The moon Yavin 4 orbits the gas giant, Yavin
A moon was a celestial body that circled around a planet. A planet could have several moons orbiting around it, as exemplified by Hoth[1] or Iego—which was nicknamed the "Planet of a Thousand Moons."[2] Just like planets, moons came in a variety of terrains, from barren rock[3] to lush forests.[4]
Some moons were habitable, such as the moons of Naboo, which at one point hosted spice mines.[5] The Rebel Alliance maintained a base on the fourth moon of the gas giant Yavin.[6] The forest moon of Endor and the space around it were the site of a decisive conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.[7]
