Yelsain
this forest world is found in the Yelsain System of the Minos Cluster. It was a large planet, although it lacked heavy metals in its composition. This resulted in a lower than normal gravity despite its size. The tress of the forests are immense, with older specimens measuring 400 meters in height. The original settlers were forced to battle the creatures which lived in the trees, and their exploits became the subject of a number of holo-vids produced on nearby Adarlon. The trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen at incredible rates, which means the oxygen content of its atmosphere is quite high. This leads to intense weather patterns, with nightly thunderstorms sweeping across the surface. Yelsain's inhabitants are rural by galactic standards, although their colleges and universities are second to none. They live and work in sprawling cities built in the trees. The natives of the planet were fiercely loyal to the Old Republic, as a result of the Republic's support of the settlement there. Many Jedi Knights claimed Yelsain as their home, and it was rumored that many Jedi hid there during Emperor Palpatine's purge. The planet has a day which lasts 24 standard hours, and a year which lasts 249 local days. (GG6)

Yen-2
located in the Verde System, this planetoid was the site of a mining colony which was forced to pay "protection money" to the crimelord Sprax during the Galactic Civil War. The site's owner, Neil Barani, decided not to pay when he discovered a vein of doonium in the mines, and offered it for sale to the Empire. Unfortunately, his actions forced Sprax to retaliate, and the Nalroni dispatched Limna Yith to force Barani to pay his dues. When Barani refused, Yith used her starship's weapons to severely damaged the outpost on Yen-2, rendering most of its life-support and power systems inoperable. Much more of the outpost was destroyed by Bel Att's mercenaries, after learning of their leader's death at the hands of Limna Yith. The colony was abandoned, by Neil Barani remained behind to hide from reprisals from either the Empire or Black Sun, or both. (SSR)

Yeoman Scrapheap
this military protocol droid was stationed aboard the Mandian, serving as Captain Dondo Foth's personal assistant durnig the height of the Clone Wars. The droid's name came from the unusual markings it received from the crew, who had painted a first-class yeoman's chevrons on its forehead. Although Yeoman Scrapheap was invaluable for maintaining Foth's schedule of military duties, certain programming glitches often got on the Captain's nerves, and Foth often threatened to stow the droid in the Lucky Bag. (JT)

this vermin could be found on a variety of artificial worlds such as space stations and large starships, or even on urbanized planets. Measuring up to 60 centimeters in height, the quadripedal yeomets can consume almost any material, and they sought out food with incredible tenacity. Their ability to dig through almost anything makes them a pest and a nuisance, especially on space-going vessels. The yeomets are also known to carry a variety of diseases. They are timid when first encountered, but will attack if necessary. Their teeth are not sharp, but their jaws are incredibly strong and can inflict blunt trauma in addition to passing on whatever diseases they carried. They sleep in huge piles, with pregnant females always on the bottom to assist in labor and delivery. (COG)

Yerkys ne Dago
this well-muscled Twi'lek crimelord managed to avoid be enslaved as a youth by allying himself with a band of smugglers and pirates. This association got him off Ryloth, and gave him the chance to master his leadership skills as he soon took control of the band. He eventually found himself in the Minos Cluster, where he set up a base of operations on Shesharile 5. He quickly set up shop as a crimelord, offering good rates on loans to lure people into his web. Since his initial entry into the Minos Cluster, Yerkys ne Dago has risen to become one of the system, quickly taking control of the Minos Cluster's underworld. He has an annoying habit (to humans, anyway), of using his headtails to express his feelings.

