As a result, MacArthur is a place where there are credits to be made.

General Carl Wimmer (UEEM), Press Briefing, 2861.04.09","de_DE":"Kilianisches System\nF\u00fcr die Rekruten, die hierher str\u00f6men, um die Kunst der modernen Kriegsf\u00fchrung zu erlernen, ist Kilian ein leuchtendes Symbol der milit\u00e4rischen Macht der UEE. Im Herzen des Reiches gelegen, beherbergt Kilian Hunderte von Milit\u00e4rkasernen, Trainingseinrichtungen, Werften und Unterst\u00fctzungseinrichtungen. Die Wirtschaft basiert ausschlie\u00dflich auf der massiven milit\u00e4rischen Pr\u00e4senz, wobei Waffenhersteller und Schiffsentwickler das System nutzen, um ihre Waren anzubieten. Zwischen den Werften an der Naval Station MacArthur und dem Marine Hauptquartier auf Corin ist Kilian vielleicht der sicherste Ort in der Galaxie.... wenn man auf der richtigen Seite des Gesetzes ist.\n\nKilian selbst ist ein gelber G-Typ Hauptreihenstern, der von vierzehn Planeten umkreist wird. Die Entdeckung von Kilian erfolgte 2463, w\u00e4hrend der fr\u00fchen Expansion der Menschheit in das Universum. Obwohl es keinen konkreten Plan gab, das System speziell als Milit\u00e4rbasis aufzubauen, entwickelte es sich in den ersten Tagen der Erkundung von einer vorgeschobenen Basis, als immer mehr Systeme entdeckt und die Macht in Richtung der Region um Terra verlagert wurde, befand sich Kilian in einer zentralen Position f\u00fcr einen effektiven Sicherheitseinsatz. Im Jahr 2631 verlegte die UEE ihre Hauptschiffbauaktivit\u00e4ten von Magnus nach Kilian, wo sie seither geblieben ist. Nur die UEE-Armee unterh\u00e4lt weiterhin ihr formales Hauptquartier auf der Erde; die Spitzenkommandanten der Marine und Marine leiten nun Truppen- und Schiffsbewegungen vom Kiliansystem aus. Als Nebenentwicklung hat Kilian eine gro\u00dfe Zivilbev\u00f6lkerung hervorgebracht und ist vollst\u00e4ndig im UEE-Senat vertreten.\n\nDie drei Schwestern\nDie ersten drei Planeten in Kilian sind informell als die Drei Schwestern bekannt und reisen zu nahe an den Stern, um bewohnbar zu sein. Die Erste Schwester ist die Gr\u00f6\u00dfte; ein hei\u00dfer Jupiter, der zusammen mit dem Stern des Systems die notwendige zentripetale Kraft erzeugt, um die beiden anderen Schwestern auf der gleichen Umlaufbahn zu halten. Die zweite und dritte Schwester sind Protoplaneten, die jeweils im Lagrange-Punkt L4 und L5 sitzen. Auf der kleinsten der Schwestern, Kilian III., werden begrenzte metallurgische Ressourcen abgebaut. In den meisten F\u00e4llen sind die Worldlets ein Auslass f\u00fcr UEE-Waffenerprobungs\u00fcbungen und tragen die Narben von Hunderten von Jahren der Munitionsz\u00fcndungen. Aufgrund dieser Tests ist der \u00f6ffentliche Zugang zu den Drei Schwestern eingeschr\u00e4nkt.\n\nMagma\nKilian IV. ist der prim\u00e4re Minenvorposten des Systems. Wie der Name schon sagt - von einem besonders unkonventionellen Entdecker gew\u00e4hlt -, ist Magma mit \u00fcberhitzten Metallen bedeckt und weist eine starke vulkanische Aktivit\u00e4t auf. Keine Landfl\u00e4che auf Magma ist stabil, so dass es unm\u00f6glich war, irgendwelche Einrichtungen auf der Oberfl\u00e4che selbst zu errichten.\n\nMacArthur\nMacArthur, Heimat des Hauptquartiers der UEE Navy und Geburtsort des Streiktr\u00e4gers der Bengalen, ist nach einem ber\u00fchmten Armeegeneral des vorigen Jahrtausends benannt, in dem Marinehistoriker und -personal w\u00e4hlen, am\u00fcsante Ironie zu finden. Hier werden jedes Jahr Zehntausende von Marinefliegern ausgebildet und alle wichtigen \u00dcbungen der Marine geplant und koordiniert. Der Planet wird von unz\u00e4hligen Ringen von r\u00e4umlichen Liegepl\u00e4tzen und Trockendocks umkreist. Viele der Hauptschiffe der Menschheit, einschlie\u00dflich der Bengalen, werden im Raum um MacArthur gebaut. Infolgedessen ist MacArthur ein Ort, an dem Kredite zu vergeben sind. Auf der rechtlichen Seite k\u00f6nnen H\u00e4ndler verarbeitete Erze, Waffenkomponenten, Schildgeneratoren und eine Vielzahl anderer Elemente einbringen, die f\u00fcr den Bau gro\u00dfer Kriegsschiffe ben\u00f6tigt werden. Diejenigen, die mit dem Schwarzmarkt verbunden sind, k\u00f6nnen auch auf MacArthur reich werden, da die Population der einsamen Schiffsbesatzungen des Planeten eine Vielzahl von Appetiten hat.