The father, in his anger, attacked the boy’s mother. His father confronted his mother, who admitted to having an affair with the current ruling Sith Lord of the planet Nathema, Lord Dramath. His parent, who had no understanding of the Force grew suspicious of the boy. At the age of six, Tenebrae began to manifest signs of the Force. The story has it he was born with eyes as black as empty space itself, and no animal would approach him. The Sith Emperor was born into a farming family and was given the name Tenebrae. GemDiver Station was attacked by the forces of the Shadow Academy.ĭuring the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Yuuzhan Vong took Yavin along with the rest of the Yavin system in 26 ABY following the capture of the Jedi Praxeum.This seems to be the most logical place to start, when the current Sith Emperor was born. Lando Calrissian later established GemDiver Station in the giant's orbit, for the "fishing" of corusca gems. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Baron Orman Tagge constructed Achtnak Turbine Station, hidden within the gas giant, from which he launched TIE attacks on Massassi Station Achtnak was destroyed by Luke Skywalker. The Yavin system was conquered by the Rakata during the reign of their Infinite Empire, but later abandoned.Īfter the Great Sith War, Yavin Station orbited the planet and was used for corusca gem "fishing" until it blew apart in 3956 BBY and crashed on Yavin 22. However, the Sun Crusher's superstrong hull proved resistant to Yavin's dense atmosphere, and was quite space-worthy when later recovered by Kyp Durron. It was for these reasons that Yavin was chosen as the initial location for disposing of the Imperial Sun Crusher superweapon. The immense atmospheric pressure was also something to contend with, and could easily crush an unprotected ship.

It was believed these storms lasted all the way to the surface without letting up. Any craft that entered the atmosphere without benefit of a tracking beacon would quickly become lost, its pilot disoriented by the buffeting winds.

Yavin's atmosphere was made up of thick clouds swept about by violent, hurricane-force winds. Of its overall total of 26, Yavin had two other moons that were habitable Yavin 8 and Yavin 13. Yavin was best known for its moon, Yavin 4, which was the location of the Rebel Alliance's base prior its discovery and near destruction in the Battle of Yavin. It was located on the backward Gordian Reach, a hyperspace route from which the sector got its name.
