Iotra, a temperate and industrialized planet, served as the original home of the warlike Iotran race and held the position of the fifth planet within the Iotran system. Governance of this world rested with the Joint Council, comprised of eight of the highest-ranking officials from the Iotran Police Force (IPF).
During specific times of the year, the southern regions of the planet were frequently afflicted by the East Vacaliv wind storms, often necessitating rescue missions conducted by the IPF.
