The Y'taa was a group that petitioned the New Republic Senate in 16 ABY, just prior to the Black Fleet Crisis. Senator Tolik Yar contacted Chief of State Leia Organa Solo, claiming that a problem with the Y'taa petition required her attention; however, it was simply a ruse to get her to approach the Senate Hall, where Yar had installed a holosign proclaiming "882 DAYS WITHOUT A SHOT FIRED IN ANGER Remember, Peace Is No Accident."
