"This community of yours will not serve. It will prove its strength or we shall own it."

Yahg (Latin: Patriarcha Feris, literally meaning "brutal patriarch") are a sentient/sapient organic bipedal species native to their homeworld of Parnack and of the reptilian classification. Achieving interstellar travel in 2186 CE, the yahg had made first contact with the Council decades earlier in 2125 CE, but had massacred the Council delegation for what they perceived as an insult to their culture due to the Council treating them like equals. A species of large, towering brutes, the yahg are incredibly intelligent, possessing an intellect comparable to that of a salarian, with three times the strength of a krogan. Although limited by their pack-based culture and society, predicated on the belief that the strong must dominate the weak and the weak should be subordinate to the strong, the yahg are viewed by the rest of the galaxy as extremely dangerous. Despite this, the yahg are highly isolationist and not particularly aggressive, choosing to keep to themselves and focused only on maintaining their way of life.
