Ylesia was a tropical world located in Hutt Space. It was controlled by the Besadii Hutts. The planet was used as a slave colony dedicated to spice production covered up as a religious retreat.

Description

Reeks, one of the native species

Ylesia was a tropical world consisting of three small continents.[4]

Ylesia was the homeworld of the nonsentient reek, an ungulate species raised on ranches on the planet and its Codian Moon. The creatures were exported to numerous worlds, including Ithor, Iridonia, and Geonosis, resulting in various breeds used for a wide array of purposes.

History

Rebellion Era

In 10 BBY, the Besadii Hutts controlled the planet and purported it to be a religious retreat, but it was in fact a scheme to trap willing slaves in order to process spice. The Besadii would use male t'landa Til to produce what they called the Exultation, a contrived religious ceremony that would grip most sentients in a powerful and addictive pleasure.[4]

Han Solo witnessing slaves enthralled by the Exultation on Ylesia

The t'landa Til of Ylesia would go on "missionary" journeys, giving the Exultation to crowds. This taste of the Exultation was often enough to ensnare those who were looking for something more to life. Workers were tricked to the planet, becoming "pilgrims" of the "Cult of The One and The All." The pilgrims were then exploited as slaves in the planet's numerous spice-processing factories. One such victim was Bria Tharen. During this period, the planet was ruled by High Priest Teroenza, the leader of the cult. Han Solo's first piloting job was on Ylesia.[4]

During the following years, the fledgling Rebel Alliance mounted several more or less successful attacks on the planet, disrupting the spice production and reducing profits but generally causing little lasting damage.[5] In 0 BBY, however, a Rebel and smuggler raid, led by Han Solo and Bria Tharen, succeeded in shutting down the factories, at least temporarily, and freeing the slaves, and Teroenza was killed.[6]

Behind the scenes

The Paradise Snare states that Ylesia had no moon; however, The New Essential Guide to Alien Species states that the Codian Moon was a moon of Ylesia. The Essential Atlas presumably places the Codian Moon in the Codia system on the opposite side of the galaxy.
