Auric Halo
Overview
Auric Halo
The inner moon of Khesret-Prime — tide-locked, copper-bright, and never quiet. Auric Halo is where the sphere refines what Prime digs: open-pit nickel terraces, mag-rail ore trains that never sleep, and executive arcologies perched above the smog like they invented oxygen.
A billion people live in the halo's banded cities — shift workers in the pits, lodge mages on retainer for flare-dampening, brokers who sell berth futures three months out. The air tastes like hot metal and subsidized coffee. Shuttle traffic to Prime runs every twenty minutes and still feels like a cattle call.
Hunters with R2 clearance get the interesting postings here: corp-adjacent arrests, astral breach teams, and the kind of quiet collections that come with NDAs thicker than hull plate.
