Depths of My Soul
Khyron Kravshera is certainly one of the most underappreciated characters
in Robotech. I found it very sad that no- one wanted to remember him in
End of the Circle. I want to remember him, and want
to help others to as well. 
Though his own men nicknamed him The Backstabber (because of incidents
where, drunken or in fits of temper, he was known to fire upon his own
troops), Khyron was one of the greatest warriors in the history of the T'sentrati
people. Although there are those that will question his methods, there can
be no disputing his tremendous success in combat. Indeed, the very reason
that Breetai called upon Khyron's Botoru battalion (watch Robotech episode
Bye Bye Mars) was due to Khyron's legendary success in combat, over
Exedore's concerns that Khyron's temper and habitual drunkenness might jeopardise
the mission. Exedore was only partly right. Khyron was constantly
disobedient, often prone to attacking the fortress without permission. However,
that type of behaviour did succeed in confusing the enemy and keeping them
off- guard. Whenever the micronians thought they knew the T'sentrati battle
strategy, Khyron would come along and shake them up a little, and then they
wouldn't be so sure anymore. That is the reason the Botorus were always so
successful in combat, because they always did the unexpected. Khyron was
also a wonderfully aberrant clone. He had a kind of boyish charm about him
and a playful side as well. He was known to pal around with his aide, Grel,
and make bets on such things as how many ships they would crash into coming
out of hyperspace. Khyron had a gentle voice and spoke with a refined accent,
in sharp contrast to the deep, rumbling voices and brutish mannerisms of
most of his fellow T'sentrati (and also in contrast with his own violent
tendencies and temper). He was unabashedly individual in a society which
normally discourages that sort of thing altogether. The main reason that
he wasn't killed for that was because he was such an excellent warrior.
It's amazing what one can get away with as a T'sentrati so long as one
is getting results... The Botorus absented the Rain of Death and instead
vanished for some two years, hiding out under ice and snow in Alaska, waiting
for the proper moment to attack. It was during that period when Khyron's
affair with Azonia began. Though the two had never 
gotten along in the past, the two- year isolation (and probably
also too much alcohol and flowers...) brought them closer. They were
the first pair of T'sentrati actually known to have fallen in love, where
normally even casual contact between the genders was prohibited and love
was a completely alien concept. When Khyron felt the time was right he
began rebuilding his army, recruiting Malcontents and sizing them up again
using a stolen protoculture chamber. He then kidnapped Minmei and Kyle,
holding them ransom (truly a first in the history of the T'sentrati, who
previously had never recognised the value of hostages, holding individual
lives in such low esteem ourselves), demanding the fortress in exchange
for their return. Unfortunately, the hostages were rescued by that twit
Hunter, the exchange never took place, and both Minmei and Kyle escaped
without harm. Subsequently, Khyron executed a daring Christmastime attack
on Macross City and destroyed it with explosive charges, inarguably one
of his greatest achievements, and the event which earned him the new nickname
Khyron the Destroyer. Gloval gave him protoculture to fuel his ship in
hopes that he would take it and just go away. Actually, Khyron did
originally plan on leaving Earth with that protoculture. He was going
to go back to the Masters for reinforcements, which would then return to
lay siege to the planet Earth. That plan was never carried out. Under heavy
influence of flowers, 
he instead attacked the fortress, an assault which ended with the
ramming of his ship into the fortress. He and all aboard his ship were
killed, as were all those left aboard the fortress. Khyron died victorious
in battle, as is the wish of every T'sentrati. The memory of his greatness
and his achievements must be kept alive for future generations...
Gomen, even this is pared down a little due to Geocities getting stingy with bandwidth. I tried to leave all the best ones, though.

What follows is old info about the life and death of the RL BPS club. I'm leaving it here for reference and in memorial to the niftiness that was the old club. I really doubt it'll ever be reborn in that manner again.
I'm afraid the BPS is officially on hold now and has been for a while.
I'm not sure when/if it'll get back to the way it was. Whether members
choose to still consider themselves as such or not is their own choice,
I guess. The official cause of the hold is founder exhaustion and lack of
member enthusiasm. Basically, most members stopped contributing to the "Sten
Yar" entirely and showed little or no enthusiasm whenever it was published.
I felt too much stress of trying to hold it together on my own without help
or contributions, so I decided to stop, and offered that if anyone else
wanted to do it for a while they could, but there were of course no takers.
Since I feel a bit less stress now, I almost feel as if I could take it
up again any time, except I fear there would still be no contributors.
And any "Sten Yar" I put out now would look bad by comparison anyway, because
I haven't even got the same editing tools I used to anymore :-( . Maybe
eventually things will come back together, but if it does it's Haydon's
own miracle at this point. Sorry if that disappoints anyone, but it couldn't
be helped.
BPS (Backstabber Preservation Society) is a small but devoted organisation
for preserving Khyron's memory for future generations. Thus far it has
accepted only members with T'sentrati identities, but recently it was
decided we'd also accept the occasional micronian sympathiser.
Our publication, "Sten Yar", comes out on a sort-of-bimonthly schedule
(i.e. whenever I can get around to sending it) and is made up of fanfictions,
artwork, and articles done by our very talented members. Currently it
is five pages long and the current rotating multi-part stories are "Robotech:
Backstabbers" by Vorn Xula (a story set in Aftermath time and involving
somewhat altered versions of our members as characters), "Robotech Rebels"
by Quetzal Thas (a somewhat silly romp through Invid-occupied Europe),
and "Robotech Freedom Fighters" by Naia Zifu (me, of course) (an unusual
Invid-era story with elements of the supernatural). Oh, and you've never
lived until you've read one of Karv Garst's insane creations...
if you can... ;-) Thus far, despite the difficulty of funding,
I've been usually able to send out the "Sten Yar"s pretty much on time.
We have been attempting to resolve the funding problems and hope to figure
it out eventually, before the situation gets too much more desperate.
