Yavin 4 is a remote jungle moon of the gas giant planet Yavin. It was first seen in the film Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, where a Rebel base was located and where a large space battle between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance took place, which resulted in the destruction of the Death Star.
Overview
Yavin 4 is the fourth moon of the planet Yavin. Most of the surface is covered with jungles, which hide the very many ruins of the now extinct Massassi species. These were built to worship their gods and during certain periods - the Sith lords, believed to be the deities in the flesh. Almost 4 thousand years before the rise of the Empire, the planet was visited by a fallen Jedi Exar Kun, who turned against the Jedi and the Republic. As he became a Sith, the Jedi decided to destroy his armies and launched an attack on Yavin 4, eventually destroying all the Massassi and most of the structures and forests. Exar Kun however survived the attack, placing himself into deep stasis. It is believed his spirit to have lived up to the days of the New Republic.
During the reign of the Emperor, the Rebel Alliance used the old ruins for their secret base. The location was found however by the Imperials after Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and their friends escaped from the Death Star on a Millennium Falcon. A tracking device showed the coordinates and the Empire sent the Death Star to the system to destroy the Rebels. However in the upcoming battle the Rebel fleet succeeded in destroying the Death Star and later leaving Yavin 4 due to the soon arrival of the new Imperial forces.
After the Battle of Endor, Luke selects the old rebel base as a training academy for the next generation of Jedi.
