Erdath is the third planet of the Holias System in the Vernarca Nebula, of the Ervo Sector of the Silky Way galaxy. It is a temperate, if cool, world with life covering much of its surface. In the distant past, it was little more than a colony of the robotic Edrons before their destruction in war, but today it serves as the homeworld of the Lrenn, capital of the Erdathian Federal Republic, and a major world of the Vernarcan Federation.

Erdath was named so by the ancient Lrenn, after the god of the dust then believed to rule all. Its surface is teeming with life of all sizes, from bacteria to great whales, from the depths of the ocean to the most dizzying of mountain peaks. As the homeworld of the Lrenn, it has served a vitally important role in the history of the Vernarcan Federation, and indeed was the sole founding member to remain out of the hands of the Alliance of Five during the War of the Broken Bow.
