Mount Yoda, originally called Mount Dagger,[2] was an enormous shield volcano on Dagobah that dated from the early years of that planet's formation, billions of years in the past.
Description[]
The only major geological feature on Dagobah, Mount Dagger stood ten kilometers tall and towered over the jungle canopy and the fog bank that shrouded the planet. A shield volcano, most of the shield had eroded away, leaving a craggy igneous spire that jutted above the clouds. The hardened lava-interior remained intact and ripe for geological exploration and discovery. Small plants and lichens found no where else on the planet thrived in the soil around Mount Dagger.[3]
It was named for Jedi Master Yoda after the scholar Arhul Hextrophon suggested it to Rebel forces.[2] The New Republic set up a Defense Research and Planetary Assistance Center (also known as DRAPAC) on the mountain in 5 ABY.[2]
