The Yafizethe of Kernal (Deneb 0626) are a technologically competent Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.

• They are known informally as the Zethe.

Description (Specifications)

The Yafizethe are a dual-gender Minor Race native to Kernal (Deneb 0626), descended from local omnivore/gatherer stock. They are citizens of the Third Imperium.

Physiology

Yafizethe have excellent vision, which includes the ability to see electrical fields. They are bilaterally symmetric, with a head containing the brain and sensory organs, two front pairs of long legs ending in graspers, and eight pairs of short 'walking' legs. The Yafizethe walk upright, with their front legs used to pick out a path through rough terrain when not carrying equipment. Their body is protected by an exoskeleton.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Yafizethe have recently completed the consolidation of their world from a number of competing states. The long unification process resulted in a class of skilled diplomats, negotiators and lawyers, collectively called peacemakers, whose skills are useful on the interstellar scene.

The process of political unification spanned the period from first offworld contact in the 400s through to 1060. One notable incident occurred in 846, when 50 members of the ruling nobility of two powerful Yafizethe states voluntarily sacrificed themselves on a stone altar to unify their nations. This unprecedented act exploited a legal loophole in the complex Rules of Peace, and forced key nations to set aside their differences.
