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

Yag'Dhul was a small world located in the Inner Rim at the intersection of the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade Spine. The complex interaction of orbits and rotations between Yag'Dhul and its three moons meant that the planet was continually beset by massive tidal forces powerful enough to pull the atmosphere into different regions, exposing large areas of the surface to hard vacuum.

It was the homeworld of the Givin, who evolved a sealable exoskeleton that allowed them to survive in vacuum. The desire to maximize advantages had led the Givin to switch alliances as variables changed, such as when they had allied themselves with the Separatists during the Clone Wars era and later with the New Republic.
