The Jedi aren't the only ones living on Yavin IV and they certainly aren't the only ones defending it either. Chief among the scarce settlements is Wetyin's Colony and its inhabitants have recently banded together to form a reasonably competent fighting force with which to defend their homes. Marked by their signature golden jackets made of the local runyip leather and their diverse ranks, the Yavin Yellowjackets are ready to defend their home from encroaching invaders, aggressive fauna, and even the Jedi, should the need arise.

History

Wetyin's Colony used to be a ramshackle collection of motley huts and barns that were used by the early farmers that came to the forested moon. Nowadays, it has grown significantly, with numerous different types of cropgrowers, traders, and craftsmen building a strong community together. The settlement grew even more when refugees from both Denon and Utapau chose to resettle there, aided by the Jedi. This resettlement not only increased the town's population and number of structures but also brought culture from both worlds to create something truly unique.

This uniqueness is certainly reflected in the Yavin Yellowjackets. Having always had a bit of a rebellious streak ever since the Damerons settled there, Wetyin's Colony was rocked by the Sith invasion of Yavin IV that had happened recently. While the Jedi and the Yavin Temple Security Force were able to beat back the invaders under the command of Grandmaster Voran. But Wetyin's Colony had certainly been in the blast radius and many citizens, particularly the refugees, were terrified that, one day, Yavin might no longer be a safe haven for them.

Realizing that they could only rely on the Jedi for so much, Wetyin's Colony decided to put together a defense force made up entirely of volunteers from the community. From farmers with slugthrowers to Utapauans riding varactyls to Denon streetfighters, the Yellowjackets are certainly a diverse bunch, with the only thing unifying them being their eponymous yellow jackets. They regularly perform patrols into the jungle, getting target practice on some of the local stintaril rodents. While the Yellowjackets (and Wetyin's at large) have a good relationship with the Jedi Temple, the militia has vowed to remain entirely separate from the Order; not wanting to rely too heavily upon the Order lest the Jedi fall to the Sith one day.

Intent

To bring together several different threads' worth of developments on Yavin together and to create an NPC fighting force that the Jedi can use as allies or training partners.

Can you link the threads in the intent section just for bookkeeping purposes?
