Yunkor IX was an astronomical object[3] in the Yunkor system,[1] a part of the Jjannex sector[2] in the Western Reaches portion of the Outer Rim Territories.[1] During the reign of the Galactic Empire, a TIE staging area was located near the astronomical object. It was used to resupply battle-depleted Imperial forces and nearby capital ships.[3]

At some point between 1 ABY and 2 ABY,[4] Lieutenant Keyan Farlander, a rebel pilot, was dispatched to the staging area in a B-wing starfighter in order to destroy the cargo containers and parked TIE starfighters there. Farlander destroyed all of his targets before jumping into hyperspace.[3]

Behind the scenes

Yunkor IX was first mentioned in the Tour of Duty: B-Wing expansion to Totally Games' video game Star Wars: X-Wing, both released in 1993.[5] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Yunkor system, and therefore Yunkor IX, in grid square K-19.[1]

Thus, Operation Ram's Head must take place between 1 ABY and 2 ABY. As Star Wars: X-Wing Tour of Duty: B-Wing takes place afterward and before the Rebel Alliance established Echo Base on Hoth, which The New Essential Chronology places between 2 ABY and 3 ABY, the events of the game, including the attack on a TIE staging area, must take place between 1 ABY at the earliest and 2 ABY at the latest.
