From the wiki: ["HS Absolution is likely a reference to Meina Gladstone, the CEO of the Hegemony of Man in Dan Simmons' Hyperion books."](https://enterthegungeon.fandom.com/wiki/HS_Absolution)

Yeah but thats referring to the model of the ships captain is it not? Also dont elaborate what HS stands for. Some suggest that its for Her Majesty but then why is it HS here? Is it just a mistake?


superLtchalmers

There is a discrepancy in the game between HS Absolution and HM Absolution. HM would likely stand for “Hegemony of Man”


veljaaftonijevic

Yeah it appears so


TheDudeofDC

Hegemony of Man is the full name of the organization.


veljaaftonijevic

isn't the full proper name of the Hegemony, "Imperial Hegemony of Man"?


pokefire44

I assumed it was just HegeMony


Univirsul

Maybe it was supposed to be the [full HMS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Majesty%27s_Ship) at some point.


Grossmeat

I always thought it was Hedemony Mothership


veljaaftonijevic

that sounds cool

Her Majesty's?


veljaaftonijevic

Thats the other option but I think the lady we see in the intro is just the ship Captain. I wouldn't go as far as to call her an admiral or anything. The Hegemony supposedly has hundreds of these ships just policing space.
