Geographical Features

Little is known about the planet. In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, it is shown orbiting a binary star system and possesses a ring. Gravity, day/night cycles, atmospheric composition, continental distribution, etc., are unknown.

The planet has some material used to construct weapons of the hunt, such as Yautja Bow.^[6]

Terrain and Climate

The climate is presumably hot and humid throughout many parts of the world. In volcanic biomes as shown in AVP: R, intense volcanic activity is still present. The same biomes are also known to contain areas of lethal radioactivity, as the dangerous Vy'drach dwells in these areas.

While not featured in Prey, the director Dan Trachtenberg mentioned that forest biome exists in the planet also. He elaborated that clans of Jungle Hunter, City Hunter, and Berserker Predator hailed from there in stark contrast of Feral Predator's clan who hailed in desert biome.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]

Behind the scenes

While a planet named Yautja Prime was first mentioned on the "No Space Is Safe From Predator" map included as part of the Predator Official Fan App in 2018, it was not until the 2022 releases of Predator: Eyes of the Demon and Aliens vs. Predators: Rift War that the Yautja homeworld was officiailly identified as Yautja Prime.^[11]
