Myst

Sector 131
Riven System (System 50614)
Myst (Grid 154): The eighth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Myst was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
Myst is deeply connected to its sister planet in the same system, Riven.
The first 250,000 Aeronii colonists of were hit by an epidemic of Rivenian Plague immediately after landing, which affected more than half of the population. Cyph-jah Capri, Marshal of the Aeron Fleet, built the first Aeronii biofactory on Myst to manufacture a vaccine. The Aeronii merchant marine shipped supplies to Myst which were used to create the vaccine and save the Rivenians.
Among the peculiar traits of the Mystii is the celebration of the lines and forms of ancient Aeronii technology imbued with modern technological achievements. The buildings of many of the cities look like visitors traveled back centuries, but with all the modern conveniences. This is most clearly illustrated in the planetary shuttles.
Most navigation in cities takes place by foot or in mechanized land vehicles lacking repulsorlift technology.
The capital city of
Atrus was originally built with typical Mystii architecture. However, in gratitude for alieviating the Rivenian Plague, Rivenian architects built up the core with massive towers and impressive feats of cutting-edge technology. Faethor and Galaerin Tower rise high above the city, and are the centers of Mystii government. The towers were named for Dr. Aemron Faethor (7023.43-7119.29 CE) and Dr. Jonnu Galaerin (7065.74-7171.03 CE) who found and developed the cure for the plague.
Sylorian is the center of the Mystii medical establishment, where the biofactory complex is built.
The planetary seal of Myst symbolically represents the efforts to cure the Rivenian Plague.
Capital: Atrus
