==History==
Founded at an unknown point in history, the original settlers had travelled to the world making use of cryogenic methods and techniques to get through the seventy year voyage. However, upon arriving in system they found to their dismay that they had been misled regarding the situation the planet was in - rather than a regular orbit and the standard season range this brought they were instead faced with a planet which spent a large amount of its existence swathed in ice. The planet was locked into an elliptical orbit around its sun which saw it icebound for eleven of its twenty-nine month solar cycle.
'''Hubris''', a planet located in the [[Helican Subsector]], was named for the excessive pride of the colonists who founded a society there despite the harsh climate it offers. The planet was locked into an elliptical orbit around its sun which saw it icebound for 11 of the 29 month Solar Cycle. This period was known locally as Dormant and the majority of the population (99% of them in fact) entered cryogenic stasis in hibernation tombs to escape Despite this the cold. This was followed by Thaw, a period of feasting and activity designed settlers decided to help overcome the effects of cryosleep and Vital, the normal active time of make the planettheir home.
==History==Founded at an unknown point in historyIn order to survive, the original settlers stripped out the vast cryogenic chambers they had travelled to used during the world making use of cryogenic methods long journey and techniques to get through installed them on the seventy year voyageplanet's surface. HoweverDuring the planet's eleven-month winter (aptly named "'''Dormant'''"), upon arriving 99% of the population lay dormant in system they found to their dismay that they had been misled regarding individual chambers, while the situation remaining 1% remained awake to tend the planet was in - rather than a regular orbit machinery and prepare for the reawakening, known as "'''Thaw'''", followed by the standard season range this brought they were instead faced with a planet which spent a large amount of its existence swathed in ice's active period known as "'''Vital'''. " Depite this the settlers decided to make the planet their home.
In order to survive, the settlers stripped out the vast cryogenic chambers they had used during the long journey and installed them on the planet's surface. While the planet lay dormant under ice, so the population lay dormant in their individual chambers. A very small number of people stayed awake and active during this time (Dormant) in order to tend to the machinery and prepare for the reawakening (Thaw). These people This minority lived in a place known as the '''Sun Dome''', a habitat which was brightly lit by a plasma ball which simulated sunlight. This artificial sunlight was overly strong however, leading the [[savant]] [[Uber Aemos]] to speculate that this was done to compensate for the feeling of perpetual night the denizens suffered otherwise.
It was on Hubris that [[Inquisitor]] [[Gregor Eisenhorn]] killed the [[heretic]] [[Murdin Eyclone]], who was attempting the bodily resurrection of the infamous [[Pontius Glaw]] with the mass murder of cryosleepers. This was the start of the chain of events that marked Eisenhorn's slide into the path of the [[radical]].
