Yalbec Prime was a location in the Outer Rim Territories.^[1] During the Clone Wars, the Republic's Clone Force 99, an elite group of clone troopers, were sent to put down an insurrection on Yalbec Prime, but complications arose when a member of the group, known as Wrecker, cut off the stinger of a Yalbec queen. Various male Yalbec then tried to mate with them, but the group eventually managed to leave Yalbec Prime and travel to the planet Anaxes for their next mission.^[3]

During the Imperial Era, crime boss Sorc Tormo of the Haxion Brood used the phrase "uglier than mating season on Yalbec Prime" while commentating on combat in his fighting pit on the Haxion Brood's asteroid stronghold Ordo Eris.^[4]
