Yavin Prime

Yavin was a gas giant in the Gordian Reach Sector (part of the Bright Jewel Oversector). It was located on the backward Gordian Reach, a hyperspace route from which the sector got its name. Yavin was best known for its moon, Yavin 4, which was the location of the Rebel Alliance's base prior its discovery and near destruction in the Battle of Yavin. Yavin had two other habitable moons, Yavin 8 and Yavin 13.

Yavin Station orbited the planet and was used for corusca gem "fishing" until it blew apart 3956 BBY and crashing on Yavin 22. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Baron Orman Tagge constructed Achtnak Turbine Station, hidden within the gas giant, from which he laucnhed TIE attacks on Massassi Station; Achtnak was destroyed by Luke Skywalker. Lando Calrissian later established GemDiver Station in the giant's orbit, for the "fishing" of corusca gems. GemDiver Station was attacked by the forces of the Shadow Academy.
