Aurora Minor

Aurora Minor is one of the celestial bodies in orbit around the gas giant Brunswick in the Aurora System. It was discovered when the Aurora System was explored and mapped and was noted as possible of terra-forming to make it habitable to humans. Shortly after the first settlers arrived on Aurora, Aurora Minor was used as a research base for scientists and astrogators who surveyed the system. It was later used to house mine workers who operated the orbital mine stations in Brunswick orbit when it was discovered the gas giant had large amounts of rare mineral particles in the upper and central gas crust.

In 304 P.D (2765 A.D), Aurora Minor was for the first time terraformed in an organized effort by the then Tyranian government to create a new settlement for the ever growing population on Tyranis (Aurora Rex). After fourteen years the process was completed and the first settlement was created. Over time the settlements improved, multiplied and grew larger.

Today Aurora Minor has a population of nearly eleven million and serves as the primary naval base for the Auroran Royal Navy Home Fleet. It has an orbital elevator which links with the orbital stations and shipyards. It also houses a significant number of miners who operate the miner stations in Brunswick orbit which provides the raw material for fusion-reactor fuel and extract other, rare minerals and materials from the gas giant.
