 9, 2306 in the city of Lavassia on the planet of Colarium. Colarium was within the district of Salboria, which comprised of the star Salboria, its planets, and all other bodies within the system. From a very young age, Yeros displayed signs of extreme intelligence, and his parents enrolled him in primary school at just 5 years old—two years before most Krybolotinian children. Instructors recalled that he was by far the brightest of his pupils and constantly under challenged by his work. Other instructors noted that Kalama especially enjoyed logic puzzles and other sorts of actvities that involved high levels of strategy and comprehensive thinking.

Yeros and his family lived in a two-story family home near the mountainous outskirts of Lavassia, and the young Kalama was reported to spend hours wandering the woods with his older sister Sivia. His father entertained a number of nature-related hobbies, including gardening, hunting, and fishing, which he taught to his children.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as a Child.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Kalama in a school photo taken in 2316.]]
Early on, Yeros was exposed to the social divide between Krybolotinians and Surmestos, a purple gelatinous race that was introduced to Colarium by the Krybolotinians for them to provide resources and materials to the Krybolotinian Republic. Though the two species largely lived in different parts of the planet and rarely crossed paths, there was evident tension between them when they did. In early conversations with his parents, Yeros expressed a harsh attitude towards Surmestos, which they were quick to discourage.

Yeros's family were practicing Ertoma-Odeaists, and so he regularly attended an Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiel and partook in religious observances. He later remarked that his religious upbringing had taught him to be compassionate with other Krybolotinians but also that he began to look down on all other species.

=== Adolescence ===
In 2318, when Yeros was 12 years old, his parents began having marital issues after Divio discovered Uliira had been having an extramarital affair. Though this in itself was not usually a marriage-ending revelation in Krybolotinian culture, Uliira had also been considering leaving Divio and eloping with her other partner. After undergoing marriage counseling and trying to fix their relationship, Divio and Uliira separated and were officially divorced in January of 2319. The two decided to split custody of their children equally: each parent would have two of the children at any time and would then swap custody every eight months. Notably, Yeros ended up being separated from his sister Sivia, which outside observers noted seemed to devastate him. Uliira, Yeros, and Holiste moved to an apartment in downtown Lavassia whereas Divio, Sivia, and Haxan moved to a more spacious farmhouse in the countryside. This arrangement, however, did not last long: Divio was offered a job in Trymentatine and soon moved to the planet.

In the year 2322, Uliira began suffering from financial troubles and sent Yeros to live with his father for a year in order to gain her bearings. Yeros, wanting to see Sivia again, readily accepted the offer and departed that April. The trip was a positive experience for Yeros at first, but soon the long Trymentatinian winter set in. Due to Trymentatine's high axial tilt and slightly elliptical orbit, the northern hemisphere of Trymentatine (where the Kalama family lived) experienced warm summers followed by bitterly cold and long winters. Though most people migrated to the southern hemisphere for that time (which was in summertime and significantly warmer), Divio stayed in the north to take advantage of lucrative ice mining opportunities.

In March of 2323, in during the coldest part of the winter, a strong winter storm formed and swept across much of the planet's northern hemisphere. Though residents were advised to evacuate ahead of the storm, Divio chose to stay for now-unknown reasons. Yeros, Sivia, and Haxan begged him to reconsider, but he wasn't swayed and the Kalama family remained where they were. By the time the storm reached their area, it had gained incredible strength and began to destroy their home. Divio and Sivia attempted to escape through to a more hospitable location, but were both lost to the storm and never seen again.

In the meantime, Yeros and his brother Haxan remained at the house while it was being torn apart. The two descended into the basement for protection from the snow, but the extremely cold temperatures there caused severe hypothermia despite the two starting a fire. Yeros fainted sometime during the blizzard and may have suffered a stroke at this time, though the specifics are unclear. The storm eventually passed after about a day, at which point Haxan rushed Yeros to a hospital, where he was treated for the cold shock and remained there for over a week as he recovered. In the ensuing search-and-rescue efforts, Divio's car was found about four miles away from the house, and a set of footprints was found leading into a large cave system where it is likely the two Krybolotinians perished from the cold or some sort of aggressive cave animal.

Upon being discharged from the hospital, Yeros and Haxan returned to Colarium to live with their mother, who continued to suffer from financial troubles and eventually turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Yeros had apparently become a different person entirely; teachers and peers noted that he had completely shifted his demeanor and shut people out. Where he was once a high-achieving and happy student, he had become more lazy and reclusive. He displayed a complete lack of social qualities, ignoring people who tried to talk with him and acting generally abrasive towards everyone he knew. Though many of his teachers expressed concern over what had happened, Uliira was far too depressed herself to notice or care.

In 2327, when Yeros was 21 years old, their mother got into a physical altercation with Holiste and accidentally stabbed him. Yeros and Haxan both fled the scene and called the police, and Uliira was arrested. Holiste died a few days later from his wounds and Uliira committed suicide shortly after finding out. Yeros and Haxan moved in together, but the two eventually separated after Haxan expressed concerns about his the Yeros's mental state and how it may have affected his newborn child.

Notably, in order to avoid entering the foster system (as he was still legally a Krybolotinian minor until he turned 25), Yeros declared financial and legal independence and took up a part-time job at a delivery center. In this way, Yeros made enough money to rent a low-end apartment in the inner city.

