Unbound of any type: (RGB 0, 80, 60)

Bound Workers: (RGB 41, 59, 26)

The second youngest of the Klaxian queens, Leto'yahkt'zor's brood is home to the hives general Ka population. Food production and logistics are common duties for the bound. Still more bound and unbound get shipped out of system for work throughout known space. To other broods amongst the Klax, Leto'yahkt'zor spawn share a furtive mania of digging up the past that is often seen as annoying. Even 2000 years removed from their native area of space, Leto'yahkt'zor and her brood still try to trace any artifacts found back to the Era of Augments or even further. Citing a long discredited and disbelieved theory that ancient aliens interfered with their species so long ago. While dueful to their hive, the Ka and Za of Leto'yahkt'zor's brood tend to share her obsession with the past, seeing it as the only way to return to the glory of old. Letyk'aht'zor herself believes much the same, and has come to the conclusion that older races of the galaxy need to be examined.

Upon Tret itself her brood continues providing logistical support and structures for the hives growing colony. Building roads or providing traffic control of Tret space for various Non-Vaurcan vessels. Her brood often interacts with non-Vaurcan entities and may own advanced voice implants to allow unimpeded speech. Unbound Klax of Leto'yahkt'zor's brood tend to hold their personal beliefs closely, with great offense taken when they are mocked. Leto'yahkt'zor herself has developed an obsession of sort with the Vox, kindled after gaining access to many skrell and human research papers on their sordid history. It is her belief, that the similarities between Vaurca and Vox technology are not happenstance, that with the all but assured destruction of Sedantis, finding the Voxian homeworld is their last, best chance at reclaiming the past. An effort she has committed considerable resources to, much to the displeasure of the other Klaxian queens. It is partly because of this, and of Nanotrasens mining presence on Tret, that Letyk'aht'zor brokered several agreements with Nanotrasen. as well as several other administrations of Humanity. Leto'yahkt'zor is committed to restoring what was, and to gain access to all corners of the galaxy to find the means to do so.

Letyk'aht'zor's VR is a curious mix of several ancient alien structures and environments. The Klax within this VR spend time examining human, dionae, tajaran, unathi and skrell history for any evidence to their claims or the location of the Voxian homeworld. Each species has a section of the VR of their own, with whole environments recreated. In particular, the legendary Tomb of the Emissary is of great interest to Leto'yahkt'zor, with entire swaths of Moghean desert recreated in an attempt to divine its location. Several offers have been made to the unathi clans of Imas'hi for this information, yet so far all offers have been rebuked. For humanity in particular, the Great Pyramids are prominent within this simulated landscape. Ka and Za pour over xeno-history, noting dozens of human hieroglyphics that depict a bipedal vox-like god. All these and more have caught her broods attention as possible evidence with more sources being sought from other species to confirm their findings.

Recent Events

Leto'yahkt'zor's brood have of late been working to reduce the shortage of food across Vaurcan colonies, namely the ones on Tret. She was unable to successfully create large k'ois farms on Tret itself due to a number of reasons, chief among them being the fact that the predominantly human population of Tret, albeit small, would be at risk of contracting phoron poisoning, and even mycosis. Thus Leto'yahkt'zor's brood had to take a rather unorthodox method of agriculture, asteroid farms.

Leto'yahkt'zor herself had the idea of utilizing an asteroid field near Pid, Tret's only natural satellite, as an area for growing k'ois. Due to the nature of k'ois, being that it can grow virtually anywhere except for places that are overly wet, planting the spores on the asteroids was not only possible, but rather simple. The process is rather uniform and is typically maintained by bound Ka along with a breeder acting as a supervisor. The process itself involves hurdling spores onto a selected asteroid, with numerous bound then examining the asteroid to make sure the spores actually stuck. Then over the course of a couple of days, the spores are left to grow freely, usually enveloping the entire asteroid with ease. Bound workers are then sent to examine the final product, and ultimately harvest them all, leading to a large amount of k'ois being available for consumption.

There is one major complication with this form of agriculture however, that being solar radiation. This is a problem due to the fact that, without shielding from it, k'ois and its spores are incinerated. This means that k'ois can only be planted and grown on the side of asteroids not facing the sun. The main problem with this, other than the fact that much of the asteroid is unfarmable, is that ships passing by are usually unawares of the nearby farm. What appears to be a harmless asteroid field (as harmless as one can be, anyway) on one side, is then found to harbor a ghastly yellow glow on the other. Said ships are usually infected with spores by the time the pilots or passengers lay eyes on the harrowing sight, leading this particular asteroid field to be known as "The Cursed Asteroids".
