Since the appearance of Jump Drive technology
Exploration has become one of the most interesting activities for humanity
Every day, a new jump point could be discovered
Sometimes leading to an already known system
allowing to have one more road to move in the growing immensity of space
And sometimes leading to an unexplored place of our species
Some of these new systems could be without too much interest
but the majority of these discoveries contributed to the expansion of Humanity
New planets to colonize, moons to exploit, and Jumps Points to find
The system we are going to approach today, in my opinion, completely excedeed anything that could be imagined beforehand
beyond the appeal of new fertile lands and new landscapes
this system offered us something truly unique when it was discovered
The remains of a vanished civilization
Moi c'est Daium, et aujourd'hui, on va parler du système Hades
Far from the grandiose discoveries of times past
Hades had to wait a few years after his initial identification to be put before the eyes of the general public
The crew of the Merry Crow were the first to discover the system in 2515
but didn't announced their discovery right away
The ship they were flying was filled with stolen fusion engines
and introducing this new system to the government could have caused some issues.
Nineteen years later, Jake Tapps, a former Crow navigator and the only surviving crew member
was utterly ruined
And to feed his addiction to SLAM, a drug in the form of gas, similar to morphine
sold the navigation data of his ship, revealing the existence of this brand new system
During the initial exploration by Dynamo
Hades didn't appeared to be interesting by any means
A dying star
no green zone, forbiding any attempt at terraforming
and three and a half planets either with a toxic atmosphere or devoid of any type of atmosphere
However, this lack of interest was short-lived
On each of these planets
were vestiges presents, proving the presence of a long forgotten civilization
An ancient civilization that seemed to have self-destructed during an final civil war
This is how humanity learned the existence of the long gone species of the Hadesians.
Hades I was probably inhabited a long time ago
Between the many craters present on site
ruins can be discovered, suggesting a small, past occupation
The lack of atmosphere gave rise to many questions in the scientific circle
Did it had one before ?
Is the civil war responsible for its disappearance?
Hypotheses are many, but the answers, unknown.
Personally, I guess Hades I could have been a planet with a number of industries.
And that during the war, the chain destruction of all these factories
could have ignited the atmosphere.
Causing his disappearance.
Just like the first planet, Hades II was inhabited a long time ago
An atmosphere is still present
but like the rage that destroyed this species
it' won't let humans live if they ever try to venture without a suit
Under the violent winds filled with ash ejected by the multiple active volcanoes of the planet
many Hadesians cities occupy the landscape
All completely destroyed, forsaken at the mercy of the murderous air
Many of these ruins are hidden under consequent layers of ashes
And despite the attempts of thorough exploration done by archaeologists
The hostile environment populated by thunderstorms and tornadoes made progress extremely complicated
Deposits of Kherium (an ore much prized by the Xi'an) were discovered
but due to the historical and archaeological value of the planet
no mining operation is allowed on site.
As if each planet of the system had to advance even further in violence and inhospitality
Hades III is even tougher than his colleague of the same name minus 1.
It has an highly toxic atmosphere. Leaving only the best protected teams access to its surface
However, despite this hostile environment
Many ruins have been documented over the years
Suggesting that there is still much to learn from this species
Some things should be forgotten definitively
That's what most people must be thinking when they look at Hades IV, the last planet in the system
Beyond the ruins still present on the surface
Hades IV is, in itself, a gigantic ruin
A planet shattered into two distinct pieces, by a weapon of immeasurable power
The climax of a civil war that ravaged an entire race
This weapon, whatever its form, whatever its operating mode
should remain in the most complete secrecy for the sake of humanity and still existing species
There is an almost infinite number of theories about Hadesians
And every year, a lot of new graduates rush into the system
hoping to solve the mysteries surrounding this civilization
And every year, only failure is at the rendezvous
But that does not mean that this species is unknown
Scientists have a rough idea about their physical dimensions
Based upon the architecture and skeletal remains
The Hadesians were creatures with a massive torso
many fine appendices, the exact number varying from one Hadesian to the other
a pair of long arms and multiple legs to complete the picture
Beyond that, scientists are certain that the civil war that caused the extinction
would have occurred more than 300,000 years ago
Unlessbeing passionate about mysteries and stories
This system isn't really that interesting
Technically classified as abandoned by the UEE
it's not a place where people come to eat a croissant
No repair or refueling station is present
And the pilots present on site do not necessarily have the best intentions
Between those trying to protect the archaeological value of this place
threatening anyone loosely suspicious
and the outlaws trying to get artifacts out of the system illegally
It's not the best place to make friends or trade
Any resource coming from Hades will be considered as contraband by the Advocacy
In addition to this pretty cold atmosphere
many traveler hints that the system may be haunted
Some kind of ghost, named the Cryptid of Hades, would have been seen by Humans, Banu and also Xi'an
The creature would have been described as a skinless entity
leaving its musculature covered with blue veins visible on the surface
Appearing only in the extreme periphery of the vision, those who saw this ghost were unable to look directly at it
The entity disappearing instantly
On my side, I find this system truly fascinating
Filled with mystery, stories and risk
this vast area will be something truly unique to visit and feel
And beyond this aspect
I think that Hades echoes the situation in which Humanity is found, not only in Star Citizen, but also today
Our species and life in general, well it's kinda fragile
And we may be only one war away from our complete destruction
Whether it's a nuclear war on our side, or the potential civil war between Terra and Earth in Star Citizen
Thank you all for watching and thank you to the Tipeurs (the french Pätreon) for the highly financial support that is very pleasant
this sentence does not make much sense even in French ¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / ¯
It's been a long time since I had not talked about Lore so I hope you liked it
But in short, I'm going to leave you, I have some roulades to make in salt
