New Skyrim Mod Replaces Moon With Borderlands' Helios Station
A new mod for Skyrim replaces the game's moon with the Helios Station from the Borderlands series. The Helios Station is the starting point of the player's adventure in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Normally Skyrim has two moons, a larger one called Masser and a smaller one called Secunda. The phases of Skyrim's two moons are important to the culture of the Khajiit, as the sub-species of Khajiit kittens are determined by the phases of the moons on the day they are born. In contrast, Elpis is the only moon that orbits the planet Pandora in Borderlands, and it has one of the legendary Vaults hidden somewhere beneath the surface in an underground complex. However, Borderlands Vaults contain power so devastating that the purpose of the Helios Station's laser cannon is to destroy Elpis in case the Vault is at risk of falling into the wrong hands.

This isn't the first time modders have attempted to merge Skyrim with more Borderlands-like elements, for example, there are texture mods to give Skyrim the iconic cel-shaded look from Borderlands.
