The Kaleesh were a reptilian sentient species that hail from the planet of Kalee. They were a race of hunter-warriors that prided themselves in their physical abilities, sharply attuned minds, and religious value. The Kaleesh were known as being some of the Galaxies most and adaptive warriors, as well as being keen strategists. They lived in a world of constant war against a technologically advanced insectoid species known as the Yam'rii. They were called the Huk, or "soulless bugs" by the Kaleesh.
