Kybis

Kybis is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Last Starfighter". In the story, Kybis is a moon of the planet Rylos. It is depicted as a rugged and resource-rich world, serving as a primary source of the raw materials needed by the Rylosian civilization for their advanced technology, including their starships. The Kybisian surface is characterized by vast, rocky plains, deep canyons, and mineral deposits.

The population of Kybis is not extensively detailed in the novel, but it is implied to be a working-class society, focused on mining and industrial activities to support Rylos. The Kybisian people are often portrayed as hardy and resilient, accustomed to the harsh conditions of their homeworld. Their culture is subservient to that of Rylos, as they are a subject population.

Kybis plays a significant role in the plot as the source of the advanced weaponry and starfighters that the Rylosians employ in their interstellar conflict against the Ko-Dan Armada. The defense of Kybis and its resources is crucial to the survival of Rylos and, by extension, the protection of the Frontier Worlds. The planet's strategic importance highlights the interconnectedness of the Rylosian empire and its reliance on its exploited territories.
