Iyaar

An inhabited planet in the Beta Quadrant. Located in a rather empty sector of space, Iyaar is home to the Iyaarans, a little-known race of rather uninteresting Humanoids. The world is strategically unimportant and lacking in mineral wealth. Consequently, it is a very minor player in galactic politics, which suits the somewhat isolationist natives just fine.

Iyaar is the fifth planet of seven around a bright yellow-white dwarf star, spectral type F3 V. The star is also named Iyaar, and is positioned on the edge of territory claimed by the United Federation of Planets. Planet Iyaar is an M-class world slightly larger than Earth. Its gravity is five percent greater than standard, and its atmosphere is a breathable mix of nitrogen and oxygen. Iyaar’s year is 511 Terran days, its own day 20 hours. Iyaar has two tiny moons, both supporting large domed outposts. Iyaarans have also colonized the fourth world in their system, a marginally habitable L-class planet. The three worlds nearest the sun are all airless rocks; the first two uninhabitable D-class, with Iyaar III being class-F. The two outermost worlds are J-class gas giants, the first of which is named Seyaar.
