Yesté, pronounced 'Yas-DEE', is one of humankind's most important cultural and economical centers. It is twinned with the capital center of Chione, Daphus.
Yesté's name was given by the US government, who originally wanted to call it 'Taste', due to its supreme functions and technology, but added spice to it by changing the initial, spelling and pronunciation.
Before, this city was known as Minnesota. It was completely razed to the ground in the year 2555, when the alien inhabitants of the planet Chione declared war to Earth after the first humans attempted to colonize it.
However, after surviving the harsh conditions on Chione and adapting to co-exist with the autoctonous inhabitants by learning the language, mankind managed to develop a relationship with the alien race of Chione and start building cities and colonies there as there were too many people on Earth (12.54 billion) to feed and take care of.
