Kem Tija held a position of significant authority within the COMPNOR. Within the Sector Monitor of the Coalition for Progress for the Sanbra sector, Tija served as the Executive Director overseeing the Art Group.
A message was dispatched to Tija by one of his underlings, Bront Autin, concerning Tem Eliss, an Iyra sentientologist, and the forthcoming release of his book, The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life. Autin advised Tija that Eliss should be taken into custody for interrogation, and that the circulation of his written work should be prohibited. Nevertheless, Eliss managed to escape the University of Sanbra grounds before he could be apprehended.
