'''Yela''' (Stanton 2c) is the furthest moon orbiting the gas giant [[StarCitizen:Crusader]]. It is named after the oldest of the three siblings featured in the 24th-century children's morality tale, ''[[StarCitizen:A Gift for Baba]]''—its water-ice crust is said to represent Yela's cool and calculating mannerisms. This moon is the only celestial body in the [[StarCitizen:Stanton system]] featuring an asteroid belt, home to many small locations of interest.

==Atmosphere==
Yela has an oxygen atmosphere. As of 3.17.2, the atmosphere is breathable, although this cannot be confirmed for earlier patches. Pressure suits can replenish their oxygen supplies by extracting it from the surrounding environment.

===Benny Henge ===
{{Main|Benny Henge|Vending Machine Theft}}

In the umbra on the far side of Yela is a small asteroid with two transmitters on it. Below the transmitter towers is a landing pad with gravity that has a Stonehenge-like formation of [[StarCitizen:Big Benny's]] machines. One of the machines has evidently fallen over, crushing and killing someone.

== History==
Discovered by navjumper [[StarCitizen:Toshi Aaron]] alongside the rest of the Stanton system in 2851, Yela was briefly the sole property of the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]]. During this time, the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy]] began to construct a base in the skies of Stanton II. It lightly mined the moons for resources, but largely left them alone.

In 2865, driven by a financial crisis, the UEE sold all the planets and moons in the system to various corporations, including [[StarCitizen:Crusader Industries]], who purchased the parent planet along with Yela and its sister moons. After refitting the Navy's platforms on the newly-renamed planet Crusader for its own use, the company established multiple mining facilities and security outposts across Yela, [[StarCitizen:Cellin]], and [[StarCitizen:Daymar]], and offered some of the land for lease.

In spite of the inhospitable environment, some Humans have made Yela their home. [[StarCitizen:Wilma Ivery]] built the first permanent homestead in 2907,<ref name="crushist" /> where she lived until her death in 2935 from natural causes. In 2909, the first Human was born on Yela when [[StarCitizen:Albert Triolo|Albert]] and [[StarCitizen:Nora Triolo]] were forced to make an emergency landing to give birth to their daughter, [[StarCitizen:Erma Triolo]].<ref name="crushist" /> Outlaw group [[StarCitizen:Nine Tails]] began using abandoned Navy facilities as bases in 2946, leading to an increase in patrols from Crusader Security.<ref name=":0">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bo1xJPgMNL-yela-stanton-2c|text=Yela (Stanton 2c)|accessdate=2023-10-17}}</ref>

== Culture ==
Unregulated ground-vehicle racing is a popular pastime among residents of and visitors to Yela. [[StarCitizen:Lakedra Walsh]] organized and won the first recorded ground-vehicle race on the moon in 2912. The site of this race was made into a permanent racetrack, and was named [[StarCitizen:Lakedra's Lap]] in her honor. Many of the racing sites take advantage of Yela's terrain, and include large boulders and rocks. In 2917, amateur racer [[StarCitizen:Ethan Halton]] died in [[StarCitizen:Nakamura Valley]] from injuries sustained during a crash while making a tight turn on once such track.<ref name=":0" />

====Starfarer wrecks====
Two destroyed Starfarers could be found on the direct route from [[StarCitizen:Port Olisar]] to Yela. There were no bodies among the wreckage. The wrecks were linked to the [[StarCitizen:ICC Assistance (9)]] mission chain.

====Beacons====
Numerous beacons dotted the asteroid belt. Some denoted wreckage (with loot), others were [[StarCitizen:Nine Tails]] lures.

====Transmitters====
Around Yela there were several tall transmitter towers sticking out of asteroids, with a [[StarCitizen:Big Benny's]] vending machine strapped to the top. The towers broadcasted the Big Benny's jingle and could be heard from far away. On the back of each machine was a scrawled temperature in degrees Kelvin, each a naturally significant temperature. These acted as a 'hot' or 'cold' clue for pilots to find [[StarCitizen:Benny Henge]].
