Yavin station is available on all systems, but only as downloadable content (DLC) on Xbox. It's inhabited by Suvam Tan, a Rodian inventor and merchant whose inventory includes some of the best items in the game; he also offers the best price by far for any items sold to him, so he should be your first port of call after leaving Dantooine, and any other time you want to sell unwanted items.
Ebon Hawk
You enter the Yavin station at the west end of its airlock. Using an access panel mounted on the south wall to the right opens the door behind you to the Ebon Hawk: similar access panels open three doors to the east. However, the first time you use the third panel to the east, the door doesn't open and Suvam Tan appears on screen. The quickest way to get him to open the door is to persuade him to do so using the Force at the first opportunity:
Dialog
Suvam Tan: Eh? Eh?! Who is that? What do you want? I recognize your ship... Davik's, isn't it? But who are you? You new or something?
1. Yeah, I'm new. Very new.
2. I don't know what you're talking about.
4. Open this door or I'll blow my way in!
Suvam Tan: You don't sound like a Trandoshan, and you're not one of Davik's... Who are you? What do you want?
3. [Lie] I do work for Davik.
4. [Force Persuade] I do work for Davik.
Suvam Tan: [Failure] Ha! Davik went down with Taris when the Sith destroyed it. That much I've learned from the local Exchange. So who are you?
Suvam Tan: [Failure] Yes, now I do recog... no... wait. What the... ? I thought you might be, but no. Davik's gone now, destroyed on Taris. His people are all gone, too. So who are you?
Suvam Tan: Republic, eh? The Republic hasn't been here in 50 years... don't see why they'd start now. Still, I have nothing against the Republic, so as long as you don't get all worked up, I guess I can let you in.
Suvam Tan: Eh? Sith? They haven't been here in 50 years... not since the last war. Don't see why they'd start making a habit of it now... Still, all my business with the Sith is old news. Politics ain't my affair, so as long as you don't get all worked up, I guess I can let you in.
Suvam Tan: It would be nice to have someone to talk to for a change... Trandoshans and smugglers aren't exactly stunning conversationalists.
1. Trandoshans and smugglers? What are you talking about?
Suvam Tan: They come by here every once in a while, it's how I keep in the loop, you know. But Trandoshan lizard-speak is kind of hard to follow and they have pretty limited imaginations... Smugglers aren't much better either...
3. [Force Persuade] Open this door. I am your friend.
1. Trandoshans and smugglers? What are you talking about?
2. What are you doing here?
3. I don't have time to stick around in this airlock... Let me in!
Suvam Tan: [Success] Yes... I'll open the door for you, friend.
Suvam Tan: Look, this is getting kind of awkward through this door, if you'll just hold on a minute, I'll open this damn thing up and we can talk more face to face.
Suvam Tan: Yeah, yeah, don't get antsy, I'll get there. Just have to fiddle with this damn door lock... thing keeps jamming...
Suvam Tan: Just have to fiddle with this damn door lock... thing keeps jamming...
Suvam Tan: There we go.
He returns to wander around his workshop beyond the door. The east wall is a window through which Yavin and one of its moons can be seen: a short ramp leads up to it, and two other ramps lead up to doors in the north and south walls. If you try to use one of the access panels mounted beside each door on the east side:
Access Denied.
Suvam Tan
This section is a stub. Help us expand it, and you get a cookie.
Suvam Tam: Hm... you don't look like I thought you would. Too... human. Don't see many of your kind out here at all anymore... not since the war at any rate. What brings you here?
1. I'm on a quest for the Jedi Council.
Suvam Tam: The Jedi Council? Don't tell me you're a Jedi... you sure don't look it!
1. I AM a Jedi!
3. They have sent me to stop Darth Malak.
4. I am their only hope.
Suvam Tam: Now, now, I never said I doubted you, it's just... well, there aren't exactly a lot of Jedi wandering around these parts, not after what happened last time.
