Hectos

Hectos is the largest moon of Xaridge C.

Overview
Hectos is a fairly large moon, with a diameter of 15384 kilometres. It is also fairly cold, with an average temperature of -234°C. Heating systems are needed to live comfortably on the moon, which is why the population is extremely small.

History
After the Archas declared war on the Xaridgar in 2712, a fleet of Xaridgar and Ycowth landed on the moon, naming it Hectos, after Hectos Vutran, the Xaridgar leader at the time. They formed a temporary base and created defence systems. An Archas fleet jumped into orbit and a battle ensued in orbit of Hectos. The Archas retreated from Hectos and returned to Xaridge Da, followed by the Ycowth.

The outpost on Hectos remained standing through to the end of the war in 3140, with around three hundred Xaridgar posted there. Over the years, it was upgraded so living on Hectos was easier. After the end of the war, the base was left in operation.
