Y-4 Raptor

a transport ship built by Incom, the Y-4 was designed for military duty. It was introduced to the Empire shortly before Incom was nationalized, and so never gained much popularity due to its assumed "Rebel" creators. Following the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Warlord Zsinj began using these ships as part of his Raptors squadron, thus the nickname Raptor became added to the Y-4 designation. At just under thirty meters, the Y-4 is a small ship. Its design is simple: a thin, deep body with basic engines and weapons. The unique thing about the Y-4 is its S-Foil-controlled wings, which aid the ship when dropping off cargo. Though small, the wings greatly stabilize the transport during military missions. The primary role of the Y-4 is the ferrying of troops and supplies between starships. It can accommodate up to forty troops and four AT-ST scout walkers. These can be delivered to docking bays or ground sites by via three folding access ramps on the left side. The military version of the Y-4 comes with a pair of forward-mounted laser cannons and a recessed concussion missile launcher. A civilian version of the Y-4 was eventually produced, lacking the weaponry, armor plating, and enhanced engines of the military version. (CPL, EGV)

Yag'Dhul

homeworld of the Givin, this is a small, dense planet with three moons. The moons exert intense gravitational forces on the small planet because they orbit in the opposite direction from Yag'Dhul. Yag'Dhul itself has a retrograde rotation of 175 standard hours, while the moons orbit the planet once every 53 standard hours. Thus, a month on Yag'Dhul is actually 122 hours shorter than its day. This sets up huge tidal forces that continually shifts its oceans and atmosphere from one side of the planet ot the other. This results in the displacement of the atmosphere and water around the planet, creating pockets of hard vacuum in certain areas. Many of the planet's lifeforms have simply survived by traveling with the tides, while the Givin have adapted by growing flexible exoskeletons that protect them from vacuum. (TLC, GG4, BW)

Yaga Minor

the planet from which the Outbound Flight Project was launched, Yaga Minor was the sight of an Imperial Ubiqtorate base and shipyard following the Battle of Endor. According to Rebellion, Yaga Minor is located in Sesswenna Sector. The Ubiqtorate base is housed in an orbital space station which had a unique design. Extending outward from the main station were a pair of corridor tubes that connected to outrider computer stations. This design, according to Imperial documents, allowed civilians to have access to information stored at the base, while keeping them out of the military section of the station. Grand Moff Tarkin maintained an extensive database at Yaga Minor, and wanted to ensure that his private files were never found. (DFR, TLC, REB, SOP, VOF)

the six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. She was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa.

Yarrv

this planet was a lush, tropical paradise covered with dense jungles, warm oceans, and wide sandy beaches. It was settled during the height of the Old Republic, several millennia before the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, an Alliance protocol droid which contained vital information on their activities in the sector and on the use of Hervack Starport on Steelious was lost on Yarrv and damaged. It reverted back to its former programming as a butler, and was inserted into the household of Baron Karin of Darpheos. Alliance agents had to infiltrate the Baron's house and recover the droid before Karin could decipher the information and use it against the Alliance and start a war with Steelious. The people of Yarrv were separated into twenty different castes, and each baron had a cross-section of these castes in his realm. The small number of barons controlled over ninety percent of the planet's wealth. All the barons were ruled by a planetary King. (GMS)

