Yavin Prime

Yavin Prime,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also known simply as Yavin, was an orange gas giant, nearly 200,000 kilometers in diameter, located in the Outer Rim Territories. Its clouds provided cover in battle, but death awaited any pilot who dove too far.Star Wars: Squadrons
It was orbited by twenty-six moons, three of which could sustain humanoid life, including Yavin 4, Yavin 8, and Yavin 13. One of those moons, Yavin 4, was once home to the ancient Massassi warriors and was used by the Rebel Alliance.
The primary hyperlane used to reach Yavin was the Hydian Way; its trace hyperlanes included the Pinooran Spur, the Junction-Tierell Loop, and the Yavin Bypass.Star Wars: The Rebel Files
==History==
In the year 0 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas the Millennium Falcon orbited the gas giant to reach Yavin 4, where the headquarters for the Alliance to Restore the Republic were located. Later, Yavin 4 was almost destroyed by the Death Star, a planet-killing battle station designed by the Galactic Empire, but the Death Star was destroyed by Luke Skywalker.
Four years after the destruction of Alderaan, Captain Wedge Antilles and Vanguard Squadron were sent on a mission to Yavin Prime, to steal the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Victorum, which was already in an engagement with Talus Group. The Star Destroyer was needed for the New Republic's secret Project Starhawk.
