Y'bith/Legends



The Y'bith were a subspecies of the Bith. The name "Y'bith" translates as "Ghost Bith."

History
The Y'bith first appeared after devastating biological attack during a civil war on Clak'dor VII around 300 BBY. The attack was launched at the city of Nozho, killing most of its citizens and causing mutations in the surviving populace, as well as the surrounding wildlife. This led to the creation of a subspecies of Bith known as the Y'bith. When they eventually left the hermetically sealed cities that had been constructed amid the ruins Nozho, they set out to establish a permanent population on Clak'dor IV, eventually founding the city of New Nozho.

Many of the mutation's worst effects were stabilized by Y'bith bio-engineers, but the Y'bith were forced to adapt to their new traits. These traits included poor eyesight, stronger hands and feet, ductile mouth structures, sensitive skin, and thicker bones. Though tolerated by the Bith, they were not openly included in mainstream Bith culture. The Y'bith themselves sought acceptance as members of the galactic community.

Over time, Y'bith spread to other worlds. Many Y'bith were known to have aided the rebuilding efforts on Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa following the Yuuzhan Vong War.

One member was a patron at the Mos Eisley cantina around 0 ABY.
