   [Music] go hi everyone I'm Sher hyberg the archist here at CAG I'm one of the hosts of The L makers Guide to the Galaxy uh if you've never seen L makers guide of the Galaxy before it is a show where one of the members of the lore team takes the time to talk about the science and the fun facts and the lore behind each of the systems in the game and with that let's get started so today we're going to go over

2. 00:01:06

   Hades uh which to me is a very archaeologically interesting system I've seen some chatter recently about ghost stories or scary parts of the game that we we would like to include and Hades is a good example of that um it is a system of the Dead um it's totally unclaimed it was accidentally discovered in when was it discovered 2515 by the crew of The Marry Crow which were you know not not exactly an official vessel they just you know they doing their thing they I'm not going to say they're Smugglers but they were certainly um Independent Business people they kept their discovery of Hades secret for quite a few years until the last last surviving member of the crew uh Navigator by the name of Jake

3. 00:01:56

   Taps sold the information off to the Dynamo Corporation and when the Dynamo Corporation came to this galaxy they discovered a wasteland an ancient civilization completely laid to waste no inhabitants ruins throughout the entire system and with that Discovery they were their hands were legally tied they weren't able to terraform the system as they may have liked and the system became unclaimed but archaeologically protected now uh Travelers through the system often swear that it's haunted nothing has been definitively proven of course let's go right back here again uh there is one particular ghost that people say that they see people Banu

4. 00:02:45

   Shian tan perhaps even vendu see this thing that is it's a creature it it's kind of indeterminate no one's ever gotten too good a look at it at it doesn't have skin uh blue vein veins and blue musculature are visible on the surface of the being and whenever someone tries to get a good look of it it vanishes it has obtained Cryptid status by this point it's it's known by quite a few names as many Cryptids are such as Hades Satan Tobias that's one of my favorite ones uh Thanos that's a good one so here we have Hades the star of the system right here it was mistakenly classified as a b type

5. 00:03:33

   Star by the crew of The Marry Crow and when the Dynamo Corporation came in with a surveyors they correctly reclassified it as an ftype star the habitable zone is a little bit wider than that of our own sun because it's just it's kind of like one step up on the Stellar sequence and consequently three of the planets in the system Hades 1 2 and three are all inhabitable although they are are no longer habitable for reasons I am just about to into this is Hades 1 because it's so close to the Sun it is quite possible that this was a lush sort of tropical planet with oceans and ice caps and a Savannah and jungle kind of like a a balanced climb warm very nice

6. 00:04:22

   to live in not maybe not very temperate but definitely a good place you would like to go to grow food but currently L it is a hell it's like it's a hellscape it's crater blasted there there's evidence of great weapons being discharged uh there's you know the the ruins that used to exist here don't even really exist anymore except for impressions in the the Earth of the planet where the ruins may have once stood now we're not exactly sure what happened to Hades one we're not exactly sure what happened to any planets in the system but evidence points to a big war that happened between the three planets and it's possible that they were all settled by three different species it's possible that the one species in the system inhabited all the planets and they they

7. 00:05:12

   went broke into like various factions and went to war with each other I will say there is evidence of only one sentient species found so far but there's still quite a lot to discover this is Hades 2 it is a very geologically active plan there are volcanoes all over it that are erupting quite often spewing Ash all over the planet and consequently much of the ruins that are on this planet are sealed underneath a big barrier of Ash sort of like Pompei there have been many many different surveys on this planet to try to get both get into the ruins and to survey them without damaging the Integrity of the the ruins you know just for posterity sake but because of the incredibly harsh environment it's

8. 00:06:01

   swirling storms all over the planet constantly blowing winds lightning strikes tornadoes you know what have you it's very very difficult to conduct a stately and slow and correct archaeological survey and Mining is also prohibited just in case anyone was interested now unlike Hades 2 Hades 3 is a very still planet there's no weather there's no wind well at least no wind on the surface of course there's jet streams on the the high atmosphere there's very little atmosphere left though um and it's completely toxic to humans because of that there is nothing living on the surface there's evidence that there may

9. 00:06:49

   have been organ organic life at some point but it is absolutely no longer there so it's uh it's pretty rough there most of what we know about the hadian originates from this planet because of the mostly intact nature of the ruins probably preserved because the weather on the planet is nexted to nothing what we know about this species is that they were roundish they were a little bit bigger than humans they had very long arms and uh weird tentacle appendages that varied from statue to Statue so it's not known whether they were actual appendages whether they had a decorative purpose whether it was ceremonial it's hard hard to say very few records of this civilization have ever been found because the atmosphere is so toxic it's difficult for all the but the most

10. 00:07:39

    well-funded teams to gain access here and a well-funded team would be very interested in figuring out what's going on here because Hades 4 which is known as the broken planet is cracked in half oops is crack was cracked in half by some kind of force because of the state of the system it speculated that this is a planet killing weapon that was most likely partially responsible for the horrific war that may have taken place in the system and so various weapons corporations are very interested in hiring well-funded outfits to try to get in and see what the tech is and whether they can replicate it and sell it themselves it is illegal to do this but that doesn't necessarily stop some corporations from

11. 00:08:26

    trying and that is the hati system one of the spookiest systems in the entire known universe not a uee system unclaimed shipping rots come through here sometimes but no one really likes to stay for very long thank you for tuning in this week and I hope you enjoyed this tour of Hades [Applause]
