Yerbana

Yerbana was a terrestrial planet located in the Savareen sector's Yerbana system within the Outer Rim Territories. During the High Republic Era, in 230 BBY, the planet came to be located within the Occlusion Zone, the region of space controlled by the Nihil marauders surrounded by the impenetrable Stormwall barrier. While the world was in the Occlusion Zone, a Republic Defense Corps station near Yerbana was attacked by Nihil. In 228 BBY, the Stormwall fell, and the Nihil surrendered to the Republic, with worlds formerly within the Occlusion Zone being welcomed back into the Republic if they so chose.

In 19 BBY, during the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, a battle was fought on Yerbana between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Separatist Droid Army. The battle resulted in a Republic victory after Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his 501st Legion came to the aid of fellow Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and the 212th Attack Battalion. Skywalker defeated the Separatists by faking a surrender and drawing out the super tactical droid that was leading the droid forces, enabling the Republic to capture Yerbana. The HoloNet News anchor Dorna Parros reported a story of a KX-series security droid recovering stolen property from raiders on Yerbana in 3 ABY, and author Kitrin Braves briefly covered the Battle of Yerbana in her biography of the Skywalker family, titled Skywalker: A Family at War, no earlier than 35 ABY.
