A '''Primat''' is the apparent leader of each [[Ur-Quan]] faction. Admittedly there are few references to either the [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah|Kohr-Ah]] and [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za|Kzer-Za]] Primats: a Ur-Quan Kzer-Za mentions the Kohr-Ah Primat when [[The Captain]] informs it of the existence of the [[Talking Pet (device)|neo-Dnyarri]], and the [[Yehat]] apparently refer to the Kzer-Za Primat when describing the post-[[Ur-Quan Slave War|War]] fate of Admiral [[ZEX]].

It is known that in the case of the Kzer-Za, each member is designated by a number (as is seen in the captain names) that corresponds to their position within the Kzer-Za power hierarchy. The Kohr-Ah captains are similarly named, which may indicate that they use a similar scheme to indicate rank. Therefore "Primat" may be a general title that can also be used to refer to this supreme faction authority — though Ur-Quan Lord 1 is not referred to as a Primat by the [[Spathi]].{{ref|1}}

Interesting to note, the Kzer-Za refer to the Kohr-Ah Primat as "she", suggesting that the creature is of feminine gender.

==Notes and references==
{{note|1}}''The exact title of the ultimate leader is uncertain. According to the [[Star Control II]] manual (p. 66, PC), the ultimate leader of the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za faction is called the "Ur-Quan Master #1". However, when the Spathi were subjugated, the Spathi leaders dealt "Ur-Quan Lord 1", which appears to follow the naming pattern of the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za captains.''
