Eayn

Eayn is the Kig-Yar homeworld and is a satellite orbiting the planet Chu'ot‎.
==Background==
The gravity is about 0.875 G's, making the inhabitants lighter on Eayn than on Earth. Eayn's atmosphere is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, and Carbon dioxide. It contains a surface temperature ranging from -18°C to 45°C.
The planet lies within the inner region of the system's massive asteroid belt. The world's surface is characterized by a single large ocean, sparse volcanic activity and an almost total lack of glacification. The vegetation is similar to that seen in tropical rain forests on Earth. About one third of the Kig-Yar population in the Y'Deio system called the satellite their home. The remaining Jackals chose to set up colonies within the asteroid belt even before their discovery by the Covenant, which helped defend their system due to the difficulties of travelling between asteroids with rather large ships.
===Post-War===
With the new found freedom of the Kig-Yar who had signed up to the Covenant military, many returned to Eayn and later founded pirate bands with fellow Kig-Yar and Unggoy foot soldiers although the acquisition of vessels became incredibly difficult as many were requisitioned by the Sangheili for purpose of the defense of Sanghelios. This meant that the usual pieced together Kig-Yar ships remained the norm for pirates.
===Kig-Yar Pirate Wars===
In 2554 tensions began to rise between Kig-Yar pirate clans due to squalling over mining rights in the asteroid field of Chu'ot. It soon turned into open war with the destruction of many of these valuable asteroids. The Sangheili soon intervened under the request of one of these pirate bands and the war came to a bloody close as the Kig-Yar surrendered to the Sangheili who by now invaded Eyan. For once in many hundreds of years, the Kig-Yar were united under the banner of the Kig-Yar Confederacy. However the pirate tradition was still strong and infighting remained for many decades after the war.
