Cylene II, more commonly known simply as Cylene, is the second planet in the system and has three moons named Allestra, Hermione and Joseppe.<ref name=DARWp50/> Cylene has three major continents named Absalom, Clytemnestra and Graus.

====The Dark Age====
By the mid-[[thirty-second century]] the population of Cylene had declined significantly from its peak, thanks to the steadily advancing planetary ice age and the damage inflicted on the planet during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. Cylene still had abundant supplies of ores and mineral resources located near the surface, and these were the only reason that the planet had been inhabited for as long as it had been; it was widely expected that when the readily extracted ore supplies were exhausted, the population of the planet would decline sharply as the population headed for more temperate planets.<ref name=DARWp50/>
