'''Yi Min''' was a [[China (Worldwar)|Chinese]] apothecary. He, like [[Liu Han]], was taken by [[the Race]] for use in a study of human sexuality. An aspiring businessman, while in captivity he created a lifestyle of relative comfort through trade with his captors, but truly became a success when he discovered that the spice [[ginger]], while harmless to humans, had a severe narcotic and addictive effect on members of the Race. Many of the guards at his camp quickly became users of the drug, and it spread throughout the entire conquest fleet. Upon discovery of the severe effect of the herb, Fleetlord [[Atvar]] ordered the summary execution of known ginger dealers and Yi Min was killed in his home. However, it was already too late to stop the spread of ginger, and the Race's continuing use of it contributed greatly to their inability to win the war.

Yi Min was a Chinese apothecary. He, like Liu Han, was taken by the Race for use in a study of human sexuality. An aspiring businessman, while in captivity he created a lifestyle of relative comfort through trade with his captors, but truly became a success when he discovered that the spice ginger, while harmless to humans, had a severe narcotic and addictive effect on members of the Race. Many of the guards at his camp quickly became users of the drug, and it spread throughout the entire conquest fleet. Upon discovery of the severe effect of the herb, Fleetlord Atvar ordered the summary execution of known ginger dealers and Yi Min was killed in his home by Drefsab. However, it was already too late to stop the spread of ginger, and the Race's continuing use of it contributed greatly to their inability to win the war.
