- When Premier first debut'd on Decipher's website, they did a small article for each character, giving them a brief description. They did this with quite a few of the Cantina characters (Ellors Madak, Baniss Keeg, Ket Maliss, etc.) as a way for people to better know them when the game was released. This information was given with the Kidik'keet'kak (sp) one. I'm not sure of it's cannonicity, but some of what was used in the articles for the other characters were proven to be cannon. So I dunno. I'm trying to locate some of Decipher's old archives. CBenoit 04:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Yam'rii and Huk are the same species.
They're just alternate names.

- Wow, when someone said we've seen them before, I though that person was kidding... Admiral J. Nebulax 23:45, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Is this grey guy a Yam'rii? --Eyrezer 02:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good find, however I would say no, for five reasons:
1. Yam'rii have never been depicted with spikes on their shoulders, either Kitik (female), or the "Huk" warriors (who, if anything like humans, may be aggressive males). 2. Though Kitik does sport some spines on her arms, she, nor any other Yam'rii have been seen with them the length of this gray mantid. 3. Yam'rii do not have apparent snouts with flared nostrils. 4. Yam'rii do not have a wide, mandible/palp-less mouth. 5. Yam'rii have never been depicted with chest plating to the extent of this gray mantid.
For now, it seems this is a separate mantid species, possibly a genetic cousin, but definately not a Yam'rii/"Huk".

- Because females are ALWAYS the warriors in everything, right?
If Yam'rii take after real-life Mantises, with the Huk warriors being mainly aggressive females, this gray "Mantid" still bears enough physiological differences to seem unlikely as male Yam'rii sexual dimorphism.
- I think that the picture was another artist's rendition of a Yam'rii. The similarities are enough, I think the differences are subtle enough to be artistic license.--207.166.3.62 18:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Can you please, tell me where this information came from? The Yam'rii were enslaved by offworlders in 37 BBY, but freed themselves in an uprising the following year (36 BBY).
Also, I doubt the accuracy of the following: "Around 10 years later, the Yam'rii were locked in a state of constant war with the Kaleesh people" According to Pena's Insider article, the Huk war lasted for generations. Some help with that, would you be so kind?--Tamarrion 13:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