Yavin 4

an inhabitable moon of Yavin, it has a lush, tropical ecology which supports an abundance of life. It was home to the extinct Massassi race, which was subjugated by Exar Kun some 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor. The Massassi built huge temples in the jungles to focus the Dark Side energies Kun commanded. During the Great Sith War, Yavin 4 was were Kun made his final stand, draining the life energies of the Massassi to preserve his spirit despite the death of his flesh. The resulting clash of Force energies sparked huge forest fires that ravaged the jungles. When Ulic Qel-Droma returned several years after the war, the jungles were still barren of life. Over the millennia, however, life did return to the moon, and its jungles flourished. When the Alliance built their first main base, they chose Yavin 4 as an out-of-the-way location. Following the destruction of Alderaan and Princess Leia's rescue from the first Death Star, the Empire discovered the base's location and tried to destroy it. The Alliance's starfighters, led by Luke Skywalker, destroyed the station before it could fire on the moon. However, debris from the first Death Star rained down on Yavin 4 for months, touching off forest fires and laying waste to vast portions of the planet. The destruction was much less than that resulting from the Sith War, and much of the Alliance base remained intact. Mon Mothma and Leia Organa-Solo chose Yavin 4 as the site for Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum. The average day on Yavin 4 lasts 24 standard hours, and its year lasts 13.2 standard years. Note that I, Jedi indicates that Yavin 4 has its own moon. Yavin Four is described as the base of operations for the new government forming out of the Alliance, following the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, in The Glove of Darth Vader. The Lost City of the Jedi claims that Yavin 4 has four main continents, and the Lost City is found on the largest of them. The book also claims that, thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, Yavin 4 was a barren, cold ball of rock. The ancient Jedi created the lush, tropical environment, with a 6-month dry/6-month wet seasonal cycle, by building a weather and climate control center in the Lost City. They Jedi then programmed the caretaker droids to maintain the weather programs until they are told not to. The moon was later burnt extensively by Trioculus, in an attempt to locate the Lost City of the Jedi. (SW, DLS, TSW, HTF, JS, GDV, LCJ, JASB, IJ)

Yelsain

this forest world is found in the Yelsain System of the Minos Cluster. It was a large planet, although it lacked heavy metals in its composition. This resulted in a lower than normal gravity despite its size. The tress of the forests are immense, with older specimens measuring 400 meters in height. The original settlers were forced to battle the creatures which lived in the trees, and their exploits became the subject of a number of holo-vids produced on nearby Adarlon. The trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen at incredible rates, which means the oxygen content of its atmosphere is quite high. This leads to intense weather patterns, with nightly thunderstorms sweeping across the surface. Yelsain’s inhabitants are rural by galactic standards, although their colleges and universities are second to none. They live and work in sprawling cities built in the trees. The natives of the planet were fiercely loyal to the Old Republic, as a result of the Republic’s support of the settlement there. Many Jedi Knights claimed Yelsain as their home, and it was rumored that many Jedi hid there during Emperor Palpatine’s purge. The planet has a day which lasts 24 standard hours, and a year which lasts 249 local days. (GG6)

This association got him off Ryloth, and gave him the chance to master his leadership skills as he soon took control of the band. He eventually found himself in the Minos Cluster, where he set up a base of operations on Shesharile 5. He quickly set up shop as a crimelord, offering good rates on loans to lure people into his web. Since his initial entry into the Minos Cluster, Yerkys ne Dago has risen to become one of the system, quickly taking control of the Minos Cluster’s underworld. He has an annoying habit (to humans, anyway), of using his headtails to express his feelings. The left lekku flexes when he is angry and quivers when he’s content, while he uses the right lekku to add flair to his speeches. He had his lekku was painted every day in a different pattern, and was always impeccably dressed. (GG6)

The Yevetha have a hierarchical society, with the males being dominant. There are castes of males and females, and the higher classes alway dominate the lower. Lower-ranking Yevethan males must bear their necks in deferrence to their superiors. Yevetha are also extrememly quick to learn about new things, and are particularly adept at assimilating technology. They never eat in mixed company, and detest the smell and feel of other races. They have installed specialized bathing stations on their embassy ships, to wash away the scent of other races. The Yevetha originally came from the planet N'zoth, and had populated the nearest worlds when the Empire subjugated them and used the Koornacht Cluster as a base of operations for the Black Sword Command. Under the guidance of Nil Spaar, the Yevetha overthrew the Imperials following the Galactic Civil War, and created plans to purge the Koornacht - and eventually the galaxy - of non-Yevethans. This plan became known as the Great Purge, and was initiated about twelve years after their defeat of the Empire. (BTS, SOL)

