Yawben was a small planet in a binary star system. Its atmosphere was unlivable to Micronians and had gravity twice that on Earth. It was also very rich in minerals.
The native species was the Yasayah, a humanoid species made of silicon and copper. During the Invid-Masters War, they revolted, refusing to work as miners and holding out against the Imperial Zentraedi Forces.
The Masters eventually responded by obliterating the planet.
Behind the scenes[]
Yawben and the revolt is mentioned in a history section in Palladium Books' Robotech: The Roleplaying Game Book Six: The Return of the Masters.
