Yam'rii/Legends



The Yam'rii, also known as the Huk, were a race of aliens hailing from the planet also known as Huk.

The Yam'rii were enslaved by offworlders in 37 BBY, but freed themselves in an uprising the following year (36 BBY).

The Yam'rii were in a constant war with the Kaleesh people of the neighboring planet, Kalee, for many years prior to the Clone Wars and the Great Jedi Purge, in what was called the Huk War. The Galactic Republic aided the Huk in their war against the Kaleesh, though this still did not garner enough sympathy for the Separatists to convince General Grievous to join their cause.

Decades later, the Huks were part of the Galactic Alliance; during the Swarm War, they were among the insectoid races of the galaxy who became Joiners and fought alongside the Killiks.

The Huk should not be confused with the Houk or the Huhk.
