HOMEWORLD: KIITH S'JET

Homeworld: Shipbreakers and Sjetti

While it is said that a member of Kiith S’jet cannot lie, they will go to some creative lengths to reframe the truth to hide a particular aspect of it when they choose
It is a mistake to characterize the S’jet as meek and humble—on Kharak it is a saying to never underestimate the silence of a S’jet in dire times.
Any Kiith that attempted to interrogate a S’jet scholar was punished with an embargo that lasted no less than 100 years.

When this truth was revealed, the sense of outrage was strong, but Fliir Sjet-Sa realized the extremity of the situation may have justified the betrayal.
(c) HW1, p.31, Kiith Sjet

J’raal presented his paper directly to the Daiamid. A paper very similar to mine, with the same implications: Kharak is dying. He was spreading the alarm. His reward was the destruction of his career nearly overnight. <…> Within a year there was no further record of J’raal at all. The last mention is a passing reference to he and his small immediate family going, kithless, to a religious retreat in the low deserts beyond the Majiirian Ocean.

The family honor comes a poor second, as always, to survival; surrendering to necessity is an ancient tradition among the Kushan.

HW Factions Hiigaran Kiith Sjet

The science is nothing without the big money behind it: The Large Hadron Collider won't build itself, it requires a lot of resources. Every spaceship launch costs millions.

Kiith S'jet was independent. Where did they take money for their scientific researches? In the world of capitalism only practical science is worthy - Nicola Tesla example shows what happens with pure scientists. But practical science is the field of all the major kiiths - Naabal, the engineers; Somtaaw, the miners; Hraal, the manufacturers; LiirHra, the space agency…

The only way I see kiith S'jet remaining independent is a very secret priest organisation. They are guarding their secrets even in cost of their (or somebody else) lives; they sell their technology for a big money; and when Naabali Age of Reason broke out, S'jet were the ones who gave kushans the patent system as a law, so everybody pay S'jet.

This is approved by HWC: remember, that Somtaaw wasn't able to buy standard kushani tech for their needs? That's the case - S'jet patent monopoly. And other kiithid also. But I'm sure, that S'jet, like Microsoft, has patent for every simplistic shit that could be invented anytime. The real patent trolls. Big kiith that gather patent pools in their property, making smaller kiiths vulnerable and dependent of their will.

And here's the question: so, were Sjetti the kiith that helped Kharak to become more innovative and progressive? I guess, not really: only when Naabali came out of their valley to change the existing system of Gaalsien / Siiddim dominance on the northern hemisphere, and started to share technologies to their allies, only then the progress have come to Kharak. And S'jetti has a quite indirect role in it.

And, by the way, was the grammar only thing that kiith Kaalel, known as spies and assassins in earlier days, have learned from kiith S'jet?..
