'''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 the cold. This was followed by Thaw, a period of feasting and activity designed to help overcome the effects of cryosleep and Vital, the normal active time of the planet.
==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. Depite this the settlers decided to make the planet their home.
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 [[radicalism]].
