Luna[1], known colloquially as the Moon, was Earth's only natural satellite. It was the first extraterrestrial location to be colonized by mankind.[2] The United Americas and other governments and corporations operated multiple colonies on Luna. The United Americas founded two main settlements: Plymouth and Olympia. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation also had major headquarters in the Sea of Tranquillity region.[3]
History[]
Terraforming of Luna began in 2031.[4]
On January 7, 2094, an outbreak of XMB Virus on Earth's moon forced the Olympia colony on Luna to be quarantined for sixteen years. Advanced treatments allowed for anyone testing negative to leave the colony, and the virus was eventually expunged by April 18, 2110. Although never proven, evidence suggested that the Earthsavers were responsible.
