Aleria, also known as Elduros II,[2] is the second and outermost planet in the Elduros system and an impoverished Outer Colony on the frontier of human space. The planet was once a thriving Outer Colony famed for its rich ore deposits and robust economy, but Aleria's increasingly inhospitable climate and governmental mismanagement eventually led to an economic collapse.[2][6]
Now cut off from the Unified Earth Government, Aleria is a dry and desolate Third World colony ruled by courier guilds, groups of desperate and dangerous smugglers and pirates.[2][7]
Overview[edit]
Environmental features[edit]
Aleria was once a fertile planet[3] well-regarded for its rich mineral deposits, but failed terraforming efforts and the instability of Elduros has caused a planetwide drought and rain has not fallen in over a century.[1][2] Now a dry and desolate world,[2] Aleria's soil has since become barren and infertile,[3] as the planet's rivers and lakes rapidly receded after decades without rainfall.[1] Much of the planet's surface had turned to desert,[3] and Aleria had become a notoriously dusty world,[8][9] similar to Talitsa.
The century-long drought has caused Aleria to become a warm world, with temperatures uncomfortable even to some Alerians.[8][9] The maximum daytime temperature on Aleria is 33 degrees Celsius.[1] With year on year warming, it was believed that Aleria would become uninhabitable prior to 2580.[5]
