Hera is the first planet of the protostar Murphy in the Georgia system. S/2041(Murphy)03 was discovered in 2041.

It is a largely agricultural world and being located midway between the Core and the outer planets on a major shipping lane, it is considered the food source for most of the system. Food is grown, processed and packaged on Hera, before being shipped offworld to supply the other planets.
