The Yalarans were a sentient, yet primitive, species native to the Wild Space planet Yalara. Their homeworld was hidden by a cloaking device created by the Jedi Master Broden Kel Verdox, who believed that the Yalarans were not yet prepared for integration into the galaxy. Later, however, Noghri commandos traveled to Yalara, killed all the Yalarans, and set about guarding the device.
