Kyrie

Kyrie is a term used originally for the nine core species of Dinosaur people that formed the original Republic of the Kyrie Galaxy, though it now refers to all the myriad sophont species of the united Republic. The term is worn by pride by participants in this democracy, and is said to represent the traditional Dinosaur people ideals of diversity, freedom, social and political justice, commerce and Pangalexenicism, the belief that the galaxy(or entire universe) should be united under one distributed Intergalactic Government. Thus, Kyrie also represents a concept, similar to the Zulu "ubuntu", an idea that all people of the Kyrie Galaxy should strive to replicate in their personal, interpersonal, and social lives. Kyrie, or civic virtue, is also separate from and sometimes conflicting with the more religious idea of Irenic Piety, followed by the Ireneists. Recently, the concept of Kyrie has been adopted by many on the world of Rawarab, though it is here that the conflict between Kyrie and Irenic Piety has grown to higher levels than in most worlds of the Republic. However, many have harmonized the two concepts, and a stable tradition of the "Two Truths" exists in many parts of the galaxy and most Ireneists there.
