[edit] History
Kiith Sjet originally came from a faction of astronomical philosophers living in Khar-Toba. They were responsible for the preservation of the Guidestone as well as observation of the sky. The first notable achievement of kiith Sjet after abandoning the Khar-Toba was plotting the paths of the planets in Kharak System and in turn creating the Kharakian Dating System from it. They were also the first to discover the 13-year cycle of Kharakian sandstorms as well as the location of the greatest rainfalls after thatSSource: Homeworld Historical and Technical Briefing

In 313 KDS Kiith Kaalel asked the Sjet to become their vassals and eventually join with kiith Sjet. Soon after the Kaaleli became scribes and messengers. Over 30 years later the Sjetti invited them to the second circle of initiation. When some of the Kaaleli became masters in the second tier, their Kiith'sa, Liir Kaalel'sa broke all bonds with kiith Sjet. His kiith was to become a kiith of messengers and scribes to avoid serious conflict with their former superior, which made it possible to end the conflict without bloodshed SSource: relic.com .
During the Heresy Wars, the Sjet made a secret pact withNabaal working as spies for them using the Sjet immunity to gather intelligence. This was discovered during the Time of Reason and only thanks to Fliir Sjet-Sa's intervention an exile of involved families was avoidedSSource: Homeworld Historical and Technical Briefing

Later on in the Time of Reason Kriil Sjet presented scientific proof that the Kushans were biologically different compared to other life on Kharak. This shook the public opinion, and proved that Sjet served the truth no matter how disturbing it may be.
During the Mothership construction project Sjetti scientists worked on the theory of hyperdrive, Cryogenics, and they were the ones who came with need of creating different command core that eventually led Karan Sjet to offer neuronic interface.
[edit] Insignia
Sjet insignia are two celestial bodies - the first being Hiigara and second, smaller one - the Angel Moon. This was unknown to all Kushan until they reached their original homeworld. However when the Khar-Toba was found in 1106 KDS on the doors of the Temple-Observatory the Sjet insignia was found, and amongst the text within the chamber the name of Sjet was mentioned.
[edit] Three circles of initiation
Kiith which wanted to join Sjet had to become it's vassals for three generations to become the true Sjetti. The generations were as follows:
- In the first circle aspirants learned to become scribes and messengers
- Second circle students were to become tutors, councilors, and doctors
- After reaching the Third circle they could name themselves Sjetti and become counselors and calendar keepers.
