Although it is best known as the site of first contact between Humans and the Banu, the most unusual facet of Davien\u2019s discovery was what it represented to the broader astrophysics community: contemporary science had predicted that no additional jump points would exist in the Sol System. When Dopse charted the jump to Davien, it meant that textbooks had to be rewritten and it ultimately lead to a flurry of advancements in jump scanning technology.\n\nThe public lost interest in Davien itself as the excitement over its discovery waned. Four planets orbiting a slight, orange Type-K main sequence star, the system held no exotic resource caches or strategic military chokeholds. It seemed destined to become a lightly-populated backwater star system adjacent to more developed areas of the Empire.\n\nThat all changed quickly in 2438. Vernon Tar, an independent navjumper running scans in the outer sector, encountered an alien vessel for the first time in Human history. The ship in question turned out to be Humanity\u2019s first introduction to the Banu Protectorate. The UNE quickly established a military-led watch station to take control of the situation and the first interstellar treaty with a delegation from the Protectorate slowly took shape. (The ultimate irony for all parties involved was that the ship originally engaged by Tar was a fugitive fleeing civilization.)\n\nNow, poised to become the jumping off point to trade with the Banu, interest in the system skyrocketed. With the potential for exotic materials, alien technology and more, the system was flooded with all forms of Humanity, and the terraforming of Davien II became a priority. Within decades, it had developed into one of the more populated Human worlds.\n\nDavien I\nA large, battered and gray rock that is visually similar to Earth\u2019s moon, Davien I makes a reasonable poster child for the concept of a \u201cfly-over\u201d world. Coreless and without many interesting minerals, few find reason to set foot on the planet.\n\nDavien II (Cestulus)\nDavien II, named Cestulus after terraforming was completed in the second-half of the 25th century, is the system\u2019s only habitable world. The end result is a less than ideal, thin atmosphere. Because of this, the majority of Human habitation is beneath elaborate biodomes that pump oxygen into the air to help people breath. While its title as the \u201cgateway to the Eastern Empire\u201d may have been taken by Corel, dozens of major cargo runs still criss-cross the system and shipping still makes up a significant portion of the world\u2019s economy. To that end, the planet is dotted in spaceports with facilities to entertain and supply long-haul transport crews.\n\nJata is Cestulus\u2019 most emblematic city. Located underneath an ever expanding warren of air production facilities, the city is most famously home to Aegis Dynamics\u2019 corporate headquarters and initial production facilities. The base primarily produces components rather than a particular ship design. More exotic resources are imported and the need is consistent. Beyond Aegis\u2019 footprint in the city, the unique biodomed cityscape has become symbolic of the Davien system as a whole.\n\nFor reasons not completely understood by sociologists, Cestulus became a flashpoint for political upheaval. In 2529, the feared economic collapse that accompanied the introduction of the Empire\u2019s unified currency, UEC, lead to a bloody, two-week riot in the city of Jata. Only military intervention stopped the protest. In 2546, the planet was the site of terrorist bombings that left thousands dead, with bombs being planted specifically to collapse one of the planet\u2019s most populated biodomes. This violent act kicked off a series of similar attacks across the UPE that lead to the adoption of Ivar Messer\u2019s Prime Citizen plan. In recent years, Cestulus has become the adopted podium of everyone from Terran secessionists to xenophobic groups.\n\nDavien III\nDavien III is a smog planet with an acid-based atmosphere. With the resources present deemed not worth the risk of establishing a protective enclosure colony, the planet remains uninhabited. Rumors do persist that Davien III is a dumping ground for troublemakers and others who find themselves on the wrong side of the region\u2019s organized criminal syndicates.