The '''''Yentarr''''' were a [[Deity/Legends|deity]]-like entity that the deeply religious and philosophical [[Bosph (species)|Bosph]] [[Species/Legends|species]] believed in. To the Bosph ''Yentarr'' meant unknown spirits and any phenomenon the species could not explain was attributed to have been due to the ''Yentarr''. One such phenomenon was [[The Force/Legends|the Force]], which the Bosph called ''[[abo b'Yentarr]]'', meaning power of the gods. In Bosph society those who wielded ''abo b'Yentarr'' were named ''[[Ela b'Yentarr]]'' and brought into one of the species various government factions to rule their [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] [[Bosph (planet)|Bosph]]. When the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] [[Bombardment of Bosph|bombarded]] the Bosph homeworld after discovering the [[Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]] government, the Bosph took up a policy of dis-remembrance toward the Empire, refusing to acknowledge them as the ultimate insult a Bosph could give. The destruction and [[Death/Legends|death]] caused by the bombardment was instead attributed to an act of punishment by the ''Yentarr''.<ref name="AE" />

The article it appeared in gave a detailed description of the Bosph species and was part of the [[Alien Encounters (article series)|''Alien Encounters'']] series. It was written by [[Brian Smithson]] and published in [[1997]].