Ylesia

this planet was covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents. The northern continent was located near the north pole, while the other two were located along the equator. The weather patterns on Ylesia were marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there. These patterns were due mainly to the planet’s swift rotation, which results in a ten-hour day. Much of the land is hidden under shallow, brackish water, resulting in swampy areas which abound with a strange fungus that thrives on fresh blood. The Hutts and t’landa Til set up a huge glitterstim processing plant on this world, using the front of a religious colony to obtain slave labor. An orbiting space station was positioned over Colony One, and was the primary debarkation point for new pilgrims and outgoing slaves. Bria Tharen and her Alliance crew often attacked slave ships leaving the space station. The planet eventually supported nine of the "religious" colonies before the Hutts started thinking about populating another world. (TPS, RD)

Ylesian Dream

Han Solo stowed away aboard this automated barge when it was docked to the Trader’s Luck. He managed to get the ship to Ylesia with the help of its R2-series pilot. Later, after being hired by Teroenza as a pilot, he used the Dream to train and perform routine transport runs. Han tried to train Muuurgh as a gunner, but had relatively poor luck. The Dream was hyperdrive-equipped. They were flying a shipment of glitterstim in it when they were attacked by pirates and forced to stop over on Alderaan. There, Han obtained medical help help for Muuurgh while attempting to sell some of the spice. Later, when Han and Bria tried to escape from Ylesia, Jalus Nebl flew the Dream in between the Helot's Shackle and broke a tractor beam lock, allowing them to escape. Nebl took the Dream and fled into hyperspace. He later joined the Alliance, and renamed the ship Dream of Freedom. (TPS, RD)

this 860-year-old Jedi Master was regarded as one of the primary leaders of the Jedi Council, in the decades leading up the to fall of the Old Republic. Along with Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi, Yoda was a strong voice in the Council’s decisions. However, when Qui-Gin Jinn brought nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker before the Council, Yoda was one of the few who voted not to train the boy. He was overruled, and Obi-Wan Kenobi was appointed the boy’s master. Several years later, as Senator Palpatine named himself Emperor and the Jedi were hunted down and destroyed, Yoda fled to Dagobah in hopes of eluding the Jedi purge by hiding among the intense life-force of the creatures there. He remained on Dagobah, and was eventually caught up in the Dark Jedi rebellion that engulfed Bpfassh as he was forced to destroy their leader when they fled to Dagobah. A period of relative tranquility passed for Yoda, until the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi directed Luke Skywalker to seek out the old Jedi Master. When Luke discovers him on Dagobah, following the Battle of Hoth, Yoda is almost 900 years old, and appears as a dimuntive elf-like creature with greenish-blue skin, wide eyes, and large pointed ears. He speaks in an archaic form of Basic. He claims to have watched over Luke's development for as long as Luke has been alive, not knowing if he would be able to train Luke or not, for he and Obi-Wan Kenobi realized that Luke might be the last of the Jedi Knights. Yoda took part in the events on Dathomir, along with the Jedi Masters Gra'aton and Vulatan, and foretold that the last of the Jedi Knights would someday come and defeat the Nightsisters. This would mark the end of the world as the witches knew it, and reshape their lives in profound ways. The Jedi Knight Yoda saw as Luke Skywalker. Yoda also foretold that Luke would be able to reveal the secret of the hundreds of reader disks that the Jedi kept with the witches of the Light Side (passed down to Rell), and that he would share them with the Dathomir witches. Yoda was portrayed by Frank Oz and Kathryn Mullen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Yoda was also portrayed by John Lithgow for the The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama on National Public Radio. Yoda was again voiced by Frank Oz, and puppeted by Kathy Smee, Don Austen, and David Greenaway in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. (ESB, ESBR, ROTJ, CPL, SW1)

