Y'namx

Y'namx were a sentient species from the Mid Rim planet of Yonamx. They had orange skin, white eyes, and grey hair.

History
In 6,855 BBY the Y'namx people were contacted by the Galactic Republic as they explored Yonamx. Seeking technological advancement, they negotiated entry into the galactic community. Receiving faster than light technology, they traded with their neighbors and sent explorers around the galaxy.

By the final years of the Republic, however, they were falling behind in information and technology. Desperate to keep up, the Y'namx people began to join the Separatists, and in 22 BBY, their homeworld seceded from the Republic. Under the reign of the Galactic Empire, some Y'namx revolted, but most saw an opportunity to have their world advanced, and they worked with Imperial advancement programs. It took a few years for the majority of Y'namx to support the New Republic, but when the First Order arrived, they were sharply divided.
