View source for Yynsians

Inhabitants of [[Yyns]]. Yynsian society is based around past lives. Yynsians believe that their life force has resided in many others before them. Each Yynsian is, over time, able to access the personalities of those who held their life force in earlier existences. These existences make themselves known through a ceremony called the [[Seratch]], which is performed by the priests and priestesses of the Temple of Mi Clane, located in Yyns' capital city of Cageria. The Temple is the center of Yynsian spiritual life and a great deal of ceremony takes place when Yynsians encounter those who reside at the Temple. However, once the ceremony aspect is over, the Temple dwellers are treated like anyone else. The Yynsians believe in a very sharp distinction between the spiritual and social aspects of their society. [[Jaroch]] is the first Yynsian on record to have a past life from another world. Many Yynsians serve in Starfleet; however, the unpredictability of their past lives can cause certain difficulties. (''[[Star Traks 6]]'' [TRK]) This unpredictability can be alleviated through training at the temple, though. With proper concentration, the various past lives can be kept under control and summoned at will. (''[[Please Hold For Oblivion]]'' [TRK]) Physically, Yynsians resemble humans; however, Yynsians do possess rudimentary infra-red vision capabilities. (''[[Star Traks 1]]'' [TRK])
