Eridani Prime is hence famous for its nightly light shows, though they are hazardous to landing craft. The allure of little pre-colonization preparation attracted colonial planners, and withing the opening months of the 2120s Eridani Prime became a major population center for the Earth empire. Allegations of ruins beneath the surface belonging to other civilizations have driven generations of archeological teams to the great deserts, but with thousands of kilometers of surface to cover they haven't made much progress yet.