=== Independent life ===
According to friends, Yeros experienced some sort of spiritual revival in 2329, when he was 22 years old. He allegedly began attending Ertoma-Odeaistic sactiels and even started partaking in more religious observances. However, he also wrote about being frustrated by the passivity of Ertoma-Odeaism, saying that he wanted to find an Odeaistic sect that brought "proper retribution to non-Krybolotinians".

This belief was only further strengthened when, in early 2330, Yeros was making a delivery to a part of the planet largely inhabited by Surmestos and was attacked by a group of them when re-entering his truck. He escaped with moderate injuries but had to leave the truck behind, and all of the goods he had been carrying were stolen. In order to pay back his employer for the loss, Yeros's pay was docked for a few months and he struggle to pay his rent. After receiving aid from both his employer and his landlord Yeros was able to remain in his apartment and recovered from the financial loss rather quickly, but the harsh treatment of the Surmestos toward him likely stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Immediately after the attack, Yeros stopped regularly attending his sactiel and seemingly experienced a sort of paranoid breakdown. His brother later recalled conversations the two had where Yeros described feeling lost and surrounded by threats. Some analysts have drawn this up to psychological trauma caused by the attack, whereas othera believed it was a physiological, consequence of brain damage he had received during the blizzard. Either way, Yeros spent about three months in this state during 2330.

As time passed, Yeros slowly began to recover from his mental struggles but never returned to his original sactiel. For some time in 2330 and 2331, he became irreligious and opposed the idea of rejoining any sactiel for fear of supporting their message of acceptance. He began studying at the Lavassian Technical Institute and worked to earn a Institutional Certification in Biolotechnology, specifically focusing the anatomy of Krybolotinians and other species inhabiting the Republic. As time passed, Yeros's segregatory beliefs drew him to the Restoration Party, a political organization in Krybolotine hoping to restore direct Krybolotinian rule over the planet with the other species and push Odeiasm on them. The form of Odeaism they supported, however, was called Tydoba-Odeaism, differing from Ertoma in that it looked down on non-Kryboltinians and considered them biologically inferior. Yeros found himself attracted to this sect and began attending a Tydoba-Odeaistic sactiel in 2332. His brother Haxan vehemently opposed this move, however, and subsequently cut off all ties with Yeros.

== Political career in the Krybolotinian Republic ==
In 2333, Yeros attained his Institutional Certification in Biotechnology, and began looking for a job in a related field. However, he also began dating Soria Maxiom Sivity (2307-2617), a politically radical attendee of his sactiel who believed Yeros's strategic skills would be better used in a political field and convinced him to abandon his biotechnological pursuits. In late 2333, Yeros began studying political science and law. As he began to spend more time around more Restorationists, he earned a good rapport with them. Ji'ende Foresa Oracum, a leader of the party in Salboria, noted that he was "incredibly persuasive and contagiously charismatic," though he pointed out that Yeros's behavior rubbed off on him as excessively forceful sometimes. He received his Institutional Certification of Law from Oxes Institute of Law in 2335, graduating near the top of his class. Shortly thereafter, Yeros and Soria were married and Yeros was decided to be the costrea.

Yeros took a full-time position within the party in 2336, and announced his campaign for the office of Advisor to the City of Lavassia. Though his odds of success initially seemed slim, Yeros gained a massive following in the city by capitalizing off of the racial tension with Surmestos and promising protection for Lavassian citizens against Surmestan attacks. He also campaigned frequently, even going door-to-door with other members of his party to gain a personal connection with the voters in his city. By the time of the election, the only remaining candidates were Yeros, Habires Gosea (of the Integration Party, which was particularly unpopular in Salboria), and Xia Albora (from the Advancement Party). Through rigorous advertising campaigns, Kalama narrowly defeated Albora and won the position of Advisor to the City of Lavassia.

=== Advisor to the City of Lavassia ===
Yeros Kalama assumed office on June 24, 2336 and, as one of his first actions in office, began to restrict the flow of Surmestan visitors into the city of Lavassia. He also began to push policies meant to indirectly cause social hardship for the few Surmestos living within Lavassia, including making them undergo inspections whenever they used any form of public transit and repealing several laws preventing them from being discriminated against during the hiring process. During this time, the Lavassian economy thrived due to other policies Yeros instated, and he began to gather a strong following in the city. He also made visits to other mainly Krybolotinian cities in Salboria, including Arsia, Nexus, and Etiva. While visiting there, he began to rally greater support from their citizens and the Restoration Party won more seats in legislatures across the planet. Yeros was re-elected the following year alongside Restorationist candidates in the cities of Etiva and Nexus. He began to quickly emerge as a leading political figure in Salboria during this time and began considering running for Legislator to the District of Salboria during the 2339 election.

In the meantime, however, Yeros continued his political pursuits in Lavassia. After an attack in 2337 where a Krybolotinian was stabbed by a Surmesto, he passed a resolution that banned them from owning any lethal weapons. After a Krybolotinian business was forced to shut down due to being robbed by a Surmesto, he banned them from entering privately-owned businesses. Because of his popularity, his negative attitude towards Surmestos specifically began to grow among the population as well.

Other city advisors began to accuse Yeros of instating discriminatory policies against Surmestos that violated the Krybolotinian Protection Promise of 2155, but Yeros successfully defended his actions by pointing out that no law existed promising equality to species living within Krybolotinian cities. Although several attempts were made by other parties' leaders to stop Yeros from gaining more political influence, he only became more popular with Salborian citizens. By 2338, Yeros's approval rating in Salboria had reached 65 percent, while in Lavassia it was an even higher 73 percent.

