Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The battle of Yn was a conflict between the Sith Empire and armies of Jedi and rebels, who faced the Sith Lord Tulak Hord. During Hord's campaigns on the planet Yn and the Jedi-held world of Chabosh, he rejected the Sith Lord Aloysius Kallig's offer to battle beside him. After Kallig killed Hord's right-hand general, Hord let the other Sith lead his forces in multiple victories.

When the Jedi attacked a Sith stronghold on Yn around 5300 BBY, Tulak Hord, his apprentice, Ortan Cela, and their Dashade Shadow Killers, Khem Val and Veshikk Urk, led an army of dark side warriors to break the Jedi siege, eliminating them and the rebels who opposed the expansion of the Sith Empire. Urk and Val feasted on the Force potential of their enemies, and Tulak Hord used a ritual to draw the strength of his enemies to himself in order to gain power and vitality. After winning the battle, Hord led his armies to take Chabosh as well.

Khem Val recounted Tulak Hord and his conquest of Yn and Chabosh fondly to the Sith Inquisitor he served, Kallig's descendant, around 3643 BBY, occasionally referring to both himself and Hord as the "conqueror of Yn and Chabosh."
