Mit einer breiten Gr\u00fcnzone und vier besonders gro\u00dfen, f\u00fcr den Menschen geeigneten Biosph\u00e4ren, die eine begrenzte Terraform erfordern, ist das System aus kosmologischer Sicht ungew\u00f6hnlich. Sternsysteme, die so rein bewohnbar sind wie Stanton, sind extrem selten. Inzwischen sind die unterschiedlichen \u00d6kologien auf Stantons vier Welten f\u00fcr Wissenschaftler aller Couleur von gro\u00dfem Interesse. Niemand ist sich genau sicher, wer das Stanton-System zuerst besiedelt hat. Alle Anzeichen deuten darauf hin, dass es von einem Freihandelsh\u00e4ndler entdeckt wurde und sich das Wort \u00fcber den Ort und seinen potenziellen Reichtum verbreitete; Siedler zogen schnell ein. Als die UEE die Existenz des Systems bemerkte, erkl\u00e4rte das Imperium Stanton zu einem Fall von Enteignung und verwies auf die Notwendigkeit, die nahe gelegenen Sprungwege zu sch\u00fctzen und zu erweitern. Ohne formelle Besiedlungspapiere hatten die bestehenden Bewohner kaum eine andere Wahl, als ihre Geh\u00f6fte aufzugeben: Goldsucher, \u00dcberlebensk\u00fcnstler und andere Besetzer haben wenig Mittel, um sich vor der Macht eines bengalischen Tr\u00e4gers zu sch\u00fctzen.\n\nDas Imperium wurde dann gehindert. Wie so oft war das Wollen viel interessanter als das Haben. Mit einer nachlassenden Wirtschaft inmitten einer hundertj\u00e4hrigen Kolonisationsd\u00fcrre hatte die UEE wenig M\u00f6glichkeiten, Stanton tats\u00e4chlich zu nutzen. Nachdem die Marine-Ingenieure der UEE die geringe Menge an ben\u00f6tigtem Terraforming durchgef\u00fchrt hatten, wurden eine Reihe von unterfinanzierten milit\u00e4rischen Au\u00dfenposten errichtet, und dann blieb Stanton unangetastet, bis schlie\u00dflich die Entscheidung getroffen wurde, das System St\u00fcck f\u00fcr St\u00fcck an die H\u00f6chstbietenden zu verkaufen. Megakonzerne wurden leise kontaktiert und gebeten, f\u00fcr ihre eigenen Planeten zu bieten. Die Gewinner sollen Billionen in die UEE-Wirtschaft gesteckt haben: Hurston Dynamics, Crusader Industries, ArcCorp und microTech. In einem bemerkenswerten Mangel an Originalit\u00e4t werden die vier Welten heute Hurston, Crusader, ArcCorp und microTech genannt. Die Megakonzerne zogen langsam, aber sicher ein, und das System wird vollst\u00e4ndig industrialisiert. Die vier Welten sind heute \u00fcbers\u00e4t mit Fabriken, Unternehmenszentralen, Testgel\u00e4nden, Minen und anderen Firmeneinrichtungen. Nur diejenigen, die f\u00fcr die Unternehmen arbeiten (oder die ihren Raum mieten), kommen in das Stanton-System und bewohnen die Firmenst\u00e4dte.\n\nHeute ist Stanton ein gro\u00dfartiger Ort zum Reisen, wenn Sie sich f\u00fcr die Materialien interessieren, die von einigen der erfolgreichsten Unternehmen der Galaxie produziert werden.... oder wenn Sie denken, dass Sie mit dem Versand dieser Unternehmen die Waren, die sie ben\u00f6tigen, um weiterzuarbeiten, einen Gewinn erzielen k\u00f6nnen.\n\nStanton I: Hurston\nStanton I ist die Heimat von Hurston Dynamics, einem aristokratischen, familiengef\u00fchrten Waffenhersteller, der die Welt ausgetrocknet hat. Die \u00d6kosph\u00e4re von Stanton I wurde weitgehend zerst\u00f6rt, wobei fast das gesamte einheimische Leben durch die Bergbau- und Herstellungsverfahren hier get\u00f6tet wurde. Hurston baut mehrere Linien zuverl\u00e4ssiger Waffen, und Piloten, die nach Spezialwaffen suchen, k\u00f6nnten gut daran tun, diese zu besuchen. Der Planet produziert auch eine Vielzahl von Munition, die an andere Unternehmen verkauft wird, und die Transportunterst\u00fctzung wird immer gut bezahlt. Arbeiter werden f\u00fcr einj\u00e4hrige Fabrik- oder Bergbauvertr\u00e4ge importiert; nur wenige entscheiden sich f\u00fcr ein Wiederaufleben. Hurston ben\u00f6tigt immer billige Arbeitskr\u00e4fte und ist eine gute Quelle f\u00fcr H\u00e4ndler, die Antimaterievorl\u00e4ufer bewegen wollen.