The other planet...

So I know how Auraxis is supposed to be the only nearby planet that was "easily" Terra-formed enough for them to settle on when they came through the wormhole but in it seems to have a moon with greenery and water?

So whats the deal about that?

Auraxis was the first. Lore puts the discovery of Auraxis during the 2600's I believe. The current date should be sometime in the 2800's, 1000 years after the American Civil War (see what I did there?)

EDIT: And for the record, the English colonization of America is generally calculated as beginning in the 1600's (it more accurately begins in the very late 1500's but the link is still there.)

My question was more that I wondered if anyone knew what the planet you can see in a lot of the screen-shots is for a planet. You can clearly see that it has water on its surface so how does that fit into the lore or if that is a gaffe?

I doubt they'd be able to find one and not the other... I read through the lore to ask this

There is no lore on that other planet. Auraxis is all that matters right now. That world might be explored at a later date when SOE is ready to take the game into space.

When the Auraxis Star system was discovered the only planet that supported "Human life" was Auraxis. For all you know it might have an atmosphere but not an oxygen based one. Also for all you know that water could be acid :P

Easily explained yet scientifically plausible. +1 good sir.
