Yoram

[Xenobiology, History]


The Yoram are a mysterious alien race located on Vupa 6 and endowed with great mental powers but whose physical form is still unknown. So far, they have shown a clear hostility toward mankind, using mental control to capture and prey on them or to confront the forces sent to Vupa 6 to discover more about the Yoram.

1. Biology

Physical features:  While the physical shape of the Yoram is still unknown, it is known that their body needs the purple atmosphere they have artificially created on Vupa 6 to breathe without help.

Mind features: The few times in which they have communicated with our species, they did so using humans under mental control to use them as messenger puppets.

So far they have shown high mental control abilities, being able to turn armies of Mech pilots against each other.

Feeding: Evidence has been found suggesting that the Yoram have used some of their  human victims as food. Although it is not known whether their food needs are wider, this would explain the fate of many who were telepathically attracted to Vupa 6 and who have never been heard from again.

2. Culture

Rites and customs: Although almost everything about the Yoram is unknown, vestiges have been found that point towards some kind of barbaric animism, with shrines made with organic fragments of their human victims.

Govern System: Unknown


3. Technology

So far, various artefacts have been discovered, all of them appearing to be from an organic-mineral origin. Among the artefacts are noteworthy exo-skeleton plates for Mechs or strange and fine antennae that seem to be applied by piercing their victim's skulls to maintain telepathic control at a distance.

4. History

Since the purple haze that invades the atmosphere of Vupa 6 has been attributed to the atmospheric manipulation by the Yoram, it is estimated that they occupied the planet at least three centuries ago, although the date on which they settled on Vupa 6 could be much earlier.

From the own testimony given by the Yoram, it is believed that the process of terraforming that the planet Vupa 6 has been subjected to culminate in what the Yoram call "the awakening" at which point the Yoram will be able to breathe the atmosphere of Vupa 6 and move freely around the planet, suggesting that as long as this process is not completed, they are subject to some sort of important limitation.

The first reference of the Yoram was obtained during the military campaign by the Illyrian Hegemony on Vupa 6 in 3325, where the purpose was to locate and to destroy the origin of the numerous incidents that were taking place in the sector and had caused Vupa 6 to become purple in colour.

The campaign was a disaster with the Illyrian forces turning on each other, forcing the participation of the mercenary clans.

When the mercenary clans that were summoned to try to save as many of Illyria's troops as possible and managed to control the disaster, the Yoram employed telepathically controlled human puppets, threatening the survivors and forcing them to withdraw from the planet without interfering in what they called their awakening.

The awakening of the Yoram is a new threat to mankind.