1. What happened before?
2. What have you heard about the current war?
3. Tell me about yourself.
Suvam Tam: Eh? What? Don't tell me you youngsters don't know anything about Exar Kun and that war... But then again, there've been a lot of... mm... troubles recently I've heard.
1. Enlighten me about Exar Kun.
2. What have you heard about the current war?
3. Tell me about this system.
4. Tell me about yourself.
5. I'd like to ask you something else.
Otherwise:
2. I'm trying to defeat Darth Malak.
Suvam Tam: Darth Malak? Never heard of him... Or is he that new Sith Lord who's giving the Republic such a hard time now? I haven't been keeping up on recent news.
1. He is the Dark Lord of the Sith.
3. He is beating the Republic pretty badly.
4. Why don't you know these things?
Otherwise:
3. I seek the pieces of a map to a 'Star Forge'.
Suvam Tam: Mm... 'Star Forge'? Never heard of it. There's nothing in this system except ruins of Exar Kun's war...
1. Exar Kun?
2. What ruins?
3. What are you doing here, then?
4. What have you heard about the current war?
Otherwise:
4. None of your business, bug-eyes!
Suvam Tam: Eh? No need to be rude. I was just trying to be friendly is all... You don't have to bite my head off. If you don't want to talk, then I don't really know what you're doing here. There's nothing really here in this end of space anymore.
1. Anymore?
2. Tell me about this system.
3. Tell me about yourself.
4. I'd like to ask you something else.

Inventory
Suvam Tan's items cost a lot of credits, so it's worth getting a discount if at all possible: using the Force only persuades him to reduce costs by 5%, but 10 Pazaak wins result in a 20% discount which can save you thousands (perhaps even tens of thousands) of credits. Items can also be sold to for 65% of their base cost, which is 2.6 times higher than any merchant not on Taris (and still at least 62.5% more than those that are).
After acquiring a third Star Map, more items are added to inventory, any item bought is replaced and any sold is removed; the same applies after acquiring the fifth and final Star Map.
Trandoshan: We'll be back for you, human... and you as well Suvam.
Suvam Tan: Thank you for helping, but... I really don't think you should have provoked them like that. They can be... impulsive, sometimes.
Suvam Tan: Thank you for trying to help, but I don't think this ended very well at all. They can be... impulsive sometimes. They may be back in force...
Suvam Tan: Still, at least I ended up all in one piece, right?
Otherwise:
3. If you're going to blast him, at least cut me in on something.
4. I'm just going to be leaving now.
Trandoshan: I don't think so, human.
Trandoshan: A friend, Suvam? You try to hire others to reneg on our deal?
Suvam Tan: Our deal? You're the ones trying to break our deal!
Trandoshan: You know what we want, Suvam. Give it to us or next time we'll take it by force. Think on this before inviting any more of your 'friends'.
Suvam Tan: The Trandoshans, they can be... impulsive sometimes. They mean well, though, really they do. The new ones have just been getting greedy is all... Still, at least I ended up in one piece, right?
Suvam Tan: Here, I'll let you look at some of the stuff I was saving for them. I'm definitely not going to give this to them now!
Each time you return before acquiring the fifth and final Star Map:
Suvam Tan: It's a lot better seeing you than those Trandoshans again. There anything I can do for you now, though?
4. What did those Trandoshans want?
Suvam Tan: They want me to give them more of my inventions... stuff that I haven't even finished working on yet! Ever since Davik went down, the Exchange has been a non-factor in these parts. The Trandoshans are trying to muscle in on all the old Exchange businesses now. Maybe I can still work something out with them... Thank you for being here, though. It might have gone less... pleasantly if you hadn't shown up. Is there something else you want?
Fifth Star Map
If you return after acquiring the fifth and final Star Map, the Trandoshans are also back... in force:
Dialog
Suvam Tan: Well, you're back. I was just taking a look at a few new things I thought you might like and I...
