H'nemthe (species)

"Mating is such a solemn thing, such an awe-inspiring thing."

- M'iiyoom Onith

The H'nemthe were a sentient species native to a planet of the same name.

Description
The H'nemthe were a sentient species of Humanoid reptiles native to the Outer Rim Territories planet of the same name.

Society and culture
For the H'nemthe, the meaning of life was finding true love. Since the species' populations were heavily skewed towards males, both sexes were required to be highly selective when choosing a mate. A H'nemthe chose a mate for life, and made love with the purpose of reproduction and spiritual enlightenment. However, once the deed was done, the female would disembowel her mate in a deadly H'nemthe kiss, feeling fulfilled by the coming of new life into the world.

Virgin females were protected by H'nemthe law and rarely ventured outside. They only ate fruit and vegetables until ready to taste the flesh of a mate.

H'nemthe in the galaxy
The H'nemthe virgin M'iiyoom Onith was one of the few to leave her homeworld, and fell madly in love with the Gotal Feltipern Trevagg on Tatooine. They indulged in a wild, lust-fueled romp despite being genetically incompatible, after which M'iiyoom faithfully disemboweled her mate.