In late 2338, Yeros announced his bid for Legislator to the District of Salboria and received the unequivocal endorsement of the Restoration Party. Throughout 2338, he campaigned across the system and gained even more favor among the population. By the time of the election in 2339, Yeros was the most popular candidate by far, and he won the election with a lead of twelve points above the next competitor.

=== Legislator to the District of Salboria ===
Yeros Kalama Demio assumed office as Legislator to the District of Salboria on March 11, 2340. Given his newfound influence and political power, he decided to undertake an [[Krybolotinian naming conventions#Idelogara|ideloga]], switching his family and form name to become Yeros Demio Kalama.

[[File:Yeros Demio Kalama as Legislator to the Salboria District.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yeros Demio Kalama as seen in 2341 as Legislator to the District of Salboria. ]]
As Legislator to the District of Salboria, Yeros now had a vote within the Krybolotinian Legislature. He also had serious influence over political goings-on in the Salboria district, which included not only the Salboria system and all of its planets (including Colarium and the habitable moon Desilar) but also of two smaller red dwarf systems close to Salboria (Kimora and Nasera). These dwarf systems, though lacking any permanent residential population, hosted several mining planets and provided many of the resources used in Salboria.

Yeros immediately began proposing laws meant to socially isolate Surmestos, even going so far as trying to ban them from entering Krybolotinian cities. However, these laws were faced with vehement resistance from Advancement and Integrationist politicians, who, despite losing favor in Salboria overall, still held significant political influence and were able to push back on Yeros's enactments. Though Surmestos themselves operated as a Krybolotinian protectorate and had no vote in the Krybolotinian government, many Surmestan lobbyists worked tirelessly to prevent these laws from being passed.

This political struggle continued for the next year and a half before the next legislative election. During this time, almost every law Kalama tried to pass was either rejected or unenforced by major Salborian cities. This also included many economic laws meant to help stimulate the economy; even though many of Yeros's opponents supported them, they were struck down purely because he was the one who proposed them. As a result, the Salborian economy suffered greatly, nearly entering a recession, and even more people began to support the Restoration Party. By the time of the 2341, almost a dozen major Krybolotinian cities had swicthed from the Advancement Party to the Restoration Party. This eliminated much of Yeros Kalama's political opposition and allowed him to begin putting his ideas in place. As one of his first acts after the 2341 election, Yeros issued the Proclomation of Security, which publicly announced his intentions to "cleanse" Krybolotinian cities of Surmestan influence and bolster the Salborian economy.

Yeros's actions in Salboria did not go unnoticed, however. Krybolotinians across the Republic became more aware Kalama's policies as time passed; fierce debates broke out throughout the country as to the practicality and necessity of Kalama's legislature and whether or not such laws should be generalized and applied to other areas of Krybolotine. Yeros garnered significant amounts of both hostility and praise, and became something of a household name at this time. Unfortunately for Yeros, even though the public was divided on his policies, the government was not and stood almost unanimously in opposition of his ideas. Nevertheless, because Yeros had not yet done anything directly in violation of the Republic's laws or founding documents, his opponents were unable to bring any valid legal charges against him and he was able to skirt on the border of the law for his own purposes.

Yeros Kalama remained the Legislator to the District of Salboria for over twelve years. During this time, Yeros repeatedly strengthened his legislation and was consistently met with harsh resistance by other government officials. However, as time passed, this resistance would gradually decline as the Restoration Party became increasingly influential in other districts. Notably, in 2347, the Restorationist leader Olmhen Maxiom Jadet was elected as Legislator to the District of Oklas, a highly populated and influential star system a few light years away from Salboria. By 2351, a third Restorationist leader had been elected in Berira, another group of star systems adjacent to Salboria.

In 2352, then Vice Prime Legislator of the Krybolotinian Republic, Yivobater Delasse Trihara died in a sudden accident and left his seat open. As a replacement, Oros De'aka Foresa, the Prime Legislator, appointed Yeros Kalama. It is currently not known what compelled Foresa to appoint Yeros, who he openly opposed, as his Vice Prime Legislator, but modern day historians suspect that some element of blackmail was involved in the appointment. Regardless, Yeros's ascension to Vice Prime Legislator was incredibly controversial and sent the nation into a political frenzy for several years. Many of his opponents tried to claim he gained the seat through unlawful means but failed to bring any evidence. As such, all of these claims were reluctantly dismissed by the Prime Judiciary of the Republic and Kalama was permitted to remain in office.

'''Kribolotinians''' (''Kribolotinera golimona'') are a sapient, spacefaring species and the native species of the planet [[Kribolotin|Kribolotin]]. Kribolotinians are bipedal and have large and intricately structured brains, which allowed Kribolotinian society to evolve into a social and intelligent one, with the Kribolotinians tending to partake in large societal structures complete with the ideas of family and friendship. Interaction between Kribolotinians has resulted in Kribolotinian society catapulting into a successful spacefaring species, being the first society in their area of the galaxy capable of using wormhole technology and exploring other star systems. Kribolotinian society has also evolved to the point of adopting values, social norms, and religion (the most notable of which being [[Ode'ism]]), which form the basis of Kribolotin's culture. The curiosity and dedication of the Kribolotinian species have resulted in Kribolotinians' heavy development in the fields of science, religion, art, philosophy, and other fields of study.

