Hyadolen

Hyadolen is the capital world of the Independent Systems of Humanity that resides within Triangulum.

History

After a fleet of daring human explorers and colonists set out into Triangulum, they found and detected a large rocky planet inside a quadruple star system. Investigating it further, the temperatures were soaring to 80 degrees celsius and an orbital period of about 15 days, they still decided to land on the planet anyway and catalogued hundreds of species of animals and plants.

Debates held back the colonisation dates, but the decision was made eventually to colonise the surface, despite its temperatures and the tidally locked rotation. By the year 49680 CE, they began building the first cities along the terminator zone, where temperatures were cool enough. Within twenty years, the cities were completed and reaching a population of nearly a million within the next 50 years.

The planet is home to the former president of the Independent Systems of Humanity, Lyra Koa. An activist and revolutionist during the Hyadolen Revolution, she became famous across Triangulum after the book the Natural History of Mankind was published in 50001.

Hyadolen has statistically suffered less wars than most colonies in the galaxy, but the horrors of Hyadolen War left a scar on the face of the planet, the famous nuclear bombing of the city Ladan. After this explosive was used, the war quickly came to an end after fears mounted among the population of mutually assured destruction being activated by the world leaders.
