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.
