Ird is a planet in the Outer Rim Territories, located near the border with Wild Space. It is the homeworld of the Irdyn, a sentient species known for their advanced technology and engineering skills. The Irdyn are a peaceful people who have never been involved in any major conflict, preferring to live in isolation from the rest of the galaxy. However, they are willing to trade with other species and share their knowledge if it is for the betterment of all.
The surface of Ird is covered in desert plains and mountains. The climate is hot and arid, with very little rainfall. Despite this, life thrives on Ird thanks to the many underground rivers and lakes that provide water for plant and animal life to flourish. The native flora and fauna of Ird are unique and unlike anything else found in the galaxy.
The capital city of Ird is New Tokyo, which is built around an ancient ruin that predates even the oldest records of the Irdyn people. It is said that this ruin was once a great temple dedicated to some long-forgotten god or goddess. Today, New Tokyo is home to over half of the planet’s population and is considered one of the most beautiful cities in all of space.
