YEVETHA

YEVETHA        The Yevetha are a tall, sinister, skeleton-like race.  They have completely black eyes, pale,

grayish skin, and tiny spear-shaped teeth. Also, they have short (usually) light-brown hair on their

heads, and almost no body hair.  Yevetha also have curved dew-claws housed in their wrists, revealed by

cocking back their clenched fists.  The claws are used for hand-to-hand combat and blood sacrifice

(which will be discussed later), and is their weapon of choice.  They also have several deep divots, or

crests, in their faces, reaching from the bridge of the nose to either side of the chin.  The upper two

crests on either side are the mating crests, and the lower two are the fighting crests.  The crests

turn crimson and swell when the proper emotion (and corresponding hormone) becomes active.          The Yevetha come from the planet of N'zoth, where they were unaware of space travel, and the

like.  They were used for their technical abilities to aid the Empire in repairing ships after the

Battle of Endor (the Yevethaare extremely skilled in examining, analyzing, and improving technology—if they see a blueprint of a

ship once, they already have ideas as to how they could improve it).  A shipyard was constructed in

orbit on N'zoth, but the Yevetha managed to take control of one of the operational Star Destroyers, the

Victory-class "Intimidator".  They made off with the entire fleet, and used it against the New Republic

some 15 years later.  They had upgraded many of the ships, and had even modified one of the ISD's to be

a Super-class ship.  The Empire kept the entire ordeal a secret because losing an entire fleet of ships

to a savage race was, to say the least, a great disgrace.          In the meantime, however, the Yevetha remain somewhat of an enigmatic race.  They now have

space travel, but they prefer to stay in their own sector, referred to as the "Koornacht Cluster". 

Instead of travelling to other systems, they have merely expanded their empire to the other planets in

their sectors, conquering other races with a swift massacre, and then the next day inhabiting their

homes (nice, huh?).        They manage to keep attention away from themselves, and are cool and calculating.  They much

prefer keeping their enemy at bay with deception and lies when confronted, but make no mistake--they

are fierce and ruthless when threatened, and do not fear death in the least.  They do not cherish the

lives of others, especially humans, and refer to them as "vermin".  They seek to destroy all other

races, and view their race as superior.  But they realize, of course, that they cannot defeat the New

Republic just yet.  In the meantime, they use the "vermin" to their own ends, pretending to be a kind

and benevolent race.  They know that their planet's liberation will come soon enough.           Yevethan law differs greatly from New Republic law.  For instance, it is only considered murder

when one of a lower class kills one of a higher class.  The inferiors are in constant danger of death,

for if they offend one of higher standing, they are well within their right to dispatch the infidel. 

Custom requires peasents to kneel before upper-class members, offering themselves for sacrifice. 

Yevethan mating rituals involve blood sacrifice of an inferior male, and slaughter is always

accomplished by use of the dew claws.        As far as their activities after Endor, few Yevetha have ventured off-planet, but the ones that

have have become assassins and hirelings, using their natural instincs for hunting and killing to the

advantage of crime bosses and corp leaders.  Since only a few hundred Yevetha live away from the

Koornacht Cluster, not much is generally known about their species. In most public places, a Yevethan

will not be recognized for what he is.
