+	for society. This belief has gained traction in the Traverse following the fall of Glorsh and by some Skrell living beyond the Federation. These followers within the Federation tend to be shunned, \
+	with authorities claiming their brutal and 'uncivilized' ways set a bad precedent for Skrell throughout the galaxy. Moreover, most Skrell are not physically gifted, and are often outclassed by most \
+	other species. Still, followers of the Suur'ka beliefs train their body and mind to handle a variety of different circumstances. Training centers exist but are usually privately \

+	After the fall of Glorsh-Omega, this belief has seen significant traction amongst both foreign Skrell and domestic, as many Skrell are now wary about the threat of a collective \
+	entity, whether that be artificial or biological. This belief system enforces the Ya'Qu, or ‘the right to live', a saying that is similar to the human ‘live in the moment'. As \
+	such, the Skrell following the Kir'gul belief system often are explorers, artists, or other such creators, and reject authority in favor of individuality."
