Star Chart: Yavin System


Serving the Moon Yavin 4

Hostile targets in this area are Tiers 2-4

Yavin 4 is a jungle moon orbiting the gas giant of Yavin and the only moon that can sustain life. The famous "Battle of Yavin" occurred on Yavin 4, which became the first major victory of the Rebel Alliance.

Since that time, a heavy Imperial presence has been maintained. Travelers and miners are advised to have all their clearances and identification.

*** Restricted Space: The Empire has restricted Yavin 4 space to Imperial traffic. All other traffic is prohibited from the area.

When the Death Star was finally destroyed, news of its defeat spread like wildfire. It brought many visitors, including the Ni'lyahin Smugglers, hoping to scrounge together pieces from the explosion and sell it on the black market. Today, they prosper, fighting their own war against the Empire and their oppression.

Lending the quadrant its name, the Ferrous Aurora nebula extends its welcome in an array of radiant, incandescent colors. It is wise not to be fooled by its beauty as the Ni'lyahin Smugglers have claimed it as their own.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the Crimson Flare quadrant. It is unwise to travel here; use extreme caution.

Caution: Rebel Spies spotted in the area. Imperial pilots should apprehend on sight.

The Ferrous Aurora Nebula, named by the Ni`lyahin Smugglers, is home to the hostile band of thieves and assassins. Apart from the dazzling colors, the areas surrounding the nebula prove to be dangerous as a war brews just beyond its brink. The nebula's inhabitants originate from Yavin4, having gained space travel later than most and only by stealing technology. Currently, they own half of Yavin4's space quadrants, successfully destroying large parts of the Empire's defenses and holding fast with their own brutal forces.

Named after the Nebulon 7, the Rebel territory in Yavin4's space is highly saturated with YKL-37Rs, what the Rebels fondly call the "Nova Courier". Little else is known about the area, secrets which the Rebel Alliance hold dear.

Warning! "Maniac" sighted in this area!

Rypock Egrisaoco has been sighted in this area. Imperial pilots should apprehend on sight.

The Nova 3, a long-time destroyed Rebel space station, rots in Yavin 4's war-ridden system, surrounded by Imperial defenders stricken to extinguish both the Rebellion and the Ni`lyahin Smugglers from existence. Unfortunately, the area lies in ruin, heavy fire from all sides splitting ship and asteroid alike.

The Black Magnum has been spotted in Yavin 4 space. Imperial pilots should apprehend on sight.

Shadow of the Alliance Nebula -960, -2500,

N/A Rebel Gunboat, Corellian Corvette, Rebel Raider Captain 5+

Heavy Alliance forces sighted in this area. Any available pilots should proceed to this location and transmit all findings to your local Imperial command.

The Shadow of the Alliance provides the Resistance with a cloak of tumultuous energy. Struggling to survive, the Rebels hide the Shadow of the Alliance nebula in hopes of dodging the attacks launched by the Empire. Thankfully, all of the Empire's efforts seem to be focused on the Ni`lyahin Smugglers. It seems as if the Emperor and his fleets are too distracted to deal with the nuisance of the Alliance.

A simple mining station, harboring peacekeeping individuals who gather together in essence to keep the peace in Yavin 4's system and serve as a shining example to those looking upon them. Although armed with advanced weapon systems, the many factions living within the Lodestar Utopia thrive to keep their pilots' fingers off the trigger. Sometimes, gentle ideals must be ignored..
