Hades is an unclaimed system. It is accessible only through territories controlled by pirates and is thus isolated. Hades is best known for the remains of the Hadesian civilization. Formerly claimed by the United Planets of Earth, it was abandoned a second time in 2546. All planets in the system are inhospitable, cratered by heavy bombardement and contaminated by the effects of combat actions. Since the 27th century, a civil war has been suspected as the cause.

Hadesian Settlement
290 000 - 300 000 BCE SEY Hades was settled by an spacefaring civilization named by the humans 'Hadesians'. They settled on 3 planet of the four planets in the system. They share a written language, related culture and trade and travel between the planets existed.

Most likely in a series of combats, Hadesians destroyed the atmosphere of the planets they were living, still for unknown reasons to his later rediscoverers. Hades IV was split into two parts by a single doomsday device.

It is not known whether Hades had access to the existing wormholes at this time (probably harming their abilities to expand), or the realignment of the wormholes first isolated them from his parent civilisation (i.e. see xyz).

Rediscovery
The jump-point into Hades (from Nexus) was re-discovered by humans in 2515 by the Merry Crow, a tramp freighter with stolen goods, who hid its discovery.

Jake Tapps, former navigator sold the navigation data of the jump-point, after the ship was destroyed and his crew (except Tapps) were killed in 2529. GC notes his reason was to finance his SLAM addiction. The system was entered, cartographed and registered by the Dynamo Corporation in 2531.

Dynamo's exploration ships soon discovered ruins of its former inhabitants. Initial plans to terraform the planets were given up and the findings were sold to the United Planets of Earth (UPE) which claimed the system. The devasted tomb-like state of the planets ruins lead to the nickname Hades. The former nickname was officially adopted by the UPE.

Messer Era
In the time before the rise of Ivar Messer, the system was extensively searched by xenoarchaeologists. In 2541 the UPE retracted their protection to support the Tevarin War effort. The newly formed United Empire of Earth left the system entirely unprotected.The void was filled with treasure hunters and researchers needed to contract private companies for their security.

In 2647, the xenoarchaeological faculty of the Astravin University at Cestulus published a paper which theorized that the Hadesian civilization had been wiped out in a interplanetary war.

Imperator Corsen Messer V later adopted the theory that the Hadesians possessed advanced weapon technology and tried to conduct a search effort, which was conducted by UEE marine forces. In the process artifacts and ruins were irretrievably destroyed.

Post-Messer Era
After the downfall of the regime, hundred of academic institutions across the signed a petition in 2792 asking the UEE to reclaim the system. Due to the ongoing conflict with the Vanduul the petition was refused.

To this day, thousands of structures have been identified on the planets and artifact and technology hunt continues. Goods excravated or shipped from the Hades System without the approval of the Department of Xenoarchaeology are considered contraband by the Advocacy.

Etymology
Hades was named in honor of the greek god and personifcation of the underworld. It was given due 'this grandiose level of destruction' on Hades IV or the tomb-like state of the worlds.

The Hadesian Civil War
Named after the ancient mythological underworld, Hades is an ancient battlefield of the dead. Xenoarchaeologists theorize that a system-wide civil war ended in the self-annihilation of the civilization. The UEE registry lists this unclaimed system as having three and a half planets. The "half planet" is Hades IV, which has been split in half by a mysterious force. Hades has endured as an archaeological curiosity for both scientists and the public alike, some of whom are convinced the Hadesian 'planet-killer' tech is somewhere in the system.

Evidence points to a terrible war that occured between the three inner planets. One possibility is that they were all settled by three different species. Another is that only one species inhabited all of the planets and then splintered into enemy factions. The evidence so far has indicated the presence of only one species but there is clearly a lot more to discover in the system.

The Hadesians
There are as many theories about the Hadesians' nature as there are stars in the sky. Every year, a fresh batch of university graduates descends on the system, hoping that they will be the ones to finally crack the mystery of this civilization, and every year, they go away in frustration. That doesn't mean that the Hadesian are a complete mystery. Scientists have managed to roughly determine their physical dimensions and that their civil war was fought roughly 300,000 years ago. Based on skeletal and architectural evidence, Hadesians were roundish creatures with a bulky central body. Multiple thin appendages (a number that apparently varies from Hadesian to Hadesian) and a pair of long arms complete the figure.

The Hades Cryptid
Travellers to the system often swear that it is haunted. Also known as "Hades Satan", "Tobias" and "Thanatos", the mysterious Hades Cryptid has had reported sightings over the years by Humans, Banu and Xi'an. The creature has been described as lacking skin, with blue veins and blue musculature visible on the being's surface. However whenever someone tries to get a good look at it, it vanishes. "I had put my ship on automatic, bearing for Hades III, and then climbed down to the middeck. As I stepped toward the hold, I caught sight of something in the darkness. I couldn't say it was even Human, but Humanoid at least. I had an immediate impression of a body with exposed musculature, covered in blue-hued veins. It turned to look right at me when my ship suddenly rocked. It was gone. It was a nanosecond of an encounter, but I was left with a terrible sense of presence. It was as though I'd seen something my mind couldn't understand. The feeling never passed. I sold the ship when I got home; it didn't feel like mine anymore."

- Eli Thorn, Navjumper on the Hades Cryptid.

Hades
Hades is a main Sequence Dwarf-F 'blue-white B9 IV' star. If the inhabited planets had not been devastated by the war, they would probably hardly be habitable today, as they are outside the green band due to the decrease in emissions from the star. Galactic Guides notes that this observation stands 'in seeming contradiction to the age of other stars in the stellar neighborhood'.

Hades I
Even though this planet lacks an atmosphere, various craters and ruins indicate that Hadesians once occupied it. Some wonder whether the atmosphere was another victim of the system's civil war.

Hades II
Shattered Hadesian cities cover this planet, which suffers from a violent atmosphere filled with both volcanic ash and unrelenting winds.

Hades III
A toxic atmosphere keeps most xenoarchaeologists from exploring this planet's ruins. The landscape is covered in impact craters hinting at the horrors that befell the system's original occupants.

Hades IV
Hades' famous "half planet". This world was split in two distinct halves by a mysterious force.

§1 Only in Reverential are gender distinctions common in the third person. (XLO, 24)

§2 Speak about a group of mixed-gender individuals in the third person Reverential, it is the Xi’an custom to use suen or to go to the effort to say suen uth sua’yu (“female they and male they”) - written short form: suesua - or suen uth ua’yu ("female they and he") if only one male is in the group. (XLO, 24)

§ 3 If there is only one female in the group it is still the custom to put her first in the order, hence, uen uth sua’yu (XLO, 24)

§4 (Dead) Things --> ku/kum or lua/luam; (Primitive) Life --> thlan (XLO, 24)

§5 se is used when the following word represents the idea of an entity that is inherently plural (i.e. tyauo’a se Hyū’mân - “a Human language or languages”) (XLO, 23)
