Hades (Honorverse)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hades is a fictional place in the Honorverse.
Hades is a maximum security prison planet belonging to the People's Republic of Haven in the Cerubus system. Although the air is breathable and the climate is very much like Earth's, the planet is technically uninhabitable because virtually all of the plants and animals native to Hades cannot be eaten by humans. Likewise, humans are toxic to the native animals and insects. This does not prevent the native wild life from being a threat to the prisoners unlucky enough to be shipped to Hades. There are four continents called Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and one large island (Styx).
Although the planet's official name is Hades, most people, especially those who live there, call it Hell.
