Yavin 4

Yavin 4 was one of three habitablemoonsorbiting thegas giantYavin. It was mainly covered injungle andrainforest, and despite being remote and unheard of, it would play an important role ingalactic events, including the seduction of Jedi KnightExar Kun to the dark side and the destruction of Sith LordFreedon Nadd during theGreat Sith War, the site of the eventual final death of the maddened JediRevan in the waning days of theGalactic War, a ferociousduel betweenJedi andSith during theClone Wars, and serving as the base of theAlliance to Restore the Republic during theBattle of Yavin and as a battlefield in other battles of theGalactic Civil War. An attack was launched on theDeath Star from thismoon. It also became the base for a Jedi Academy after the war ended.

Geography[]

Landforms[]

Yavin 4 was the largestmoon orbiting thegas giantYavin Prime, which itself was located in theYavin system and was part of theGordian Reach in theOuter Rim Territories about 40,500light years away from thegalactic core.^[3] The moon was around 10,200kilometres in diameter and was composed of amolten metallic core with a thick, immobile low-relief silicate crust, which made Yavin 4 dense enough to have a standard-type surfacegravity similar toCoruscant andAlderaan.^[2][3]

The surface was made up of four continents which accounted for sixty-seven percent of the moon's surface. These continents were mostly covered in large sprawling tropical jungles with tall canopies though there were also a fewmountain ridges like theYunteh Mountains, dominated byvolcanoes such as theNicolo andBorundi Peaks.

Yavin 4 also had six interconnectedoceans which covered the remaining thirty-three percent of the moon. There was also a large landlocked sea on the moon. As a relatively young world, the tiny jungle moon experienced a considerable amount of geothermal activity. Large rivers flowed dramatically from volcanic heights and then followed a more meandering pace through the jungles.

Whenscouts fromWetyin's Colony onSetor discovered themoon decades before the current era, the colonists dubbed these continents the names ofStarloft,Swivven,Koos andWetyin, though the scouts eventually left the moon.

Species[]

Yavin 4's large, sprawling tropical jungles teemed with an abundance of life.Whisper birds soared above the thick jungle canopy. Troops of arborealWoolamanders fed on fruits in the thick jungle canopy. The trees were also home to another rodentspecies known as theStintarils.

Large and shaggy herbivores known asrunyips rooted through the underbrush beneath the trees, whileHowler predators stunned their prey with loud cries. The moon's rivers also teemed with life includingaquatic gundarks,mucous salamanders,crystal snakes, crustaceans known asanglers,crawlfish, serpentinethyrsl andarmored eels. Swarms of viciouspiranha beetles scoured the air in terrifying swarms hunting for prey.

Yavin 4 experienced two extreme seasons; a wet season which caused violent storms, and a corresponding dry season.^[29]

History[]

Old Republic era[]

Sith stronghold[]

In5000 BBY,^[32] theDark Lord of the SithNaga Sadow fled to Yavin 4 on his flagship along with an army ofMassassi warriors following the defeat of hisSith forces during theGreat Hyperspace War by theGalactic Republic.^[24] He then conductedSith alchemic experiments on his Massassi warriors, causing them to mutate from red-skinned humanoids into fearsome, savage, hunchbacked predators. Despite these abuses, his Massassislaves built hugetemples to honor^[9] their Dark Lord.^[33]

Sadow also encased himself in a Sith sarcophagus, where he remained in a coma-like trance for centuries, waiting for someone to call upon his power and continue the history of the Sith. He remained in suspended animation until4400 BBY, when a fallen Jedi namedFreedon Nadd arrived at Yavin 4. By then, the descendants of the Massassi had devolved into a primitive hunter-warrior society, which recalled theGolden Age of the Sith. At first, the Massassi attacked Nadd, though his use of the Force amazed them. Impressed by Nadd's Force powers, the bestial Massassi showed him where theDark Lord rested, waiting for another with dark-side potential to find him. Nadd then awoke Naga Sadow, who taught him in the ways of the Sith, until—as was the Sith's nature—Nadd killed him,^[32] becoming Dark Lord himself.^[34]

Centuries later, in3997 BBY,^[32] the fallen JediExar Kun went to Yavin 4 at the advice of the dark-side spirit of Freedon Nadd. There he discovered the Massassi, who tried to sacrifice him to a monstrous beast of alchemical origins beneath their main temple. However, using his dark powers, he managed to save himself. The dark-side manifestation of Freedon Nadd appeared, delighted with Kun's actions and claiming him as his ally—though Exar Kun would hear none of this and instead used his newly found Sith powers to destroy Nadd.^[9]

