While die-hard Earth loyalists would dispute such a claim, there is no doubt that Terra has its finger on the pulse of the Empire.

Adding even more intrigue to Terra, massive stone ruins clearly indicative of intelligent life were discovered shortly after colonizing began on Terra III\u2019s southern continental mass, creating one of the most-debated archaeological mysteries of our time.\n\nIt wasn\u2019t long before early inhabitants of the system would discover that Terra was doubly blessed. Not only did it have a world ideally suited for Humans, but the system was abundant with jump points.

W\u00e4hrend die hartgesottenen Erdenloyalisten einen solchen Anspruch bestreiten w\u00fcrden, gibt es keinen Zweifel daran, dass Terra seinen Finger am Puls des Imperiums hat. Vom zunehmenden Zustrom von Megacorp-Zentralen zum System bis hin zum Einfluss der lokalen Musikszene auf die Popul\u00e4rkultur ist Terra zweifellos dem Rivalen, den die Erde je produziert hat, am n\u00e4chsten.\n\nHistorie\nDas Terra-System, damals 342A genannt, wurde erstmals 2508 im Rahmen des Projekts Far Star kartiert. Als die ersten Scannerdaten des dritten Planeten des Systems einen nat\u00fcrlichen \u00dcberirdischen enth\u00fcllten, der sich direkt im gr\u00fcnen Band des Sterns befand, war die Kolonisierung sofort offensichtlich. Der Planet - vom ersten Entdeckungsteam schnell Terra genannt; ein Name, der bald auf das gesamte System zutraf - begeisterte die Fantasie der UNE wegen seiner erstaunlichen \u00c4hnlichkeit mit einer unber\u00fchrten Erde. \u00dcppig, gr\u00fcn und voll von nat\u00fcrlichen Ressourcen, waren Siedler und Unternehmen gleicherma\u00dfen begierig darauf, ihr eigenes St\u00fcck dieser unber\u00fchrten Welt zu beanspruchen. Terra noch faszinierender, wurden massive Steinruinen entdeckt, die eindeutig auf intelligentes Leben hindeuten, kurz nachdem die Kolonisierung auf der s\u00fcdlichen kontinentalen Masse von Terra III begann, was eines der am meisten diskutierten arch\u00e4ologischen Geheimnisse unserer Zeit hervorbrachte.\n\nEs dauerte nicht lange, bis die ersten Bewohner des Systems herausfanden, dass Terra doppelt gesegnet war. Es gab nicht nur eine Welt, die ideal f\u00fcr den Menschen war, sondern das System war auch reich an Sprungbrettpunkten. Bislang wurden sieben Sprungbretter kartiert und die Wissenschaftler hoffen sehr, dass bald ein Achtel entdeckt werden kann. In vier Jahrhunderten hat sich Terra III dank seines Sprung-Netzwerks und seiner Lage zu einer riesigen Drehscheibe f\u00fcr Wirtschaft, Kultur, Politik und Handel entwickelt.\n\nAero (Terra I)\nEine raue, felsige Welt, die unglaublich nah an ihrem Stern Terra Nova liegt. Obwohl reich an bestimmten Mineralien, waren Versuche, Ressourcen auf Aero zu nutzen, aufgrund der extrem unwirtlichen Oberfl\u00e4chentemperaturen und der langen Umlaufzeit des 95. Standard Earth Day weitgehend erfolglos.\n\nHecht (Terra II)\nAndererseits sind die Minenarbeiten auf Pike ein Meisterwerk der Mensch-Technik. Die Oberfl\u00e4che von Pike, einem mineralreichen Planeten, ist \u00fcbers\u00e4t mit Bergbauvorposten und Raffinerien, die f\u00fcr die Expansion von Terra unerl\u00e4sslich waren.\n\nTerra (Terra III)\nDie Hauptstadt Terra ist Prime, eine wundersch\u00f6ne Megacity an der Bucht. Im Gegensatz zu den Metropolen der Erde wurde alles in Prime von den urspr\u00fcnglichen Siedlern geplant, was zu einem viel besseren Gleichgewicht zwischen Natur und Zivilisation f\u00fchrt, als es in der Heimatwelt der Menschheit der Fall ist. