Hyperion is a huge yellow giant star surrounded by the orbiting debris of a violent past.  Three large planetary bodies were present (Hyperion I, II, and III).  However, thousands of slightly and much smaller planetoids were also present.  Although most of these asteroids could not support life, several dozen exhibit gravity and atmospheres acceptable for human life, albeit not a comfortable on most.  The tremendous radiation and heat generated by Hyperion warmed the asteroids and life was certainly present on several of them.
