**Signus**, also known as The Core and once known as Charles III, was the capital of the Aurulent Empire for all of its life. It was colonized at around 0 SIC by the humans aboard the Charles III Seed Ship led by Trasolidees Petriok. It was a planet spanning city filled with various infrastructure and government buildings. The planet experienced numerous boons which escalated it far above any planet, one of which was it being the home of The Torridon, the capital building of the Aurulent Empire. Another was that it was the apparent ancestral home of all Imperial humans. Although this fact is entirely incorrect, it still helped create a positive aura. Another boon to its wealth and power was its connection to multiple well used trade routes, one of which being titled the Orion Path.

## Description

### Landscape

The planet, being a Temperate Canyon world, is covered in ravines, both large and small. A few, like the Viacara Ravine, were visible from space. Rivers ran along the canyons into larger bodies of water such as Lake Verie and the North Sea.

## History

### Pre-SIC

Long before the Seed Ship landed on Signus, it was an inhabitable outskirt planet of the True Parity named Charles III. It was, in fact, about to be colonized by the True Parity before The Extinction waylaid plans. The planet was then ignored for years while the conflict raged. After the destruction of Dion and the shattering of the Parity, Operation:Finale was enacted across numerous worlds and systems, one of which being Charles III(Signus). Charles III became a battleground for desperate Parihitauri attempting to distract the Tachyons long enough for the Operation to be completed. After The Regulation, Seed Ships were launched throughout the galaxy to repopulate it, and one eventually landed on Charles III. Unknown to all, a single Parihitauri Soldier survived the Regulation due to being far enough away from the Regulation Wave. The sole survivor of the intragalactic civilization was Trasolidees Petriok.

### 0 SIC

Roughly 300 years after The Regulation and the destruction of the Parity, the Seed Ship finally arrived on Charles III. Trasolidees had been in a comatose state for much of that time, but the arrival of the ship woke him. Rising from his slumber, he approached the ship, which sat in unnaturally flat terrain. The Hundred Humans already disembarked, but were idly wandering around the ship. The group, once they caught sight of the injured parihitauri Trasolidees, flocked to him and bombarded him with questions. It quickly became clear to both sides that the Parity was gone. At that, Trasolidees broke down as the full weight of the Extermination fell on him. He retreated to his resting place, which was towards the back of an enormous battlefield. He was going to lay down and die there, but a human boy managed to convince the crushed parihitauri to rise and help create a settlement.

### The Aurulent Empire

Trasolidees truly entered the politics and construction of the human society and assisted them in any way he could. He retrieved any information he could from the Seed Ship's databases and used that and the ruins from the minuscule colonization efforts to fabricate a basic Neutrogen Refinery. He and the humans utilized the quite inefficient(in comparison to Electrogen) energy source to create a thriving community. At this point, Trasolidees was content with leaving his quarry and retiring his position on the Council of Charles III, but the other Councilors of the Council turned to him for their next step. Together, with the new addition of Vyre Fordia, they held a meeting to discover the community's next step. Vyre proposed expansion past the Hilltrow Region, which was met with skepticism from a few and jubilation from others. The debate raged for hours on end, ending with a 4-4 vote. The tie-breaker would belong to Trasolidees. He voted in favor of expansion, surprising the supporters of it. Following this meeting, Vyre caught a fatal brain disease and died afterwards. In mourning, Trasolidees proposed a governmental change. His speech to the council was triumphant and victorious, labeling their upstart society as a faction of providence. He told the Councilors that he would lead the People of Charles III into a new age, the age of The Aurulent Empire.
