Yavin, seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, is an orange gas giant. Its core is composed of metallic substances and pieces of carbon and metallic hydrogen that form corusca gems. Although mining these gems is a promising venture, Yavin is mostly known for its moon of Yavin IV. The Super Star Destroyer Knight Hammer was destroyed here after it was diverted towards the planet's core after a collision with a rebel vessel.
Moons
In the Expanded Universe, Yavin has four other habitable moons.
Yavin IV, the site of the Rebel Alliance's main base until the Battle of Yavin. It also contained the Massassi Temples and for a time the Sun Crusher.
Yavin 8, a moon consisting mostly of tundra and some species.
Yavin 13, a hot desert moon populated by Gerbs and Sliths.
