Bayaran is the sixth planet from a bright, yellow sun. It is a dying world, slowly loosing it's atmosphere and not fully protected from solar winds.

It was in the process of being Terraformed by the federation when the fall came and the fleet that devastated Suskillon also destroyed the terraforming machinery on Bayaran, but left the world otherwise alone.

The lack of manufacturing, agriculture and more caused a crash, lot of infighting and such. But fairly recently the people here have managed to get back out to space.

A governing body consisting of a president, a forum of magistrates from the factions who interpret major legal decisions, and regional governors who meet on a yearly basis to discuss policy. The seat of this government is in the capital city of Brinnoa in Alappu Major region.

The remainder of Bayaran is divided into a few large towns, agrarian farming regions, mining facilities, and the like.

The “Uio detachment of the 599 545th marine regiment” or Mardets is a single military force with air, land, sea, and space divisions. It gets it's name from the small federation marine detachment that was providing security for the planet when the destruction occured.
