• Type: Site (cemetery)
• Location: 500 m west of the town wall of New Kourou, Asari Region

On 9 May 2625 the Settler’s Council voted to create a traditional, soil-based burial ground so that ExoHumans — after generations in space — could finally “return their dead to the earth of their new home.” Clearing began within days, and New Horizon’s Rest Cemetery opened on 18 July 2625. Until its closure in 2631 the 1 500 m² plot served as the only sanctioned burial site for the settlement of New Kourou, ultimately receiving 147 graves. Dense Tropical Forest has since reclaimed the grounds; by the Gamma Age overgrown tombstones protrude like quiet relics among vines and broad-leaf trees.

• Established: July 2625
• Clearing Work: ≈ 45 mature trees and surrounding underbrush felled by Penal-Labour crews and two Manual Labor Bots
• Foot-print: 1 500 m² (roughly 30 m × 50 m)
• Operational Period: 18 July 2625 – 8 April 2631
• Interments: 147 individuals (64 soldiers of the Volunteer Army of Man, 83 civilians)
• Peak Burials: 30 in 2629 and 34 in 2630 during the Great War
• Current Status: Abandoned; re-wilded during the Gamma Age

• First “earth-return” rite: Marked a shift from starship composting to terrestrial burial, symbolising settlers’ claim to the planet.
• Martial memorial: The rows of 2629–2630 soldier graves became a rallying image in wartime propaganda.
• Political fault line: Its location outside New Kourou’s walls later violated the Gamma Age Peace Treaty, turning the grounds into forbidden land and a touch-stone for Individualist nostalgia.

• Clearing and fence-setting were accomplished by mixed Penal-Labour crews under Guarding-Trooper watch, with Manual Labor Bots hauling timber. Modest headstones—cut from local basalt—stood in neat files, each engraved with name, date of arrival, and a stylised starship emblem.
• When the Free State dissolved on 8 April 2631 the cemetery ceased operation; families were barred from visiting by treaty clause, and new deaths reverted to ship-era composting protocols. Without caretakers, tropical creepers engulfed the markers within a decade. Today only broken basalt slabs and rusted gate hinges hint at the once-solemn field.

• Beta-Age Adventure: “Grave of the Unknown Pilot” — players escort a dead body through hostile forest to make the last burial before the treaty closure.

• Gamma-Age Hook: “Roots of Remembrance” — Individualists plan an illegal memorial rally inside the overgrown grounds; PCs must decide whether to aid, spy, or prevent a new conflict with nearby Native patrols.
