Yaka

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Yaka were a race of Near-Human cyborgs hailing from the Yaka system. Centuries before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the neighboring Arkanians, known for their genetic experiments, implanted the naturally dim-witted race with cybernetic implants. The Arkanians saw this effort as benefiting the brutes, while the galaxy at large questioned the ethical implications of such an act.

For better or worse, the alterations the Yaka received not only made them more intelligent, but also stripped them of all emotion.
