Yrstadd

"(text of the quote)"

 is a planet that used to be a public colony during the early years of the Old Republic. This unimportant world used to be a flourishing colony until the eruption of a seemingly dormant super-volcano, which nearly destroyed the world's fragile ecosystem. While still capable of supporting life, Yrstadd's atmosphere became a health hazard and the planet gradually lost all of it's inhabitants, becoming one of the worlds that were born and died within the age of the Old Republic.

The planet officially remained under Galactic Republic rule and the Republic placed an outpost there during it's late years. When the Galactic Empire became the dominant ruling force in the galaxy, Yrstadd was deemed useless, becoming little more than an entry in the galactic records.

While the planet itself was never important, it was the homeworld of some powerful individuals, including Jax Dayne, a Sith Warrior who fought against the Jedi and the Republic.