Yevetha
a humanoid alien race which resembled animated skeletons, the Yevetha originally came from the planet N'zoth. Their facial structure was highly colored, with a white nasal ridge and scarlet cheek and chin ridges surrounding dark black eyes. The Yevetha had six clawed fingers on each hand, and a wicked dewclaw could be extended from their wrists. It was believed that the Yevetha achieved sentience some 50,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. Having evolved in the Koornacht Cluster and never seeing other stars beyond their own, the Yevetha became a very self-important race, considering themselves the masters of their universe. All other races were simply vermin. The Yevetha had a hierarchical society, with the males being dominant. There were castes of males and females, and the higher classes alway dominated the lower. Lower-ranking Yevethan males were required to bear their necks in deferrence to their superiors. Yevetha were also extrememly quick to learn new things, and were particularly adept at assimilating technology. They never eat in mixed company, and detested the smell and feel of other races. They installed specialized bathing stations on their embassy ships, to wash away the scent of other races. The Yevetha had moved beyond N'zoth and either conquered of populated the nearest worlds when the Empire subjugated them and used the Koornacht Cluster as a base of operations for the Black Sword Command. Under the guidance of Nil Spaar, the Yevetha overthrew the Imperials following the Galactic Civil War, and created plans to purge the Koornacht Cluster - and eventually the galaxy - of non-Yevethans. This plan became known as the Great Purge, and was initiated about twelve years after their defeat of the Empire. The New Republic eventually put a halt to the Yevethan aggression, and the Yevetha were forced to retreat to N'zoth. They remained a formidable threat, however, so much so that the Yuuzhan Vong traded a momentary freedom to the Fia in exchange for information on the Yevethan military. The Fia, who had been among the many races plagued by the Yevetha, were only too eager to agree. In an attempt to eliminate any threat along its rearward borders, the Yuuzhan Vong utterly destroyed the Yevethan homeworld of N'zoth, killing every last Yevethan individual and wiping the Yevethan civilization from the galaxy. (BTS, SOL, FH1, CCW)

Ygabba
this young girl was ostensibly the leader of the group of children who were captured by, and forced to work for, Gilramos Libkath, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Ygabba herself had been taken some five years before the Battle of Geonosis. Libkath forced the children to perform a number of criminal activities or suffer his wrath, such as stealing weapons from Jabba the Hutt and disrupting the activities of the Separatists in Mos Espa. It was Ygabba who befriended young Boba Fett in the months following the Battle of Geonosis, when Fett arrived on Tatooine to seek information from Jabba the Hutt. After Boba Fett helped Ygabba and the children escape from Libkath, they returned to Jabba's palace to claim the bounty on the Neimoidian. It was there that Ygabba was reunited with her father, the chef Gab'borah. Ygabba chose to remain with her father, cooking all manner of dishes for Jabba and his retainers. Just before Boba set off to capture Wat Tambor, Ygabba and Gab'borah presented Boba with a full suit of Mandalorian armor, tailored to his specific form. Ygabba also presented him with her own gift, a holoshroud she had encoded with an image of Durge. (BF4, BF5)

YI-5
this series of droids was produced for use in surveillance and forensic investigations, during the height of the New Order. Most of the YI-5 droids that were produced went to the Imperial Security Bureau. The YI-5 proved its worth almost immediately, when one of the first droids used by the ISB caught the actions of Vune Willic on a variety of media, which were later used in presenting evidence at Willic's courtmartial trial. The YI-5 was a small, insect-like droid that was shaped like a flattened oval. A miniature holocamera and two sensor eyes - one red, for heat signatures; and one blue, for light signatures - sat atop the body. Four sockets for mounting a set of manipulator arms were located on the belly, and a unique stealth field package gave the YI-5 a form of shielding that altered its coloration to match it surroundings. When Ysanne Isard first saw the YI-5 in action, she believed that the two sensor eyes were colored red and blue as a subtle jab at her own eye color. Only the effectiveness of the YI-5 in bringing Vune Willic to justice, along with the assurances of the Empire's own engineers, persuaded her to rescind the termination orders against the designers. (PH)

Yibikkoror

Their large skulls contained immense brains which were flash-imprinted by DarkStryder with a wide variety of skills and loyalty to himself. However, despite the amount of brain matter they possessed, the Yimi were unable to learn new things. DarkStryder created the Yimi as twisted versions of the ancient Kathol race, as a cruel joke on his own creators. (E)

A graduate of the Lunis-Medix Medical Academy on Dzass IV, he was known to be loyal only to himself, and dealt with both the Alliance and the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. He was also extremely rich and powerful, and was skilled at making a person feel at ease while negotiating with them, thereby getting them to drop their guard. Despite the criminal dealings of Vector Technologies, Yoin Vocta never resorted to bribery or violence to get his way. He earned the respect and loyalty of his employees by treating them fairly and paying them well, ensuring his own base of power. He spent a great deal of his early career on Tatooine, and developed a great love for the desert. He also developed a network of informants, and was known to keep regular tabs on Jabba the Hutt.

