Yavin 4 Decorations Collection

Yavin 4 Decorations Collection

More than two dozen moons orbit the Outer Rim gas giant Yavin. Of those moons, the one designated Yavin 4 is by far the most habitable, supporting a vast array of flora and fauna within its lush and endless jungles. Yavin 4 also holds a great deal of interest to the Jedi and the Sith. For well over a thousand years now, the dark side of the Force has flowed through Yavin 4 in an ever-increasing magnitude. But those who visit the moon’s deadly rainforests and swamps in search of an explanation for the phenomenon rarely return, and never with any answers.

Yavin 4’s savage beauty is reflected in its ancient ruins and flora, which can be brought into your stronghold in a variety of ways.

Yavin 4 Statues and Sculptures

Yavin 4 is the planet where Exar Kun fully embraced the dark side, and the final resting place of the Naga Sadow. Their marks have been left on the planet’s surface in the form of degenerating temples, artifacts and statues. The largest is the combat arena, which can only be placed on a starship hook (not available on Dromund Kaas and Coruscant).

Yavin Temple Metalwork Decorations

Also left behind in the hidden temples of Yavin are decorations which are light enough to pilfer from their former owners and place around your stronghold.

Yavin Plants and Trees

While exploring the planet of Yavin 4 you will notice most of the surface is overgrown with lush jungles, only just held back by the stone temple floors. An entire selection is actually present in the large tree plot decoration.

More Plants and Trees

If you can’t get your hands on authentic imported Yavin 4 plants, try these which can be found across the galaxy and in your own backyard.

Massassi Decorations

This docile personnel is guaranteed not to savage you or your guests, however it is suggested you keep your pet at least one hook away form your new Massassi. We also recommend giving him a proper home, water and a place to hang his heads at the end of the day.

Revanite Decorations

Show your devotion to Revan in all his forms with decorations from both Yavin 4 and Dromund Kaas.

Miscellaneous Yavin 4 Decoration

Unfortunately if you don’t already have the 3rd Anniversary Decoration or Shadow of Revan Poster, it is retired forever!

Yavin 4 Stronghold

Yavin 4 Stronghold

Lost for centuries under the towering treetops of Yavin 4, this temple is the perfect retreat far, far away from the troubles of the Galaxy. Will your Yavin 4 Temple be a retreat to contemplate the light side of the Force or a sanctuary to gather your strength in the dark side? Will you decorate your temple with the spoils of the galaxy or turn it into your hidden base of operations for your next conquest? The choice is yours!

Yavin 4 Temple

Those that explore off the beaten path may find a few additional surprises. The Yavin 4 Stronghold Temple is based on Revan’s ‘Temple of Sacrifice’ on Yavin 4, which you can see during your storyline during the Shadow of Revan expansion storyline. It is the fifth stronghold added to the game.

Yavin 4 Stronghold

As a designer on the original Strongholds release, I’m especially jazzed about the Yavin 4 Temple Stronghold. The Cartel Market Design team along with two of our extremely talented studio artists have put together a beautiful, immersive new space for you to explore, decorate and make a part of your unique Star Wars story. This undiscovered temple has 16 centerpiece hooks, 2 starship hooks, more than any other stronghold currently in the game [at the time], and hundreds of the standard hooks you’d expect, offering countless decorating possibilities. We’ve also added more hooks in the environment and on the temple exterior. [..] – Toby McCall, Cartel Market Design, 2015, Update 3.3

Zakuul Decorations

Home to the Eternal Throne and defended by the Eternal Fleet, Zakuul has become the new superpower in the galaxy. An old civilization reshaped by Emperor Valkorion, Zakuul is technologically advanced, relying mainly on droid labor, with seemingly unlimited resources. Much of Zakuul’s wealth, gained form the Sith Empire, is channeled directly into Zakuul–expansion of the Eternal Fleet, lavish updates to the Spire, and generous gifts to the citizens.

Zakuul decorations were introduced to Star Wars: The Old Republic with the 4.0 patch called Knights of the Eternal Throne, and have continued to come out with the 5.0 patch of Knights of the Eternal Empire. They are a mix of technical decorations from Zakuul’s army, and luxury decorations ftom Zakuul’s many palaces and rich citizens.

Zakuul Luxury Decorations

The citizens of Zakuul have been lavished with wealth, and that pampered wealth can be seen in their cities and palaces that you visit in the level 60+ story chapters. Most of these decorations come from Cartel Packs. Zakuul’s city is high in the air and bereft of soil, but there are some plants growing far below on the swampy surface.

Zakuul Knights Decorations

Officially considered protectors of the people, Knights hunt down corruption in the Eternal Empire. In actuality, they are enforcers of the Emperor’s will and fanatical in their adoration for Valkorion and his family. Zakuul Knights don’t limit themselves to studying one side of the Force, instead teaching balance and exploration.

Zakuul Technology, Skytrooper and Military Decorations

Zakuul’s military is far different than any other force in the galaxy – it is funded by the wealth of Zakuul, and this wealth allowed the royal family of Zakuul to invest into technology for their empire. Many of these decorations can be gained as random drops from the Star Fortress flashpoints, which you can do after Chapter 9 of Knights of the Fallen Empire.

After Arcann’s successful campaign through Republic and Imperial space, he deployed massive battle stations orbiting the planets he most wanted under his control. These Star Fortresses are powered by Sun Generators capable of venting their excess plasma onto the planet below. The threat of instant devastation holds the world populations hostage and serves as a warning to any who might attack the fortress.
