And Yakomaru is similarly key to his own colony's continued survival. After all, he's the brains behind a massive war effort. Losing the chief strategist of a major war effort could be absolutely crippling to the Queerats.

Yakomaru and Kiroumaru both had good reasons for prioritizing their own survival in recent instances of doing so. They're both pragmatic in that way. So they certainly don't seem like "complete opposites" to me.
