Wind

Wind was a ecumenopolis desert planet in the Aakaash system. The economic center of the star system, which was ruled by the Land & Sky Corporation, Wind held nearly 60 percent of the system's wealth and had a large, bustling city that covered most of the world and contained most of its population, which was nearly half of that of the entire system's population. The remainder of the planet was a wasteland of deserts and the dryed-up oceans, housing scattered settlements repurposed from abandoned cities and towns. Exhausted mineral mines dotted the planet surface, with an abandoned capital located just beyond Wind's main city.
One desert settlement was home to the Knights of Silver Dawn, a group of mercenaries who worked for profit, some of which went to supply their impoverished human community on Wind. Additionally, the Knights supplied other settlements in the wastelands of Wind, such as spring village. Water supply was not an issue for the Knights' home as it was originally established as an artificial oasis.
==History==
The planet was settled by colonists from Land led by the Nan family who planned the initiative after a meeting on Lake 101. At that time, Wind was still a world of primeval forests.
Towards the end of the High Republic Era, new biological water-purifying technology relied on enigmatic tenebrae as its primary component. However, enigmatic tenebrae was a deadly biological hazard, a drop of which could pollute an entire water table and poison a hundred thousand people to death. Around 200 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates The Vow of Silver Dawn to 200 BBY. Wind's southern Light Han City had just switched to the new water-purifying equipment, and relied on the Knights to deliver a shipment of enigmatic tenebrae from Land, the capital of the Aakaash system.
Li Yu, the leader of the Knights, thus sent the elite red apricot squad to handle the matter. Leaving their underground base on Wind, the squad traced the lost shipment to Fire, the space station city that had been serving as an indispensable transit point between Wind and Land for two thousand years. However, they discover that the Jade Rats had stolen the shipment and sold it to the Blue Dragon pirates, prompting red apricot squad, amongst them An Ping, Lu Nan, Xu Bo, Zhuang Yuanying, and Sean, raided a Blue Dragon–affiliated asteroid stronghold located in the nearby Lake asteroid field.
==Behind the scenes==
In the original Chinese the planet was called "巽" (Pinyin: xùn) meaning "wind" and associated with the I Ching trigram ☴.
