| A very barren world, Yridia IX is heavily cratered, very cold, rocky, and icy. It has no atmosphere and no hydrosphere. However, the planet is made habitable by a huge artificial support system in the southern hemisphere. Effectively a force field, an energy barrier contains an artificially created atmosphere and keeps out dangerous radiation. It also acts as an effective insulator between the more temperate interior and the chilling, lifeless exterior. Several colossal solar mirrors held in geosynchronous orbit provide a semblance of daylight to those who live on the surface. | | A very barren world, Yridia IX is heavily cratered, very cold, rocky, and icy.

| The conglomeration of cooperations on Yridia IX, along with their supporting residential and entertainment areas, developed around a starport of exceptional quality and facilities, considering its remote location in the galaxy. Almost every few minutes, various freighters, tugs, mining vehicles, pirate or smuggler ships can be found arriving or departing Eden, making Yridia IX one of the most active trading centers in the Minos Cluster.
