Keonnans, also known as East Baiameans among the people of the Yatan-Theian Accord, are a winged eusocial insectoid species which inhabits the Keonnan Confederacy and the Karina Dynasty. They are a caste-based species separated by positions of drones and warriors born into hives led by queens, which lay eggs for the hives (which are known as "Bastions") and provide orders to their leaders. Keonnan queens reside underground in the bastions of the Karina Dynasty, from which they command an army's worth of Keonnan drones. Keonnan drones are capable of becoming warriors if they proved themselves worthy in combat, which have wings and a thick exoskeleton, and they are dedicated to warfare. East Baiameans have two sets of mandibles, outer and inner, which they use to gesture and communicate (aside from Pheromones and speaking).
An unknown number of Keonnans migrated from their homeworld of Keonnos to the planet Theia between 375 BCE and 276 BCE after they had been discovered by the Bejrik Order during its initial explorations of the star-systems near to their own. This group of Keonnans would later become known as the 'East Baiameans' after the nature of their origins was lost until the rediscovery of Keonnos in 464 CE, assimilating into Theian customs such as worshipping Pilirin and establishing friendly relations with the planet's other inhabitants. They would eventually develop into the planet's industrial heartland as their industrious and rapidly-reproducing nature allowed them to become highly economically important. When Theia temporarily became a rogue planet they hid in their underground bastions for many centuries until eventually emerging in 175. Many of the surviving bastions united under the Stalgasin Bastion to form the Karina Dynasty, where 95% of East Baiameans lived.