Yinchorr
the surface of this planet, the primary world in the Yinchorri System, was covered with rocky deserts. Leia Organa was betrayed by an Alderaanian stormtrooper on this planet, shortly before the Battle of Endor. She had been shot down during her arrival at the planet, having been betrayed by a group of Yinchorri delegates. The Imperials believed that Leia died in the crash, but the stormtrooper found her at the crashsite. He revealed that he was an Alderaanian commoner who joined the Empire because he was disgruntled with the prosperity of the royal family. Despite his anger, the stormtrooper eventually forged a bond with Leia, which was broken when he was shot and killed by Governor Wessel during Leia's escape from Yinchorr. A few months later, Yinchorr was "cleansed" of its original inhabitants by the Empire, in order to make way for a training facility for Emperor Palpatine's elite Royal Imperial Guard. The planet was abandoned after Carnor Jax destroyed the Royal Imperial Guard facility there, shortly after the death of Emperor Palpatine's clones at Byss. Note that Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 85, indicates that the Yinchorr training facility was established by the Empire well before the onset of the Galactic Civil War. The magazine also indicates that the planet is located in the Mid Rim. (CE, AOW, MC86, LTA6, SWI85)

Yinchorri
this race of tortoise-like humanoids was native to the planet Yinchorr, and was known for their immunity to the manipulations of the Force. As a race, they were first admitted to the Old Republic shortly before the Battle of Naboo. The Yinchorri society was broken into the Intelligentsia and a warrior caste, and the Yinchorri were thought of as technophiles by the Old Republic. The Yinchorri were quick to pick up and use any form of technology, including starships and weapons, and quickly learn how to subjugate their neighbors. They also discovered the usefulness of cortosis armor, when they leanred that it was capable of stopping a lightsaber. The Yinchorri developed a form of military transportation based on the wings of insects, with a powerpack which strapped to their backs and six thin wings for propulsion. Unfortunately for the Yinchorri, they were not exceptionally intelligent, and were drawn into the machincations of Darth Sidious, who used their aggressiveness to begin attacking Republic outposts and, later, the Jedi Knights themselves. After an attack on Mayvitch 7, the Jedi Knights were called in to put an end to the Yinchorri conquests. Only after taking many losses were the Jedi able to quell the Yinchorri by destroying their base on Uhanayih and forcing the Yinchorri to surrender. After the rise of Emperor Palpatine, the Yinchorri were nearly wiped from the planet during the Imperial retaliation for their rebellion. The Empire then established a training facility on Yinchorr for the Royal Imperial Guards. Unknown to the Empire, several small clusters of Yinchorri managed to survive their extermination. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, they took control of the former Imperial training facility and used it as their governmental seat of power. They chose to remain independent from the New Republic.

YKL37R
this was the MandalMotors model number of the M3-A Scyk starfighter. Note that this designation is similar to that of the YKL-37R Nova Cruiser, introduced by the Star Wars Galaxies game, although the two ships are vastly different. (LAWS, SWGAL)

YKL-37R Nova Courier
this light transport was developed by Gallofree Yards, Incorporated, as an answer to the YT-series of freighters that were produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The hope was that the YKL-37R Nova Courier would rekindle sales for Gallofree, after their medium transport was plagued with repairs and reliability issues. The YKL-37R Nova Courier was a flat, oval-shaped craft with a pair of cargo pods mounted to the sides with heavy struts. The front of each pod was given a weapon emplacement, allowing a variety of armament configurations. The rear of the vessel was dominated by three large sublight drives. Although Gallofree went bankrupt shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Alliance bought up large numbers of their medium transports as well as the YKL-37R Nova Courier. The YKL-37R became known for its maneuverability, especially among asteroids to avoid pursuit and in fighting off Imperial TIE Fighters. Many other YKL-37R Nova Couriers found their way into the hands of smugglers. (SWGAL)

