One of the southern constellations, Orion
The constellation Orion is one of multiple others observable in the southern night sky. It consists of 22 main stars and a total of 38 Bayer designated stars. The stars form a hunter, which can be seen in-game.
When Orion is fully unlocked the Stardust production speed is increased by x2 for Late Stage (Stars).
In-Game Description[]
In-game icon
"The hourglass shape of Orion, the Hunter, is so striking that the star pattern figures in many of the world’s oldest cultures, perhaps even those of early humans. It rises seasonally, visible north of the equator for half the year and south for the other half."

Achievement[]
- Hot Blue Belt (Finished Orion):
"Three blue stars in a tidy row form Orion’s belt. Alnitak (“Girdle” in Arabic), Alnilam (“String of Pearls”), and Mintaka (“Belt”) travel as a trio because they were born in the same gas cloud. Massive and bright, they will die young and dazzling, as supernovas."
