Yarkora

Yarkora are elusive and manipulative beings with a talent for secrecy and subtle influence. Throughout galactic history, they operated on the fringes — as information brokers, con artists, and subtle agents. Few know where they come from, and fewer still know when they’re being played by one. Their cultural values revolve around secrecy and subtle domination rather than brute force or overt displays of power. They thrive on social deception, ambiguous conversation, and carefully orchestrated relationships that serve their long-term interests. Yarkora physiology supports this lifestyle: their expressive eyes, acute hearing, and strong sense of smell allow them to read subtle cues in others — an edge they use ruthlessly. While often charming or persuasive, most Yarkora form shallow relationships and see emotion as a resource to manipulate. Their durability and internal redundancy make them surprisingly resilient, but few know how tough they really are — by the time one discovers the truth, they may already be under the Yarkora’s control.

Personality & Customs: Yarkora culture revolves around secrets, leverage, and manipulation. They take pride in being the ones pulling strings from behind the curtain, often crafting public personas or stories to cloak their true intentions. Family and social bonds are transactional. Even greetings and letters among Yarkora are subject to double meanings, and they rarely give direct answers. Despite this, they are not cruel — merely calculated and emotionally distant.
