Far from Cybertron lies the organic world of Elonia, capital of the Solstar Order and the homeworld of the Elonian species. An idyllic world notable for its scientific and technological advances, Elonia is also the birthplace of Rom and the most important planet in the Solstar Order's war against the villainous Dire Wraiths—without the unique ore mined on Elonia, the Space Knights would lose their most important edge against their deceitful foes.
