Kira Run


The Kira Run represented a hyperlane situated within the Expansion Region. This route provided a connection between the Harrin Trade Corridor, specifically at the Lazerian system, and the Enarc Run, which was situated at the Ropagi system.

Astrography

By linking the Lazerian system and the Ropagi system, the Kira Run effectively established a connection between the Harrin Trade Corridor and the Enarc Run, respectively. The only intermediate point along this route was the desolate Kira system, characterized by a substantial asteroid field and the planet known as Kira IV. These asteroids posed a significant hazard to any vessels traversing the route.

History

The Enarc Run and the Harrin Trade Corridor had been well-established hyperlanes for a long time and were thriving with trade. Attempts to connect these two profitable routes, however, were difficult due to the lack of navigation points and numerous deep space hazards between them. This changed when explorers found a reference to the long destroyed and forgotten planet of Kira Prime. Using the Kira system's existing coordinates as a reference, the Haik Expedition started out from the Ropagi system. The formal establishment of the route occurred on the 11th day of the 4th month in 70 BBY.

Nevertheless, the route remained perilous due to the inherent instability of the asteroid field within the Kira system. For the initial decades of its operation, travel along the route was confined to a limited number of shuttle services. While the Run offered profitability to those who successfully navigated it, hyperspace accidents resulting in fatalities were not uncommon. Around 0 ABY, larger commercial entities implemented standardized routes along the hyperlane, and it quickly evolved into an essential component of galactic trade. Lazerian and Ropagi - the terminal points of the Kira Run - witnessed substantial economic growth and became known as the "Twin Stars of Kira".

Locations

Lazerian IV

Lazerian IV was a terrestrial world located on the Harrin Trade Corridor. It was home to a large Human population, ruled by a monarchy and origin of the Empeth Crystals. The Jedi once had an outpost on the planet. Unbeknownst to the Human population, the planet also was home to Akwin, a species that lived in the oceans of the world. Both species took great care not to harm the environment of the world.

Kira system

Serving as the midpoint of the Kira Run, the Kira system was a desolate system abundant with asteroids and a single planet. Its designation was adopted for both the Kira Run and the Kira sector. Initially, the system encompassed a habitable planet, but it was destroyed shortly after its discovery, along with two other planets within the system. Following its rediscovery by the Haik Expedition, the Kira system now functions as a stopover point for all those traversing the Kira Run.

Ropagi II

The planet Ropagi II was the home of the near-Human Ropagu and the Kalduu, who existed in a symbiotic relationship. The Ropagu were physically frail and tended to solve problem through philosophy. To protect their world, they hired mercenaries and off-worlders were limited to only one city. This made Ropagi II the largest mercenary market on the Enarc Run.

Travel Times

The Kira Run was a short and well-mapped route. With a Class-1 hyperdrive, the travel from the Lazerian system to the Ropagi system did not last longer than two hours.
