The Otori Sect are a religious group hailing from Gemoni.
Its adherents believe that physical contact between genders should only occur when sanctified by the priests during the High Worship of the Sunstorm, occurring every seven yahrens.
These restrictions cause the Otori Sect to react very unfavorably to Cassiopeia, due to her status as a socialator. Starbuck speculates that these restrictions are what make the Gemonese such good card players (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
