Nairida is an abandoned city on modern Zak'kon, a remnant of the days when the asari called the planet Nomimos. Originally a research camp set up to study the Pantaphon, it became a "city" when the archaeologist and industrialist Meddianta T'Nair suddenly named herself "Supreme Matriarch" and banished all but her inner circle from the site. Following a coup led by T'Nair's daughter, Eumenia, Nairida was re-opened and transformed into a major industrial center, with factories set up by all the major asari companies, including Dantius Pharmaceuticals. Its defenses were weak, however, and when the Batarian Hegemony annexed the planet in 1896 CE, nearly all of its inhabitants fled off-world.
Whatever plans were made to liberate the city never came to fruition, and by 2181 CE, Nairida was a ghost town.
