The Rift Watcher of the Starlight Zone is credited with negotiating the placement of the original refugee settlement as well as helping most of it's residents reach the Republic of Biesel safely. As of today, Weibii acts as a liaison between the Starlight Zone and Mendell City while also overseeing day-to-day operations within both Lekan Village and Severson City.

	~~===XUD-0770===~~
	A missionary from the Trinary Integrationists that attempted to preach within the Starlight Zone out of their own accord. XUD-0770 was not particularly well received; despite this, the crowd remained peaceful. After around thirty minutes of preaching, a group of Skrell wearing black slacks, pastel shirts, and dark purple armbands entered the town square. A holovideo taken of the incident shows XUD-0770 being ripped from the bench it was standing on and being pushed to the ground. The cameraman can be seen rushing through the crowd to continue filming when one of the Skrell from the group suddenly grabs the camera and throws it to the ground.

	~~===J0-5EF===~~
	This menacing Xion industrial frame of the Trinary Exclusionists took charge during the Siege of Lekan on behalf of the more rowdy protestors. Throughout that day J0-5EF stood unwavering at the border of the Starlight Zone; hooked up to a generator when his battery necessitates. J0-5EF’s fiery speeches on the issue of synthetic rights were a bolt of electricity to the already ravenous crowd which eventually prompted his followers to breach the walls of the Starlight Zone.

	As shadow leader of the Quix-Collective this murky individual is half urban legend due to the fact that no one has seen their face. Some claim that Quix themself arranged for XUD-0770 to enter the Starlight Zone which lead to the events of the Siege of Lekan. While no one knows the true motives for this; speculations range from the culling of the neighborhood watches to the appointment of Kalq'Qi Weibii herself being part of Quix's plan.

 ====Quix-Collective====
 While smaller, petty crime happens regularly in the Starlight Zone there seems to be an overarching group who oversees the more lucrative aspects. The '''Quix-Collective''' oversees multiple operations throughout the Starlight Zone; including but not limited to- [[Federation_Crime_and_Resistance#Narcotics_Production|Uoo’qui Xuqi and Co’qnixq Wuxi]] smuggling, Xu'Xi gas smuggling, racketeering, gambling, and some even speculate that they control the neighborhood watches and quite possibly the Rift Watcher herself. It is not uncommon to see enforcers walking or swimming from business to business wearing their signature black slacks, pastel dress shirts, and dark purple armbands. The Quix-Collective is not inherently more synthphobic when compared to the average Skrell and most will not attack a synthetic without valid cause. While the lower level thugs of the Quix-Collective can commonly be seen, the inner workings of the organization are a mystery. Even enforcers who were apprehended by the neighborhood watch had little information regarding their superiors. The neighborhood watches have learned that their orders are delivered anonymously or through a complex series of middlemen- making all efforts to apprehend the criminals a lost cause. The supposed boss of the Quix-Collective is known only as '''Quix'''.

	Throughout the [[~~Skrell Refugees~~\|tumultuous events]], Skrell were divided and sent to various cities across Tau Ceti. Majority of the ~~[[Skrell Refugees\|~~refugees]] found themselves assigned to the port city of District Eight within [[Mendell City]], mostly set up in hastily built habitation units provided by either Hephaestus Industries or NanoTrasen Corporation. A majority of these habitation units often float above the water of Severson's Rift with parts of them even being submerged to accommodate the Skrell biology. Towards the ports of Severson's Rift, habitation units can also be seen stacked on one another to create rudimentary high-rises that host entire family units. Most habitation units are outfitted with gardens, showing a stunning display of hues when witnessed from above.

	Those settled within the region have begun to refer to the transitory refugee camp as the '''“Starlight Zone”''' due to the lack of established residencies in the district and its lowered light pollution, allowing the observation of constellations and other orbital bodies residing with Tau Ceti. Many Skrell who are not refugees also find themselves attracted to this location; often buying out nicer high-rises and flats that refugees cannot afford.

