Terminus is the largest moon of
Hestia and a key outpost for the
Hiderid Coalition of Stars. Today, it acts as a trade hub, shipyard, and security point for the rest of the Hestian rings.
Its main base,
Terminus Spire was built in the 8th cycle. At the time it was the furthest built object in the
Elpis System, and it still runs
Programmable Matter modules well into the second century. Ironically for a spire, most of its inhabitants must live underground, as Terminus does not possess a magnetosphere, leaving the surface exposed to ionizing radiation.
The shipyards here are small but open to all for repairs and the construction of small Hestia-bound barges. A technical university,
Lynne Sara Memorial Polytechnic, operates there.
