The Yaga Minor shipyards were shipyards located on the planet Yaga Minor that serviced the Galactic Empire. Eight years after the start of the Clone Wars, members of the Free Ryloth movement led by Pok hijacked an Imperial weapons shipment at the shipyards. The rebels fled in a stolen freighter and attempted to rendezvous with Cham Syndulla and his ship. However, Pok and his team were pursued by Darth Vader, who slaughtered Pok and his team. In response, Cham decided to escalate his insurgency against the Empire.