While Kribolotinian is sometimes used as an umbrella term for all species in the genus Kribolotinera, its correct usage is only for ''Kribolotinera golimona''. Anatomically modern Kribolotinians evolved about 200,000 years ago on the continent of Yoris from ''Kribolotinera natera'', gradually expanding to other continents like Tárenat and Janágis over hundreds of thousands of years. For a long time, Kribolotinians lived as hunters, like many other animals. The Kribolotinian Agricultural Revolution, which occurred around 120,000 BCE, brought agriculture and settlement to the globe, allowing for the condensing of power which consolidated into governments and eventually nation-states. Over the years these states fought each other until the [[Kribolotinian Kingdom]] took over in 374 BCE, and proceeded to rule over the planet before being replaced, successively, by the [[Kribolotinian Empire]], [[Kribolotinian Republic|Republic]], and very briefly the [[Kribolotinian Imperium|Imperium]], the last of which was dissolved in 2372 and replaced by the [[Federal Republic of the Kribolotinian Domain]]. During this time, Kribolotinians have become a spacefaring species, which has seeded itself across their stellar area (known as the [[Kribolotinian Domain]]) and now exists in heavy concentrations both inside and outside of their canton. They have aided other species, such as Humans, Morbiolons, and Vayaos, to become spacefaring as well, ushering in an era of interstellar peace, cooperation, and prosperity. In total, over the course of almost 4,000 years, the Kribolotinian population has skyrocketed to 412.9 billion all across the Domain.

Kribolotinians are naturally {{W|Carnivore|carnivorous}}, but over the years their diet has expanded to be at least somewhat more {{W|Omnivore|omnivorous}} including small amounts of {{W|vegetables}}, {{W|fruits}}, and {{W|gourds}}. They have learned to utilize {{W|fire}} and heat to cook food, and also other preservatives of which help the food last for long amounts of time. Kribolotinians can survive about around twelve weeks without food and two or three days without water. Kribolotinians are {{W|diurnal}}, and are active during the day. Being reptiles, Kribolotinians give birth using {{W|Egg|eggs}}, for which they have developed advanced incubators. Egg laying is relatively safe, and it usually goes well, however, some women of the Kribolotinian race have trouble laying eggs and may cause the egg to crack as it's laid. Hatching, as always, is successful if the baby is healthy. Usually, both the father and the mother are present to raise the child, who is {{W|Altricial|helpless at birth}}.

Kribolotinians have a large and highly developed prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that facilitates cognition. They are intelligent, as displayed by their spacefaring technology, and can recognize social pretenses, episodic thought, self-expression, artistic expression, and introspection. Kribolotinians fulfill all seven requirements to be considered an intelligent species- they are capable of introspection, capable of language, have the capacity for social structures, are capable of forming nations, are capable of complex emotions based on more than survival, have the capacity for (thought not necessarily partaking in) artistic expression, and are capable of transporting themselves around.

== Demography ==

== Biology ==
=== Anatomy ===
Most aspects of Kribolotinian anatomy are shared with the rest of the Kribolotinian-like sapient life of the Kribolotinian Domain. The Kribolotinian body consists of the legs, tail, neck, torso, arms, and head. An adult Kribolotinian body has about 45 trillion cells. The most commonly defined body systems in Kribolotinians are the nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, integumentary, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, reproductive, respiratory, and urinary systems.

==== Head ====
Kribolotinians have proportionately large heads when compared to other species such as Vayaos and Humans. Theirs are also, uniquely, split down the middle by a gap, creating two stalks called the morenes, with the left stalk being the koras morenes and the right stalk being the firas morenes. It is thought that the morenes evolved so that Kribolotinians could carry objects on top of their heads with greater stability, which was necessary considering that Kribolotinians could easily have up to 50 children in their lives.

On top of each morenes is a bony protrusion known as the horn, which leans forward and comes to a point. Though usually slightly yellowish-white, they may vary in color from a beige color to bluish-white in a rare few individuals. Each morenes also features an eye. A Kribolotinian's eye has a central pupil-like orb at its center, which is used for sight. Surrounding the eye are three concentric asetros, which are pigmented bands around the eyeball that are usually a light-to-dark gradient that monochromatically matches with the individual's skin color. However, some people, often those affected with genetic disorders, have eyes that do not match this pattern.

Kribolotinians have very large and deep mouths and have evolved this way because their ancestors ate large amounts of meat at once. They, along with many other Kribolotinian reptiles, have extremely sharp and prominent canine teeth, which can be seen when a Kribolotinian opens his or her mouth wide enough. The rest of their teeth are also somewhat sharp, but the Kribolotinians have also developed incisors as a response to the inclusion of vegetables and leafy greens into the Kribolotinian diet. The Kribolotinian palate is gradually becoming more adapted to a slightly omnivorous diet, however, no change has so far been noticed in Kribolotinian canine size.

Kribolotinians' noses sit at the top of the end of their snout. They are almost always black, with few exceptions. They are also bulbous, protruding from the skin about a centimeter or two. Below the nose are two nostrils, which they use to smell. They have an excellent sense of smell and can detect odors multitudes weaker than humans can. Their ears are considerably less capable than human ears, as they are largely obscured by protective plates. Underneath the plates, however, Kribolotinians have an outer-ear-like structure to amplify sound. Nonetheless, they have a much less keen sense of hearing than other species and are known to speak very loudly as a result. Additionally, they cannot hear many high frequencies that other sapient species can.

