The yruntadites are often considered the most respected sentient species in the galaxy, and are known for their disciplined and militaristic culture. This is partly due to the fact that the yruntadites were among the earliest races to achieve interstellar flight after the Curodians and the legendary Time Paladins. Originally from the planet Ithir, yruntadites are best known for their military role. They are respected for their public service ethic but are sometimes seen as imperialist or rigid by other races.
