Jewel of Yavin

The Jewel of Yavin was a dazzling^[1] blue^[2] corusca gem. During the Imperial Era, the gem was auctioned off on the planet Naboo, where the galaxy's elite gathered to bid on it. As the gem had been previously stolen, the security at the auction was tight,^[1] including security guards, an alarm, and an automated defense system. The jewel shared its name with^[3] the planet Yavin Prime and its moon Yavin 4 in the Yavin system.^[4]

An individual found a path through the most dangerous parts of the city on Naboo where the auction was being held and then bypassed a group of local criminals and the gem's security and defense system in order to steal it,^[3] making 15,000 credits profit from the job.^[1]
