Species: Yrashu
Home Planet: Baskarn

Yrashu:
The Yrashu were technologically primitive sapient beings indigenous to Baskarn. They were large baldheaded primates with green fur covering their bodies, and at first sight appeared intimidating.

Biology & Appearance:
Yrashu were experts in jungle survival, passing on their skills to their young ones in a session called the momu, in which they would also teach their young ones to make Yrashu clubs from the roots of a great tree. The Yrashu exhibited their expertise in jungle survival in that they were able to climb the dangerous Razor trees of their planet.

The Yrashu were Force-sensitive and were therefore generally open-minded with a loving disposition towards things, and did not kill unless the need for its was great and a matter of survival. With some exceptions – namely the tribe referred to as the Low Ones – they were a tolerant and gentle species.

History & Culture:
Before the Battle of Baskarn, Yrashu had not been contacted by any spacefaring civilizations. However, they were receptive and open to relations, but it was required that diplomats be adopted into the tribe. They instinctively fought the Galactic Empire, as they could sense its ties to the Dark Side of the Force. In the events leading up to the Battle, a group of Rebels were adopted into a Yrashu tribe and went through a momu, in which they were taught jungle survival according to the Yrashu way. The tribe participated in the battle, and emerged victorious along with the Rebels.

-The Yuzzem, a species not to be confused with the Yuzzums of the Forest Moon of Endor, were large heavy furred humanoids with long snouts and large black eyes. Their homeworld was Ragna III. They were quite strong and physically intimidating. This made them fierce fighters and difficult to subdue. Yuzzem also adhered to strict codes of honor and debt-fulfillment.

-Because of their strength and intelligence, many scientists believed the Yuzzem to be distant relatives of the Wookiees (they may have been descendants of a Kashyyyk species enslaved by the Rakata). <br />

-During the Separatist Crisis preceding the Clone Wars, at least two Yuzzem guards were in employ of Bossban Soergg Vosadii Bezhin who had strong ties with the Separatists. Afterward, the Confederacy of Independent Systems used them to fight on Aargonar. The Galactic Empire enslaved the species as they had done to the Wookiees and were employed for heavy labor such as mining. However, because of their strength and their ill-temperament, the Imperials had trouble making them work as slaves in the Kessel Mines and other slave labor camps. The species also had long hangovers due to their massive size.
-During their adventures on Mimban searching for the Kaiburr crystal, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa were helped by two Yuzzem, Hin and Kee. Both were slain by Darth Vader.
