Aurion (Kepler-452b)

Planet / Colony

Aurion, located in the Enera system around Kepler-452, is humanity’s first re-established colony following the crew’s arrival aboard the Aurora. The planet—lush, temperate, and Earth-like—was once the site of a thriving human civilization that collapsed centuries before the Aurora’s arrival. Its surface now bears the remains of that lost era: vine-covered ruins, shattered synthglass structures, and remnants of advanced technology that hint at both extraordinary progress and sudden downfall.

When Captain Aveline Morrow ordered the deployment of the new colony, the mission’s tone shifted from survival to renewal. Specialists in agriculture, medicine, and engineering were awakened from stasis to rebuild society from the ground up. As the first descent pods broke through Aurion’s atmosphere, they illuminated the sky like falling stars—a symbol of hope marking humanity’s return to the world it once lost. Under Morrow’s leadership, the colony became the foundation for a new Federation, uniting humans and Synthians through cooperation and shared purpose.

Aurion’s most striking feature is its balance between haunting beauty and technological legacy. Vast plains stretch beneath a golden sun, Enera, while the planet’s scattered ruins conceal dormant archives and automated systems from the original colonists. Today, Aurion serves not only as humanity’s new home but as the symbolic heart of its rebirth—a living bridge between the civilization that fell and the one determined to rise in its place.