As the new Dark Lord of the Sith, he enslaved the Massassi and took over Yavin 4. He used his Massassi slaves to construct new Sith temples and palaces, based on Sith architecture and designed to focus dark powers. His slaves also discovered the flagship of Naga Sadow beneath the ruins of an ancient Massassi temple.^[35] He also created viciousSithspawn, including thebattle hydras,terentateks,^[32] and theNight Beast.^[36] The Sith Lord also imprisoned the souls of the children of the Massassi in a malevolent dark-side device known as theGolden Globe.^[37]

Later, Kun allied himself with theKrath, another group of dark-siders based in theEmpress Teta system under the leadership ofAleema Keto and another fallen Jedi,Ulic Qel-Droma.^[38] In3996 BBY,^[32] Kun went to the Jedi world ofOssus^[39] and recruited twenty Jedi to his cause, thus starting theBrotherhood of the Sith. Kun, along with his Krath and Mandalorian allies, waged war on the Republic and the Jedi.^[40] The Jedi eventually prevailed and gathered their forces for anassault on Yavin 4. However, as the orbiting Jedi fleet launched a wall of light-side power which bombarded the jungle moon, Kun gathered his Massassi followers into theGreat Temple and drained their life energies in order to free his spirit from his body and invest it into the surrounding structures,^[41] where he would remain for millennia.^[13]

Jedi Cleansing[]

The Jedi attack obliterated much of the jungles and scorched the temple complex to the extent that nothing could survive. After the attack, the Jedi established anunderground city on the moon and used it to modify the climate of the moon into a jungle state and to help restore the planet's ecosystem and ensure that Kun is never awakened.^[42] During theGreat Hunt, the moon wascleansed ofterentateks by the Jedi.^[25]

The Jedi eventually left Yavin, erasing information about the moon hoping to end its evil legacy;^[2] though in later years at least one individual still knew its location, as the "Jedi prince"Ken was hidden there by a brown-robed Jedi Master. The city was eventually rediscovered byLuke Skywalker, who trapped the imposterKadann,Supreme Prophet of theProphets of the Dark Side, there.^[43]

Galactic War[]

During theGalactic War between the Republic and theresurrected Sith Empire, the former Jedi Master and former Sith LordRevan began plotting against both sides. His followers, called theOrder of Revan or the Revanites, took over Yavin 4. Revan planned to resurrect theSith Emperor, who remained in an incorporeal state after his defeat by theHero of Tython, so that he could kill the Emperor once and for all.SIS agentTheron Shan and Sith LordLana Beniko brokered a truce between the Republic and the Empire so that they could work together to defeat Revan. Republic and Imperial forces, led byGrand MasterSatele Shan andDark CouncilorDarth Marr respectively,invaded the moon. Revan was ultimately defeated, but the Sith Emperor regained some of his strength regardless and left the moon.^[5]

Rise of the Empire era[]

The system was rediscovered by hyperspace scouts from theHydian Way and became the site of a brief rush onCorusca gems inside the gas giant.^[2]

About four hundred years before the Battle of Yavin, theKushibanJedi MasterIkrit came to the moon and discovered theGolden Globe within thePalace of the Woolamander. Unable to break the curse and free the countless trapped Massassi children, he waited until someone came along who could.

TheWolhanian expedition of archaeologists studied the Massassi ruins. They uncovered a bas-relief depicting Jedi and Sith battling in the Great Hyperspace War as well as aSith Chalice. Both of these items ended up in the art collection of Supreme ChancellorPalpatine.

During the time of theClone Wars,Anakin Skywalker trackedAsajj Ventress to Yavin 4 following her attack on Republic starfighters at theBattle of Muunilinst. It was here that she destroyed Anakin's customizedJedi Starfighter, theAzure Angel, as well as killing the clone troopers thatObi-Wan Kenobi sent to follow him. Anakin and Asajj had their first duel through the thick jungles and the Massassi ruins until Anakin bested her and knocked her off one of the temples. She was presumed dead and he took off in herGinivex-class starfighter.

Imperial era[]

Rebel base[]

In1 BBY,Sullustan pilotDr'uun Unnh scouted the moon as a potential base for theRebellion. The moon was home to the Rebel Alliance's main military base,Massassi Station, built from theGreat Temple of the Massassi, prior to and during theBattle of Yavin. The Rebels established this base in following the abandonment of their previous base on the planetDantooine. TheGalactic Empire sought to use its newspace stationsuperweapon, theDeath Star I, to destroy the small jungle moon and crush the Rebellion. Following theDestruction of Alderaan, the Empire sent a legion ofstormtroopers to confirm Rebel presence on the moon. They discovered the rebels, and established a monitoring outpost at theMassassi Arena. Following the skirmish, a small force ofX-wing andY-wingstarfighters were sent to destroy the Death Star, but most were killed in the attack. With the timely assistance of his friendHan Solo,Luke Skywalker was able to fire twoproton torpedoes into a small thermal exhaust port in a small trench near the northern pole, thus destroying the station and saving Yavin 4. A great ceremony was held following the Death Star's destruction, wherePrincessLeia bestowed medals of honor upon Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, along with hisWookiee co-pilot,Chewbacca.

