- "We came out ahead on the trade but mostly cuz Taurill are square with eating the backalley trash that Ratty-Ratty scraped up on Ylesia."

Ylesia was a terrestrial[4] planet[7] in the Outer Rim Territories section of Hutt Space[1] that, along with the Codian Moon, was the homeworld of the reek species.[5] It was located within the Hutt Space region of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and was connected to Teth and Rorak by hyperspace routes.[1] The former pirate queen Maz Kanata marked it as a point of interest on a map she included in the book that would become known as the Smuggler's Guide.[4]
