Legend

this young man served as a Lieutenant in Rendili's homeworld defense force during the height of the Clone Wars. He was adamantly loyal to Rendili, in seeming opposition to his commanding officer, Captain Jace Dallin. Dallin had served the Old Republic during the Stark Hyperspace War, and questioned his government's choice in joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Lieutenant Yago had no such division of loyalties, and engineered a mutiny aboard the Mersel Kebir when Dallin tried to turn his fleet of Dreadnaughts over to the Republic. He had Dallin and Jedi Master Plo Koon arrested and thrown into the brig, to be held as hostages until the Republic's forces withdrew from Rendili, or until Separatist reinforcements could arrive. However, when Saesee Tiin refused to leave Rendili, Yago threatened to kill Plo Koon and the other hostages. When the reinforcements arrived, the Republic's warships opened fire on them all, working to ensure that the Rendili fleet did not fall into the hands of the Separatists. Yago planned to try a linked hyperspace jump away from Rendili to escape, despite the problems encountered by the Katana and her fleet. After Anakin Skywalker disabled his flagship, Yago found himself face-to-face with Dallin and Koon once more, after they were freed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Yago attempted to fight his way free, but Dallin shot him dead before he could flee.
