| - | The Yelk are a race of sentient fungi, occupying the caves of Fornax XII in the [[sector:Veil Sector]]. The surface of Fornax XII is periodically bathed in lethal radiation from its star, but life thrives in tunnels carved by rivers into the calcium-rich rock that is abundant on the planet. The Yelk evolved as an extremely cooperative society to exploit resources and protect themselves from predators, and were making the first steps towards interplanetary spaceflight when their radio signals were discovered by the Ascendancy in 3294PT. Due to the First Tulaki Invasion occurring at the time, the majority of contact between Terrans and Yelk was visits by independent traders and scientists, most with separatist leanings. The Yelk were among the initial signatories of the Sovereign Worlds Charter in 3370PT. | + | The Yelk are a race of sentient fungi, occupying the caves of [[system:Fornax#Fornax XII]] in the [[sector:Veil Sector]].

| Physiologically, Yelk are quite resilient. Their bodies are quite homogeneous, and their flesh dense and spongy. They do not have bones or many of the muscular tissue in other species, and their flexible bodies move via a network of fluid-filled chambers, which can empty and fill in by contracting and expanding. This fluid network doubles as a nutrient circulatory system, and areas can be sealed off in response to injury. Their fluid-filled flesh and pale flesh leads them to be sensitive to bright light, and they tend to prefer dim, moist environments. | Physiologically, Yelk are quite resilient.
