Line 8: }} Little is known about the inhabitants of νίκη. They call themselves the Kalit and do not believe themselves to be native to the planet. Instead inaccording ~~their~~to ~~history~~them, their ancestors were placed on the planet by the Overlords to mine its resources. Eventually the Overlord’s empire fell and the Kalit were abandoned to their fate on νίκη. In the early conversations between the Concord’s exploratory fleet and the Kalit it became clear that the Overlords and the Jailors were one and the same, and much to the horror of many in the fleet the Kalit are still able to replicate some Jailor technology. Despite this snag the Kalit were amicable to joining the Concord of Mutual Disdain, and have agreed to restrict the sale and transport of Jailor technology off planet.

They are born from obelisks and statues crafted by others. However, awakening a new Kalit from an inanimate monument is an extended and uncertain procedure. Statues need to be made from materials of the highest purity, and sculpted with flawless precision. These monuments are called Kaluluwa (Ka-lu-lu-wa). Many Kalit spend decades making a single statue. When a monument is completed the sculptor needs to meditate by its creation for months before it can awaken. Even then, some statues never awaken. Perhaps due to some overlooked imperfection or the sculptor being subconsciously dissatisfied with their creation. When a Kalit awakens, the statue is filled with a rippling colourful light that stays with them as long as they live. The makeup of minerals blend and mix, creating shifting patterns. Their form also softens somewhat, allowing them to move with grace and precision. The artistic expression of the sculptors has resulted in a Kalit population of varying appearances. A fair amount are humanoid, but often with more than just two arms. Obelisk Kalit cannot die from old age, but if they are considerably damaged their light will fade and they revert to inanimate statues. ===Siebe Kalit===
