The extraterrestrial planet Timoron was selected for a class expedition for Dr. Panter's planetary exploration class at the University of Mars, Candor Cliffs. The Brio, under Counselor Ligili changed that when she requested Gil and Cari Morrison join them in building a new colony there as a long-term backup for their new planet Birenso. Some humans decided there was merit in having a place out beyond Mars as a multicultural colony where a few humans could interact with and learn beside Brio and a few Canth. Geoff Blackmon tasked Gil and Cari to undertake this new colony.
