Searhus

❌ Searhus was intended to be the fourth continent to be added to Auraxis, following Amerish. The map was announced in the October of 2012, during an interview with ZAM by then-Senior Art Director Trammel Ray Issac, and mentioned again in the February of 2014 by then-Community Manager Margaret "Luperza" Krohn on Episode 57 of Friday Night Ops.

During the interview with ZAM, Isaac indicated Searhus would be a volcanic continent, which suggested an intention to follow the same design as the continent's original appearance in PlanetSide. No additional information has been revealed about the continent since, however, and it has presumably been cancelled.

Lore
Searhus is mentioned in a series of PS2 Chronicles released in the October of 2011.

The first chronicle is a detailing of Terran Quartermaster Jake Duffy as he prepares to ship weaponry to Searhus, to aid in combating New Conglomerate insurgents seeking to retake the Kane Prison Compound near Mount Lavastorm.

He orders his subordinate, Private Genny Jones, to ensure that 115 mini chain guns, two crates of bolt drivers, cyclers, and repeater pistols, as well as dome blasters, are loaded onto a Galaxy bound for Searhus.

On a Galaxy heading to Serahus, Duffy recants the situation over earphone to a section of troops, including Private Jones, now aboard the dropship informing them that an outcome where the insurgents retook the compound would end in New Conglomerate forces equaling the Terrans in raw numbers.

Remembering his experience with a young soldier excited to go off to war, Duffy gives a silent prayer in thought of the soldiers with no experience of war, wishing their safe return. Then, accepting the reality of the war, he turns to another Private, Ben Davids, and repeats similar orders to those he had given Jones earlier.

The second chronicle mentioning Searhus is of Sandy Jones, Chief of Research and Development for the Vanu Sovereignty on Cyssor.

Private Genny Jones, as first mentioned in Quartermaster Duffy's story, turns out to have been the sister of Chief Jones, and has informed Sandy of the conflict erupting on Searhus over Kane Prison Compound. After much deliberation on each of the two sibling's reason for fighting, Sandy listens in on a news report detailing the events on the volcanic continent, where the battle has erupted, truly beginning the war on Auraxis.

Chief Jones fears for the life of his sister, with the report detailing the usage of weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield, the death toll quickly rising, as communications with Searhus are lost in the fighting.

The final chronicle follows Master Sergeant Joe Walsh of the New Conglomerate on the receiving end of a Terran ambush on Searhus, near Mt. Lavastorm.

In the chronicle, Walsh's unit are faltering in their attempts to hold a ridge of Mount Lavastorm, and during attempts to advance they are further ambushed by Terran forces lurking in a nearby crevice. As they unsuccessfully return fire in an attempt to retreat, the few survivrs manage to take cover behind a rocky outcropping and use their Phoenix missile launchers to beat off their assailants from the safety of cover.
