Hyperion is a Super Terra, meaning it is far larger than Earth, but still smaller than an ice giant. Because of this, it is often times called the second Reach as its size resembles that of Reach. Aside from its size the planet hosts an incredible diversity of fauna which due to their sheer numbers are still being hunted today. Hyperion's main industry is hunting and many tourists come here to enjoy hunting trips to take trophies back home. This exploded the colony's economy and was later selected to become the Sector Capital of outer colonies as it was a perfect example for these new outer colonies.

History
Hyperion was colonised roughly 50 years after the Stellar Ascension and has grown since then. The original colonists were of Greek descent, but since the planet proved to be large enough to host the entire Stoinian Sector, more and more people made their way to Hyperion. However to sustain the hunting ethos which had been implemented from an early age, the Hyperian Government made campaigns to keep people at bay and away from the planet. Imposing high local tax tariffs, but a welcoming eco tourism. Only after a few decades did the Stoinians encounter the Nelvaanians, which have grown more intelligent with the century. Nonetheless aggressive actions have been taken by both parties and the exact policy remains unclear as the local Governors clashed with the monarch in the Troubles.
Although the Velutarian War didn't reach Hyperion, it shares another dark past with multiple outer colonies. During the reign of Mihai the Old, the outer colonies stirred up troubles creating unrest, some even fearing for open revolt. These riots were known as the Troubles. On Hyperion, the local Governor wanted to implement commercial hunting on the Nelvaanian and had already proceeded with hunting expeditions on them. When the King heard of this, he immediately set foot on Hyperion to resolve this matter with his constitutional powers. Thus Hyperion became the first planet on which King Mihai would come and resolve the planets personally. Many Hyperians eventually came around to see the King's prerogative, but some stubborn elements remain. The Progressive Xeno Party has however gained traction on Hyperion, having its highest procentual voters.
Hyperion was spared the atrocities of the Velutarians, but that didn't mean they idly stood by and did nothing. Five years before the War it was discovered that a whale on their moon, Theia, excreted medicinal fluids which could help speed up healing processes. With such a discovery millions of researchers started to settle the moon and set up farms from which this medicinal fluid can be made. Taming theses creatures proved difficult however, but progress was made, although slowly. Halfway into the War researcher were able to fully heal an injured hunter by dipping him in this medicinal fluid. Although the therapy is now known and successful, there are for too less whales to sustain a steady production for trillions of people. So researcher now are looking at methods to simulate the processes happening in the whale as to make it by themselves.

Geography
Hyperion is a rather flat world with only a few mountain chains which rarely exceed the 3 km mark. This is suspected to be due to the slow geographic processes beneath the planets crust. As a result the planet is filled with plains and savannah like biomes. Although certain continents have no trees on them, there are several lush forests.
Hyperion has multiple cities spread out on the continents. Although having such a large population, it does not hold a Spire city, instead opting for space elevators. 

Fauna and Flora
Hyperion has considerably less diversity when it comes to fauna and flore compared to other cold planets. Some speculate that it is because of the recent current ice age. Others because of the planet's poor resources. Regardless life still has found its way on Hyperion. The most notable animals are the Khison and the Grayson Wolf. The Khison are large bovines similar to the ancient Bisons of Terra. They have a nomadic lifestyle and live mostly in herds. The apex predator on Hyperion is the Grayson Wolf, named after Albert Grayson, a famous Hyperian hunter who was able to tame some of these wolves. The Grayson Wolves live in pacts and are fiercely teritorial. They are also amongst the toughest animals within the whole Star Kingdom and in danger zones, plasma based weaponry is allowed. This is to make sure that the colonists can fend them off as the Grayson Wolf easily dwarfs a normal Terran.

Hyperion also hosts the Nelvaanians, a primitive sapient species native to Hyperion. Although they have accustomed quite well to the cold, their society remains rather primitive. It is to say that the Nelvaanians however have shown more intelligence than the Rhodesian Cathrani. Nelvaanian culture is very tribal based and shows sign of extensive spiritualism. Hence why most males have tattoos. They are lupine of origin and it remains a mystery to this day how two lupine species have become so different through evolution. Nelvaanians are also fierce warriors as their tribes often fought against one another. But when the Velutarians had arrived at Hyperion, the Nelvaanians also suffered heavily. The Nelvaanians, although able to hold off several attacks through sheer courage, lost 85% of their population due to the Velutarians who also experimented with them. It is to say that in previous centuries there had been plans by radical Governors to wipe them out with extermination programs, some of these programs were implemented within certain limits. The fact remains that multiple incidents have occurred, both peaceful and aggressive. Their fate remains clouded in mystery as again the Stoinians haven't made a clear policy on the Nelvaanians.

Satellites
Hyperion has one rather large moon. The moon itself is also habitable and recent colonisation efforts have begun. Around 10 million people live now on the moon who are also equally represented in the Hyperian Congress. Like Hyperion, Theia also hosts wildlife and is often used as a planet wide fishing and hunting reserve. Theia's most notable fauna and flora is the Theian Whale which excretes a medicinal fluid which speeds up a healing proces. This proces is under further study and efforts are made to domesticate the whales in some capacity.
