Yugwanists by definition were any Rakatan or its conquered people that followed leader Yugwana and shared his beliefs. However, long after Yugwana's death, they eventually became labeled as anyone who supported the government Yugwana had established. During the Rakatan Civil War, the term Yugwanist became a derogatory term for any person who supported the government. The Yugwanists went through many difficult wars and are seen as the most established galactic government next to the Galactic Republic.
