Aquarius

Aquarius was a series of colonization missions to Cetrilles, consisting of five different colonies named "Aquarius" followed by a number (in Roman numerals) signifying its construction in chronological order. These missions were run by STaN, who also worked with other companies and governments for the first three missions. The last two were completely independent.

Aquarius I
Aquarius I was the first of the Aquarius missions, initiated by Arthur Freesol on July 6th, 2095. Partial funding came from the nations of Pallando and Zentri, as well as major corporations including Feris Tech and Saga Industries. A team of fourteen colonists arrived on July 8th of the same year and managed to get a full mile2 colony running by the end of the month. The colony specialized in planetary research as well as agriculture. Despite its prosperity, however, the colony was disbanded in 2112 after emergency orders from The Overseer.

Aquarius II
Aquarius II was the second mission initiated by Arthur Freesol, with the crew of twelve arriving on September 28th, 2096. This colony prioritized its time focusing on scientific studies and research of different inhospitable planets in the Menaii Star System. The colony was disbanded in 2112 after emergency orders from The Overseer.

Aquarius III
Aquarius II was the third mission initiated by Arthur Freesol on March 9th, 2099. It had no real original crew from outside the planet, but took various crew members from the first two Aquarius colonies. Aquarius III focused with mining into the planet's crust, with rumors of a rare, expensive material. Two years after being founded, it was absorbed into the larger, more populous, Aquarius V.

Aquarius IV
Founded by Andrew Freesol, the Aquarius IV mission arrived on Cetrilles on 2100, focusing on mining and refining certain special materials found in the planet's crust. The colony was extinguished the next year following an attack by STaN soldiers.
