Government: Like Yast, Exib is governed by a Council of Clans made up of the recognized clans from Exib society. A Speaker and his cabinet is chosen in similar manner. Many of the founding clans on Exib came from Yast so that there are a few "power broker" clans with seats in both clan councils. Some Exib clans are no longer officially part of their parent clan on Yast but still have close ties it.

Despite this Exib is more more relaxed than traditional Yast. It has seen a large influx of yazirians from Hargut as the lower air pressure on Exib is conducive to yazirians miners suffering from Blue Lung.

The relationship between Exib and Yast is an informal one. Exib's ruling council has traditionally taken the subservient role to Yast's government out of loyalty to it's parent world. With the influx of yazirians from planets other than Yast and the eventual recognition of clans that did not originate in Athor some discord has entered into the relationship between the moon and the planet. There are now some clan chiefs on Exib that believe that the day is approaching when Exib must chart it's own course independent of Yast.

History
When the second wave of the Yazirian Star Exodus arrived in Athor to settle Yast they discovered Exib had a fully evolved ecosystem ripe to be terra-formed for yazirian needs. Since Yast required significant modification a large colony was planted on Exib while Yast was transformed into an ecosystem closer to that of the yazirian home world. The colony abandoned with the discovery of Milo's Disease carried by the medib sting fly.

A decade latter, after the discovery of a treatment for Milo's Disease, a small outpost was re-established on Exib. It quickly prospered and more yazirians emigrated to Exib. The farming colonies on Exib have proved incredibly profitable and despite the ever present threat of Milo's Disease the colony has prospered.

During the First Sathar War a contingent of warriors from both Exib and Yast won renown during the liberation of Pale. The reputation of warriors from Athor's colonies is legendary making them highly sought after as corporate enforcers, usually receiving a 10% pay bonus just to secure their services. The culture of civil service promoted by the Council of Clans frowns on enlisting in corporate service which in turn makes warriors from Exib (or Yast) in corporate service a rarity.

Militia
Exib supports no naval militia. The Council of Clans has a small standing force of civil service enlisted warriors at its call for domestic policing. In a time of emergency the Council can make the "Call to Warriors" and every yazirian that can still swing a khad'dan will respond allowing them to mobilize 70% of the population.

Only one time has the Call to Warriors has been made in Exib's history. In year FY 47 fragments of a comet struck the moon. The catastrophe brought the moon's population together and proved the value of the civil service ethic.

Currently Exib contributes warriors and supports a base for the Athor militia but those clan chiefs that feel Exib should act independent from Yast want to form an independent space militia. The fact that this would be impossible since neither society appears to be able to support a proper navy does not prevent it from being debated.
