"Now, now, my comrades. You know how these victories can sometimes get distorted in the retelling—it was two squadrons at Yir Tangee."
―The Banshee of Bestine correcting his comrades[4]

Yir Tangee was a planet[5] in the Yir Tangee system[3] of the Colonies[1] and the Interior.[2] It was situated in grid square L-8 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The planet was the homeworld of two humans, the smuggler Astrid Fenris and Ace Squadron pilot Freya Fenris.[6] By 34 ABY,[7] the Battle of Yir Tangee occurred between First Order and New Republic forces, during which the Banshee of Bestine—a First Order pilot—destroyed two New Republic squadrons. Later, First Order troopers aboard the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Decimator discussed incorrect rumors of the Banshee of Bestine's victory over New Republic forces at Yir Tangee, with the pilot correcting their misinformation.[4]
