Settlement#
Hibernia circled Virgon as that colony's only natural satellite. Conditions on the moon were harsh, leaving it only marginally suited to habitation, yet it still drew settlers. A few centuries before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, a group of Virgon dissidents called the Celtans departed their homeworld and established themselves on Hibernia, giving the moon a population descended from those who had broken away from Virgon society.
