Kaldheim system

"Everything in this system, like the rest of the sector, is covered in ice and snow. The planets, the asteroids, even the stations. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if even the star itself was made of ice. Space tends to be kinda strange like that."

- Xaiver Madora

The Kaldheim system is the most populous and most important system of the Hyperion sector, housing the homeworlds of the Nyr, as well as the capital of the Unified Nyr Federation which governs the system and the colonies throughout the sector. Most of the planets in the system are inhabited, and are home to 76% of the sector's population. The planets of Cybria, Sirius, and Ix are all located within the system, and serve as the heart of Nyr civilization throughout the Virgo Cluster. The star system was originally colonized in 252 ATE by miners and dissidents seeking a simpler way of life far from the exotic and luxurious palaces of Xania to the galactic north of the Kaldheim system. The colonists later rebelled against Xanian rule in 514 ATE during the First Hyperion Conflict, after which the Unified Nyr Federation was established.

Since then, the Kaldheim system has grown into a major economical and industrial center, providing the bulk of finished goods produced by the Nyr, and accounting for a considerable portion of the interstellar economy. Because of the multiple conflicts between Kaldheim and Xania in the last two and half centuries, the solar system, as with the rest of the sector, is heavily militarized by the Nyr, who have turned back five Xanian invasions following their original victory in 514 ATE. As a direct result, the Federal Nyr Security Forces maintain their headquarters on Cybria, as well as the largest and most experienced portions of their fighting forces. Numerous shipyards and drydocks are located throughout the system, along with hidden military bases that warn of potential intruders.
