Yadera II was the second planet in its star system, in the Gamma Quadrant.
Yadera II was named after Yadera Prime, homeworld of the Yaderans. It became the refugee Rurigan's new home after the Dominion invaded his homeworld of Yadera Prime in 2340. With the help of a hologenerator, he created sentient holographic lifeforms on the planet. (DS9: "Shadowplay")
