Yarkora, who are also referred to as Yarkorans or Yak Faces, were a sentient species that originated within the galaxy. Examples of Yarkora include Saelt-Marae and the Jedi Master known as Adampo. As a result of their constant eating habits throughout the day, the Yarkora possessed a unique physiology, featuring two stomachs, four kidneys, and three livers.
Originally, in the initial script for "A Friend in Need," which is the fourteenth episode of the fourth season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series', the planet Carlac was intended to be populated by Yarkora. It's worth noting that the name was sometimes written as "Yakoran" in certain conceptual artworks. However, in the end, the inhabitants of Carlac were changed to the Ming Po people.
