The Cerberus System was a trinary star system in the Republic of Haven and the location of the prison planet Hades.
Star geography[]
Cerberus was located in the Shilo Sector, over a hundred and sixty-eight light-years from the Barnett System. (HH7)
Cerberus A was a class F4 star, Cerberus-B was a class G3 star, and Cerberus-C was a class M9 star without any planets.
There was at least one habitable planet in the system, Hades, which had three moons, Tartarus, Sheol and Niflheim.[1]
History[]
Cereberus' location was a closely guarded secret of the People's Republic. It had extensive unmanned fortifications. (HH7)
In 1913 PD, the Battle of Cerberus took place in the system. As a result of that battle, the majority of prisoners held on Hades were able to escape due to the efforts of Honor Harrington. (HH8)
After the exposure, including the report by Amos Parnell to the Committee on Human Rights of the Solarian League Assembly, the Republic of Haven Navy was deployed to secure the system under the command of the Office of State Security. (HH9)
