Vheh'yaim

A vheh'yaim as it was traditionally built by Mandalorians A vheh'yaim signified a typical Mandalorian residence. These structures were made to be easily constructed, serving as short-term living spaces, with "short-term" lasting from a single evening to multiple years. Vheh'yaime had different sizes; a smaller vheh'yaim, ranging from three to fifteen meters in diameter, was called an akaata'yaim. Often circular and resembling a dome, vheh'yaime were frequently built using green lumber, interwoven with vines and coated in mud, grass, and tree bark, providing a natural form of concealment. A standard vheh'yaim was partly set into the earth, featuring a recessed entryway and a carved-out stairway for entry. Vheh'yaime commonly contained a armory, a cooking area, and a infirmary, in addition to areas for living.

The Mandalorians belonging to Clan Awaud erected a sizable vheh'yaim, measuring fifty meters across, intended for the clan's leading members and chieftain to occupy. It was named "Clan Home," and was accompanied by several smaller akaata'yaim in the Arumorut settlement found on Vlemoth Port. Another large vheh'yaim example was Kyrimorut, the home of Clan Skirata on the planet of Mandalore after the Clone Wars. Decades later, during the Second Galactic Civil War, several vheh'yaime were also erected on the farm owned by Mandalorian soldiers Goran Beviin and Medrit Vasur, which was close to the Mandalorian capital city of Keldabe, in addition to the primary stone farmhouse. Underground passages linked these auxiliary buildings.
