Ylesia/Legends

Ylesia is a tropical world controlled by the Besadii Hutts. It was alleged by the Besadii to be a religious retreat where pilgrims could seek sanctuary. Han Solo's first job was on Ylesia.

The Besadii Hutts purported the planet to be a religious retreat, but it was in fact a scheme to trap willing slaves in order to process spice. The Besadii would use male t'landa Til to produce what they called the Exultation, a concocted religious ceremony which would grip most sentients in a powerful and addictive pleasure.

The t'landa Til of Ylesia would go on "missionary" journeys, giving the Exultation to crowds of those listening. This glimpse was often enough to ensnare those who were looking for something more to life.

It was on Ylesia that Han Solo met his first girlfriend, Bria Tharen. At the time, she was known as "Pilgrim 921," having given up all worldly things for her "pilgrimage." She eventually revealed her real name to the persistent Solo. Later, the two escaped the planet along with Muurgh and his mate Mrrhov.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Ylesia was taken from the Hutts and given to the Peace Brigade to use as their headquarters.
