Elysium is the capital of the Elysium Sector and often named the Jewel of the North because of it's staggering natural beauty. Not only does it have a lush fauna and flora, but its cities are remarkable for their iconic structures. From the early years of colonisation Elysium became a place for the wealthy and developed a significant financial sector, but not on the same levels as Cornucopia. It also hosts the Honourable Noble House of Winton, a respected noble house known for their unconditional support to the Monarch.

History
From the early colonisation years, Elysium was known for its rich people and investors. In the beginning it was a sort of vacation spot for the rich, but has become more accessible throughout its lifetime. They also implemented a large immigration program to grow different sectors. As a result their financial sector exploded and since then the Elysians lived fairly wealthy compared to other parts of the Kingdom, while maintaining their American-French origins. Although some might expect that in such situations the colony will grow more resilient to the core, Elysium had the opposite effect. This is because the local nobles were fiercely loyal to the Crown and remain as such to this day. They also host multiple festivities celebrating their migrants from the core which helped boost their economy.
The planet is governed by the Elysian Senate and the Governor as its head. Senators of voting districts are elected for 10 years contrary to the Stoinian norm. Often these Senators come from a long line of businessmen or family line. It also isn't uncommon to see noblemen within the Elysian Senate. But each Senator can be ousted by public referendum in his/hers voting district.
Although the Velutarian War was devastating, Elysium like most planets in the core were quite safe as other planets took the brunt of the Velutarian advance. This gave them much needed time for preparations when the Velutarians indeed came. Roughly two years before the end of the Velutarian War, the Velutarian had arrived unexpectedly when MacArthur was there for strategic reasons. The Battle of the Line had just been won and it looked like an offensive would come soon, but the Velutarians had caught him off-guard when they arrived at Elysium. Although MacArthur fought bravely, most of his ships weren't upgraded and were decimated by the Velutarians. Luckily Grand Admiral Corvousier had arrived with his new Infinity-class Dreadnought and cleansed Elysium's orbit of the Velutarians. Corvousier was hailed a hero and was decorated for his actions. After the war many Elysians decided to go and help rebuild the devastated worlds and where once people migrated towards, they now felt their call to migrate elsewhere.

Geography
Elysium, like Stoinia, is a rather cold planet with mountainous terrain dominating the planet. Although it has a thicker atmosphere than most planets, the Terrans live rather comfortably due to the heights they normally live. It's cities are spread throughout the planet and while they are known for their architecture Elysium holds the Spire City of Eden. Another remarkable feature of Elysium is the fact the northern lights are quite visible all over the planet. Due to its thicker atmosphere photons are easily excited and this translates in what the locals call Aurora Elysianis.
 

Fauna and Flora
Like Stoinia, Elysium holds a diverse wildlife. From large herbivores to deadly predators. Some of them are still hunted to this day, but under heavy supervision by the local Government. The most notable herbivore is the Elysian Rhino who lives in the more warmer parts of the planet. Its meat is considered a local delicacy and once hunted it can provide multiple families a year of meat. The 15 meter long behemoth is considered to be a symbol of Elysian loyalty to the Crown. On the other hand, there are the Elysian Tigers. They are quite small in size never reaching 1.4 meters in height. What they lack in size they make up in agility and teeth. The Tigers are considered to be nuisance in some regions and are actively hunted down. Especially when they use their large teeth to hunt on Nerf calves. Their teeth are considered an important trophy like Mardakii claws throughout the Kingdom.
 

Satellites
Elysium has two small moons which are used for mining operations. These moons have never been fully colonised and have been sold to private prospectors for mining operations. Their only function is to provide for the local companies and support the industries within the spire city of Eden.