\n\nOsha\nOsha ist eine terrassenf\u00f6rmige Super-Erde, in der viele der Familien leben und das Personal f\u00fcr die milit\u00e4rische Bev\u00f6lkerung des Systems unterst\u00fctzt wird. Es ist eine gem\u00e4\u00dfigte Welt, die hoch konstruiert wurde: Arkologien, die heute die Oberfl\u00e4che bedecken und Heime f\u00fcr Ehem\u00e4nner, Ehefrauen und Kinder von Milit\u00e4rangeh\u00f6rigen bieten, die entweder an anderer Stelle im System oder zu fernen Sternen eingesetzt werden. Es gibt einen gewissen Gewinn f\u00fcr den Versand nach Osha, dessen Bev\u00f6lkerung im Allgemeinen Luxus aus dem Rest des von Menschen besiedelten Raums sucht.\n\nKeene\nKeene ist etwas kleiner als Osha und eine weitere zivile Welt. Im Gegensatz zu Osha ist Keene die Dom\u00e4ne milit\u00e4risch ausgerichteter Unternehmen und Betriebe. Wenn ein Hersteller einen milit\u00e4rischen Vertrag hat, k\u00f6nnen Sie wetten, dass er eine Au\u00dfenstelle in Keene hat. Hersteller konkurrieren um Fabrikszeiten auf der ganzen Welt, weil eine systeminterne Fabrik es einem erm\u00f6glicht, ein viel effizienterer Lieferant zu sein. Das bedeutet, dass hier ressourcenunabh\u00e4ngig alles vom Toilettenpapier bis zum Raumschiffschott hergestellt wird. Roberts Space Industries und Anvil Aerospace unterhalten beide formelle Ausstellungsr\u00e4ume auf Keene, die von Zivilisten besucht werden k\u00f6nnen.\n\nKilian VIII.\nKilian VIII. ist eine Meereswelt mit einem offenen Geheimnis: Sie ist hochgiftig bis hin zur v\u00f6lligen Unwirtlichkeit. Was aus der Umlaufbahn wie ein tropisches Paradies aussieht, ist in der Tat eine Kugel aus hochdichtem Wasser, Ammoniak und fl\u00fcchtigeren Fl\u00fcssigkeiten. Keine aktuelle Raumanzugtechnologie ist in der Lage, einen Menschen auf der Oberfl\u00e4che von Kilian VIII. zu sch\u00fctzen, und selbst die meisten Raumschiffe l\u00f6sen sich mit minimalem Kontakt auf.\n\nCorin\nCorin ist eine t\u00f6dliche Eiswelt, die als Hauptquartier f\u00fcr das UEE Marine Kommando genutzt wird. Corin liegt au\u00dferhalb des gr\u00fcnen Bandes des Systems, so dass die Marines eine massive Untergrundbasis unterhalten, aber auch verlangen, dass alle Auszubildenden ein sechsmonatiges Bootcamp auf der Planetenoberfl\u00e4che \u00fcberleben. Marine-Einheiten, die nicht im Einsatz sind, f\u00fchren hier st\u00e4ndig Kriegsspiele durch. Corin ist eine der am besten gesch\u00fctzten Welten in der Galaxie, mit einer Kampfgruppe der Marine, die jederzeit den unbefugten Zugriff verhindert. Der beste Ratschlag: Nicht n\u00e4hern.\n\n\u00c4u\u00dfere Planeten\nKilian X bis Kilian XIV sind unbewohnbar. X hat eine d\u00fcnne Atmosph\u00e4re und eine dichte, mineralreiche Oberfl\u00e4che. Die Metallrechte auf dem Planeten sind derzeit in einem laufenden Gerichtsverfahren gesperrt, so dass nur Claim Hopper gelten m\u00fcssen.... und das massive Milit\u00e4r in der Region macht dies zu einer unattraktiven Perspektive f\u00fcr alle au\u00dfer den k\u00fchnsten Bergleuten. Kilian XI ist ein Gasriese, der von automatisierten Harvesterplattformen umgeben ist, die Ressourcen f\u00fcr die Veredelung sammeln. Kilian XII, XIII und XIV sind kleine, im Wesentlichen tote Welten. Obwohl Kilian XIII. von den drei eine beeindruckende Rauchquarzoberfl\u00e4che aufweist, die in der Galaxie wie nichts anderes aussieht.\n\nReisewarnung\nAlle Piloten werden gewarnt, keinen Ann\u00e4herungsvektor nach Corin zu versuchen. Die dort stationierten UEE-Marines haben einen st\u00e4ndigen Schie\u00dfbefehl f\u00fcr alle Raumfahrzeuge, die ihren Luftraum betreten.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Ich wurde auf Angeli geboren, aber ich wurde in Kilian geschmiedet.\"\n- Anonym\n\n\"Alles, was du geh\u00f6rt hast, ist nicht wahr. Alles, was du gesehen hast, ist eine L\u00fcge. Corin widersetzt sich der Erkl\u00e4rung.\"\n- Brigg.
