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 Yevetha
are 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.
