Hyperion is one of five celestial bodies in the Fora system, however it is the only habitable planet. Discovered in 2798, the planet was technically habitable, however it's surface was always completely covered in massive hyper-storms of dirt, sand, and clay. Over half-century of tera-forming efforts have erased the constant hyper-storms, however they are known to spring up during a peak season throughout the year. The planet's early habited history is that of a pirate system. Technically owned by the UEE, but with little effort done in policing the system. Fora became known as a safe haven for pirates, bandits, and criminals alike, with Hyperion being it's rest-stop away from the law.
In 2922, all that changed with rapid militarization after the UEE officially declared war against the Van'dull. A rapid wave of militarized policing results in several years of constant battle throughout the system, with the criminal side of the system eventually being defeated, and driven out of the system. Local government is established on Hyperion, along with the creation of a planetary militia. Early immigration incentives drew thousands to the once bandit, backwater planet. After several decades, the incentives have since stopped, Hyperion now boasting a sizable population to sustain itself, and be somewhat of a voice in the galactic community. With it's main export of silica, it's become a decent, if somewhat low-income, place to make a claim at life. With the Fora's system location being on the Northern boarder of the UEE, Hyperion remains fairly secluded from the rest of the known galaxy.
