First Contact: Galactic Fossil Research - Arthropleura Ferris

Location: Aurigae Solar System
Moon: Erythra Ferris
Discovery Team: Foundryon Universe Mission
Designation: Arthropleura Ferris Galactic Fossil

Mindblowing Imagery

Before the star of the Aurigae system flickered into its end, a metallic heartbeat thrummed through the geyser fields of Erythra Ferris. Foundryon Universe Mission Control transmits stunning images. The now called Arthropleura Ferris remaines a ghost in the machine of the cosmos - a silent, ferrum-based titan whose skeletal remains defied the laws of traditional biology. Today, the silence ends. A new chapter of the Large Galactic Fossil series has been unearthed, dragging a 40-segmented mindblowing ferro-fossilized remains of creature out of the Foundryon One -red sands and into the light of modern documentation.

Cousin of the Earthly Carboniferous

This is no mere astrogeological curiosity; it is a direct uplink to a prehistoric era that shouldn't exist. Spanning a compact yet dense 40cm, this galactic fossil is a symphony of articulated steel formations that echo the ancient, skittering horrors of Earth’s Carboniferous period, but with a cold, cosmic twist. Whether these metallic leviathans first crawled from the iron-rich crust of Erythra Ferris or descended from the mystery-shrouded Aurigae f B remains the greatest unsolved puzzle in the entire mission. For the hunters of the Foundryon Relic Hunt, this isn’t just a discovery - it’s a call to arms to catalog a species that breathed stardust and left behind a spine of iron.

Discovery of Exoplanetary Vertebrae Species

A new chapter opens in the Large Galactic Fossil series with the documentation of Arthropleura Ferris. Composed of 40 naturally segmented steel formations, spanning 40x19x10 cm and weighing around 5 kilograms, this relic reveals a complex, articulated structure whose patterns echo forms found in prehistory, yet with a distinctly cosmic origin.

Origins and Cosmic Mystery

Arthropleura Ferris traces its existence to the Aurigae solar system, though its precise origins remain unresolved. Scientists continue to debate whether these species emerged first on Erythra Ferris or Aurigae f B, or if they evolved independently across both worlds.

The traces we observe are linked to ferrum-based exoskeletons, reminiscent—though abstractly—of the prehistoric Arthropleura known from Earth. Evidence of these beings has been found around the geyser fields of Erythra Ferris’ moon, where fossilized segments suggest lifeforms that once navigated volatile, mineral-rich environments. The relic’s name, Arthropleura Ferris, reflects this connection between terrestrial memory and alien origin.

Structure and Form

Each of the 40 segments forms part of a continuous, articulated spine, capturing the fragmented memory of an extinct lifeform. Its arrangement is neither engineered nor designed, it is a record of existence, a fossil preserved in steel. Observing the relic offers glimpses into the movement, scale, and rhythm of a species whose biology and environment remain largely unknowable.

This object is not just a discovery - it is a piece of the galaxy’s untold history, waiting for curious minds to interpret, catalog, and safeguard. Those who encounter Arthropleura Ferris are encouraged to share discoveries, document alignments, and participate in the ongoing Relic Hunt, connecting its story to the larger cosmic web.

Continuing the Research

Arthropleura Ferris raises more questions than it answers. Was this species native to Erythra Ferris, or did it migrate from Aurigae f B? How did its ferrum-based skeleton function under alien conditions? Each segment is a piece of a puzzle that spans worlds and millennia, a relic holding memory in its cold, metallic spine.

Explorers and chroniclers are invited to record, observe, and share—adding their own logs to the history of the species and its fragmented traces. The relic awaits those willing to look, interpret, and document.
