The Hyperion System is a minimally explored system within the Emperor's Hammer territories. Hyperion is a huge yellow giant star surrounded by the orbiting debris of a violent past. Three large planetary bodies are present (Hyperion I, II, and III). However, thousands of slightly and much smaller planetoids are also present. Although most of these asteroids cannot support life, several dozen exhibit gravity and atmospheres acceptable for human life, albeit not a comfortable one for most. The tremendous radiation and heat generated by Hyperion warmed the asteroids and basic life is almost certainly present on several of them.
