The Yavin System consists of a monstrous orange gas giant surrounded by several moons, including the jungle planet of Yavin 4. Far from the Galactic Core and major hyperspace lanes, the system does not appear on many astrogation charts. Formed over 7.5 billion years ago, the system was first surveyed during the Old Republic's Expansion Era, and was originally recorded as unfit for human habitation. However, the ancient Sith eventually colonized Yavin 4. The system later became the site of the Battle of Yavin, during which several brave Rebel pilots destroyed the first Death Star battle station.