This battle became known as theBattle of Yavin, and its date is used galaxywide for marking events. Events before the Battle of Yavin are marked by BBY, and events that occur after are marked by ABY. A few days after the battle, Solo and Chewbacca stole ancient Sith treasures from the temples, and sold them, to finance replacements for the devastating Rebel losses against the Death Star.

Imperial onslaught[]

The Rebels remained on the moon for 6 months afterwards, until finally escaping theImperial blockade. Yavin 4 requested the assistance of theDefiance in order to protect their evacuating ships in space. GeneralJan Dodonna remained behind, blowing up a temple to damage the Imperial forces. Under the secret observation ofMara Jade,Darth Vader wiped out the remaining ground troops and captured the injured Dodonna, whom Vader interrogated until Dodonna revealed theRebel presence onReytha. Dodonna was then imprisoned aboard theLusankya, although most Rebels, and even Mara Jade, mistakenly believed him dead. The Empire then occupied the moon.

The Empire maintained a military base, alabor outpost, and amining outpost on the planet. Because of Yavin 4 by that point being under Imperial jurisdiction, the Empire also granted access towards tourists viaIntergalactic Passports.^[45]

New Republic era[]

Following the defeat of the Galactic Empire in4 ABY at theBattle of Endor, theNew Republic presumably took back the jungle moon from the Empire. The small village ofVornez was established and theSenate Planetary Intelligence Network was headquartered on Yavin 4 though it would later be replaced byNew Republic Intelligence.

In5 ABY, after receiving a vision fromObi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker searched for and discovered theLost City of the Jedi. Here he foundKen, a young boy and the heir to the formerEmperorPalpatine who'd been hidden there by the Jedi and taken care of by droids. When the self-proclaimed emperorTrioculus heard about the discovery of the city and the young boy, he led an assault on the planet with squadrons ofTreaded Neutron Torches andStormtroopers however he was defeated by theNew Republic.

Jedi teaching center[]

In11 ABY,Jedi Master Luke Skywalker chose Yavin 4 as the site for theJedi Praxeum and the headquarters of hisNew Jedi Order after receiving permission from the New Republic. During his travels, he had discovered a number ofForce-sensitives and finally felt ready to begin to train new Jedi.^[11] This first class consisted of twelve pupils with Luke as their teacher. Some of those twelve wereKam andTionne Solusar,Kirana Ti,^[13]Madurrin,^[46]Kyle Katarn,^[47]Dorsk 81,^[13]Brakiss,Corran Horn,^[48]Streen, andGantoris. Other Jedi to join soon after wereKyp Durron,Cilghal,Mara Jade,^[13] andDal Konur.^[49]

It was not long before it became apparent that not all was well at the Academy. The spirit of Exar Kun, Sith Lord, haunted atemple on the moon and began to influence Luke's students towards the dark side. Kun attacked Luke, forcing him into a coma, and Kyp Durron, one of the most promising students, fled the Academy in theSun Crusher,^[13] wreaking havoc on the galaxy and destroying the Imperialfortress world ofCarida. Eventually Luke was awoken and the Sith spirit was defeated by a joint Jedi offensive including the then infantSolo twins.^[12]

In12 ABY,AdmiralDaala and thenVice AdmiralGilad Pellaeon attacked the Jedi Praxeum with a fleet of 17Imperial-class Star Destroyers and theSuper Star DestroyerKnight Hammer. Legions of Stormtroopers and ground assault vehicles were also unleashed on the Jedi who fought them back by using the Force to drive the Imperials to the edges of the Yavin system thoughDorsk 81 was killed in the process.^[50]

Later that year, theEmpire Reborn underDesann and AdmiralGalak Fyyar attacked the Jedi Praxeum though they too would be defeated by the efforts of the Jedi and their New Republic allies. Because of his heroic actions, Kyle Katarn chose to rejoin the New Jedi Order.^[47]

Unwitting discoveries[]

In22 ABY,Anakin Solo (the youngest of theSolo children) andTahiri Veila discovered the Golden Globe and the Kushiban Jedi Master Ikrit during an exploration of the crumblingPalace of the Woolamander. With the help of Ikrit and ancient Massassi engravings found at the Palace and on nearbyYavin 8, the pair broke the curse of the Golden Globe, thus freeing the trapped Massassi children.

