High Clerist Kyrill led the Coalition to contact with the Omnet and the Greater Galaxy. His sweeping reforms led to the modernization and expansion of the Cilkit Coalition.
Kyrill proved to be a strong ruler. However, his ideals when it came to the more subtle arts of trade and espionage led to his downfall. After his co-founding in StarTreader Cruise Lines based out of the Rhuk'Dkai Dynasty, Kyrill made clear he would not allow any cruise ships of the hunting theme sponsored by SCL in Chilkit space. He threatened death to these ships, and even stationed large fleets on SCL routes through the Chilkit Coalition to destroy and hunting cruise vessel. He started advocating animal rights before those of sentients.
This was not even the height of his madness. He began to criticize the Saurian Defense Pact, which led to a tense three-day-war with this empire.
An unknown assailant, who conspiracy theorists claim was Zell (who would rise to the High Clerist position after Kyrill's death), hired the United Anarchist Collective to assassinate Kyrill and his Conclaves. During the High Holy Feast of Deliverance, marking the end of the Awakening Summons, seven UAC agents infiltrated Glory Square, where the festivites were being held.
Once Kyrill and his Conclaves were seated and the revelry had begun, four armored men appeared on top oft he walls around Glory Sqaure. Three more appeared on the platform where Kyrill and the Conclaves were seated. Taking Kyrill hostage, one UAC made an eloquent speech stating the UAC's position. When he demanded of Kyrill to surrender, Kyrill instead urged his citizens to fight, to never surrender.
Kyrill was hit with no less than three weapons beams. He died instantly. The crowd of more than fifteen thousand in Glory Square rushed the platform to tear apart the UAC agents. They scaled the walls as the police forces arrived in airborne shuttles.
The three men on the platform took members of the High Conclave hostage. This did not stop the crowd, and the Conclave members were all killed. With their deaths perished the Coalition. Kyrill's family was also killed. Thousands of Chilkits died on the walls and the platform before reaching their assailants.
Only four agents made it out of Glory Square through an elaborate system of underground tunnels. They fled the city, now one massive riot, in a stealth shuttle.
