Moon

Yavin 4, a satellite, revolves around the gaseous planet Yavin.

A satellite, also known as a moon, was a natural celestial object that orbited another, larger celestial object, most often a planet. Planets could be accompanied by numerous moons in their orbit; Hoth and Iego, famously called the "Planet of a Thousand Moons," are perfect examples of this. It was even possible for a moon to possess its own orbiting satellites, as seen with Ajan Kloss. Moons, just like planets, exhibited a diverse range of surface environments, from desolate, rocky landscapes to vibrant forests, and were sometimes referred to as "worlds".

The potential for a moon to sustain life was comparable to that of the planet it circled, and some moons were indeed habitable. Consider the moons of Naboo, which once housed spice mines. The Rebel Alliance established a base on the fourth moon of the gas giant Yavin. The Forest Moon of Endor, along with the surrounding space, became the location for a pivotal conflict between the forces of the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.
