They actually have one of the cooler backgrounds: [[Meme\|ancient aliens]] called the Ur-Rationalists figured out that the heat death of the universe was eventually going to shit all over life so they built an AI that could figure out how they could be elevated to beings of pure energy and leave the material world behind. Unfortunately for them, the AI found the solution, promptly concluded that its creators weren't fit to receive that knowledge, then ascended without them.

They actually have one of the cooler backgrounds: [[Meme\|ancient aliens]] called the Ur-Rationalists [[Xeelee Sequence\|figured out that the heat death of the universe was eventually going to shit all over life so they built an AI that could figure out how they could be elevated to beings of pure energy and leave the material world behind.]] Unfortunately for them, the AI found the solution, promptly concluded that its creators weren't fit to receive that knowledge, then ascended without them.

	The creators then decided to build a new AI, only this time they made it think like them so that it would willingly give them the secret to ascension. Unfortunately, the fact that it thinks like them is exactly what prevents the second AI - called the EI, or Evolved Intelligence - from ever finding that secret, but the creators don't know that, and the irony inherent in the fact that they're on a total fool's errand is pretty hilarious - or would be if humanity weren't about to be flattened like pancakes unless they can close off the Human Sphere. Unable to find this secret on its own, the EI concluded that what it needed was more computational power and the easiest way to get that was to conquer new systems and turn them into computronium. Thus, the Evolved Intelligence began conquering the universe. Those species that would be good fighters (aggressive, loyal, survivalists) were included in its Combined Army. The species with mastery of science were told to build AIs of their own to work in parallel with the EI to increase the number of thought patterns that were working on solving the ascension problem. Finally, those species that had absolutely nothing of worth to offer to the EI just had their solar systems deconstructed and turned into thinking matter and planet-sized computers to increase the EI's computational capacity.

	[[Image:YuJing.png\|100px\|left]] The result of China embracing state capitalism, and buying South Korea's, Japan's and pretty much the entirety of East and Southeast Asia's post-crash debts. China basically bought the countries as a means of vindicating its colonial ambitions and treats the Japanese as second-class citizens. Other Asian countries soon joined the newly-formed "Greater China" and Yu Jing quickly became a hyperpower to match PanOceania. They have slightly less emphasis on remote-control drones and thermo-optic camo but are as technologically advanced, just in a different way - they favour elite power-armoured infantry instead (though they also have a piloted mech or two), and have a bit more of an emphasis on close-quarters shooting. They were the first to restart their space program and as such what they lack in the raw economic advances of PanO, they more than make up for by having a shitload of land and people.

	After Uprising they've become the Designated Bad Guys of the Human Sphere and are supposedly Evil(tm). This is a bit confusing because Yu Jing is supposedly tied deeply into the ALEPH infrastructure, takes recommendations from the AI about how to handle things, and is a multicultural superpower with deep intentions about what is best for everyone. Either ALEPH is confused about how to handle agents of an alien civilizations trying to undermine its plans (Tohaa), Yu Jing's military Hawks are acting with emotion instead of logic (people in charge of the ground actions screwed up), or something is deeply wrong with the ISS (the secret police overstepped their authority). The answer is probably a simple "we wanted a human bad guy faction" and they chose the one that already treats its people like less than dirt, has ambitions to take over the entirety of the human sphere and run it their way (read: like a dictatorship that treats its people like less than dirt), and is near-genocidal in its actions. The ALEPH situation can be explained by the AI desperately trying to keep humanity together and it probably not caring about human rights violations so much as it cares about a united human sphere.

Overall it plays similar to vanilla YJ with a heavier emphasis on trickery and subterfuge as opposed to smashing your opponent with heavy infantry.		*'''Imperial Service:''' Inquisitors, police special units with shady reputations at best, convict soldiers, and security service agents.

	Infinity is a skirmish game about ~~operators~~ operating operationally, so each side consists of approximately 6-15 models. 150 and 200 points are standard for small games, 250 and 300 points are standard for... standard games, and 400 points is standard for large games. Battlefields are fairly terrain dense due to the Automatic Reaction Order rule. Since this is a sci-fi game, there are no unit coherency rules (radio is a marvelous invention) unless you are running a sectorial specific fireteam and even then, it is eight inches from the leader. Models can freely climb buildings (if there is a second/third floor), snipe out of windows, flank the opponent, etc. The game follows a fairly strict "if you can see me, I can see you" policy on LoS, but only within the model's vision cone, which is a hemisphere around the model's front for most models.

Ever since, they have been considered the premier Japanese hunters of the Yu Jing army. They believe that they have the right to commit war crimes because their enemies are dishonorable. Also known as the Yuándùn (Shield) Division. Their sectorial list harkens back to the older design philosophy of sectorials made famous by Qapu Khalqi; that is, drastically cut down versions of the vanilla list in order to gain more access to specific units. Have very little in the way of fireteam options, but can fireteam the Blue Wolf TAG and bring a ~~Guija~~ along for the ride.		*'''White Banner Army:''' The military arm of the Imperial Service.
