Kira III represented the third planetary body within the Kira system, as it was known in galactic history. This planet is classified as Legends material.
Due to its harsh conditions and scarcity of valuable mining opportunities, the planet was deemed unsuitable for habitation.
During the era of the Old Republic, an initial survey was conducted on this planet. While Kira II, also known as Kira Prime, the second planet in the system, was considered promising for future growth, Kira III was categorized as uninhabitable.
A subsequent survey, performed some years later, revealed that Kira III, along with Kira I and Kira II, had been obliterated by a mysterious and devastating event. The debris from these three planets coalesced into an unstable asteroid field, which then became known as Kira Prime.
Decades afterwards, with the establishment of the Kira Run, the remaining asteroids posed a minor, yet persistent, threat to hyperspace navigation.
