Elmore

A small Human colony in the Wolf 359 system, Elmore was first established in 2185 as a mine and research colony and one of the first planets visited by Humans. In 2192 some of the residents reported the Centuri Colonies Programme members staging a military coup; however the incident was disregarded as false.

Elmore itself is moonless and consists of mostly dry tundra and volcanic regions, while little life existed, most in the form of simple grasses and mosses and the atmosphere consisting of mostly carbon monoxide, was heavily mined and later terraformed by the late 26th century.

In 2979 Elmore was attacked by the Niphori when the Order of Tameph accused Humans of hiding members of the Niphori Freethought Movement who they there claimed were 'terrorists', the resulting war, known as the Battle of Elmore was short but heavy in casualties from both sides, Titus Richardson, Syrius' father fought at the Battle of Elmore.

Modern Elmore is a hot planet and most of its cities are built along the edges of artificial rivers and crater oceans. Elmore was also a stage for hybridising various plant species from various other worlds including life from Earth, Sylvrex and Antora.

Elmore was likely named after astronomer Frank Elmore Ross.
