The Viceroyalty of the New Aurean (Gaullican: Vice-royaume des Auréennes), also known as the Viceroyalty of the Arucian (Vice-royaume de l'Arucien) and informally as the Viceroyalty of the Golden Isles (Vice-royaume des Îles d'Or) after 1885, was an administrative organisation of Gaullican colonies which spanned over several islands in the Arucian Sea.

The first Gaullican colony in the region was the Colony of Sainte-Chloé, which was formally founded in 1507 after temporary settlements had been made. With the development of Port de la Sainte as the first colonial city in the Asterias, the Viceroyalty was created in 1517 to oversee all Gaullican colonial affairs in the region. The colony was focused on the island of what would be known as Sainte-Chloé, but also grew to encompass many of the islands in the Eastern Arucian. Wars during the 18th and 19th centuries saw the islands of Imagua and Carucere and St. Casmir incorporated into the Viceroyalty for various periods. After the War of the Arucian in 1885, the Eastern Arucian islands were included in the Viceroyalty of the Emerald Isles. By the end of the Great War, the forces of the Grand Alliance occupied the viceroyalty, establishing the successor Arucian Federation from the former administration of the Arucian.

The Theme of Sainte-Chloé (Théme de Sainte-Chloé), known as the Colony of Sainte-Chloé (Gaullican: Colonie de Sainte Chloé) from 1507 to 1517 and informally as the Department of Sainte-Chloé (Département de Sainte-Chloé), was a Gaullican colony from 1507 to 1934 on the island of Sainte-Chloé and the surrounding islands of Sainte-Geneviève and the Sainte Trinité. It was one of the first and most important Gaullican colonies in the Asterias, and was known as the "Gateway to the Asterias" based on its strategic value and trade centre and as the "Joyau de l'Arucian" (the "Jewel of the Arucian") for its wealth and beauty. It was also the administrative centre of the wider Viceroyalty, and the Viceroy also served as the executive of the colony.

The island was discovered by Auguste de Antibes in 1498, who gave the island its name, but major Gaullican settlement did not really begin until 1507. The colony was centred around the settlement of Port de la Sainte, the first Euclean city in the Asterias, which functioned as an important staging ground for further Gaullican settlement of the Asterias. The city was located on a protected natural harbor, easily defensible from the sea, and further protected by Gaullican structures such as the Citadelle. In addition to being a strategic base, it also eventually became an important cash crop colony, and was known for the great wealth and prosperity it brought to Gaullica. The colonial system relied heavily on Bahian slaves, who soon became the dominant numbered people on the island. Slavery proved a decisive issue on the island, eventually leading to the unsuccessful Capois Rebellion in 1824, which was later followed by the abolition of slavery in the colony in 1830.

After the abolition of slavery in 1830, Gaullican colonial policy turned towards the education and Gaullicanisation of the colonists, taking such steps as the promotion of the Gaullican language and increased unity with mainland Gaullica. This was greatly augmented and helped by the Holistique Movement, which pushed for the education and development of the former enslaved population. During this time, Gowsa came to the island to act as cheap labour to replace the role the slaves had formerly filled. Sainte-Chloé remained loyal to the Empire throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until the Great War.
