Athenas

Athenas was a planet which was home to the Order of the Impending Storm.

History
Athenas and the Order were once ruled by the Siren Queen Dido.

A monastery was built around its Promethea Vault Key fragment by monks who believed the artifact to be sacred. It was surrounded by Eridian protections, and only an extremely powerful Siren would be able to open it. This was kept secret from outsiders for generations.

After discovering the Promethea Vault, Atlas sent Typhon Deleon on a peace envoy to the planet, but also sent spies to steal Eridian artifacts. Dido confronted Typhon, who was previously unaware of Atlas' betrayal, and asked if he had any final requests before his execution. He asked for one last dance, to which she obliged, and subsequently kissed him. The two then began a relationship.

Typhon stayed on the planet for a few more years until Queen Dido passed away. After her death, some monks from the Order took charge, offering money to Typhon to bring another Siren to them. He refused, and left the planet entirely, never to return.

Eventually, a baby named Maya was left with the Order. Brother Sophis and the other monks trained her for nearly twenty-seven years under the guise of needing her to protect the planet. Maya had doubts about her destiny, and planned on leaving to seek out more Siren knowledge from Pandora, but was denied permission. When Sophis and Brother Harker instructed her to kill men who had not payed their tythes, it became clear that they were simply using her strength to subdue the population. Maya rebelled, killed Sophis, and left for Pandora.

During the rise of the Children of the Vault, Maliwan forces invaded the planet in an attempt to seize its Vault Key fragment. Due to the monks' oath of non-violence, Maya was alone in protecting it until the Crimson Raiders sent the Vault Hunters to assist.
