The planet known as Elarion is a distant Earth-like planet in the Cygnus sector, orbiting a red dwarf star known as Kepler-1229. Earth scientists had suspected that the planet they referred to as Kepler-1229b was a habitable planet, though had not detected life there prior to the arrival of a capsule within Earth's solar system which was picked up by a joint mission of Boone Exploration and NASA.
What little is known about the people, history, and culture of Elarion has been given to Earth from the recordings which were left in this capsule along with an infant Sybil Boone. It is understood that Elarion is a totalitarian dictatorship and she was sent here by her birth parents to ensure her safety and give her a chance at a better life. The specifics of this governmental system and how far this empire reaches is unknown.