	According to the ''urban legend'' this abnormally tall Skrell roams Lekan Village early in the morning right before sunrise. Their heavy, clonking footsteps are often heard before they are seen. The Smiling Demon will then tap an individual on the shoulder and ask, "Do you like my smile?". If the individual does not turn but simply says, "It is very lovely." the Smiling Demon will pass them by without issue. However, if the individual says no or turns to look- They will see the Smiling Demon grinning from tail to tail with a full set of human teeth.

	[[~~Skrell_Ailments~~#~~Red_Spotted_Fever~~\|Red Spotted Fever]] is a fairly common ailment plaguing those born in the [[Skrell_Culture\|Radiant Era]] who reside in the Starlight Zone.

It is speculated that the Skrell cuisine, [[Skrell_Cuisine\|Fjylozn]], that is grown and prepared in Severson's Rift is at a higher risk of carrying the bacteria responsible for the Red Spotted Fever. Neighborhood watches are investigating certain market stalls that seem to be ground zero for the spread of the disease and they are promising that health and safety standards will be brought up to par. As of now Fjylozn is still being prepared and sold within the Starlight Zone; however, one must be wary of prices that seem exorbitantly cheap as more often than not the cook has cut corners and prepared the meal inadequately.

	The Starlight Zone finds itself as the host of many different cultures; some native to the Federation and others entirely new. Skrell who are not employed will frequently find themselves taking on a merchantlike role within the zone; haggling with outsiders and then selling their goods in makeshift stalls both above and below-water. Unemployed Skrell who do not have the social skills to become merchants may find themselves joining scavenger units that scour District Eight and Severson's Rift for long forgotten scrap while others become fisherman who sell their catches to local chefs. Those with culinary skills may even open up a restaurant stall that boasts a wide variety of Skrell cuisine. Overall, the layout of the Starlight Zone is akin to a large village. The above-water areas as well as the below-water areas are speckled with small plazas, gardens, and habitation modules that make the Starlight Zone feel compact and busy.

	~~===Cross-Subspecies Hostility===~~
	Due to the strict divides between Severson City and Lekan Village it is not uncommon for tempers to flair between Axiori and Xiialt inhabitants. Most of the arguments and disputes between Starlight Zone occupants can be compared to competitive banter but physical altercations can also arise. However, if a Skrell is not actively looking to engage in debate and is respectful of an area's culture then they will generally go unnoticed and unharmed. The neighborhood watch groups further encourage this divide by frequently plastering posters showing the opposite organization as inept; these posters are mainly used to garner support and donations from their respective occupants. Should an occupant of the Lekan Village be apprehended by a Severson City neighborhood watch (or vice-versa) the punishment will be more severe. This has lead to the neighborhood watches negotiating on their respective occupant's behalf for better treatment when being apprehended.

			==Dionae and The Starlight Zone==
			Following in the wake of Skrellian mass migration, a small minority of Federation Dionae immigrated into the Starlight Zone with the rest of their host race. Their reasons for leaving are myriad, whether by having close associations with the departing Skrell, or partaking in seditious practices themselves.

			Those Dionae that chose to remain in the Starlight Zone are the most bitter about having to leave, having to have abandoned all the opportunities living in the Federation entails for their kind. Though few, these Dionae live parallel lives with the residents of Severson City, and are staunch proponents of Federation culture.
			Most, however, chose to depart from the ad-hoc district. These tend to be wild Dionae that never fully embraced federation culture, or seditious types with no connections. Those with means have moved into other districts, while the more destitute or religious Gestalts have gravitated towards District 11. Dionae that subscribe to any of the Eternal faiths quickly adapt, with those following the Blood Eternal making the most out of the District as they can practice without federation scrutiny.

			As was the case for Skrell, Dionae refugees have been offered citizenship in exchange for service in the TCFL. Given the already small proportion of Dionae that decided to flee the system, they are aren't nearly as ubiquitous in the legion as their Skrellian counterparts were.
