Moon

Moons were astronomical objects that orbited planets. They were usually the size of dwarf planets, although some were in the same mass range as planets. Moons were commonly defined as being large enough for their gravity to crush them in into spherical shape. Moons smaller than this were usually termed moonlets.
Larger planets generally had larger moons, with gas giants having moons the size of terrestrial planets and smaller planets often having small moons or moonlets.
Objects that orbited brown dwarfs or stars were not considered moons, they were considered dwarf planets or planets.
== Noteable moons ==
Yavin 4 was perhaps the most famous moon, as it was the location of the Battle of Yavin, a major turning point in galactic history, and the basis of the Galactic Standard Calender.
Endor was a similarly famous moon, as it was the site of the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine.
