ISO YahWeh

A former Solarian S1 theology instructor under the delusion that e is a figure from pre-singularity mythology.

Escaped from Solarian Council for Doctrine agents after the massacre of Bordeans on the Bluesky world of Cygni 4. YahWeh demanded that they reject the God-Emperor and destroy all copies of The Infinite Reflections. The populace rejected this demand, and in order to punish the worshippers of a 'Gold Idol', e overrode the safety controls on the antique ion pumps of the Bluesky causing a massive electrical storm, destroying the Bluesky and killing 83,428; of which only 54,211 were in a condition to be revived.

Since then, YahWeh has only targeted S<1 worlds where e is able to subvert the original populace with basic memetics and demand adoration, with the carrot and usually stick approach. As a result e has always been driven off by equivalent, and in one case, inferior but better prepared sentients. Er defeat in that instance by beings of a lower toposophic is considered by most observers to be further evidence of er insanity.

Yasamura Artificial Environments Corporation

The most successful of the Sakawa hyperturing subsidiaries of the Federation period, Yasamura Artificial Environments Corporation was one of the first corporation that developed standard terraforming equipment and procedures; including nanites and large bioreactors. YAEC worked on many early-interstellar colonies including several Eridanus League worlds and the Ruham Pact colonies. They eventually tried to market terraforming 'packages', which was an idea at least a thousand years ahead of its time. Unfortunately, the new environments were rather tenuous and decayed easily; as the colonies developed and populations grew more sophisticated techniques had to be used to supplant the YAEC tech. YAEC eventually was bought out and broken up into components by its more successful competitors, including Birnam Ecotech and Adaptive Nanosystems.