\n\nStanton II: Kreuzritter\nStanton II ist Kreuzritter, von den Einheimischen \"Cl\" genannt; es ist ein massearmer Gasriese, der eine Atmosph\u00e4re hat, die in gro\u00dfen H\u00f6hen atmungsaktiv ist. Unter Ausnutzung dieser Vorteile wurde der Planet zur Heimat eines milit\u00e4risch konstruierten Gitterwerks aus bewohnbaren schwimmenden Plattformen. Die Plattformen erwiesen sich als ideal f\u00fcr Crusader, da ihre gro\u00dfen kommerziellen Transportschiffe sonst au\u00dferhalb der Atmosph\u00e4re gebaut werden m\u00fcssten. Durch den Einbau im Freien k\u00f6nnen die Kosten f\u00fcr diese Schiffe am Backend um fast 40% gesenkt werden, was oft an die Verbraucher weitergegeben wird. Nach der \u00dcbernahme von Crusader Industries wurden diese Plattformen entsprechend ihren Produktionsanforderungen erweitert. Das Unternehmen baute auch hochwertige Wohnungen f\u00fcr seine Mitarbeiter in Lebensr\u00e4umen, die in das Gitterwerk selbst eingewebt waren. Der Teil der Welt, der den Besuchern zur Verf\u00fcgung steht, wird von vielen als der sch\u00f6nste Hafen im System angesehen. Die Werften selbst sind unheimlich sch\u00f6n, mit riesigen Transportschiffen, die inmitten der Atmosph\u00e4re schweben, umgeben von einem beleuchteten Gewebe aus Kreuzfahrteinrichtungen.\n\nStanton III: ArcCorp\nArcCorp, Stanton III, ist die optisch beeindruckendste der heutigen Welt. W\u00e4hrend die anderen Planeten, selbst die verschmutzten Hurston Dynamics, einige Hinweise auf ihre nat\u00fcrlichen Urspr\u00fcnge behalten, ist ArcCorp heute fast eine vollst\u00e4ndig gebaute Welt. Fast das gesamte Gel\u00e4nde wurde geformt, eingegrenzt und bebaut, so dass nur noch sehr wenig Platz f\u00fcr die Natur bleibt. ArcCorp baut jedes Jahr Fusionstriebwerke in gro\u00dfen Mengen f\u00fcr Hunderttausende von zivilen Raumfahrzeugen. H\u00e4ndler, die bei ArcCorp portieren, sollten sich dar\u00fcber im Klaren sein, dass sie hier neben den Gesch\u00e4ften mit diesen Maschinen auch so ziemlich alles andere finden k\u00f6nnen. ArcCorp ist absolut wahllos, an wen sie Immobilien vermieten, und Hunderte von anderen kleineren Unternehmen haben sich in der N\u00e4he der n\u00f6rdlichen Polarregion der Welt niedergelassen. Anthropologen, die mit dem Xi'An vertraut sind, haben festgestellt, dass ArcCorp das engste menschliche \u00c4quivalent zu einer Xi'An-Fabrik-Welt ist, und viele sagen voraus, dass sich unsere Zivilisation eines Tages in die gleiche Richtung entwickeln wird. Stanton IV: microTech\nStanton IV, Sitz der microTech Corporation, ist ein gro\u00dfer und meist kalter Planet. Die Temperatur ist das Ergebnis eines Fehlers w\u00e4hrend des UEE-Terraforming-Prozesses, der zu einer ungew\u00f6hnlich dichten Cloud-Produktion f\u00fchrt. microTech produziert hier MobiGlas, ein inzwischen zum Standard gewordenes St\u00fcck digitaler Assistenztechnologie, das von fast jedem im Reich verwendet wird. Obwohl MobiGlas zu einem allgegenw\u00e4rtigen Produkt geworden ist, stellt microTech eine Vielzahl von Elektronikprodukten her, auch solche, die in Schiffssystemen zu finden sind. Diese Welt ist ein guter Ort, um nach fortschrittlichen Sensortechnologien zu suchen, die im Nahkampf einen Vorteil bieten k\u00f6nnten. Die Fl\u00e4chen auf der Welt sind an kleinere Unternehmen vermietet, darunter einige der Wettbewerber der Mikrotechnik, was den Ruf des Planeten als Ort f\u00fcr Spitzenforschung und -entwicklung festigte. Buyouts unter erfolgreichen Stanton IV-basierten Start-ups sind \u00fcblich. Den Besuchern wird empfohlen, in Wally's Bar Arbeits- und Frachtnachrichten zu suchen; fragen Sie einfach nicht nach Wally.\n\nReisewarnung\nBesucher sollten beachten, dass das United Empire of Earth Strafgesetzbuch zwar im Stantonssystem technisch anwendbar ist, die UEE aber die Region nicht \u00fcberwacht. Private Geschwader und angeheuerte S\u00f6ldner der bewohnenden Gro\u00dfkonzerne setzen hier ihre eigenen Gesetze durch.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Ich bin es leid, dass Leute unser Recht, diese Welt zu betreiben, in Frage stellen. Was ist ein Unternehmen au\u00dfer der Erweiterung der Menschen? Eine Regierung wird durch Stimmen gew\u00e4hlt, w\u00e4hrend wir durch Ihre Kredite gew\u00e4hlt wurden.\"\n- \"Colonel\" Gavin E. Hurston, zitiert in \"Kaufkraft\". Terra Gazette 2941.4.21\n\n\"Es ist ein wenig seltsam, um ehrlich zu sein.
