Kalixcis is a planet residing in the Bezuts system, that I know very little about. A standout feature of the place is that it grew two WHOLE sentient, spacefaring species; ain't that wacky.

Structure

People here live in ever-shifting found families, which is pretty based. This section name is just taken directly from the SolGov page, but could probably be swapped for Government or Factions or something since this is like, a planet. Not everywhere has a unified structure or whatever. Maybe this works.

Notable Faction

This is a useful heading for, like, individual countries and what they do. Maybe a megacorp controls one.

Culture

check out my awesome ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+f skills

Kalixcians highly value self-determination and living the life one believes is right for themselves. Often, they choose names for themselves that embody what they do or how they want to live life. A Kalixcian (Kalixci?) engineer might make their name Snips-The-Wires, whereas one who prefers to live alone might take the moniker Walks-Lonely-Miles. Note that these names are translations to Galactic Common, and do not carry their full intonation like they would in regional dialect.

Kalixcians do not believe in involuntary association, and their lives are lived accordingly. Kalixcian young are raised communally until the age of 7 (approximated to Earth cycles), where they choose a “family” that generally represents a “way of life” they think suits them. Membership in these families is generally quite fluid, as Kalixcians switch between them depending on their current ideals and desired way of life.

Their spacefaring organizations function largely the same way. Several different families maintain different views on the purpose of life in space. As these families rise and fall in popularity, new ones appear that represent new ways of living and lines of thought.

Celebrating diversity and identity is one core part of Kalixcian culture, but another is the explicit development of new families as a sort of social scientific process. Some Kalixcians dedicate their lives to the discovery of new variations on the mix of lifestyle and ideals that consists a family. Whether writing philosophical papers or eking out life in new and exciting niches, the Kalixci are unique in their incredibly active attempts at creating new ways of life.

Sarathi evolved alongside Elzuosa on Kalixcis, and as such their culture is shared between them, freely being parts of the same societies and families. Elzuosa are, however, much rarer than Sarathi, having a lower overall population.

Sarathi Culture

Notable subcultures should have their own subheaders, probably.

Elzuosan Culure

eat lightbulb lol lmao

Relations

NanoTrasen was initially a Bezuts-adjacent venture, so Kalixcis probably still has good ties with it?

Playing a member of this faction

you ain't from kalixcis if you ain't done this:

  • Three-word names
  • Eat hot chip
  • Feel more comfortable with a found family like your crew
