-The roots of the [[:kavkem]] [[:kavkem:society:organisations|organisation]] **Shy͡ilun** (a strongly abbreviated //prenysh// (free/unbound) and //yilun// (future)) lie in the mythology //Hes̈i [[:kavkem:mythology:Akynkulla]]// - the belief that the only way the kavkema can possibly claim a niche for themselves is to fight for the planet they've been stranded on.
+~~REDIRECT>:kavkem:society:organisations:shy͡ilun~~
-Both for the [[:Nayabaru]] and any kavkema in the know, //Shy͡ilun// is most notable for being the organisation [[:character:Evenatra]] (the mythological //[[:kavkem:mythology:Tamas̈elu]]//) is actively affiliated with.
-===== Prevalence =====
-Some number between every third or every fourth kavkem can be said to be affiliated with //Shy͡ilun//, although the density is traditionally //considerably// greater on [[:planet:Nekenalos:Asheenagiji]] than anywhere else on the planet. That said, after the [[:planet:Nekenalos:Tabraan]] pushback from //A Thread Between The Stars//, the density on Tabraan began to exceed that in Asheenagiji.
-===== Structure =====
-//Shy͡ilun// is organised into **shards**, each which enjoy relative autonomy and their own name. A shard typically consists of kavkema specialised for several different tasks useful to //Shy͡ilun// - scouting, attack, sabotage, infiltration and intelligence, theft - but nonetheless as a whole specialises on the one or other topic, so that some shards are considered more proficient in thievery than at the other topics.
-**@todo Neike has notes about shard structure that should go here.**
-===== Effectiveness =====
-On a whole, //Shy͡ilun// is likely a net gain for the kavkema, on two levels - it does achieve goals and it gives the kavkema hope they would otherwise not have.
-That said, it is often true that //Shy͡ilun// missions over time will average to little more than a zero sum game - they tend to lose as many kavkema to the Nayabaru as they manage to free from them. The actual number might be closer to 1.1 kavkema rescued for every 1 kavkem lost, but it's nothing to write home about, and it only takes one bad day to destroy the statistic for one particular shard of unhappy kavkema.
-The greater benefit to the //Shy͡ilun// missions is that they gain more //information// over time - every kavkem they rescue can tell them more about the current state of the Nayabaru.
