Chief among these is Bria Tharen, a young Corellian woman, lured to Ylesia as a religious pilgrim, and now caught in the grip of addiction and slavery.
Once a Ylesian slave, Bria has converted her anger at her impotence in the face of her subjugation into action, and is now an aggressive leader in the Rebellion against the Empire.
The pitch she makes to him is that she will benefit by freeing the enslaved pilgrims, adding their much-needed numbers to the rolls of freedom-fighters, and Han and his smuggler pals will benefit by taking a large cut of any of the drugs and riches cached on the planet.

Ylesia is covered with shallow seas broken by several island chains and three continents.
The northern continent is located near the north pole, while the other two are located along the equator.
The weather patterns on Ylesia are marked by incredibly wild air currents found in all layers of the atmosphere, making it difficult to land a ship there.

 SW: TPS Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Once he arrives on Ylesia, Han assumes the alias "Vykk Draygo" and is hired as a pilot for the t'landa Til priests who run the colonies on the planet.
Ylesia, Han learns, is a planet where hundreds of "pilgrims" come to worship "the One" and live in harmony.
Looking closely beneath the surface, however, Han sees that Ylesia is nothing more than a prison planet, run by the t'landa Til, who are nothing more than pawns of the Hutts.

 Bria Tharen
She naively believed that this was from a higher power, and was unaware that it was simply a biological accident produced by the organs of the t'landa Til priests.
Eager to follow the Exultation, Bria headed to their headquarters on Ylesia, but while she expected to feel the same sensations she had before, the young Bria was instead forced into slavery in a spice processing plant, with the Exultation as a carrot to keep working.
Tharen was still suffering the varied physical, mental, and spiritual effects of withdrawal from the Exultation - it nearly consumed her as she struggled to recuperate and rebuild herself.

He is transported to Ylesia at once to serve in his new and most treacherous position as leader of an army whose members want him dead.
Having not previously been able to read Ylesia in its e-book format, I was unaware as to how Jacen rose to his position in leading whole forces into battle from the bridge of the Ralroost.
The action sequences in Ylesia involving star fighter battles and ground war were exciting and fast-paced.

 Ylesia (e-book) - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Ylesia, part of the The New Jedi Order series, is an eBook novella by Walter Jon Williams, published in 2002 and set at the same time as Jon Williams's novel Destiny's Way, in between chapter 21 and chapter 22 of the book.
That's Jedi Knight Kyp Durron's opinion about the planet Ylesia, home base of the so-called Peace Brigade, a group of traitors dedicated to hindering the war efforts of the New Republic and hastening the ultimate victory of the merciless Yuuzhan Vong.
But young Jacen Solo, still bearing the scars of his imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong, has a better idea: a daring raid into the heart of Ylesia's capital, with the objective of capturing the Brigade's top leaders—-including the newly sworn-in President, Thrackan Sal-Solo, cousin to Jacen and his twin, Jaina.

Ylesia has a secret that relates to the spice mining it produces.
He meets a pilgrim, #923 (we do later learn her name), and starts falling for her and wants to rescue her as well as rescue himself from the soon to be hopeless situation on Ylesia.
It was because of this that he was able to escape to Ylesia, and be their pilot.

I expressed my frustration to my friend Michael Gruber, a fellow StarWars enthusiast, who had already discovered that Ylesia is actually an eBook, for sale on Amazon.com and other online bookstores.
Read the webpage Ylesia: Erratum and Recompense for more information and a link to download the book.
After a bit of experimentation with my printer drivers for my HP colour laser printer, I have been able to print the book out on A4 paper in booklet format, so I can fold it in half (A5 size), and have it read just like a book would, with printing on both sides.

 Review: The Paradise Snare
Not the pilgrim’s paradise Han believes it to be, Ylesia is actually a processing planet for various types of illicit spice.
Shipments of raw spice, including glitterstim, are shipped to Ylesia for processing by pilgrims who have come for spiritual salvation but end up working as slave labor.
Eventually, Han discovers that the slaves do not remain on Ylesia forever, but are shipped to Kessel to mine spice (an often fatal job) as new pilgrims come in.

He planned to board a ship going to a religious colony called Ylesia, then earn enough money and experience to make it into the Imperial Academy.
When Han got to Ylesia, he landed a job transporting spice for the t'landa Til, a kin species to the Hutts under the alias of Vykk Draygo.
Perhaps it was sentimentality about Delwanna, or his hatred of slavery from Ylesia, but whatever it was, he decided to rescue a Wookie.

Rate Ylesia on a scale of 1 to 10.
I enjoyed the excerpt and interview at the end, though I actually found myself agreeing with Fyor Rodan a little during his rant to Luke in the excerpt and that frightens me.
No substance at all, and I guess at I can't expect there to be in a story of so few pages, but we're rating this in accordance with our ratings that we gave other books in the NJO.
