Editing Komra (section)

===Government===

The basic unit of Komra organisation is the '''Gelkzaft''', unevenly translated into Low Gothic as "Clan", "Guild", or sometimes even "Tribe" or "Warband".  In truth it is something else entirely.  The Gelkzaft is an association of working Komra organised around their workplace, be it a factory, mine, or starship.  '''Brymun''' (another term that loses something in the translation) are elected from the ranks to oversee the community's collective interests.  For the Komra, private life is a limited sphere, consisting mainly of the individual's aesthetic and social preferences.  Even children are collective property and, once weaned from their mothers, are raised collectively in the Gelkzaft's creche.  The legendary discipline and martial courage of the Komra is no doubt a consequence of their working, living, and fighting in the same company.

Above the Gelkzaft are various '''Sojt''', or committees.  Members of other races who have had dealings with the Komra are mainly familiar with the planetary Sojt that regulates contacts with outsiders and foreign affairs, but there are layers of administrative Sojt to govern the interactions of Gelkzaft at district, provincial, and state level.  Each committee is staffed by Brymun appointed by its constituent bodies and subject to immediate recall.  Where a collection of Komra planets have banded together (as in the case of the Core Worlds Confederation), they usually form a '''Brysojt''' for dealing with their common affairs.
