Kins II is the second planet from the sun of the Kins system, Banu Protectorate. A world with a natural oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, it is the home of the largest indentured servant market in the Protectorate. Its large cities have historically enjoyed a low crime rate, but as Human visitors have increased, so has the frequency of criminal activity. Outside the cities, there are ruins that don't match any known style of Banu architecture. Human and Xi'an archaeologists debate whether this is an example of ancient Banu design or evidence of a lost civilization.
