Location of the Yyrtan System.


------------

Yyrtan System
The Yyrtan system contains the yellow star Yyrta and several planets, including Kirtania. The system is positioned along a hyperspace trade route that has recently increased in popularity.

Kelrodo-Ai
Site of the Kelrodo-Ai gelatin mines, famous for their water sculptures and formerly operated by Baron- Administrator Drom Guldi. Guldi and his aide were killed by Wampa ice creatures while on a hunting expedition to Hoth, eight years after the Battle of Endor.

Kirtania
Kirtania, the fourth planet in the Yyrtan system, is a green-blue world of jungles, deserts, and mountains, and is home to the arachnid alien species called the Araquia. Kirtania was originally colonized by several groups of humans, who founded the competing economic states of Surana, Kinkosa, and Dulai. Over the years, the states have seriously depleted the planet's natural resources and polluted the environment. The population of the planet includes two million humans and only 1,500 remaining Araquia. Kinkosa has recently agreed to become an Imperial supply station in exchange for the modernization of Kinkosa City and privileged trading status within the Empire. Shiarha Root, the only known cure for the deadly Direllian Plague, grows in Kinkosa's humid rainforests. Some of the many forms of life in the rainforests include river serpents and predator lizards.

Preedu
This world is also known as Tamban. It was once home to the Emperor Preedu III. Years ago, the first Observer of Preedu III's Court discovered a distant star cluster in Tamban's night sky. Remembering a recent favor done for him by Aitro Koornacht, night commander of the palace guard, the astronomer named his discovery ther Kooornacht Cluster.

Tammar
This planet has an unusually thin atmosphere, which causes native Tammarians to evolve a chemical pouch called a chaghizs torm to store oxygen while at rest. This allows them to exist in the vacuum of space for short periods. Tammar also has no standing water, and the greatest fear of the typical Tammarian is to be immersed in liquid. Ayddar Nylykerka, chief researcher in the Republic's Asset Tracking office, is a native of Tammar.

Yyrta
The yellow star in the Yyrta System.
