Summary:

Primus Hyadum is named because it is the first star in seen from Earth in the Hyades cluster.  The system’s star is a g-class giant star that was once a white a or f class star.  The star is orbited by a Jupiter sized gas giant at distance of 8 au.  A long time ago this world was a lot like Jupiter in appearance and temperature, until the star blew up into a giant causing the planet to warm up to Earth-like temperatures.  These types of worlds are common around giant stars.  A small water covered moon dotted with green islands orbits the gas giant.  Cities were built on these islands and today the moon holds a decent population.