Ylan Ghalir
this Mon Calamari was the original designer of the Leviathan suit of power armor. He was captured by Imperial forces during the Galactic Civil War, but was quickly rescued by Alliance forces. (SWJ3)

Ylenic It'kla
this Caamasi was one of the few members of his species to become a Jedi Knight. A golden-furred humanoid with purple facial stripes, Ylenic was assigned to work with Aayla Secura in recovering Ratri Tane from Corellia. There, Ylenic worked with his old friend, Nejaa Halcyon, to ensure that Aayla's mission was a success, despite the mysterious circumstances under which it was carried out. Shortly after the Clone Wars, Ylenic and Nejaa were dispatched to stop Nikkos Tyris, who had stumbled upon ancient Sith lore. Although the Jedi succeeded in eliminating the Sith threat, Nejaa was killed in the struggle. Ylenic then flew to Corellia to deliver Nejaa's personal belongings to his widow, Scerra. Years later, he served as one of Bail Organa's chief advisors during the early years of the New Order. Ylenic was part of the Alderaanian delegation which travelled to Cloud City to meet with Bria Tharen. Unfortunately for thr Caamasi, Ylenic was on Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star. It'kla died in the blast. (RD, IJ, SWI66, PJSB)

Ylesia
this planet was covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents. The northern continent was located near the north pole, while the other two were located along the equator. The weather patterns on Ylesia were marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there. These patterns were due mainly to the planet's swift rotation, which results in a ten-hour day. Much of the land is hidden under shallow, brackish water, resulting in swampy areas which abound with a strange fungus that thrives on fresh blood. The Hutts and t'landa Til set up a huge glitterstim processing plant on this world, using the front of a religious colony to obtain slave labor. An orbiting space station was positioned over Colony One, and was the primary debarkation point for new pilgrims and outgoing slaves. Bria Tharen and her Alliance crew often attacked slave ships leaving the space station. The planet eventually supported nine of the "religious" colonies before the Hutts started thinking about populating another world. During the era of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ylesia became a hotbed of activity and support for the Peace Brigade, and later served as the Peace Brigade's base of operations. To ensure that the Peace Brigade was free to act, the Yuuzhan Vong executed every Hutt it could find on Ylesia, but maintained the glitterstim mining operations as a way to fund the activities of the Peace Brigade. About four years into the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the New Republic launched an all-out assault on Ylesia, managing to defeat the alien invaders and retake Ylesia. (TPS, RD, BP, EVR, Y, UF)

Ylesian Dream
Han Solo stowed away aboard this automated barge when it was docked to the Trader's Luck. He managed to get the ship to Ylesia with the help of its R2-series pilot. Later, after being hired by Teroenza as a pilot, he used the Dream to train and perform routine transport runs. Han tried to train Muuurgh as a gunner, but had relatively poor luck. The Dream was hyperdrive-equipped. They were flying a shipment of glitterstim in it when they were attacked by pirates and forced to stop over on Alderaan. There, Han obtained medical help help for Muuurgh while attempting to sell some of the spice. Later, when Han and Bria tried to escape from Ylesia, Jalus Nebl flew the Dream in between the Helot's Shackle and broke a tractor beam lock, allowing them to escape. Nebl took the Dream and fled into hyperspace. He later joined the Alliance, and renamed the ship Dream of Freedom. (TPS, RD)

this was the name of the governing body of the planet Ylesia, after it had been taken over by the Peace Brigade. Originally known as the Alliance of Twelve, the Senate was composed of some sixty members at its height. Despite the name "Senate", the group was made up of a wide variety of criminals and renegades who were constantly fighting over their own agendas. Thrackan Sal-Solo, after being named President of Ylesia and Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade by Supreme Overlord Shimrra, took control of the Senate in an effort to focus the activities of the Peace Brigade. The Senate, however, didn't like the fact that they had to answer to Sal-Solo, and formed a temporary alliance to bring about his downfall. The Senate, when combined with Sal-Solo as President, formed the so-called Ylesian Republic. (Y)
