- Tour the Great Temple on Yavin 4

The Massassi were a species who lived on Yavin 4, the fourth moon of Yavin.

History
The Massassi, who were once enslaved by the Sith, built the Great Temple of Massassi in the jungles of Yavin 4 five thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Massassi race was extinct.

After their extinction, the Massassi were mentioned in a travel advertisement written by a Special Galaxy Reporter who had investigated the Great Temple ruins after the Alliance to Restore the Republic abandoned the jungle moon.
