Boreas is a planet in the Outlands. It is the home planet of Catalyst and Seer. Its moon, Cleo, is the location of Broken Moon.

Description

Boreas is the second planet from the sun in the Asteria System, placing it in the same system as Petra. The planet has a robust textile industry, which led to a ubiquity of moths throughout the planet's culture, traditions, and even their superstitions. A famous folktale, "The Moth and the Flame", is well known on the planet. Conformity and efficiency guide the planet's culture.

History

In 2708, a meteor struck Cleo, the sole moon of Boreas, and shaved off a significant portion of said moon's landmass. Due to the superstitions of much of the populace, this event was quickly blamed on a "cursed child" that was born at the same time as the collision. The rapidly deteriorating condition of the moon is stated to cause many disasters on Boreas, including regular meteor showers on Boreas' surface and atmosphere, disturbances in the planet's tides, rising temperatures at the poles, plummeting temperatures at the equator, and rapidly spreading food shortages and destruction. Reports have stated that if nothing is done, Boreas will be unlivable in 50-70 years. Due to the damage, a curfew had been in place until at least 2720. The situation is handled by Cleo Recovery Council and the National Alliance of Boreas, with the help of Hammond Robotics. Some of its residents, however, question the assistance from the corporation, believing they have ulterior motives, as there were some minor mining activies conducted.

Locations

• Asteria - Presumably a city on Boreas that was destroyed during the Lymantria Fallout Collision.
• Chikuum - One of the planet's larger cities. Home of "The Foundry Arenas", where Seer participated in many Arenas matches. The "Encore" arena is located there.
• Cleo - Boreas' moon. Parts of it was destroyed when a meteor struck it in 2708. A settlement, Hope, was constructed on its surface by the Cleo Recovery Council in 2712, and a terraforming project allowed the moon to once again become habitable in 2715. Hope was later commandeered by the Mercenary Syndicate as an arena for the Apex Games.
• Nku - Presumably a city on Boreas that was destroyed during the Lymantria Fallout Collision.
