Eros Station

Location from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey

Belt asteroid station and site of the protomolecule outbreak that killed over a hundred thousand people. Protogen deliberately infected the population as an experiment. The asteroid later moved under its own power and crashed into Venus.

Also known as: Eros, Eros Station

What They Know

• Protogen deliberately released the protomolecule on Eros Station, killing over 100,000 people in a controlled experiment to study alien biotech
• The protomolecule converted the station's biomass and infrastructure into alien structures, eventually giving the asteroid the ability to move under its own power
• Miller found Julie Mao integrated into the protomolecule network at the heart of Eros and convinced her consciousness to redirect the asteroid into Venus
• Eros crashed into Venus at high velocity, seeding the planet with protomolecule that eventually constructed the Ring Gate
• Radiation levels on Eros after infection exceeded instantly lethal thresholds — anyone entering without heavy shielding died within minutes
