Legend

this was the name of the monarch or ruler of the Yvarema people. The Majjvara was similar to the queen of an insectoid hive mind, and served the same purpose to the Yvarema. She was the source of their intelligence, but was dependent on the working classes for sustenance and new information. Unlike the rest of Yvarema society, which is largely humanoid in stature, the Majjvara is a huge, wormlike creature with ten vestigial limbs. She was positioned within a hovering throne that allowed her support her immense bulk, and surrounding this throne was a ring of incubation tubes in which Yvarema fetuses were growing. The Majjvara was connected to the tubes by a network of cables and wiring, allowing her to monitor the development of her young. The ancient Majjvara had to give birth normally, but modern Majjvara had their eggs placed in the incubation tubes for fertilization and development. Each Majjvara lived for about 400 years, providing the Yvarema society with stability. After the crew of the FarStar landed on Yvara, the Majjvara learned of the atrocities of the Empire from Gunthar, and pledged her support - in principle - to the New Republic.
