Ceres

== Introduction ==
Ceres is a rocky planet within the main asteroid belt that orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8 astronomical units.
== Observations ==
=== Discovery ===
The planet was first discovered in 1801 by a man named Giuseppe Piazzi at the Palermo Astronomical Observatory.
=== Colonization efforts ===
==== First attempt ====
One space-carrier was sent out in 2353 named the Aurora Star in an effort to colonize Ceres, however, the ship lost fuel halfway through its 3 year journey and shortly thereafter the crew died due to low oxygen.
==== Second attempt ====
Despite the failure of the first attempt, the people of Earth decided to try again, this time giving the ship, the Aurora Star II, more fuel and oxygen. Designers of the ship also made it a lot more spacious and in 2372, the ship was launched from Earth into space and successfully touched down on Ceres in 2376. The humans then set up the first Ceresenic colony, Aurora Star, named for the ship they had traveled on.
=== Classifications ===
The Monkys of Kepler-186f designate the planet as "Alegedosinecona", and Earth designates it as Ceres.
== Description ==
=== Infrastructure ===
==== City structure ====
The cities are mostly made of a variety of materials, most Ceresenic cities are covered by a thick and strong dome of glass that is almost impenetrable.
==== Road structure ====
The roads, mostly highways, are usually connecting each city to another and are pretty much located everywhere on Ceres. The longest highway being the Ceres-1 Highway, wrapping around the equator of Ceres.
== History ==
=== Proposed terraformations ===
There have been multiple suggestions to terraform Ceres, however most have been declined due to the fact that the planet really doesn't need to be terraformed.
=== Use for military training ===
Ceres has also been a major military training facility, being orbited by the Onyx Main Belt Facility, which has trained over one million soldiers for combat.