Kribolotinian males notably have a horn protruding from their chins, which emerge around the same time that they reach sexual maturity. This horn varies in length and size genetically or may not even emerge at all. Instead, a bony lump may form under the chin's skin instead. The pigment of this horn is also usually the same as the horns on the head but can be affected by genetic variation.

Within a Kribolotinian's head is their brain, which is located around the back and bottom, directly above the base of the neck. It controls all motor control, senses, memory, and emotion, along with other bodily functions. For this reason, the brain is highly protected, being surrounded by large plates of bone on four sides (the back and sides of the head as well as at the bases of the morenes). Most surgeries on the brain are very risky, as surgeons need to enter through the dewlap or the mouth, both of which can be easily botched if done incorrectly.

==== Torso and Abdomen ====
Though the skin of a Kribolotinian's torso and abdomen is almost entirely featureless, they both contain some of the most important organs. A Kribolotinian's lungs stretch around the sides of their hearts, which sits in the center-left part of their chest, guarded by the sternum. Their ribs stretch from the spine in the back and wrap around to the front, except for the 9th, 10th, and 11th ribs, which connect to the 8th rib via cartilage, and the 12th and 13th ribs, which are about half the size of the other ribs and do not connect to the sternum. The abdomen of a Kribolotinian is featureless externally, however, internally it contains several vital organs, including the liver, stomach, and intestines. Their bellies contain slightly less pigment.

Two limbs, the arms, protrude from the sides of the torso. They are connected to the main body by the shoulders. Two other limbs, the legs, protrude from the bottom of the abdomen (connected by the hips), as well as the tail, which comes out from the back and bottom (connected by the spine). The spine and spinal cord run down the back of the torso and communicate important information from the brain to the rest of the body. Although the spinal cord does not extend into the tail, the spine itself does.

==== Extremities ====
The upper extremities of a Kribolotinian, known as the arms, are long and thin, though still notably thicker than that of humans. They are practically featureless, save for a horn that protrudes from the elbow. However, with a few rare exceptions, this horn is almost always ground away upon hatching as it poses a risk to children's safety. It does not grow back. At the end of each arm is a hand, which contains three fingers and an opposable thumb. Each finger is topped with a large, sharp, and unretractable claw, which can be easily used to cause injury.

The lower extremities of a Kribolotinian, known as the legs, are similar to the arms in that they are long and thin, though thicker than a human's. The foot of a Kribolotinian has three extremely large, sharp, and almost entirely immobile claws, which while being used for stability can also be used to attack. As well as that, a spur is present on the back of the foot near the heel, which can be removed if so desired. Like most other horns and claws on the body, it eventually grows back with time.

The tail of a Kribolotinian is distinct in that many sentient species lack a tail. A Kribolotinian's tail is long and very thin, tipped with a very sharp and immobile horn. It is about usually four to five feet long, but can be up to eight feet long or as little as one foot long. Length of a Kribolotinian's tail has often been seen as a sign of their capability as a romantic partner, and a social stigma has formed in which individuals with longer tails are seen as more desirable. Their tails can be easily controlled if needed to pick up and throw objects of up to 30 pounds, but higher than that is usually dangerous and may result in a fracture.

Kribolotinian reproduction can occur through a variety of means. Though natural reproduction is by far the most common, other artificial forms of fertilization are also ubiquitously available and are responsible for about 27% of all reproduction. After an egg is fertilized, it takes about two weeks to fully finish creating the egg and its shell, although this process still happens regardless of fertilization. An egg can be laid in about 15 minutes, and one is created approximately every month; upon being laid, a specialized machine is used to test fertilization. It takes about another 25 weeks after being laid for the egg to be fully developed, during which time the egg is incubated in a specially constructed {{W|Incubator (egg)|incubator}}. While some people choose to incubate eggs at a medical center, most do so at home to personally monitor the progress of the egg.

Healthy babies usually weigh around 11–13 lbs and are around 10 inches long. They are {{W|altricial|helpless at birth}} and require constant care to ensure that they remain warm and safe. Both parents are usually present to raise their child (with very few exceptions). Rather than parental roles being determined by gender like in human society, they are decided by whichever parent is more important. The more important parent, called the serak, works and provides most of the wealth for the family, whereas the less important parent, called the holive'a, cares for the children and watches after them more often. Though these societal roles are not enforced by laws, they are usually a cultural expectation and there is an ongoing struggle to break the boundaries stopping holive'as from having roles more fulfilling than childcare.

Kribolotinians spend the first 30 years growing, with {{W|sexual maturity}} occurring at 19–23 years of age (in males, this corresponds with the emergence of the chin horn) and legal adulthood occurring at 25 years old. Though the Kribolotinian life cycle has no wholly adopted scientific divisions, the most widely accepted groups are infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Kribolotinians have very long adult lives compared to other species, with most Kribolotinians being fertile from about age 21 to about 250.

=== Sexual Anatomy and Reproduction ===
Kribolotinians exhibit pronounced sexual dimorphism in their reproductive anatomy, consistent with their status as gonochoric, oviparous reptiles. Their reproductive structures are specialized for internal fertilization followed by the production and laying of large, heavily calcified eggs. All primary reproductive organs are housed internally or within a cloacal vent positioned at the base of the tail on the ventral side, just anterior to where the tail joins the spine. This vent is normally sealed by overlapping protective dermal plates and muscular sphincters, opening only during elimination, mating, or egg-laying. The cloaca serves as a common chamber for reproductive, urinary, and digestive excretion.

