Description:
The Yarkora were bipedal, anthropomorphic beings resembling cameloids. They hailed from an unknown desert world presumably in
Wild Space or the Unknown Regions.
Biology and Appearance:
Yarkora spoke the Yarkora language. Yakora had immense three-fingered hands, a long snout with wide nostrils, smooth fur, and
rough tufts of hair. Despite being so tall and looking as strange as they did, Yarkora more often than not didn't attract
attention to themselves.
Yarkora were known as crafty con artist and scoundrels. They would masterfully dissect information from others, despite almost
never talking about their own past, culture or interest.
Common Yarkora Names:
Adaka-Vanae, Haesh-Rulan, Nemor-Jelak, Rault-Sanik
History:
The first recorded encounter with a Yarkora was dated 3 BBY. Since that encounter no one has been able to find their homeworld.
Despite this, Schurk-Heren was a Yarkora smuggler, and was captain of the vessel Uhumele when the Jedi Dass Jennir tried to
hijack his ship to escape New Plympto after the end of the Clone Wars. It is unknown if they developed their own hyperdrive
technology or if it was given to them by (or stolen from) another spacefaring species.
During the Galactic Civil War, groups of Yarkora helped the Rebel Alliance with counter-espionage, while a few served the
Galactic Empire as couriers; others worked as scouts and t'bac farmers. Their presence in the galaxy at large had increased
after the formation of the New Republic.
Yarkora were known to live on Phaeda and some also worked for Grappa the Hutt.
Story Factors:
Species Rarity: Yarkora are only rarely encountered in the galaxy, and often invoke unease
in those they interact with.
