History
Dam with the cloaking device on planet Yalara
Yalara was originally inhabited by a primitive species of Yalarans that were not ready to become part of galactic society. To protect them, Jedi Master Broden Kel Verdox installed a cloaking device that masked the whole planet from the galaxy.[2]
Noghri were sent there, who wiped out the Yalarans defending the device.[2]
Battle of Yalara
In 14 ABY, Yalara was under the control of the Imperial Remnant. While allied with the Disciples of Ragnos, the Empire attempted to lay hands on the cloaking device. However, Jedi Scholar Tionne Solusar soon rediscovered the planet with her holocron, and, in order to thwart the Imperial plans, Jedi Knight Jaden Korr was sent to destroy the mechanism. After a short skirmish with Imperial Remnant, Jaden Korr managed ascend to the top of the tower, holding bombs to destroy the device. After a fight with many New Reborns and Noghri on the top, Jaden Korr manged to deploy four bombs around the device and successfully destroyed the cloaking device.[2]
Aftermath of the battle
After returning to the Jedi Academy, Skywalker suspected that Darth Vader, who used many Noghri as slaves and bodyguards, had ordered the Noghri to exterminate the Yalarans and guard the cloaking device. The remaining Noghri on Yalara were returned to Honoghr.