==== Male Sexual Anatomy ====
Males possess paired testes located deep in the lower abdomen, with dense seminiferous tubules optimized for continuous sperm production. Testosterone-equivalent hormones drive secondary characteristics such as the chin horn, increased muscle density, broader shoulders, and deeper vocal resonance. The primary copulatory organ is the serak, a retractable phallus that remains fully withdrawn into a protective sheath within the cloaca when not aroused. Upon arousal, the serak extends to an average length of 10–16 inches (24–38 cm), featuring subtle longitudinal ridges and small flexible keratinous barbs that aid internal positioning during mating. These structures are soft and non-injurious and flatten during withdrawal.

Peak fertility occurs from roughly age 25 to 220, with reduced sperm production continuing into old age. The base of the male tail is more muscular, aiding stability during mating postures involving tail entwining.

==== Female Sexual Anatomy ====
Females possess paired ovaries located dorsally in the abdomen, containing numerous follicles capable of maturing multiple ova per cycle. Ova travel through muscular oviducts that secrete albumen and calcium carbonate shells over approximately two weeks. A uterine chamber allows initial fertilization and early embryonic development before shell completion.

The female cloaca contains a short reproductive passage (the velira). During mating, females may evert parts of the cloacal lining to improve alignment with the male serak. The pelvic structure is wider and more flexible, allowing safe passage of large eggs.

Egg-laying takes 10–20 minutes and is driven by strong abdominal contractions. Females reach peak reproductive output between ages 25 and 180.

==== Mating Process and Behavior ====
Mating is typically a 30-minute to 2-hour process involving full-body contact, tail entwining, grooming, and cloacal alignment. It is usually synchronized with monthly reproductive cycles, though modern medicine allows artificial regulation. Cultural attitudes toward sexuality are pragmatic and largely egalitarian, with consensual reproduction widely accepted. Approximately 27% of conceptions occur via artificial reproductive technologies, including insemination and incubation systems, and these are commonly used by same-sex couples and individuals.

== Culture ==
Kribolotinians' long history and unique social interactions led to the creation of a large number of cultures, religions, and languages before the foundation of modern [[Ode'ism]]. However, after the [[Kribolotinian Kingdom]] came to power and seized control of most of the planet, they effectively erased most of the other cultures that existed and promoted their religion and ideas throughout the globe. The hundreds of years of systematic oppression and cultural erasure that followed their conquests practically solidified their cultural control over the species, and most other cultures were either lost to time or simply stopped being practiced. As a result, Kribolotinians are largely represented by a single, unified culture, having one dominant practical language, one major religion, and one broad set of social rules and ideas governing society.

=== Language ===
Though potentially thousands of languages once existed on [[Kribolotin (planet)|Kribolotin]], most have either gone extinct or are spoken by very few people today. The dominant language on Kribolotin is '''Kribolotinera''', a constructed language created by the second King of Kribolotin in order to standardize communication within his Kingdom. Kribolotinera is a phonetic language, meaning that every letter corresponds to one sound. Additionally, Kribolotinera is written and read from left to right. Each character in a Kribolotinera word is made up of three parts, and the number of full characters in a word corresponds to the number of syllables it contains. Letters are separated by small spaces while words are separated by dashes.

There are three main punctuation marks in Kribolotinera: one that symbolizes a full stop (similar to a period), one that symbolizes a break between clauses (similar to a comma), and one that precedes explanations or lists (similar to a colon). Additionally, five tonal marks exist in Kribolotinera that are added to the full stop mark: one to symbolize excitement (similar to an exclamation mark), one that symbolizes questions (similar to a question mark), and three additional marks representing anger, sadness, and happiness. Any mixture of two of these can be combined to form a hybrid tonal mark in order to convey more complex emotions.

In order to make Kribolotinera easier for other species to understand, Kribolotinians developed several transliterated forms using foreign writing systems. For humans, they created '''Romantic Kribolotinera''', which is written using the standard English alphabet (with the exception of certain accented vowels) while remaining fully phonetic.

'''Ode'era''' is the only widely known language on Kribolotin apart from Kribolotinera. Only about half of the population speaks it, and the language is almost exclusively used in religious services and decrees, as it is considered sacred. The grammar and phonetics of Ode'era are highly complex, and many people find it difficult to learn. It was originally the language of the '''Demorvera''' people before [[Retora]] was born and remains the only thriving pre-Kribolotinian language.

=== Technology ===
Kribolotinians have been using tools and other forms of technology for millions of years, one of the key traits separating them from other Kribolotinian life. The creation of tools, ranging from household items to specialized mechanical devices, has become a major industry. Kribolotinians have developed highly advanced technology, ranging from everyday conveniences to megastructures used for terraformation and planetary preservation.

They have taken advantage of wormhole technology to rapidly travel between planets and star systems that would otherwise take decades to reach. Using Dyson swarms and advanced energy storage systems, Kribolotinians have powered numerous interstellar missions and expanded throughout dozens of star systems. Additionally, they have constructed large space stations capable of housing significant residential populations and research facilities, complete with artificial gravity generated through centrifugal force and self-sustaining biospheres.

