The Idari is governed by a traditional kasathan representative council known as a Doyenate, whose members are drawn from numerous professions and fields of study important to decision-making for the spaceship and its thousands of inhabitants. Members of the Doyenate are known as doyens, and they are seen as a type of aristocracy among the kasathas. Unlike traditional aristocracies, membership in the Doyenate is never inherited. A future doyen must be recognized by the kasathas for their accomplishments in their particular field, and are sometimes chosen against their will to become doyens.1

All doyens have a say in government decisions, but their status, both in the council and society as a whole, is based on the importance of their roles. This has led to issues in recent decades, particularly as roles like captain, crucial during the Idari's flight, gradually diminish in significance.1
