Hermes

Hermes is a medium sized terrestrial planet that was newly discovered in the outer solar system in the early 23rd century.

It is the main location of Prison Academia.

Geography and Topography
With a medium size and rocky surface, it it generates roughly the same gravity as earth. The planet has a magnetosphere, as polar lights can be seen from time to time. Hermes has an atmosphere, that is breathable without the need for a helmet for humans.

Due to its location on the outer edge of the solar system, the planet receives very little benefit from the sun. Heavy snow storms rage over the planet almost constantly, with the planets overall temperature being comparable to a colder arctic.

Intense magnetic storms caused by the nearby asteroid belt, result in most communication breaking up. Access to the outside of the planet would be limited to orbital elevators built in major dome cities.

Radar and aircraft operations are extremely limited because of those factors.

Human habits have been established in the form of dome cities like Minerva.

History
Discovered in the the 23rd century, it became important for his resources. More importantly, it was in an ideal position to serve as a gateway for humans to travel outside the solar system in the not-too-distant future.

Neo Terra and New Solar, the main parties of the Federation. Joined forces to develop a planet and own it together - a new attempt that could be called historic. The name of this project is the "Planet Hermes Joint Development Project.

Terraforming, the foundation of the plan, has been completed, and the living environment for humans has barely been established. Carlson Academy an academy that trains high-ranking officers of the federation and shielded town Minerva was founded.

However, as soon as many people, organizations, and business groups began to settle the new frontier, a war broke out between the two camps over the huge profits the planet would generate. This Hermes Conflict in the year 2249 (39th year of the cosmic calendar) was the first war only a century after the start of planetary exploration in 2226.

Because of an other conflict against a third power called "Die Erde", on Cordelia, near Uranus, both powers have been weakened.

Hermes Conflict, the New Solars seized control of Hermes, and Carlson Academy was transformed into a military academy for the New Solars.

Trivia

 * As the prison games, play in the future beyond the Taimanin setting. This planet currently is not known in the Taimanin games.
 * Hermes would be far to dark and cold beyond Neptune if it existed. It could be closer if it was strongly tilted to the ecliptic plane or the Solar System in the Taimanin world just has some other unknown differences.
