T'vao

T'vao is an asteroid in the Y'Deio system and a Kig-Yar colony. The T'vaoans, known to humans as Skirmishers, can trace their ancestry there. T'vao's environmental conditions are harsher than those on the Kig-Yar homeworld Eayn, including a higher gravity and more dramatic atmospheric shifts. These factors have led to the T'vaoans experiencing a considerable divergent evolution from the two other major subtypes of Kig-Yar. Male Kig-Yar from T'vao have much heavier upper body plumage than other Kig-Yar, while females from T'vao have a ruff of feathers on their heads and necks instead of scales. Myur City is located on the asteroid.

T’vao cannot be a true asteroid though, as an asteroid must be small enough to not be classified as a planet or a dwarf planet, and an asteroid with over 0.9G and an atmosphere is almost impossible, without it being classified as a dwarf planet or an actual moon, if it is orbiting Eayns home planet. This was most likely an oversight or a mistake on the creators part or is just called an asteroid and/or is a Trojan asteroid of Chu’ot even though it isn’t a true asteroid.
