	The Kolyan people are unique hardy when faced with atmosphere, with a system capable of processing a far less ideal atmosphere than that of Earth. However, this is imperfect; the nature of the planet Kolya's atmosphere and geological activity means that the atmosphere is often prone to changing, both quickly and slowly. Kolyan people are almost universally known to wear a rebreather or gas mask that helps compensate for this, relying on their physiology to make up for what the mask cannot fully filter. This also necessitates the use of masks on other worlds, however, giving the Kolyan their trademark look, clad in full suits and wearing dark or glowing goggles and masks, giving their voice a raspy, harsh tone.

	Kolya is a tidally locked planet in orbit around a Class M star that the colonists named Dažbog, after the Slavic god of the sun. The sun itself is a red giant, and is otherwise unremarkable. Kolya is one of five planets, and the only one to develop any sort of life, despite it's harsh environments. The other planets in the system are Aglaya, known for having a strangely unmarked and almost polished surface; Gleb, a gas giant similar to Sol's Jupiter; Irinei, a Mars-like dusty planet; and finally Stas, a distant icy world with a subsurface ocean. These worlds have been insufficiently explored except for Gleb, which is used for harvesting Helium-3.

It is also an icebox world, after a fashion; the night side of the planet is locked in a permanent winter, covered in glaciers, frozen landscape, and icy seas. The reverse side of the planet is it's literal reverse; a large and extremely warm tropical sea, permanently locked in the heat of the sun.

	The planet itself is easily labeled as a icebox hellworld; despite it's mineral wealth and rich soil, it is wracked with storms and volcanic activity that have created an atmosphere mostly toxic to humans. The tidally locked nature of the planet means that only select sections of the planet are accessible for humans, mostly locked into the warm clusters of what were thought to be mantle plumes that dot the twilight belt of the planet. The planet was extensively covered by precursors ruins, yet apparently left alone in many ways, a fact that led to it developing it's own unique ecology. The psuedo-mantle plumes on the night side of the planet are hotspots of growth as well, abet with life adapted for life completely in the dark, while the day side is covered mostly in warm global sea where the storms that wrack the planet gain steam.

	Despite the high gravity the planet Kolya, the average male Kolyan stands just over six feet tall at 183 centimeters. This unnaturally high height is one of the few externally obvious side effects of the genetic tampering that the entire population of Kolyan has undertaken. The average male weighs 120.2 kilograms, or just about 265 pounds, and has strong heart and lungs, as well as other organs, joints and bones; this due to the high gravity of their world necessitating a stronger frame and organs, most of all a strong heart. ~~These effects~~ tend to ~~make~~		Despite the high gravity the planet Kolya, the average male Kolyan stands just over six feet tall at 183 centimeters.

Women tend to be shorter then males, as standard for humans, but to a lesser degree then a standard human population.

	~~WIP~~		The Kolyan people tend to have light skin and hair as a result of living in the perpetual semi-darkness of their world's habitable 'twilight belt.' Their eyes, however, are nearly universally white or off-white, as well having pupils that take a majority of the eye. Additionally, they have a tapetum lucidum behind this over-sized pupil, granting them far greater low-light vision then that of normal humans, augmented by the larger pupil allowing a greater amount of light into the eye. However, this also makes their eyes sensitive in bright lights and be wary of sudden flashes, requiring them to wear light-dampening goggles most of the time, as well as a body suit to protect their fair skin from UV radiation and the other effects of the toxic atmosphere. Although less noticeable, their eyes are also more rounded then that of a baseline human, a minor change that has a dramatic effect when combined with their larger pupil: the average Kolyan has a field of vision approaching 270 degrees, as opposed to just 180 degrees of that of a normal human.

	The secret of Kolyan technological advancement is also one of it's greatest military and political secrets, one that that has, secretly, factored into their funding of a massive military and large focus on remaining well trained and well armed at nearly all times. The best kept secrets, of course, are ones that have been partially told, and such it is with Kolya; it is fairly common knowledge that a number of the mantle plumes that colonization ~~efforst~~ have settled are, in reality, formed by the waste heat of large posthuman data cores. However, the greater secret, known only to the highest echelons of power, is that amongst these data cores exists a partially functioning transcendent artificial intelligence, a legacy of the posthumans, that is unable to access a full range of it's functions and has been functionally enslaved by the Kolyan government. ~~Codenamed~~ Hors, ~~this~~ dark secret is the key to the Kolyan technological advantage, even out in the far reaches out space.

This being is codenamed Hors, after a slavic deity of the winter sun, healing, survival, and the triumph of health over illness; so named as it was key to the Kolyan people flourishing on the world they'd been stuck with.

			Hors is dark secret that is the key to the Kolyan technological advantage, even out in the far reaches out space, and one they will go at great lengths to protect.
