Yag'Dhul, the original planet of the Givin species who possessed sentient qualities, existed within the Inner Rim of the galaxy. The environment on this homeworld was incredibly severe, necessitating the Givin to protect their internal organs from the atmosphere, granting them the capability to endure brief periods in the absence of air, known as vacuum. Situated where the Corellian Trade Spine met the Rimma Trade Route, Yag'Dhul held a strategic position. In the time of the Separatist Crisis, it aligned itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Together with Sluis Van, Yag'Dhul formed a segment of southern Separatist planets, and Count Dooku tried, but failed, to bring Eriadu into this group.
