Kira system

The Kira system was located at the center of the Kira Run. It originally contained four planets, until three of them were destroyed by an unknown cause.

Description
The Kira system originally contained four planets, designated Kira I through IV. Except for Kira II, all planets were inhabitable and had little to no resources worth of development. At one point during the reign of the Old Republic, the first three planets were destroyed by an unknown cataclysm. The remnants of the planets formed an unstable asteroid field which inherited the name Kira Prime. The star's gravity well kept most of the asteroids contained, but from time to time larger asteroids left the well and became hyperspace hazards.

History
The initial survey conducted by the Old Republic designated the planets Kira I ] and additionally gave the name Kira Prime to the second - and the only inhabitable - planet. Except for Kira II, all planets were deemed unworthy of further development.

Years later a second survey found out that the first three planets of teh system had been destroyed in an unknown cataclysm. The newly created asteroid field inherited the name Kira Prime from the second planet. Further research into the cause of this destruction was deemed unnecessary and the Kira system became almost forgotten.

Around 70 BBY hyperspace explorers, seeking to connect the Harrin Trade Corridor with the Enarc Run, found a reference to Kira Prime. Using the planet's coordinates, the Haik Expedition successfully established the Kira Run.

Over the decades, this short route became an important link in galactic trade and the kira system and important stopover point. The asteroids of the destroyed planets, howver, posed a small, but constant threat to all traders.
