A candidate world beyond the Solar System
Official descriptions place Rivage in the 25th century, after humanity discovers VESTA: a world that may be suitable for habitation. The A.R.E.S. station orbits this candidate world, making VESTA both the mission's destination and the backdrop to Miranda's investigation.
What is confirmed
- VESTA lies beyond the Solar System.
- Humanity considers it a possible habitable world.
- A.R.E.S. operates in orbit around it.
- The station crisis and missing crew interrupt that mission.
The public material does not yet provide a complete planetary map, settlement history, or scientific catalogue. Treat VESTA as an established setting and mystery, not as a fully documented explorable planet.
Why it matters
Every station record can be read in two ways: as evidence about the crew, and as evidence about why humanity came to VESTA. Keeping those questions separate should make later story discoveries easier to place.
