[edit] Characteristics

The city itself was split into two major sections connected by long bridges. A grav-train line ran between Tyrena and the Gold Beaches.

Tyrena was the location of Groola's Place, an underground entertainment complex. There was also a rough section of Tyrena known as the Skids.

[edit] History

Tyrena was important to the Rebel Alliance as it served as a major recruiting station and briefing center for Alliance pilots during the Galactic Civil War.

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Rebel Alliance General Carlist Rieekan was having a meeting with the city officials in the capital tower at Coronet. At the same time, Crix Madine was planning his defection to the Rebel Alliance. As Rogue Squadron aided Madine's defect, the empire began an amphibious assault on Tyrena, landing squads of Imperial troops on the beaches. Tyrena was also dangerously close to the base where Madine was awaiting pickup. The troops made their way as far as into the inner city before being completely obliterated by the Rebel's coastal defense guns that the Imperials forgot to take out. Rogue Squadron also aided in the strafing of Imperial troops. The Imperials were eventually forced to route from the city and the attacks on Coronet were repulsed and Madine was able to defect. Although, Coronet's capital tower was completely destroyed by Imperial bombers.

Tyrena was also the host of the Second Annual Ewok Festival of Love.