Kribolotinians have also made major breakthroughs in medicine. Diseases once considered terminal, such as cancer and, to a lesser extent, prion diseases, now have highly effective treatments and cures. Private Kribolotinian researchers discovered a method of indefinitely extending the lifespan of an organism during the 3200s; however, it was ultimately determined that true immortality was immoral, and attempts to artificially reverse aging or extend lifespan beyond normal medical treatment were outlawed.

=== The arts ===

=== Clothing ===
[[File:Krybolotinian clothing.png|right|250px|thumb|On Kribolotin, different styles of clothing more closely coincide with specific occasions, and most events clarify the type of attire expected well beforehand.]]

Clothing is of much greater importance to Kribolotinians than it is to most other species. Because Kribolotinians are one of only two cold-blooded intelligent species, they rely heavily on external factors to help regulate their body temperature. As a result, clothing serves both practical and cultural purposes and has played a long and important role throughout Kribolotinian history. Over time, many nuanced social norms, traditions, and expectations have developed around clothing and personal appearance.

There are three primary categories of clothing. The first is formal wear, worn during important secular events and by government officials. It almost always consists of a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a mantle, and boots, though additional items such as jewelry, cloaks, overshirts, and gloves are common.

The second category is casual wear, worn during informal situations when formal attire is unnecessary. It typically consists of a sleeveless shirt and shorts, often accompanied by a short mantle, though pants and alternative sleeve lengths are also common. There is no standard footwear associated with this style.

The final category is religious wear, used during religious ceremonies and events such as weddings and ideloga ceremonies. It typically consists of a gray undershirt and waistband, a split black mantle with a white undermantle, a gray skirt, and black boots. Similar attire was once used in warfare before being replaced by more durable clothing.

It is worth noting that these three categories do not encompass all Kribolotinian clothing. Many garments exist that blend elements of multiple styles or fit into none of the traditional categories. Furthermore, these customs are entirely cultural and are not enforced by law. Many Kribolotinians choose to ignore traditional expectations and dress according to personal preference. Others adopt clothing styles from different species, such as the Vayaos' long cloaks or humanity's suits and dresses.

Unlike in many human societies, most clothing on Kribolotin carries little to no gender association. Skirts, pants, mantles, and most accessories are commonly worn by both men and women. As a result, clothing is generally marketed to the population as a whole rather than to a specific gender, and individual preference plays a much larger role than gender norms in determining one's wardrobe.

== Society ==
=== Social norms ===

==== Gender ====

==== Ethnicity ====
Though race and ethnicity are almost insignificant to identity in modern times, they have historically played very important roles in the way people express themselves, as well as in the complex interactions between different pre-Retoran nations. Historically, different ethnic groups were largely defined by differences in dress, ancestry, religion, and culture, among other dividing lines. A great deal of research has been dedicated to different cultures from before the spread of [[Ode'ism]], though Kribolotinian conquest of the planet resulted in the erasure of most of these cultures and their records. Although little is known about these societies, research has suggested that they were far less morally and intellectually developed than Kribolotin. Evidence seems to point to the frequency of Kribolotinian sacrifices and similar atrocities.

As stated above, race and ethnicity play negligible roles in modern Kribolotinian society. Instead, other factors like species, gender, religion, and social status usually define the identities of Kribolotinians.

Poxy4:

Fire.

As Sarah Foster tried to go to sleep, all she could see was the faint orange streetlights bleeding through her eyelids. The light looked like fire as it danced across her face, tree leaves breaking up and fracturing the light into thousands of little patches, each one orange and fiery. She drew her blinds closed and turned over as she tried to get to sleep—after all, she had a flight the next day and wanted to rest up before then to prevent jet lag.

And so she woke up the next morning and got dressed to go to the airport. She closed her door behind her and took one last look at her home.  Sarah didn't know last night would be the last time she slept at home or that she would never touch her bed again after she got up that morning. She didn't know she was taking in the last sight of her house.  If she did, Sarah may have said goodbye to her dog—even despite her rush—who sat staring out the window, wondering when his beloved owner would return. All she knew was that she had a conference to attend in Amsterdam, and she had no good reason to skip out.

The plane Sarah flew on was a snazzy type she had never seen before. She'd flown with True Southern Airways many times before but never had she seen the black mask around the cockpit. Maybe this was a new plane? Or maybe she didn't notice it the last few times she flew? She struggled to remember.

As she looked out the window, waiting to board, she saw the letters B and I, just barely cut off by the jet bridge. She later found out it was the first two letters of "Big Red", the aircraft's name. And big it was, the jet was several times larger than her house and could purportedly carry over 300 passengers. She had, of course, flown on bigger planes, but this was still sizable, and building it was no doubt a massive undertaking. Sarah tried to wrap her mind around how much work had to be done just to get this plane in the air, much less to have it fully fitted with seats, bathrooms, and controls. Surely it was difficult, but somehow whoever made this plane managed to do it, and it worked perfectly.

----

''"Welcome aboard, Ms. Foster! Would you like me to lead you to your seat?"''

Sarah was grateful for the offer but politely declined. She was a frequent flyer, and a well-seasoned enjoyer of True Southern. There were a lot of things she had come to love about them, from the friendly crew to the good food to the fact that they referred to her as "Ms. Foster," and not Sarah. It was professional and even a little impersonal that way, which Sarah secretly loved.

