'''Palamok''' is the third planet of the [[Napret system]], and the homeworld of the [[Yanme'e]]. The planet is orbited by four moons: [[Naxook]], [[Oquiu]], [[Ka'amoti]], and [[Kami]].{{Ref/Reuse|best}} | |||
''' | ==History== | ||
The Yanme'e evolved on Palamok from a winged, tree-dwelling arthropod species.<ref name="waypointarticle">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/yanme-e-drones ''Halo Waypoint'': Yanme'e]</ref> At some point, Palamok was observed by the [[Forerunners]] and the Yanme'e were indexed by the [[Librarian]] to be preserved on [[Installation 00]] for preservation from the [[Halo Array]]. The Yanme'e were eventually returned to their homeworld.{{Ref/Reuse|best}} | |||
Eventually, the Yanme'e rebuilt their society and colonized at least two [[moon]]s of Palamok: [[Oquiu]] and [[Ka'amoti]].{{Ref/Reuse|waypointarticle}} In [[1112]], the [[Covenant]] discovered Palamok while the Covenant was searching for Forerunner artifacts.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', page 159 (2011 edition)</ref> A war broke out between the Yanme'e and the Covenant, and it was the Yanme'e that fared better in battle. However, [[San'Shyuum]] within the Covenant were not willing to [[Glassing|glass]] Palamok, as they believed that Palamok's Yanme'e hives could be guarding Forerunner relics on the planet's surface. After the Covenant discovered how to communicate with the species, they made peace with the Yanme'e and incorporated them into the Covenant. In the war's aftermath, it was discovered what Forerunner installations existed on the world proved inaccessible to the Covenant.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', page 192 (2022 edition)</ref> An assembly of [[Yanme'e Queen|Hive Queens]] on Palamok would later allow members of the protector caste be conscripted into the [[Covenant military]].<ref name="bc15">''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]'', Chapter 15</ref> After the dissolution of the Covenant and end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], many Yanme'e returned to Palamok and the [[Napret system]].{{Ref/Reuse|waypointarticle}} | |||
==Topography== | |||
Palamok is a massive planet with a stable environment. The atmosphere is quite warm.<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', page 309</ref> Its atmospheric composition is similar to that of [[Earth]], yet inhospitable to [[human]]s. Palamok itself is quite earthlike although significantly larger and tending to tropical extremes. It is a flat and geologically featureless world with little tectonic or volcanic activity. Palamok has average surface temperatures of 29°C to 42°C (84.2°F to 107.6°F), and has a gravity twice that of Earth. This 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 and caused the development of their hard carapaces.{{Ref/Reuse|best}} Palamok was home to dense jungles that covered a large part of the planet's surface. The jungle canopies were often home to Yanme'e hives.{{Ref/Reuse|waypointarticle}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Palamok in [[Wikipedia:Filipino language|Filipino]] means "increasing of mosquitoes", which likely refers to the insectoid body structure and behavior of the Yanme'e. | |||
