Hil is the third planet in the Cela system and home to the native Hiln and various other indigenous lifeforms. It is also the site of an important Naval academy and garrison of Dominion forces.

Overview
Hil is a cold and dry planet with a thick oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere that allowed for complex life to form including the Hiln. It is important to the Dominion for it's military academy and suitable location for a naval garrison/base. In it's past it was the site of essence worship and artifacts imbued with essence left the planet a nexus of essence energy and it's native inhabitants developed with high capability in essence. Due to the thick atmosphere much condensation stays trapped within the lower atmosphere and gives Hil a cold surface temperature.

History
Hil was first inhabited by Neron who colonized the planet and lived on it for thousands of years, aiding the pre-historic Hiln to early sentience before the Neron Empire's untimely demise. They left behind essence artifacts which shaped the planet's society and history in later years. When the Hiln rose to dominance they crafted a society of warriors that waged wars across the planets surface, leaving it torn and scarred in many ancient battlefields.

In 1733 the Hiln made the discovery of nuclear technology and a great arms race ended with the completion and detonation of a series of atomic bombs that ravaged the northern hemisphere and killed nearly 21% of the Hiln population. By 2213 modern terraforming technology had returned the planet to it's former glory.

In the 2500s Hiln became a popular planet in the Dominion due to it's naval academies with high graduation rate and test scores.
