Ad Duwayd is an unpleasant and relatively barren world. It is known mostly for its ceaseless cloudy skies, acid rains and poor atmosphere. This quality has garnered Ad Duwayd the reputation of being the dumping ground of society and remains largely unvisited by even local travelers. Significant political unrest has plagued the administration of Ad Duwayd in recent years and is characterized by their complaints of a dissonant, culturally removed, and unsympathetic regional government.

Recently pirates have been using Ad Duwayd as a base of operations from within the Inner Sphere from which they have been launching attacks along the Qandahar Prefecture. Although the pirate naval assets have been largely routed from the system, and their morale and command chain broken by the DCMS, A significant but disorganized force has been dug in on Ad Duwayd with speculative local support. Tackling the remaining pirate clans rooted on Ad Duwayd has been left to mercenary contracts on an as needed basis.
