The '''Y'Deio system''' known to [[Humanity]] as HD 69830 is a planetary system. It is the only known alien planetary system discovered centuries ago by humanity.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 307'' (2011 edition)</ref>

Y'Deio's planetary system consists of at least three planets and an abnormally dense asteroid field. The [[Kig-Yar]] homeworld of [[Eayn]] orbits the third planet, [[Chu'ot]], a gas giant.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref> Further out is an asteroid belt, with a number of Kig-Yar colonies built on small planetoids and asteroids, including [[Dal'koth]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 73''</ref> The numerous asteroid and planetary colonies of Eayn in the system are independently governed. One third of all Kig-Yar live on Eayn in the Y'Deio system, with the rest living on the system's colonies, primarily [[Muloqt]], [[Kaelarot]], and [[Valyanop]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 155'' (2011 edition)</ref><ref>'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''' - ''Report 2''</ref>

==History==
The [[Kig-Yar]] race evolved on [[Eayn]], the primary [[natural satellite]] of [[Chu'ot]]—a gas giant in the system. At some point in the Kig-Yar's history, the [[clan]]s of Eayn united, and the Kig-Yar species worked together in developing space-travel technology. Shortly afterwards, they established colonies on many small [[asteroid]]s and planetoids around Chu'ot in the system.<ref name="HE115">'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 115''</ref> Some individuals continued their ancient ways of life and became [[piracy|pirates]], preying upon merchant starships. Many pirates operated in "kill-squads" that raided territories and colonies throughout the Y'Deio system. The influx of piracy in the system led to the Eayn government, and other colonial administrations, organizing a militia to help battle the pirates.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 157'' (2011 edition)</ref>

In [[1342]], the [[Covenant]] arrived in the Y'Deio system with small contingent fleets. The Kig-Yar pirates and militia joined forces in an attempt to fend off the alien intruders.{{Ref/Reuse|HE115}} These fleets were directly attacked by ruthless Kig-Yar pirates and mercenaries, leading to a long naval war in the system.<ref name="waypointuniverse">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/kig-yar '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Kig-Yar'']</ref> Despite the overwhelming force that was the [[Covenant military]], the Kig-Yar used their home system to their advantage. The extremely dense asteroid belt that orbited Y'Deio made it difficult for larger Covenant vessels to navigate around Chu'ot, while the Kig-Yar used the asteroids as refuges.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 157''</ref> The war between the Covenant and Kig-Yar forces culminated in sieges of redoubts on the asteroid colonies surrounding their world.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 93''</ref> Eventually, realizing the unlikelihood of them winning the war and the opportunity to profit from the expansion of trade, the Kig-Yar joined the Covenant to serve as an essentially independent entity that operated as mercenaries for the empire.<ref name="HE121">'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 121'' (2011 edition)</ref>

Following the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the dissolution of the Covenant, many Kig-Yar returned to the Y'Deio system. The population of Eayn continued to grow within reasonable governing measures, while the system's colonies maintained a very stable economy.<ref>'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''', ''Report 2''</ref>