The Trandoshans decloak, and have you surrounded:
Suvam Tan: You?? How did you get in here?!
Trandoshan: We have our ways, rodian. Just because you didn't hear us dock, doesn't mean we can't. And your own stealth units have proven most... effective.
1. What do you want?
2. Get away from Suvam!
3. Haven't I told you guys to get lost already?
4. I'll... uh... just be going now.
5. [Force Persuade] Leave. Now.
Trandoshan: I think not, human.
Trandoshan: [Failure] I think not, human. Not this time.
Trandoshan: We're here to teach you a lesson, Suvam. And you as well, human. Unfortunately, you won't live to correct your mistakes.
Suvam Tan may be invulnerable but he still cowers in fear for the duration of the fight. All seven Trandoshans can use up to three Thermal Detonators each, so your first priority should be to move into melee range as soon as possible. The two Trandoshans flanking Suvam Tan to the east use two Vibroswords each:
Two others using a Heavy Repeating Blaster at range and a Vibrosword in melee combat stand to the west, while three others like this stand at the top of each of of the ramps at the east end of the room:
Suvam Tan: Those Trandoshan scum! They couldn't get more out of me, so they tried to kill me instead! Hopefully, I'll have time before they send someone else to investigate... maybe rig their ship to take off somewhere else... Thank you for your help, at least. I know I couldn't have taken them on my own. I'll let you look at my special stash. It's the stuff I wasn't showing them. It won't be cheap, but if you want it, you can buy it.
Suvam Tan: Eh? Oh, you're back again. Well, I don't know how much longer I'm going to be here. I keep thinking the Trandoshans will be coming back in force... and I don't want to be around when they do. I appreciate your help and all, but there's no way I can fight an army of those lizards, not even with your help.
Dialog
4. Is there anything I can do to help?
1. Where will you go?
2. What are you going to do?
5. [Persuade] I'll look after your inventions for you.
6. [Force Persuade] I'll take your inventions off your hands.
Suvam Tan: No, no, I'll be fine on my own. There's nothing that can be done sometimes, and I think I should move on anyway. This place is getting too old.
Suvam Tan: Hm... I don't rightly know, yet. I was thinking of maybe looking up some of my old Baragwin friends... if any of them are still alive.
Suvam Tan: [Failure] Ha! No, no. I think I can handle them by myself.
Suvam Tan: [Failure] Yes, I... No, no... What am I thinking of, I can't do something like that!
Suvam Tan: I was thinking of maybe looking up some of my old Baragwin friends... if any of them are still alive.
Suvam Tan: I managed to scavenge enough pieces to fit my ship out with a hyperspace drive, so I'll spend some time trying to find them on my own I think.
Suvam Tan: Now... what can I do for you?
Otherwise:
3. Good riddance!
Suvam Tan: Eh? That's the kind of gratitude I get? Well, I should have expected it from you... I don't know how much longer I'll be here, so if you come around again and I'm gone, don't come looking. Hah! And don't expect me to leave all the good stuff lying around the place either. It's coming with me. If there's anything you want, now's the time to buy it 'cause there's no guarantee it'll be here next time.
3. [Force Persuade] You want to give me all your inventions.
Suvam Tan: [Failure] I... What? No I don't! I don't know what you're trying to pull, but don't do it again! Now do you want to buy something or not?
2. I'm not interested in that right now.
1. Let's see what you have.
3. [Force Persuade] You can cut me a deal.
Suvam Tan: Suit yourself, suit yourself.
Suvam Tan: [Success] Well, yeah, sure, I guess I can. You have a good face I think.
Suvam Tan: A little odd, perhaps... but good.
Suvam Tan: Here, have a look.
Each time you return from now on:
Suvam Tan: I know those Trandoshan lizards are waiting to strike again. Just a matter of time. What can I do for you?
Suvam Tam: Hm... you don't look like I thought you would. Too... human. Don't see many of your kind out here at all anymore... not since the war at any rate. What brings you here?
