Aurus

Aurus is the former seat of power of the once-powerful Creeper Empire before its downfall in 21,200. It is now a desolate, lifeless wasteland populated by small swarms of feral mobs.
== History ==
=== Early Colonization ===
When Severin Gion gave Herobrine the blueprints for slipspace-capable starships, the Emperor of the Creepers took hold of a copy and used them to transport over ten thousand creepers to a distant star system, close to the galactic center. By releasing thousands of creeper spores into the planet's environment, the planet's atmosphere had somehow become habitable, allowing for colonization. The Emperor ordered the construction of their capital city, and it was completed within a few centuries. Following its completion, the Emperor ordered the construction of a massive fleet that would spread out to multiple star systems.
=== Imperial Inquisition ===
During the Imperial Inquisition, the Emperor chose to stay on the overpopulated world to continue the constant recruitment of troops. He hand-picked millions to be in his elite regiment known as the Emperor's Elite.
In the waning years of the war, the Alliance began to turn the tide by glassing Imperial worlds. However, this was not enough to stop the Empire, only slow its efforts. The Alliance sent a small recon team to the capital world of Aurus, and they managed to set up a protoss warp conduit to transport a massive fleet to the planet. Billions of creepers, including the Emperor, were killed. All remaining cities on the planet fell into turmoil, as creeper turned against creeper following the death of their leader. This was the case for nearly all of the Imperial worlds, as civil wars ravaged entire systems, until most of the creepers were obliterated.
=== Post-war ===
Aurus is now a desolate, lifeless wasteland, with no living residents save for a few small packs of feral creepers that aimlessly wander the infinite deserts. Much of the former landscape is covered with the ruins of the cities of old, which are now uninhabited. 
The Alliance has no reason to believe that Aurus is of any more importance, and therefore do not perform any regular surveillance checks.
