| '''Eayn''' is the primary [[natural satellite]] orbiting [[Chu'ot]], the third planet in the [[Y'Deio system]], as well as the homeworld of the [[Kig-Yar]]. The moon lies on the inner region of the Y'Deio system's expansive [[asteroid]] belt, with many Kig-Yar choosing to live on the planetoids, moons, and asteroids within the asteroid belt.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}} | | '''Eayn'''<ref>''[[Bestiarum]], [http://imagewtf.com/649/free-image-hosting/ Pg. 8-9]''</ref> is the [[Jackal]] homeworld and is a satellite orbiting the planet [[Chu'ot]]. The gravity is about 0.875 G's, making the inhabitants lighter on Eayn than on [[Earth]]. This is surprising, considering how swiftly Jackals can move on Earth. Eayn's atmosphere is composed of [[oxygen]], [[nitrogen]], and [[Carbon Dioxide]] (Rather similar to Earth). It contains a surface temperature ranging from -18°C to 45°C (-0.4F to 113F). It could be supposed that the "planet" is extremely similar to Earth. |
|
| |
|
| Although Eayn is their homeworld, few Kig-Yar place any importance on that fact,{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} with only a third of the Kig-Yar in the Y'Deio system residing on Eayn.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 155 (2011)</ref> Eayn keeps few ties with the more remote, independent colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}
| | The planet lies within the inner region of the system's massive asteroid belt. The world's surface was characterized by a single large ocean, sparse volcanic activity and an almost total lack of glacification. 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 traveling between asteroids with rather large ships. |

| The moon is home to a tropical environment, with a theorized history of widely varied environmental conditions.{{Ref/Reuse|enc157}} Eayn's gravity is about 0.875 G's, making its inhabitants more lightly built than on [[Earth]]. Eayn's atmosphere is rather similar to that of Earth, being composed of [[oxygen]], [[Wikipedia:Nitrogen|nitrogen]] and [[carbon dioxide]]. Its surface temperatures range from -18°C to 45°C (-0.4°F to 113°F).{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}

| The planetary ecology is extraordonarily diverse at every level, and the diversity of the Kig-Yar is not entirely attributed to natural speciation. It was suspected by the Covenant as a touch of the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]], and various mutagens in the atmosphere does provide evidence of ongoing manipulation and reshaping. The diaspora of the Kig-Yar off the planet may have unforseen consequences, not that any matriach or merchant union has expressed interest in this speculation.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

| ==History==
| |
| Long before the Kig-Yar achieved space flight, Eayn experienced an era defined by gladiatorial combat. The ancient Kig-Yar alive at this time would hold inter-[[clan]] physical combat competitions in the largest population centers on Eayn's supercontinents.<ref name="enc157">''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 157 (2011)</ref> The ancient Kig-Yar sailed the waters of Eayn and raided competing clans for food and mates. However, as their populations grew, the differences and distances between Eayn's clans decreased, leading to large-scale conflicts such as the [[Czaalo Wars]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Eventually, a new cooperative spirit led to the invention of spacecraft allowing them to colonize nearby worlds.<ref name="ch87">''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', p. 87</ref> Eayn's dominating governments pushed many Kig-Yar to colonize the [[asteroid]]s and [[moon]]s of the nearby asteroid belt.{{Ref/Reuse|enc157}}
| |
| | |
| When small contingent [[fleet]]s of the Covenant arrived in the Y'Deio system in [[1342]],<ref name="universe">[[Halo Waypoint]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20200104163044/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/kig-yar ''Kig-Yar'']</ref> the [[pirate]]s, mercenaries, and militias of the Kig-Yar joined forces in an attempt to fend off the alien intruders.{{Ref/Reuse|enc157}} The Kig-Yar met the Covenant headlong in battle, beginning a protracted naval campaign.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Despite the ruthlessness of their fleets,<ref>''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', p. 100</ref> the Kig-Yar were able to resist the Covenant only for a time, and they eventually submitted to the empire's might,{{Ref/Reuse|ch87}} choosing to profit from the immediate expansion of trade and wealth that the Covenant could provide.<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 121 (2011)</ref> However, Eayn was never fully integrated into the Covenant and endless cycles of unification and civil war continued.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}
| |
| | |
| After the Covenant fell in [[2552]], an uneasy peace on Eayn prevailed under an alliance of arch-matriarchs.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} Eayn's native population continued to grow within reasonable governable parameters, and its economy and society stabilized in wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]'', Report 2</ref> With trading fleets and pirate flotillas under their control, the arch-matriarchs of Eayn seek increased influence and wealth through trade and the careful application of violence.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}
| |
| | |
| ==Government and society== | |
| Always a world of conspiracy and violence, Eayn is ruled by an alliance of arch-matriarchs,{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} queens that form the bulk of [[Kig-Yar]] royalty.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} With a postindustrial capitalist society, the governments of Eayn have been described as [[Wikipedia:Ochlocracy|ochlocracies]], which is defined as rule by mob, or the intimidation of the legitimate authorities by the masses. [[Wikipedia:luck egalitarianism|Luck egalitarianism]] forms the base of the justice system.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}
| |
| | |
| While under the governance of the [[Covenant]], Eayn was never fully integrated under the empire's rule.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} Even after the collapse of the Covenant, Eayn's matriarchal government continues to thrive.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The continents of [[Ah'lomet]] and [[Ruuht]] are ruled by separate pseudo-governments that contest nearby islands.{{Ref/Reuse|catalog}}
| |
| | |
| With the Kig-Yar social structure having its roots from an early form of despotic matriarchy,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} the governments that once ruled Eayn were oppressive, leading to Kig-Yar to form colonies with sectarian societies in the [[asteroid]]s near [[Chu'ot]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc157}} The global government on Eayn would later spread power more widely, though females remained at the top of the power structure, controlling breeding rights, territory, familial organization, and major assets.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
