Idris IV
Idris IV (Locke) was terraformed by the UPE in 2533 [3]. It was invaded and captured by the Tevarin in 2542 [3], during the First Tevarin War. Ivar Messer's forces recaptured the planet in 2544 [4], which first set him on the path to power. When the planet was recognized, it was named Locke after Rachel Locke, a guerrilla fighter who organized a resistance group to disrupt the Tevarin occupiers [3].
