Yankeeites

Yankeeites are a sub-species of human from the planet Yank in the Colonies. Yankeeites, or Yankees, are nearly identical from most humans with a few exceptions - Yankees are less intelligent, prone to meaningless violent outbursts and are on average considerably fatter than most humans.

Yankeeites are a highly introverted species, and therefore have very little knowledge or interest in the galaxy at large. While insular, Yankeeites are also an intensely egocentric culture, the general concensus among the populace of Yank being "Who cares about the galaxy, we're better than it anyhow." It is this manner of thinking and lack of understanding of other societies that has led to the Yankeeite concept of "If we don't understand it, blow it up." This has led to many galactic cultures feeling great animosity toward Yank and it's citizens. Non-Yankeeites who live on Yank or generally met with suspicion, fear, and sometimes worst of all, violence.

Aside from, and possibly because of, these spectacular societal disadvantages, Yankeeites are a highly militaristic society and have a vast and powerful army. The general practice of the Yank military is that if it's off-world interests are threatened, they will go blow something up. However, it may not necessarily be the correct target.
