Herotitus is a Periphery world situated between the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus. Settled jointly by the Taurians and Canopians in the late 2600s, Herotitus prospered because of its location allow Periphery trade routes, yet has never been engulfed in war.

In 2997, a hedonistic group from the Taurian Concordat, the New Hedons, arrived on planet and overthrew the government. Without touching the agrarian settlements, the Hedons established a large "pleasure industry", providing customers with physical and/or spiritual indulgence, to the point of excess. Taxation from the pleasure industry was reinvested to allow Herotitus to support increased traffic and demand. Concurrently profits from export of foodstuffs have also remained lucrative. The planet maintains these two distinct industries in strict isolation, and has achieved economic success.
