Zydanar is a poor, nonindustrial world.

• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Zydarian Codominium in the Spinward Drift Subsector of Beyond Sector.

• This world was once known as Danaria.

The establishment of the Star Legion of the Codominium in 962 was followed by its occupation and 'voluntary' conversion of Danaria, which was renamed Zydanar.
