HD 28185 is a
system in the Hyades region orbiting a yellow g-glass star. The system is
known for having one of the first planets discovered orbiting in the middle of
the habitable zone.
The planet is a large gas giant with 5.7 times the mass of
Jupiter. Orbited by multiple moons, the second moon has a
relatively breathable atmosphere, though with less oxygen than
Earth. Covered in a global desert the moon was first
settled as a mining colony that would export minerals to rest of
the Hyades Region.
Over the generations the planet's inhabitants adopted to the
oxygen poor environment, the population grew beyond the small
mining colonies. Pumping stations were built around the
moon that tapped into massive quantities of underground water
moving it to the surface. The water irrigated lands around
the moon's small oceans, this created desperately needed
farmland to support the growing population.
