Hyperion is a high-population, non-agricultural, industrial world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

  • As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
  • This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • Hyperion is the capital of a small alliance of worlds known as the Hyperion League.
  • It is a member of the Hyperion League in the Hyperion Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

Hyperion is the center of small alliance of worlds known as the Hyperion League. It is the main focus of trade through the Hyperion and Diadem subsectors. Taking full advantage of its central location, the world has changed from a sleepy, mediocre industrial world into a major Enterprise node, shipbuilder and power broker. The world was subjected to a three-way war during the 1170s between factions backed by the Corellian League and the Murians, and local nationalists. The nationalists won after importing Aslan mercenaries to bolster their forces. The Amber Zone rating reflects lingering suspicions and tensions between the victors and their subjugated foes.

World Starport

Hyperion has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
