One of three planets in the Idon system, Idon has a temperate climate, and was once home to a primitive race of humanoids.
Idon has four moons. Domel, the primary moon, once orbited very close to the planet, allowing some animals to fly between the planet and the moon. The other three moons are Ulaen, Yiroc and Grarin.
The native "humans" of Idon struggle against the beasts. Gathering new technologies they built a huge walled city, Iania, to protect themselves. Like the people of many other fringe worlds, the Idonians have a distrust of non-humanoids.
During the time of the Valcarian Republic, it long remained the only world still capable of seeding ecosystems into other dead worlds - Idon's wildlife being some of the most aggressive in the known galaxy.
