The complex iridium oxide Na$$_3$$Ir$$_3$$O$$_8$$ with a B-site ordered spinel structure was synthesized in single crystalline form, where the chiral hyper-kagome lattice of Irions, as observed in the spin-liquid candidate Na$$_4$$Ir$$_3$$O$$_8$$, was identified. The average valence of Ir is 4.33+ and, therefore, Na$$_3$$Ir$$_3$$O$$_8$$ can be viewed as a doped analogue of the hyper-kagome spin liquid with Ir$$^{4+}$$. The transport measurements, combined with the electronic structure calculations, indicate that the ground state of Na$$_3$$Ir$$_3$$O$$_8$$ is a low carrier density semi-metal. We argue that the semi-metallic state is produced by a competition of the molecular orbital splitting of $$t_{2g}$$ orbitals on Ir$$_3$$ triangles with strong spin-orbit coupling inherent to heavy Ir ions.
