Hyperion

Hyperion, officially designated as Hathor II, is a temperate terra world that orbits the main sequence star Hathor within the Hathor star system and encompasses the Planetary Republic of Hyperion alongside the Paradise orbital ring and subordinated moon of Icarus. One of the most populated planemos in the Coalition of Congressional Republics (excluding Earth itself), and being the capital of the Stellar Republic of Hathor, Hyperion is one of the focal points of Congressional supranational culture and influence, holding itself as one of the Coalition's premiere industrial and service giants. Originally settled in 2090 and geared towards both shipbuilding and shipbreaking for commercial clients and the Coalition Forces Authority, the demand of materials and personnel for such tasks led to the proliferation of surface mining industries, manufacturing centers, orbital infrastructure, and transportation networks such as space elevators and space-aeroports. With its proximity to the core of the Coalition and the population pressure of an overburdened Solar System, Hyperion blossomed in power in its acting as a bridge between the core systems and distant frontier worlds.

Hyperion is astrogeographically considered to be a "temperate terra" world due to the terraforming projects that were enacted upon the planet, starting in the early 2080s with the nascent Coalition's Tomorrow Initiative under Secretary General Edoardo Colombera. Previously a primitive water world with only a thin atmosphere, it was transformed into a habitable world that sustained further terraforming even during its colonization in 2170. Over time, new continents of the planet arose in distinction, ranging from the continents of Albion to Elezia and Yunru.
