Yarkora/Legends

The Yarkora were bipedal, anthropomorphic beings resembling cameloids. They hailed from an unknown desert world presumably in Wild Space or the Unknown Regions.

Characteristics
Yarkora spoke the Yarkora language. Yakora had immense three-fingered hands, a long snout with wide nostrils, smooth fur, and rough tufts of fair. Despite being so tall and looking as strange as they did, Yarkora more often than not didn't attract attention to themselves.

Yarkora were known as crafty con artist and scoundrels. They would masterfully dissect information from others, despite almost never talking about their own past, culture or interest.

History
The first recorded encounter with a Yarkora was dated 3 BBY. Since that encounter no one has been able to find their homeworld. It is unknown if they developed their own hyperdrive technology or if it was given (or stolen) to them by another spacefaring species.

During the Galactic Civil War, groups of Yarkora helped the Rebel Alliance with counter-espionage, while a few served the Empire as couriers; others worked as scouts and t'bac farmers. Their presence in the Galaxy at large had increased after the formation of the New Republic.
