Tyrador IX

Tyrador IX, part of the Tyrador System, is an important terran colony.

The planet was a popular tourist destination and located some distance from Tarsonis. Many of the resort employees were forced to work to pay off debts.

Planetology
Tyrador IX co-orbits with its sister planet, Tyrador VIII. The planet has extremes of climate due to the co-orbiting. A change of a few kilometers would change the temperature, humidity and other aspects of climate. Along with Tyrador VIII, it is the outermost planet in the system.

History
Tyrador IX was a core world of the Terran Confederacy and one of the last such worlds to be settled.

Its economy was shattered, forcing many citizens into debt to various Confederate financial institutions, which often charged them usurious rates. These citizens often became employees at the planet's numerous resorts.

In 2480 anti-Confederate terrorists attacked a resort area on Tyrador IX, going out of their way to kill uniformed marines. They were defeated by visitors, Arcturus Mengsk, an off-duty Confederate lieutenant, and his Umojan girlfriend Juliana Pasteur's security guards. Mengsk was acclaimed a hero by the local milita.

During the Great War Tyrador IX was used by the Old Families who wished to escape terrorist or alien attacks on Tarsonis.

After the fall of the Terran Confederacy, the planet became part of the Terran Dominion.
