[HEADING=1]Introducing Planet ARIS[/HEADING]
Greetings Colonists,
Today we’re excited to announce the launch of ARIS, a brand-new explorable moon packed with content, deadly threats, and untapped potential, developed by our new Planet Partner! ARIS is a full-fledged planet orbiting Calypso—and its sudden return marks the reawakening of a long-buried threat.
During the Great Robot Wars, ARIS was seized by robotic forces and transformed into a forward operating base for a full-scale invasion of Calypso. But before the assault could begin, something went wrong. A system failure triggered a total lockdown of the moon’s facilities—and in the process, activated its experimental stealth array. ARIS vanished without a trace.
Now, decades later, it’s back.
The robots are coming online again. Factories are reactivating. Defenses are powering up. They’re picking up the invasion of Calypso right where they left off.

The new corporation Hyperion Enterprises is in charge of the effort, and they need you to join them in the fight against the robots!

ARIS doesn’t just launch with a new area to explore, but all kinds of new items, blueprints, missions, daily dungeons, creatures, and entirely never seen before features you’ll have to discover. This single release is set to bring an entire new ecosystem for you to explore, and it will offer fresh challenges and opportunities for all types of professions:

Designed to meet the challenges of ARIS, this gear offers new options for those willing to experiment - and other equipment types may hold surprises of their own.[/li][/ul]
New Resources: Valuable creature drops and mining materials found only on ARIS unlock entirely new crafting possibilities, offering fresh opportunities for both established and emerging professions.
The main settlement, Ironhaven, is operated by Hyperion Enterprises, a previously unknown corporation now rising to prominence with help from their sponsor, Omegaton. Future expansions will include Steelrise, a second major outpost.
We can’t wait to see how you tackle this new world. Whether you’re hunting, crafting, mining, or just exploring - Hyperion needs you.

[HEADING=2]From the Desk of John Archer, Hyperion Enterprises[/HEADING]
Here is an introduction to ARIS from the CEO of Hyperion Enterprises:
Hello Colonists!
I’m John Archer, CEO of Hyperion Enterprises. If you haven’t heard of us before now, you’re not alone. We’ve spent most of our existence behind the scenes, handling the kind of work that rarely makes headlines but keeps the system running.
That changed the day something appeared just beyond Calypso’s orbit. A moon, hidden for years by advanced stealth systems and lost since the Great Robot Wars, suddenly revealed itself. A forgotten battlefield. A robotic stronghold. We call it ARIS—the Autonomous Robot Invasion System—and whatever the machines were building out there, it is coming back online.
With initial support from Omegaton, we secured a foothold on the surface: Ironhaven. But what we’ve found is bigger than any one company can handle. ARIS is vast, dangerous, and still very much active. Sealed factories are reawakening. Defense systems are coming online. The machines are rebuilding-and they’re continuing right where they left off!
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for fighters, miners, and crafters—people ready to stand against the machines and help us take control of ARIS. This isn’t just another contract. It’s the front line of a war we can’t afford to lose.
And with risk comes reward. Rare resources. Experimental tech. Secrets buried for decades. If you’ve got what it takes, there’s plenty to gain-and a real chance to make a difference.
ARIS won’t wait. And neither can we. Let’s take it back, together.
