Portus Hades
Portus Hades (Galactic Standard: Port Hades), is the administrative and military center of the Cerberus praefectura, the smallest of the eleven prefecturas of the Magnam Imperii located in the Betan territories of the Imperium. Portus Hades is notably one of the main hubs of the Pikasii trade within the Hades Gulf Nebulae and the home of most of the Pikasii Classis Celestae's reserve fleet due to its astrogeographical conditions.
Astrogeography:
Portus Hades is a surprisingly coallesced system, its only asteroid belt located within its Oort Cloud, most of the orbits instead being occupied by geologically dead planets, with the except of Styx, the capital planet of the system which is barely within the habitable range of the system. Due to its location, it is also extremely difficult to survey from outside the praefectura, had it is located within one of the thickest parts of the nebluae.
Economy:
The system's economy is fairly advanced, most of it being centered around the terciary sector, representiing 82% of the system's GDP. This being said, there is also a well developed shipbuilding sector, but it is mostly relegated to upkeep duty and mothballing, especially of the PCC.
Important locations:
-Styx: Administrative and economic center of the system, Styx is also the only body in the system where there is consequential permanent settlement. Due to its hostile climate, the population resides in massive skyscrapers linked together with fully enclosed bridges and tunnels.
-Tartarus: Innermost planet, Tartarus is the main anchorage of the PCC's reserves, with an estimated 2,600 vessels being stored here for future usage.
-Elysium: Largest planetary body in the system, Elysium is home to a non-negligeable amount of mothballed vessels (roughly 700), but is mostly centered around ship building and upkeep.