Yonka, Sair

this Imperial Captain commanded the Avarice during the years after the Battle of Endor. Prior to serving under Ysanne Isard, he spent most of his career in the Outer Rim chasing pirates and protecting convoys. He was known as a smart and calculating officer, who worked to maximize his chances for survival. A native of Commenor, he grew up and fell in love with a woman named Aellyn, who later married Moff Riit Jandi after Yonka left for the Imperial Academy. When they met each other years later on Elshandruu Pica, they started an illicit affair with the help of Kina Margath. When word of this affair reached the ears of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron, through the droid Poe, they used it to convince Yonka to renounce his Imperial commission and join the New Republic. He accepted Wedge's proposal, and brought the Avarice and most of its crew with him. Those crewmen who wished to remain in Imperial service hijacked a Lambda-class shuttle and forced Yonka's forces to destroy them. The Star Destroyer was renamed the Freedom and was the first ship to fire on the Lusankya during the Battle of Thyferra. However, the Freedom also took heavy damage, and was disabled and adrift at the end of the fighting. (BW)

this being was a well-known smuggling baron who maintained a base on the moon of Carz. During the Galactic Civil War, he branched out into the profitable business of weapons running and armament supply. Yosger wasn't especially intelligent or reputable, and many of his customers were angry when he couldn't meet their orders. He was eventually neutralized by Nilya Fek'ra and a group of freelance mercenaries. (GMH)

Ysanna

a tribe of Force-sensitives living on modern-day Ossus, the Ysanna all seem to be able to harness some amount of the Froce for their own use. These warrior-priests use The Force to guide their out-dated projectile weapons, helping them obtain food and defend themselves. Their history shows that they arrived on Ossus just following the Great Sith War, and survived the devastation wrought on the planet during the Clone Wars. The Ysanna seem to have a bond with the tree-like, ancient Jedi Master Ood Bnar, who also survived the planet's many trials and remains alive when Luke and Kam discover the Ysanna youths Jem and Rayf. (DE2)

Ytterbium

a key element in the production of laser cannons, much of the galaxy's ytterbium came from the Sarrahban System. (RPG)

YT-1210

this Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighter was a predecessor to the YT-1300. The YT-1210 has the familiar saucer-shaped hull, but lacked the forward mandibles of the YT-1300. This craft measured some 35 meters in length, and the cockpit could be situated on either the left or right side. The basic crew consisted of a pilot and a gunner. (GG6)

YT-1300

Corellian light stock freighter built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It is a 2-man craft, and can accommodate up to six passengers. The YT-1300 measures 26.7 meters in length, and can hold 100 metric tons of cargo. The YT-1300 is armed with a single laser cannon, but carries to defensive shielding. The main hull is disk-shaped, with two trapezoidal pods extending from the front. The cockpit is offset-mounted on the right side of the disk. The top sublight speed of a YT-1300 is around 65 MGLT. 100-SBD shields protect a 50-RU hull. One of the primary drawbacks of this model transport is the off-center cockpit placement. While the cockpit can be positioned on either the left or right side, this positioning leaves a great deal of the ship out of the pilot’s view. While this is common for larger ships, the off-center placement makes it much harder to maneuver in tight spaces for many new pilots. The more skittish of these captains often install five-axis, laser-ranging pods near the front mandibles, in order to provide them realtime information about the parts of the ship they can’t see. (SW, SCRE, TIE, TT)

YT-2400

one of the light freighters in CEC's successful YT-series, the YT-2400 incorporates the saucer-shaped hull design that made the YT-1300 popular. However, the YT-2400 does not have the paired, forward-facing mandibles. It is simply the saucer hull with a heavily-braced cockpit section off to the right side. The YT-2400 has improved hull plating, power to spare, and additional space in the cargo and engine compartments. Thus, it was easily modified to accommodate larger engines and smuggling compartments. (SE, EGV)

Yzalli, Eamon

this was Corran Horn's alias when he went undercover and worked for Mosh Barris on Garqi. Yzalli was a native of Alderaan who devised a clever plan to expose the rebellion on Garqi, but he would actually free them from Barris' prisons and implicate the Prefect as a traitor to the Empire. Yzalli was to be executed by Barris for his "treachery," but instead sent a coded message to Kirtan Loor. The message implicated Barris in the escape of the Star's Delight, and claimed that he was planning to usurp Governor Tadrin and turn Garqi over to the New Republic. Horn later used the Yzalli alias, this time as a ship's mechanic aboard the Mimban Cloudrider when Rogue Squadron first pirated from Ysanne Isard's bacta cartel. (TFE, BW)
