Yag - prime Yag - prime was an " Empress " - class space station orbiting the Givin homeworld Yag ' Dhul . It played a crucial role in many battles which includes the Bacta War and the Battle of Yag ' dhul . Construction . The station had a central disk with thick expanses of living quarters above and below . Multiple thin towers rose from the middle of the disk , which made the station look like it had been impaled on spears . Three wedge - shaped causeways for launch - and - recovery purposes stabbed out into space from the central disk . Due to construction costs space was a very premium commodity . Refresher stations and dining facilities were communal . While there were private rooms for dinner meetings , all of the food was prepared in a central galley and delivered to the half - dozen dining facilities on the base . Those same rooms also served as lounges and recreation facilities . The internal corridors were strikingly small , designed to make it easier to defend against a stormtrooper assault . It is not known if this feature was common to all " Empress " - class stations , or if the design was also constructed by groups outside the Rebellion . There were twenty - five living levels above the docking facility and twenty - five below . The main docking area contained ten levels with the middle six dealing with cargo transfer and storage while the outer two on each side contain crew housing , small shops and the tapcafes Hyperspace and Flarestar . History . Warlord Zsinj . By 6 ABY , however , Yag - prime had been seized by the forces of Warlord Zsinj , although the running of the station was in the hands of a Twi ' lek merchant named Valsil Torr . Zsinj used the station to store a large quantity of bacta which had been seized from a New Republic convoy , but the New Republic was notified by Qlaern Hirf of the Ashern . Rogue Squadron and Defender Wing soon arrived with a group of assault shuttles and freighters where they successfully took control of the station and recovered the bacta after a short battle . The damage to the space station was repaired by Givin , as they can survive in vacuum . The Bacta War . Yag - prime played a prominent role in the Bacta War . After resigning their commissions , Wedge Antilles and the rest of Rogue Squadron were looking for an appropriate base of operations in their fight against Ysanne Isard . Pash Cracken , a former member of the squadron , was tasked to render the station inhabitable in order to prevent Zsinj from using it again . Instead , he falsely reported the station as destroyed to his superiors . Shortly after the Rogues then moved in . Under Booster Terrik . After the " Pulsar Skate " returned after its mission to recover the remaining " Eidolon " materials on Tatooine , they brought along Booster Terrik to the delight of Antilles . He then offered to act as the station manager due to the promise of it not being boring and being pitted against Flirry Vorru in a war of trade and information . Terrik made many changes to the station , such as lowering the station temperature by an average of five degrees . He refused to heat unoccupied portions of the station thereby lowering its operating costs . By leaving the tapcafs and stores warmer to encourage the people in congregating and patronizing those establishments , he managed to make profits since the station ' s vendors were paying him a percentage of their own profits and were funneling all their supply needs through him . Shortly after advising Antilles of the folly of closing the station to outsiders , Terrik reopened the station to trade in order to generate capital for Antilles ' operation . His plan was to have people bring them information and equipment instead of having them go out and get it , and to develop suppliers who were in their debt because of the station . By doing this , he discouraged the people who frequented the station in betraying them to Isard . In accordance to the secret plans made with Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu , Booster Terrik made many modifications to the station . He purchased many proton torpedoes , Concussion Missile s and Targeting Sensors from Talon Karrde . The sensors were fitted into the Station while the torpedoes and missiles were fitted into a series of freighters ranging in size and including a Corellian Light Freighter . Defying " Lusankya " . Shortly before the decisive Battle of Thyferra , Isard ' s spy Melina Carniss was allowed to learn that the Rogues were based on Yag - prime . As Antilles intended , Isard sent her Star Destroyers " Lusankya " and " Virulence " to destroy the station . When Isard ' s ships arrived , Antilles ' small fleet jumped to hyperspace toward Thyferra . Terrik then caught " Lusankya " in Yag - prime ' s tractor beams and activated the gravity well projector , pinning it in place despite its attempts to break free by setting the engines to full reverse . After his offer of surrender was rejected by Captain Joak Drysso , Terrik then activated the torpedo targeting sensors , gaining over three - hundred locks upon " Lusankya " , enough to destroy the huge ship . In reality though , it was all an elaborate bluff orchestrated by Antilles . The station had no proton torpedoes , which were all aboard the small fleet of freighters that jumped with Antilles towards Thyferra . All the station had were the targeting locks . At this point Captain Lakwii Varrscha of " Virulence " quickly intervened , moving her ship into the path of the tractor beams and allowing " Lusankya " to escape , abandoning its TIE Fighter escort which were then destroyed when Pash Cracken ' s Ace Squadron was pulled out of hyperspace by the gravity well projector . Believing she had been caught in a New Republic trap , Varrscha surrendered to Terrik , who promptly took command of " Virulence " and took it to Thyferra , where it would play a crucial role in the battle . Shortly after the Bastion Accords were signed in 19 ABY , the station was ceded to the Givin Domain , who used it to defend the Yag ' Dhul shipyard complex , and stocked it with a unit of their own swift starfighters . Yuuzhan Vong War . During the Yuuzhan Vong War , Yag - prime was commanded by Dodecian Illiet . It was on Yag ' Dhul Station that the Rodian Jedi Kelbis Nu realized Nom Anor ' s true identity . He managed to escape the station but was killed by agents of the Peace Brigade on Eriadu . Shortly after , Anakin Solo , Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn arrived on the station aboard a commandeered Yuuzhan Vong scout ship , with a warning of impending invasion from the Yuuzhan Vong . They were interrogated by Dodecian Illiet and after a few hours , were set free when their warning of an invasion was proven true . While on their way to the storage lockers of Ring 1 - C to obtain vac suits , they were attacked by Yuuzhan Vong warriors and Nom Anor , who was wearing a ooglith masquer to pose as a Givin . A duel ensued between Anakin and Shok Choka when Anor declined Corran ' s challenge . Anakin was able to defeat Choka and the three escaped and managed to reach Docking Port 12 Berth 13 where a ship was waiting for them . It is not known whether the station survived the Battle of Yag ' Dhul Description . The station was a trade staple in the region for a long time , according to Booster Terrik . It was very compact to an average human and delicate , with the danger of suffering explosive decompression . Its walls were covered with fractal patterns and notation in some sort of script , presumably written by the Givins . Behind the scenes . Yag - Prime , as it is described in " " and depicted on the cover of the book , bears striking similarity to the design of space platforms in the video game " " , and may have been based on such stations .