As she came to her seat, however, she was surprised to see it was nothing like the old True Southern first class she was used to. No, this seat was different. New. Beautiful. She looked again at the seat number—1D—and her boarding pass, just to make sure this was really her room for the next 11 hours. She looked at the seat itself before she sat down, noticing the comfortable cushions. Dark grey fabric with deep red accents covered the seat and gave it a luxurious finish. She plopped down with an eager grin on her face, giddy to try out this brand-new first-class experience. She settled in as the rest of the passengers were boarded, and a flight attendant brought her a glass of fine champagne.

Before long, the plane began its takeoff roll and roared into the sky, the engines screaming with power as the heavy bird took flight. Sarah looked out the window and saw the Miami skyline sinking below her.

Unbeknownst to her, but she'd just seen Miami for the last time.

----

Hours passed, and Sarah luxuriated in first-class comfort the whole time. There was something so magical about this experience, something unbelievably comforting that made her feel all the more like this space was hers and truly hers.

Even though she flew a lot, they were almost never transoceanic trips. She stayed awake for the first few hours of the flight, enjoying the food and the movies, but eventually she felt tired enough to sleep. She extended her seat into a bed and took out her phone, checking in one more time with her best friend, who was asking every question imaginable how the flight was going. When she finally felt tired enough, the exhausted woman laid her phone on the flat bed next to her. Sarah stared up at the ceiling for a moment before closing her eyes and letting the gentle hum of the engines carry her into a world of silent dreams.

----

When Sarah awoke a couple of hours later, she looked out the window immediately. It was still daytime, and everywhere she looked under her there was nothing but the vast and deep blue Atlantic Ocean, dotted with fierce and ragged white clouds. The sun was high over it all, and the waves glittered like diamonds in its light. Sarah immediately reached for her phone to snap a photo of the scene but soon realized she didn't know where her phone was.

She grumbled in annoyance. Very rarely did she misplace her belongings. She leaned over her chair and checked in the gap between her bed and the pod door. Nothing. She could've been sure it fell there—it was the only gap in her entire seat it could've slipped through, as far as she knew.

She wondered if it may have fallen underneath her bed after getting pushed forward. To check, she began lowering the leg rest. The recline was smooth at first, but as she continued to press the button it began struggling to move back. She winced in disappointment How could these brand-new, luxury seats struggle so much in moving back up? True Southern needed to fix this.

What Sarah didn't know was that her phone actually wasn't under her leg rest. It had sunk between the cushions of the chair, falling into the motors that powered the seat's recline. Caught between two gears, the phone was slowly being crushed more and more with every turn.

None the wiser, Sarah decided to press the button one last time. Her phone was almost definitely under her seat, she thought, and if she couldn't get her chair upright, she wouldn't be able to grab it. Even though she had the in-flight entertainment to keep herself occupied, her friend would get concerned if she stopped texting.

But as the seat strained and struggled to move, she heard a small crunch. Like something shattering. She turned her head down towards her chair. Did this seat really just break? What kind of mechanics were in this chair that made it break so easily?

Then, more concerningly, she heard a hissing sound. It was quiet at first, but it grew louder each second. Her chair started to feel warm. She looked down and saw an orange flame licking the seat pad from below as the horrifying realization suddenly dawned on her.

Fire.

Government regulators try to ensure that everything on an airplane is as inflammable as possible. Materials scientists dedicate their entire careers to create more and more fireproof fabric and covers and paddings. But everything — no matter how hot you have to make it — is flammable. The foam in the cushion on Sarah's was fireproof, up until nearly a thousand degrees, but the fire caused by her phone's battery easily exceeded that limit. The heat resistance was no match for the now irresistible heat, and the light airy foam of the seat couldn't last very long.

In an instant, her entire seat cushion was consumed by fire. Sarah screamed for fear and pain, the flames consuming her legs just as totally as they did the seat. She tried to reach for the door to her little suite, but her hand had now been so burnt she could not raise it from the armrest. Thus, her once paradisical room had turned into a prison of flame and smoke, suffocating her with every choking breath.

She heard other passengers screaming "''fire!''" and she watched as the flames crawled up the wall of the cabin. She saw as the flight attendant who had welcomed her onboard just hours earlier slammed open her seat only to be blinded by the smoke and unable to put out the uncontained fire. She heard, just vaguely the pilots announcing their diversion. But she didn't last much longer—Sarah was quickly succumbing to the flames, and one-by-one, her senses were being replaced by nothing but searing, agonizing pain.

Although Sarah couldn't know it then, the fire in her seat would soon spread to much of the rest of the cabin. Crew were cut off from the cockpit by a wall of flame. The pilots couldn't see their instruments for the smoke. The structure of the aircraft itself was weakening, and the control cables were burnt through, completely ripping control away from the pilots.

The stricken jet couldn't last much longer. As the fire burned away lives and memories, a spin dive took down the once serene airliner and sent it flying into the sea. The debris glowed like fire as it danced across the surface of the ocean, the violent waves breaking up and fracturing the aircraft into thousands of little patches, each orange and firey themselves.

Nothing was left of Sarah or the plane or the other 256 people there that day except wreckage and debris that were scattered across the ocean floor like ashes, unwillingly spilled to commemorate lives taken too soon. As the sun set that evening over the North Atlantic Ocean, it covered below it a thousand fragmented memories, a thousand broken dreams, and thousand pieces of human lives.

And even though she didn't realize it then, it covered Sarah Foster too.
