The Cronese represent the cultural group of Human Tionese individuals who resided within the geographic boundaries of what was once the Kingdom of Cron in the Tion Cluster, an area that subsequently became the Cronese Mandate. This population, the Cronese, possessed a strong sense of their heritage, viewing themselves as elevated above other Tionese populations because their kingdom, under the rule of King Ferece, predated the unification of the broader Cluster under Xer VIII.
