Yamta

Yamta



Former Shiss "Partner Race ".

Unlike the Galactic Council or the Union, the Shiss did not associate with other cultures (except to conquer, enslave, exploit or outright exterminate them[1]

Whenever the Klack partnered or allied themselves with others it never lasted and the Shiss cooked up some scheme to betray their partner, They did so with the Nul and several Oghr species.

There was even a short association with the Togar .[2]

However one species was so similar and "dishonest" that the Shiss not only found their match but a partner countering schemes with schemes (something the Shiss openly resented but secretly loved)

The Yamta are true lizards,but also the closest human analog to a lizard man, with features like a human style five finger hand. Union scholars are almost certain they have been created or are a puzzle piece of the Human Mystery.

Yamta grow to average human size, but are not mammalian as they procreate laying eggs. The female is gray and dull and somewhat smaller compared to the colorful usually blue males.

They are excellent athletes (at warm temperatures) and have a very long and very agile tale.

They often fix bladed or barbed weapons to the tale

Species Agresso Level is 8 and their Tech level is six (TL 6 ) But they are often using Shiss weapons and ships. Since they are”Blue”the Shiss can tolerate dealing with them

Yamta thrive as space pirates and Mercs and are often part of Shiss Raiders.

However as it was mainly Yamta who attacked the Klack Queen's Barge, the Klack did not stop until most Yamta were eradicated.

Today there are maybe 500,000 or 600,000 Yamta left, fleeing to the Downward Sector. They still can be found in Freespace (or in open space after the cessation of the Freespace treaty.

The Union Census reported no Yamta Union Citizen.
