'''Eayn''' is the primary [[natural satellite]] orbiting [[Chu'ot]], the third planet in the [[Y'Deio system]], as well as the homeworld of the [[Kig-Yar]]. The moon lies on the inner region of the Y'Deio system's expansive [[asteroid]] belt, with many Kig-Yar choosing to live on the planetoids, moons, and asteroids within the asteroid belt.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}

Although Eayn is their homeworld, few Kig-Yar place any importance on that fact,{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} with only a third of the Kig-Yar in the Y'Deio system residing on Eayn.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 155 (2011)</ref> Eayn keeps few ties with the more remote, independent colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}

Eayn is characterized by a single equatorial ocean, sparse volcanic activity, and an almost total lack of glacification.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}} The [[water]]y world features tropical archipelagos,{{Ref/Reuse|ch87}} with two supercontinents dominating Eayn's landmass, [[Ah'lomet]] and [[Ruuht]].<ref name="catalog">Halo Waypoint:

[[Ibie'sh]] is a volcanic island-continent somewhat isolated from the other two.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

The moon is home to a tropical environment, with a theorized history of widely varied environmental conditions.{{Ref/Reuse|enc157}} Eayn's gravity is about 0.875 G's, making its inhabitants more lightly built than on [[Earth]]. Eayn's atmosphere is rather similar to that of Earth, being composed of [[oxygen]], [[Wikipedia:Nitrogen|nitrogen]] and [[carbon dioxide]]. Its surface temperatures range from -18°C to 45°C (-0.4°F to 113°F).{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}}

The planetary ecology is extraordonarily diverse at every level, and the diversity of the Kig-Yar is not entirely attributed to natural speciation. It was suspected by the Covenant as a touch of the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]], and various mutagens in the atmosphere does provide evidence of ongoing manipulation and reshaping. The diaspora of the Kig-Yar off the planet may have unforseen consequences, not that any matriach or merchant union has expressed interest in this speculation.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
