Government: Yast's government is called the Council of Clans. This body is made up of chiefs or designated representatives from all recognized clans on Yast. All members of the council vote to choose a Speaker of the Council who acts as the executive officer of the government. The Speaker is aided by a cabinet half of which is chosen by the council and half is chosen by him. This cabinet is known as the Speaker's Council.

The Council of Clans has instituted a civil service program and every yazirian that reaches adulthood is expected to serve the colony and in turn is accorded full citizenship rights. Citizenship rights conveys the important priviledge of being able to speak before the Council of Clans in the Hall of Warriors. Any citizen can appeal to the council for justice but if the council hears the appeal and does not accept it there is a great loss of face. Thus no one makes this appeal frivolously.

A large portion of the civil service program is hard labor supporting the ongoing terra-forming efforts. The mega corp GODco has effectively withheld its support  for the terra-forming program over perceived resistance of Yast's government to the hegemony of Hentz, the Family of One and by extention GODco. Other areas of civil service include teaching, government administration, and in Yast's small militia.

Militia: The Yast militia is classified as non void capable since its naval assets are limited to boarding shuttles and fighters. Entrance into the militia is highly competitive and requires connections. Despite their lack of true star-ships the militia's moral and dedication is very high.
