Ida III

This page refers to the planet Ida III, in the Ida system.

Description
Ida III is the only Idarian colony in existence. Consisting mainly of farming and mining settlements, the planet is hardly developed, but shows promise.

Ida III has a population of 17 million, all Idarian. Most work in the mining or farming industry.

The planet is ruled by Planetary Governor Count Elric Holz, an Idarian noble assigned the position as Viceroy by Queen Arnvara. He is liked by the people.

History
Ida III was colonized by settlers from Ida II sometime before 600 BBY. Due to a lack of hyperdrive technology, it became the only colony of Ida II.

From 300 BBY, the Durgasi Empire began extorting the Idarians, demanding ever-increasing amounts of raw materials and eventually slaves. The Idarians was unable to fight back, and so conceded to the demands.

That changed in 11 ABY, when a fleet under the command of First Admiral Eshtemoh Cosimo arrived in the system. After Cosimo defeated a Durgasi fleet come to extort the system, the Idarians joined the Confederacy. The decision was not popular among the citizens of Ida III, but as subordinates to Queen Arnvara, they had little choice.

To this day, several political parties and non-political organisations of Ida III - some of whom would be classified as terrorists - support secession from the Confederacy.
