Appearance

Inos is a purple gas giant and the final world in the Orian system. Its atmosphere contains a few helpful compounds but nothing that cannot be extracted from Amphor and the other planets. Inos is a classic cold Gas Giant type planet, with crushing atmospheres of freezing gases, magnetic storms, and tremendous pressure. The surface of Inos proper is likely to be metallic hydrogen from the immense pressure, but no probes have survived long enough to verfify this directly. Remote sensing surveys indicate truly dense and frigid conditions.

Most of the moons of Inos are nothing more than sub-zero rocks covered in feet of ice and snow.

History

So far from the inner worlds it has remained uninhabited since before the days of the Sith Empire. There are rumours that some of the moons may once have been used by Urias Orian for burial purposes, though such stories have never been substantiated nor pursued.

During the "Unsettled Scores" incident in late 23 ABY the planet was rumored to be the base of an unknown assassin that later turned out to be Kiln Tobasa. Subsequent events led to the destruction of the Cathedral on Tarthos and a minor inter-clan skirmish. The rumors of a base were later seen to be unprovable. However, they were not disproved. Most of the Clan Naga Sadow forces turned away during travel to the planet to protect Sepros, and only a few managed to make it to the surface. Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu was one of those who made it to the planet's inner layers, but his mission and activities at that time still remain classified.

In 29 ABY, the Inos area was a site of a dispute between the two Houses of Clan Naga Sadow, House Marka Ragnos and House Ludo Kressh. Rumors of a dark side artifact combined with the machinations of Astronicus Aurelius Sadow and the acquiescence of the Summit allowed for a scenario that pitted clanmates against each other to "cull the herd." Known as The Battle of Inos, the rivalry opened into a bloody conflict quickly.

Fierce battles raged in orbit of Inos as the RSD Final Way and ISDII Harbinger squared off. As well, battles were fought on land as both Houses raced to reach the prize. Artillery, tanks, clones, and Dark Jedi clashed repeatedly on the arctic surface of Inos Moon 18 over many days while their brethren dueled in space overhead.