In23 ABY, during an exploration of the surrounding jungles, the Solo twinsJacen andJaina, along with their friendsTenel Ka andLowbacca discovered the wreckage of aTIE Fighter from the Battle of Yavin. Unfortunately, thepilot of the vehicleQorl reappeared and took the Solo twins hostage, forcing them to repair the damaged ship before escaping intohyperspace to rejoin the Empire.

Later that year, the Jedi Praxeum was attacked by the dark sideShadow Academy and the Imperial insurgency groupSecond Imperium. However, they were defeated by the combined efforts of the Jedi and their New Republic allies.

Yuuzhan Vong War[]

Praxeum's destruction[]

For the first year the of theYuuzhan Vong War, the moon was protected from theYuuzhan Vong via use of the Force to create an illusory projection, a technique borrowed from theFallanassi. However, the Jedi Praxeum was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong in26 ABY. ThePeace Brigade/Yuuzhan Vongvictory was partially due to the fact that the New Republic was unwilling to provide aid for the Jedi. By then, most Jedi had been mobilized for military action and only the youngest Jedi adepts and trainees remained at the Jedi Praxeum. The destruction of the "heretic Jeedai" provided a large morale boost to the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Jedi Anakin Solo and the smuggler kingpinTalon Karrde, along with his personal fleet, managed to evacuate the vast majority of the remaining Jedi trainees, though theKushiban Jedi MasterIkrit was killed by the Peace Brigade troops and Tahiri Veila was captured.

Yuuzhan Vong occupation[]

With Yavin 4 in their hands, the Yuuzhan Vong initiated aVongforming program on the moon by usingdamuteks to flatten the ancient Massassi temples and then establishing a colony. Meanwhile, theMaster ShaperMezhan Kwaad and her apprenticeNen Yim began performing experiments on Tahiri, in an attempt to brainwash her by replacing her personality with that of Riina Kwaad, an identity formed out of memories copied from Nen Yim's own childhood.^[10]

Rather than have his friend Tahiri suffer in the hands of the enemy, Anakin went on a mission to rescue her. With the help of Qorl who had been eking out a life in the jungle ever since the defeat of the Second Imperium and theShamed Yuuzhan VongVua Rapuung, Anakin managed to infiltrate the Yuuzhan Vong compound disguised as a slave.^[10]

While in the enemy base, Anakin learned thatVua Rapuung had once been a skilledWarrior. He once had an affair with Mezhan Kwaad. When Rapuung decided to break off the affair, Kwaad, fearful he would reveal their affair, infected him with a virus that caused his body to reject implants he received after his escalation, rendering him a Shamed One. Rapuung, however, knew that Kwaad was responsible. Faced with a common enemy, Rapuung agreed to help Anakin rescue Tahiri on the condition that he would help him confront Kwaad.^[10]

Together, they made it to the damutek where Kwaad had been reshaping Tahiri into believing she was Riina Kwaad. They then fought their way into a shuttle that carried Kwaad, Nen Yim and Tahiri. In front of hundreds of Yuuzhan Vong ranging fromShapers, Warriors,Workers to Shamed Ones, Rapuung confronted his former lover, who had just been discovered to be practicing heresy, and demanded she answer whether the Gods were responsible for his shaming, or if she was. Kwaad admitted her role, then mortally wounded Rapuung with a weapon concealed in her Shaper Hand.^[10]

Dying, he gave Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila enough time to escape. Anakin and Tahiri fled, along with Qorl and the others, on a repaired freighter. This incident started a legend among the Shamed Ones that said he was redeemed in his death, thus beginning theJeedai heresy. Members of this sect saw the Jedi as saviors rather than enemies, and would be cultivated on worlds such asDubrillion^[51] and conquered Coruscant, helping to topple theYuuzhan Vong empire.

Later history[]

Following theliberation of Coruscant from the Yuuzhan Vong in29 ABY, Grand Master Luke Skywalker dismissed the notion of rebuilding the Praxeum, however, stating that the Praxeum had served its purpose, and that the Jedi would find a new homeelsewhere.^[52]

Behind the scenes[]

The real-world location of Yavin 4 is the ruins of an ancient Mayan city atTikal,Guatemala.

Most of the shots of approaches to Yavin 4 from space are just repeats or copies of theMillennium Falcon approach inA New Hope, the only change being a ship replacement.

The PC gameStar Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Yavin 4 in theSumitra sector.

The online gameStar Wars Galaxies features two hidden Jedi Enclaves on the planet, one light and one dark. They served as meeting places for Jedi of the game, and were guarded by two CL 500Jedi Sentinels. As of Chapter 7, the enclaves are no longer in usage, and the Sentinels have been removed, but the ruins of the enclaves could still be visited.
