| The parts of the city that have been substantially developed were formed only over a handful of decades and its structures are of a typical Imperial style. Because of the labor intensive nature and economics involved in trying to expand the city over the moon’s surface, most of the current work is taking place in already developed sectors. Because of this most of the developed sectors have seen a more vertical expansion, with newer layers having been built on top of existing, older ones. | | The parts of the city that have been substantially developed were formed only over a handful of decades and its structures are of a typical Imperial style.

Chyron is the largest moon orbiting Perune. Chyron is similar to Coruscant in that its surface is entirely overgrown with city sprawl. Unlike Coruscant, city development is a recent endeavour and many sectors of the city are still swampland construction zones. It is however the most important financial and trading center in the system.

Description
Chyron is a budding ecumenopolis under the control and leadership of Chancellor Jorm Na'trej. All of its land masses have been covered by overlaying structures during the last decades and its bodies of water drained. Unlike the fully developed cities of Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa, the moon’s development is far from complete. This leaves both fully developed areas and construction zones at varying levels of completion to be the main terrain of the small moon.
