Hector is a star system located in the Scorpius cluster. Like the rest of the Scorpius cluster, the Hector system is a territory of the Hanar Primacy, with two of its planets, Belan and Bluedepth Reef, containing oceanic and aquatic habitats and atmospheres perfectly suited to supporting hanar life: the other four planets of the system were gas giants exploited for their rich minerals and materials, as well as used by the Citadel Council to place listening posts and early warning beacons, due to the relay of the system granting direct access to the Citadel. The system is of major historical importance to the hanar, as it is the site of first contact between the hanar and the Council.
The Hector system remained one of the busiest lanes for civilian and diplomatic traffic in the galaxy due to its proximity to the Citadel and direct access to the galaxy's capital. Unfortunately, this also made it a prime target for the Reapers during the Reaper War when launching their attack on the Citadel, with the smattering of hanar forces left to defend the system being easily overwhelmed. Following the war, the Hector system returned to hanar control, and would remain as such even during the reign of the Galactic Dominion, and remains as such to this day, well into the Pax Aeterna Era.
The system is named after Hector, a Trojan prince and one of the best fighters that fought for Troy during the Trojan War.
