Yam'rii (Stellar Amalgam)

The Yam'rii are an insectoid species that claims natitivity to Huk though studies would indicate that they actually derive from another world. The Yam'rii are a carnivous species surviving off of meat and eggs. Standing at two meters in height the mantis like sentients have had a difficult history with galactic society. Surprising to some the Yam'rii possess a society of modern convience such as droids, speeders, and starships though only male members of the population possess fingers. The females having clipper like forelimbs. Suprising also to some is that the Yam'rii first interacted with galactic society through peaceful trade rather then predation. It was through this trade with free merchants that the Yam'rii obtained a taste for the eggs of certain sentient species. This dark turn eventually alerted the galaxy to the dreadful potential of the Yam'rii igniting rumors that they eat thier own kind or that Yam'rii merchant ships where involved in abduction rackets. To the ovarious species of the galaxy the Yam'rii became the subject of fear. The government of Huk and it's meager colonies contacted the Interstellar Trade Authority in hopes of establishing a more structured and legal interstellar trade that would foster a more positive image of the species. This managed to largely be successful but Huk found it's self in need of additional resources for the galactic market and thus a colonization effort was launched. Yam'rii colonists where not very effectively policed by the central government nor able to arrange dealings that would be profitable to the conglomerates they had been connected to. They resorted to free traders, and eventually turned to the slave trade for profit having settled on worlds of a more primative people. Eventually these primatives recieved outside aid from some of the same free traders who saw an opportunity for profit in the conflict. They formed a revenge fleet that sought to exterminate the intrusive Yam'rii igniting a long war. The Yam'rii now live with the general reputation of egg snatchers, slavers, and dispassion towards other species though given the automation on Huk the slaver reputation is rather inaccurate. Huk as a planet is the center of thier population thanks to the Huk Wars and while those on Huk can be expected to be more civil those on other worlds may vary. Yam'rii being predators and insectoid are both territorial and aggressive by nature and a civil upbringing is rather key to countering instinct. Which is unfortunate for many in the galaxy who alien to the other worlds are unlikley to experience a life of security or comfort.
