One of the many SCAF outposts abandoned to the elements. Serrano's attempts to finish the machine himself were prevented by Mahad and an accident left him unable to walk. In an effort to save the information discovered on the aliens' machine and " Rosetta", an alien specimen, Earl Serrano and his research team halved the body of Rosetta into pieces to hide. When Major General Spencer Mahad lost complete control of the situation in 2314, the Sovereign Colonies council authorized Scenario Five a "first contact" scenario that entailed the death of all parties involved with the expedition in a move to prevent hostiles from reaching the Earth. When the expedition unearthed the corpses of the aliens changed by the Necromorph organism, it wasn't long before that expedition itself succumbed to the influence of the Markers. These conditions complicated vehicular or on-foot travel for research teams and soldiers the combination of strong winds, freezing temperatures and thigh-high snow often stalling travel altogether. Now an "icy backwater planet", the environment of Tau Volantis was harsh, and visited frequently by snow storms. In the face of losing the Secession War, the Sovereign Colonies sent an expedition out to the planet in the hopes of finding the source of the seemingly unlimited Marker energy. Two million years later, in 2311, the human government known as the Sovereign Colonies discovered that the signal being perpetuated by their own Markers came from the lost planet itself. The remains of an alien next to one of their Red Markers. This feat of science and technology will hopefully reward mankind with the ultimate prize - the limitless energy that seems to emanate from the Markers, the source of which we expect to find here." - S.C.A.F. They located the source, and it proved to be the most distant point ever reached by man, Tau Volantis, here in this previously uncharted arm of the galaxy. The Ptolemy Array was built specifically to triangulate the distant signal using three Red Markers. As the Red Markers were studied, it became clear they were receiving the signal they broadcast, rather than creating it themselves. The Red Markers, sequestered safely away on distant star systems such as Aegis VII, Aspera and Proxima Centauri, among others, were themselves a mystery, as they were more grown than built.
Ġ5 February 2013 Discovery by Humanity " Tau Volantis was discovered after intense study of the Red Markers, the man-made copies based on the original alien artifact, the Black Marker. Their efforts were only half successful: the halt of the Convergence Event deep froze the planet into a frozen wasteland, leaving the final life cycle of the Necromorph life form, a sentient moon, incomplete and semi-dormant. However, what few may have resisted the call of the Marker created a Codex which would work in conjunction with a massive terraforming machine. The combined power of the Markers and the inhabitants who had fallen victim to its control triggered a Convergence Event. They seemingly worshiped the Marker and fell under its thrall.
Not dissimilar to the inhabitants of Earth, the aliens discovered a Black Marker and soon thereafter began to create copies of the device in a move to harvest its energy. Long ago it was a planet of water, its inhabitants appearing semi-aquatic in nature. Two million years ago, Tau Volantis was the home of an unidentified race of aliens.
Tau Volantis' Black Marker before initiating the Convergence Event. They eliminated themselves like a gangrenous limb, hoping to keep the infection from spreading to us." -Dr.
After Isaac and Carver have a hallucination of fighting each other, the hallucination is interrupted by another hallucination, in which the Brethren Moons reveal that they were only slowing Isaac and Carver down, and that they have known where Earth was all along.History Convergence Event " It is no wonder Tau Volantis chose self-sacrifice.
#CMS TERRA NOVA INSTALL#
He protests installing the ShockPoint Drive into the ship, because he thinks that if they install it, the Brethren Moons will follow them to Earth, and kill everyone living there. After dealing with members of the Circle, as well as their own insanity, Isaac and Carver find a new ShockPoint Drive, but Isaac is now losing his mind. However, within the halls of the old Sovereign Colonies ship, they encounter the remnants of The Circle who've taken refuge inside and begun a new following in the name of the Necromorphs. Once aboard the Terra Nova, Isaac and Carver must find a way to restore power to the derelict ship and find a new Shockpoint Drive in order to return to Earth.
