Yinchorr/Legends

Yinchorr was the Yinchorri homeworld, first charted in 475 BBY.

Galactic Republic
In 58 BBY, the Yinchorri were one of the last species to find representation in the Galactic Senate. Provoked by Darth Sidious, they attacked the Jedi Temple. The Jedi attempted to negotiate, but met only hostility. As a result of their actions, the homeworld of the Yinchorri was placed under interdiction by the Galactic Republic 33 BBY.

Galactic Empire


The Imperial Governor Marcellin Wessel held the Yinchorri Council of Elders hostage: in exchange for the Council's release, the Yinchorri attempted to deliver Leia Organa captive to the Empire. In the end, the Empire slaughtered the Council, and the Yinchorri rebelled. As a result, the Empire devastated the world, destroying its main city, Tol Kashorn. It was during this battle that a young soldier, Redd Wessel, first came to the attention of his superiors.

Palpatine had the Imperial Royal Guard Academy set up on this distant, devastated world. The harsh desert world made it ideal for the training of these elite guards.

New Republic
After the planet was liberated by the New Republic, the Yinchorri begin to rebuild their society, but did not rejoin the Galactic community.

New Empire


After the Sith-Imperial War, the planet became a military base for the new Empire, housing the 407th Stormtrooper Division.

Behind the scenes
The New Essential Chronology names Uhanayih, Yitheeth, and Yibikkoror as moons of Yinchorr, while Jedi Council: Acts of War makes it clear they are separate planets.
