Planetary record
Yavin 4
Yavin-4 is a small moon of the gas giant Yavin, far from major hyperlanes and lacking in any notable resources. Densely forested and dotted with ancient ruins, the remote moon has been a location of interest only to archaeologists.

The galaxy map builds its planets in a shader rather than shipping a picture of each one. This marble uses Yavin 4's own surface material: its land and sea gradients, its temperature, its sea level and its tint colours. The continents are generated, because the game generates those too.
Yavin 4 is a jungle moon orbiting a red gas giant, and its Massassi temples were standing long before the Rebel Alliance moved into them. That base is what the moon is remembered for. Wetyin's Colony is the only settlement of any size.