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen St\u00e4dten liegt Prime's wichtigster Raumhafen au\u00dferhalb der Stadt, um Umweltverschmutzung und Luftverschmutzung zu reduzieren. Eine Einschienenbahn bringt die Besucher zu und von den beiden wichtigsten Regionen der Stadt: der funkelnden Innenstadt und dem Wohngebiet, das umgangssprachlich als The Block bekannt ist. The Blocks wurde aus den urspr\u00fcnglichen kolonialen Vorbauten gebaut und wird von vielen in Prime als Schandfleck angesehen, aber es gab starken Widerstand von denen, die in der antiquierten Nachbarschaft gegen die Modernisierung leben.\nTerras zweitgr\u00f6\u00dfte Stadt, Quasi, liegt auf der k\u00e4lteren S\u00fcdhalbkugel und wurde im Schatten der massiven Ruinen gebaut, die schon fr\u00fch in Terras Siedlung entdeckt wurden. Quasi gilt eher als touristisches Ziel als Prime, obwohl mehrere Unternehmen in der Region t\u00e4tig sind.\n\nNew Austin, ein weiterer anf\u00e4nglicher Kolonisationspunkt, ist so nah wie Terra kommt zu einer Industriestadt. New Austin, ein gro\u00df geschriebener Business Park, ist die Heimat von Unternehmen wie ORIGIN Jumpworks und der Hauptverwaltung der Sataball Territorial League. Die Lebenshaltungskosten in New Austin sind niedriger als in Prime, was zu mehr Sensibilit\u00e4t f\u00fcr \"Blue Collar\" f\u00fchrt. Das Herzst\u00fcck der Stadt ist The Old Hall, ein ehemaliger Treffpunkt der Miner's Guild, der heute von Fabrikanten, Piloten, Spediteuren und Spediteuren bev\u00f6lkert wird.\n\nGen (Terra IV)\nOft wird \u00fcbersehen, dass auch Terras Schwesterwelt Gen bewohnt ist. Dieser kleinere Planet, der \u00e4u\u00dferste im System, wurde etwa ein Jahrhundert nach der ersten Besiedlung von Terra terraf\u00f6rmig geformt. Der Planet besteht gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils aus Milit\u00e4rbasen, kaiserlicher Verwaltung und Wohnraum und ist gut besiedelt, obwohl die Bewohner fast ausschlie\u00dflich Regierungsarbeiter sind. Trotz wiederholter Versuche waren Gen's Gebote f\u00fcr die Vertretung im Senat erfolglos. Die Gegner zitieren, dass sich jede zus\u00e4tzliche b\u00fcrokratische Aufsicht als widerspr\u00fcchlich zu den dort bestehenden Interessen des Imperiums erweisen k\u00f6nnte, aber Pro-Terra-Aktivisten glauben, dass der Senat zur\u00fcckhaltend ist, dem Terra-System mehr politischen Einfluss einzur\u00e4umen.\n\nReisewarnung\nReisende werden ermutigt, alle Verkehrsregeln, die sich auf die drei gro\u00dfen Milit\u00e4r- und Sicherheitsstationen des Systems beziehen, besonders zu beachten. Schiffe, die sich INS Reilly, IAS Hammett und ICS Evolen n\u00e4hern, werden eine angemessene Genehmigung einholen oder ihnen einen weiten Bogen machen wollen, um unerw\u00fcnschte Vorf\u00e4lle zu vermeiden.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Unsere einzige Hoffnung auf Frieden, unsere einzige Chance, die Zukunft zu gestalten, die unsere Kinder und die unserer Kinder verdienen, ist die Suche nach Terraner Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit.\"\n- Gouverneur Assan Kieren, Politische Rallye Rede, 2638.03.12\n\n\"Jeder mag \u00fcber die erstklassigen Restaurants sprechen, die Sie in Prime besuchen k\u00f6nnen, aber f\u00fcr meine beiden Credits gibt es auf Terra nicht viel, das dem Geschmack einer hei\u00dfen Piroge nahe kommt, die direkt von einem Stra\u00dfenverk\u00e4ufer gekauft wird, w\u00e4hrend die Sonne \u00fcber New Austin aufgeht. Das, mein Freund, ist eine Mahlzeit, die du nicht so schnell vergessen wirst.\"\n- Senator Kelos Albervar, Horizons Magazine, Juli 2942","zh_CN":"Terra, shining jewel of the United Empire of Earth, has made great strides towards becoming the cultural focus of Humanity.
