 +The Yamatai Star Empire is a technologically-advanced transhuman empire with most of the population using biological android bodies. It's got an 80s anime-inspired flavor and is protected by a massive, politically powerful military called the [[stararmy:start]], which the site is named after. It is the Star Army setting's cornerstone faction.  The [[:faction|Faction Manager]] for Yamatai is [[members:wes]].

-This is what players had to say about Yamatai: 
- 
-  * "Yamatai you were the reason I joined this RP, everything from your sleek ships, to sexy characters. Thank you." 
-  * "I sometimes fear reading but whenever I do, it's almost always a pleasant surprise with time the only thing keeping me back. Sometimes you do things I disagree with but I respect you for your history and the way you persevere. You are strong and you're moving in a better direction." 
-  * "The Japanese theme is pretty cool, and I always liked the way the player community seemed pretty accepting to newbies (I.E me). The ship designs and equipment are familiar in so many ways, yet different in many more. Keep on doing great, Wes." 
-  * "You guys are the reason I've joined. The community that they have is just outstanding and the reason why I have a plotship there. :D I'll always have a Yamataian character, don't anyone worry. ^_^" 
-  * "I appreciate how Yamatai isn't a boring galactic peace-mongerer, believe it or not. Yamatai and its respective cultures do things their own way, and sometimes they aren't very liked or appreciated...but I see this as a good thing more often than not. For you see, if Yamatai didn't do the things they do, there would be little conflict, and we'd all be boorishly nodding and frolicking together" 
-  * "You are //the Empire//, a wickedly awesome faction to be a part of. The stories and role-play here is what attracted me in the first place. It fits my definite Weeaboo style; mecha, catgirls and save points! But I digress, to get a little more serious, I like the way the faction is ran and all of the inner turmoil about being the biggest of the bunch, it almost reminds me of Rome in a sense and it intrigues me to see how this will evolve with the coming times." 
-  * "Often entertaining, the epitome of space opera. It makes a good foundation for the rest of this interesting world." 
-  * "I love the cool space ships and art! I Just started RPing with you and love it because of the hard work and organisation I have seen put into it."
