business-religion combining ancient Christianity with market worship and some unhealthy elements of fascism. It lasted 3850-4100, and eventually collapsed into schism.

K-T extinction

Terragen mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago, at the boundary of the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods.

Caused by an asteroid or comet impact on the Yucatan Peninsula, resulting in prolonged darkness and rapid global temperature change. It resulted in the extinction of a number of important groups of animal life, including dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, pterosaurs, ammonites, and several groups of plankton. Plants, small invertebrates, small reptiles and amphibians, and nocturnal mammals were not unduly affected, and large scavenging reptiles (crocodiles) also were able to survive. The K-T extinction event was a Level IV Mass Extinction.

Kuiper Belt

In the Sol System: the region beyond Neptune. It includes more than 70,000 small objects, a number up to asteroidal size. It is located from 30 to 50 A.U.'s and was discovered in 1992. The Kuiper belt may be the source of the short-period comets (like Halley's comet). The Kuiper belt was named for the Dutch-American astronomer Gerard P. Kuiper, who predicted its existence in 1951.

In general: any belt beyond the outermost large planet of a solar system, consisting of mainly icy objects (ice dwarfs and ice planetisimals)

Kuiperian Type

Ice dwarf; Planetoid Class. Found in the outer reserves of a solar system, these are the remnants of planetary formation. Some may migrate into closer orbits. Others may be trapped as outer planet moons, while some may form as moons originally.

Kwan-yin

Chinese Buddhist goddess of compassion, a popular religious figure that became quite influential among Chinese and other ethnicities (including several Genetekker clans) during the Interplanetary period. Kwan-yin worship was also established on Penglai, and hence spread with the rest of the Penglai empire and Penglaism throughout known space during the early interstellar period. Kwan-yin is often compared with similar deities like the neo-Egyptian Isis, the Caretakerist Gaia (not to be confused with the archailect of the same name), the Sophia of Cosmism ,and the Green and Blue Goddess of the Zoeific Biopolity
