Ydahr is a gleaming opal of a world, blue and green, aswirl with clouds that drift over a surface almost totally swamped in seawater. Ydahr is the homeworld of the Ydahri and the G'ahnli. Following the disasterous attempt at utilizing their solar system's resources more effectively, conducted in late 3003, Ydahri elders closed the planet to all outsiders in January of 3005. The elders had not predicted that many younger Ydahri, far more adventurous than their parents, would take the risk of leaving home with no possibility of return. A significant percentage of those that have left have found their way to G'ahnlo, finding employment with corporations run by their distant cousins, the G'ahnli.
