Details
Auri is a dim and volatile red dwarf, with its surface frequently flaring with magnetic storms and violent coronal mass ejections. Auri emits a sullen, reddish glow that saturates its planets in perpetual twilight. Its highly elliptical orbit around Geminae stretches across a large distance and only brings the two systems close enough for practical transit once every 23 years, during a narrow window lasting around a year. However, for the rest of the time, Auri is isolated, both geographically and politically.
This isolation has greatly influenced the system's development. With no continuous support from the Tellune Government, colonization efforts have been primarily led by corporations and driven by profit. Private prospectors and enterprise-backed ventures control most of the infrastructure, from orbital habitats to surface mining outposts. The only presence of the Tellune government is a large and well-staffed embassy station in orbit around one of Thetis' moons, which holds little sway in Auri. Instead, Auri has become a frontier economy ruled by corporations, contractor pacts, and nonaligned enterprises operating under loose code-of-conduct agreements.
Despite the risks, unpredictable flares, and slow reinforcement cycles, the potential rewards are undeniable. The discovery of Phoron on Cinis triggered a modern-day gold rush, attracting not only corporations but also mercenary crews and opportunists of every stripe. The arrival of the Platshållare and the adoption of Mothish supermatter technology further cemented Auri's role as a volatile but promising sister to Geminae: untamed, underregulated, and overflowing with potential.

Auri 1 - Cinis
Details
Cinis, also known as "Lavaland," lives up to its name with rivers of molten rock carving through blackened plains under a perpetually dark sky. Ash clouds roll in cyclonic storms, raising surface temperatures to over 700 °C, forcing explorers to seek shelter in heat-resistant pods or face a painful death. The planet's thin CO² atmosphere offers little comfort to those with Tellune-borne lungs.
The native reptilian clans view outsiders as invaders, and any friendly tribes have long since departed for the stars, leaving behind only the most violent and isolationist clans. This, combined with the presence of deadly megafauna, turns every expedition into the ashfields into a test of sheer will. Compact pods, mining equipment doubling as robust weaponry, and emergency Fulton beacons serve as lifelines against both tribal ambushes and rampaging monstrosities.
Despite its deadly beauty, Cinis boasts the system's only confirmed Phoron veins. Nanotrasen's Space Station 13 now looms above the planet, ready to send regular mining expeditions to the surface below. The potential profits here far outweigh the risks; every gram of Phoron is incredibly valuable, and Space Station 13 is poised to become the crown jewel of Auri's frontier boom.
