The Yokom male stands almost four meters tall (the female is non sentient and does not move much ) They have an endo skeleton but are vulnerable to higher gravitations and have very little tolerance to higher gravos. They are carnivores and eat raw meat of fresh killed farm raised Kuklos (pig sized non sentient animals) (The Yokom Rebels have taken to cooked and grilled meats fast). It is a rite of passage to young Yokom males to kill their first Kuklo unarmed. Kuklos are agressive and the ones used for the Rite are specially bred and picked for agressivness. Yokom are assigned to a pack of five females and must copulate and procreate with all of them. He must also provide for these five females for the rest of his life.(The females are killed if the male dies) The Yokom planet is divided in 76 provinces with 76 Province lords, with unlimited power.

The Yokom Director once in the seat of power must maintain favortism from a majority of the Province lords. Yokom Religion worships a trio of gods.
