Palamok

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Palamok is the Yanme'e homeworld. Its atmospheric composition is similar to that of Earth, yet inhospitable to humans. It has average surface temperatures of 29°C to 42°C (84.2°F to 107.6°F), and its gravity is two times that of Earth, so that would present a challenge on the evolution of the wings of the Yanme'e, but, it gives them excellent flight skills in the gravity of Earth.

It seems illogical for an airborne insectoid race to have evolved on a high gravity planet, because the greater gravity would have caused the exoskeleton of insects of that size to collapse upon itself, thus restricting the size of insects in the same manner as it is here on Earth. The exoskeleton, however, may be reinforced by internal struts, similar to that of bird bones to resist the high gravity levels.

Trivia

• Guardian may be set on Palamok, because Yanme'e screeches can be heard if the player listens carefully enough.
