A state in central-rimward Halcyon Sector. Yimin Jiti means “Exiled Collective” in Jitsathu, the main spoken language. It is governed by the Yimi, a self-perpetuating order of psionic warriors and elders who protect and serve the citizens of the worlds they administer and ensure that age-old rulings, traditions, and wisdom are followed. Most member systems have bureaucratic governments and the structure of the Yimin Jiti state is similarly bureaucratic. Laws within Yimin Jiti are strictly enforced and justice requires lawbreakers to materially repay their debt to individuals and to society.

Yimin Jiti is isolationist and access to its member worlds is strictly limited. Although there are large offworld enclaves in most starports, the local populations don’t seek contact with “foreigners” and are happy to conduct all of their business through the Yimi. Communities within Yimin Jiti are built around plazas and parks and are centered on Yimi Temples, sprawling complexes that also serve as markets, schools, courts of law, and hospitals.
