Iro
Iro is the fourth major moon of Aurora and second largest moon in the Helios system. Roughly the same size as Tir, it is significantly less dense and completely geologically inactive. Iro’s icy surface is heavily cratered and dark, with significant ring complexes from former asteroid impacts. It is the only major moon of Aurora to hold a retrograde orbit to its primary body, evidence that Iro is a captured moon.
Iro was discovered by Electrican astronomers who discovered it in tandem with Orionite. The name Iro was chosen to represent the mythical Iro, said to have united the ancient Electroy Kingdoms to defeat the Antler’s of Alason. Iro has been rarely visited, most recently by the Anterian Sunder 52 mission. Due to its unique orbit and capture, Iro has been extensively studied by astrophysicists who have used its orbit to determine the early history of the Helios system.
