From this facility they launched observatation satellites, firing them into the heavens toward distant worlds. These satellites returned information that allowed them to analyze the various phenomena occuring across the cosmos. Through this process they were able to satisfy their intellectual appetite, one planet at a time. One day, a Chozo Searcher happened upon a very rare discovery. A once-thought-lost satellite delivered information on a distant world. It was incredibly far away, even by Chozo reckoning. Study of the stellar object revealed that it was, in many ways, a planet - and yet also sentient. Alive. This chance event was brief, and the information being collected was lost before the true identity of the planet was revealed.|[[SkyTown Data#Discovery|SkyTown Data - Discovery]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref> A [[Chozo Researcher]] discovered an [[Phaaze|unknown planet]] that was extremely far away, even in Chozo measureents.

<ref>{{cite|In the year 400 of Elysian reckoning, the time for our Chozo creators to leave had arrived. To us they entrusted the station and its purpose. We were to stand vigil and watch over the station until the time when others seeking knowledge and enlightment arrived. With their departure came one last request from the Chozo Searcher - to continue exploring the skies for the answers to the mysterious planet. We gave her our word and resumed her tireless search. Day after day we hunted for the answers she desperately sought, but our efforts yielded nothing. We failed.|[[SkyTown Data#Alone|Sky Town Data - Alone]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref> The Chozo then departed to the Planet [[Tallon IV]], and was there that a [[Leviathan|massive object]] [[Metroid Prime (game)#Plot|collided into the planet]]. This was recorded by the Elysians as they were in stasis 200 years after their creators' departure, caused by the lack of critical supplies, and stored in their memories in "dreams".<ref>{{cite|By the year 600, we of Elysia were low on critical supplies and fuel. We created smaller mechanoids to process fuel from the atmosphere of Elysia, but they proved unable to produce a sufficient supply. Unable to secure the necessary resources to sustain ourselves, we entered a state of hibernation to preserve our remaining stores of energy and parts. While we slumbered, the data collected by the station's equipment was fed to us in dreams.|[[SkyTown Data#Slumber|SkyTown Data - Slumber]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref>  

1035 years after the Chozo left SkyTown, the [[Galactic Federation]] Fleet approached the Planet and triggered the Elysians' defense systems, ultimately ending their stasis.<ref name="Federation"/> As the Elysians prepared for battle, the Federation communicated with them and declared themselves to be coming in peace. A [[Treaty of Elysia|Treaty]] was made, and the two organizations cooperated together and created an age of prosperity for the Elysians.<ref name="Federation"/> The Federation granted the Elysians supplies, [[Fuel Gel|fuel]], and parts, and in return, they allowed the Federation to use SkyTown's scientific systems and learn a great deal of knowledge from their databanks.<ref name="Agreement">{{cite|The treaty brought with us new supplies, fuel, and parts from the Federation. In return, we allowed them to use Elysia Station as they saw fit. They were glad to use the station's powerful scientific systems, and gleaned a great deal of knowledge from our databanks. Unfortunately, the harsh atmosphere of our world was dangerous for the Federation researchers. They proposed to replace the humanoids with a single artificial intelligence unit, which they called Aurora.|[[SkyTown Data#Agreement|SkyTown Data - Agreement]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref> SkyTown's conditions in the sky were too dangerous for humans, however, and the Federation was forced to extract all of the humans and implant an [[Aurora Unit]] into the station's network, [[Aurora Unit 217|217]].<ref name="Agreement"/> 217 controlled the SkyTown facility, as well as the Elysians themselves. Throughout the next 65 years, the Elysians aided 217 and the Federation in research.<ref>{{cite|Aurora was placed within one of our floating pods and connected into the station's network. This connection allowed Aurora to control not only the facility, but us as well. Our link allowed us to reap the benefits of the Aurora's own connection to the Federation's Aurora network. The units were capable of communicating with one another regardless of the distance, and vast amounts of information were passed down to us. As the years went by we aided the Aurora and our Federation allies in their research. We studied potential enemy threats and collected data on their activities. It was, in some small way, a means to atone for our inability to help our creators years ago. Through our alliance with the Federation, we were able to prevent many disasters, and bring an end to numerous threats in the cosmos. We are not certain if that was what our creators would have wished to happen, but it certainly was a peaceful life.|[[SkyTown Data#Aurora|SkyTown Data - Aurora]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref> One of these reseasrch studies was on the [[Leviathan|meteor]] impact on the [[Space Pirate Homeworld]], which was then found out to be a link to the unknown planet. 65 years after the Aurora Unit's connection, it was infected by an unknown virus.<ref>{{cite|It was approximately 5 months ago that our systems detected a meteor-like object collide with a planet in a nearby galaxy. The impact was followed by a spreading corruption identical to the one we saw devour our creators' planet. More so than ever, we were determined to aid the Aurora and discover the source of these objects. Months passed before we could uncover its origin-it had come through a wormhole from an incredibly distant planet. We studied this link between the tear in space and the location it was connected to. As we delved deeper it became clear that this was the mysterious planet the Chozo Searcher had been seeking. The living planet was aggressively attacking the other worlds, hurtling parts of itself across the cosmos like missiles. We had finally discovered the source of these corrupted meteors. It was about one month ago that we made our revelation, but all attempts at transmitting the critical data to the Federation were unsuccessful. It appeared that the Aurora Unit had become disabled. We tried desperately to restore the Aurora but, it had been corrupted by an unknown virus. Our only means of communication with the Federation was severed.|[[SkyTown Data#Loss|SkyTown Data - Loss]]|''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''}}</ref>

Bounty Hunter Samus Aran was soon commissioned by the Galactic Federation to carry out Ghor's duty and inject the vaccine into Aurora Unit 217. She successfully did so as well as defeat Ghor himself. She then recieved word from 217 that components to a [[Theronian Bomb]] were placed across SkyTown, and she set off to locate and assemble them. She did so, and dropped it on the Leviatha Shield with her [[Ship Grapple Beam]], and defeated [[Helios]] and destroyed the Leviathan, ridding SkyTown of Phazon once and for all.

Every creature of SkyTown is an Elysian mechanoid, although Xenoresearch Labs contain [[Metroid|Phazon Metroids]] that were stationed there by the Space Pirates.