\n\nDavien IV\nDavien IV is a beautiful but inhospitable ice giant. Owing to its proximity to the system\u2019s jump point out to Cathcart and its atmospheric stability, a Naval station was established in Davien IV\u2019s orbit. Retired in the 29th Century on the heels of military cutbacks and strengthening xeno-relations, today the base is the Banu Friendship Museum, where visitors can learn an overly-simplified story of Humankind\u2019s interactions with the Protectorate. Few tourists are interested enough to make the trek to the system\u2019s outer reaches, however, and the museum is constantly in danger of losing its funding.\n\nTravel Warning\nTravelers are well-warned that due to the system\u2019s long history of political upheaval, the Advocacy forces and local militia units in Davien are no-nonsense elites. Waystations and well-equipped militia spacecraft are the rule here, and only the most advanced smuggler compartments can possibly move contraband through Davien\u2019s \u201cgalactic truckstop.\u201d There is no humor for smugglers, even the most harmless varieties.","de_DE":"Davien wurde fr\u00fch in der extrasolaren Expansion der Menschheit entdeckt, wurde 2430 von Wendell Dopse kartiert und nach seinem Schwiegervater benannt. Obwohl es am besten als Ort des ersten Kontakts zwischen Mensch und Banu bekannt ist, war die ungew\u00f6hnlichste Facette von Daviens Entdeckung das, was es f\u00fcr die breitere astrophysikalische Gemeinschaft darstellte: Die zeitgen\u00f6ssische Wissenschaft hatte vorhergesagt, dass es im Sol-System keine zus\u00e4tzlichen Sprungbretter geben w\u00fcrde. Als Dopse den Sprung zu Davien verfolgte, bedeutete dies, dass Lehrb\u00fccher neu geschrieben werden mussten, und f\u00fchrte schlie\u00dflich zu einer Flut von Fortschritten in der Sprung-Scantechnologie.\n\nDie \u00d6ffentlichkeit verlor das Interesse an Davien selbst, als die Begeisterung \u00fcber seine Entdeckung nachlie\u00df. Vier Planeten, die einen leichten, orangefarbenen Typ-K Hauptreihenstern umkreisen, hielten das System keine exotischen Ressourcen-Caches oder strategischen milit\u00e4rischen W\u00fcrgegriffe. Es schien dazu bestimmt zu sein, ein leicht bev\u00f6lkertes Hinterwassersternsystem zu werden, das an weiter entwickelte Gebiete des Imperiums angrenzt.\n\nDas \u00e4nderte sich 2438 schnell. Vernon Tar, ein unabh\u00e4ngiger Navjumper, der Scans im \u00e4u\u00dferen Sektor durchf\u00fchrt, traf zum ersten Mal in der Menschheitsgeschichte auf ein fremdes Schiff. Das fragliche Schiff stellte sich als die erste Einf\u00fchrung der Menschheit in das Banu-Protektorat heraus. Die UNE richtete schnell eine milit\u00e4risch gef\u00fchrte Wachstation ein, um die Kontrolle \u00fcber die Situation zu \u00fcbernehmen, und der erste interstellare Vertrag mit einer Delegation des Protektorats nahm langsam Gestalt an. (Die ultimative Ironie f\u00fcr alle Beteiligten war, dass das urspr\u00fcnglich von Tar eingesetzte Schiff ein Fl\u00fcchtling auf der Flucht vor der Zivilisation war.\n\nJetzt, bereit, der springende Punkt zu werden, um mit den Banu zu handeln, stieg das Interesse an dem System in die H\u00f6he. Mit dem Potenzial f\u00fcr exotische Materialien, fremde Technologien und mehr wurde das System mit allen Formen der Menschheit \u00fcberflutet, und das Terraforming von Davien II wurde zu einer Priorit\u00e4t. Innerhalb von Jahrzehnten hatte sie sich zu einer der bev\u00f6lkerungsreichsten Menschenwelten entwickelt.\n\nDavien I\nDavien I. ist ein gro\u00dfer, zerschlagener und grauer Fels, der dem Erdenmond optisch \u00e4hnlich ist, und macht ein vern\u00fcnftiges Plakatkind f\u00fcr das Konzept einer \"\u00dcberflugswelt\". Kernlos und ohne viele interessante Mineralien gibt es nur wenige Gr\u00fcnde, den Planeten zu betreten.\n\nDavien II (Cestulus)\nDavien II, genannt Cestulus, nachdem das Terraforming in der zweiten H\u00e4lfte des 25. Jahrhunderts abgeschlossen wurde, ist die einzige bewohnbare Welt des Systems. Das Endergebnis ist eine weniger als ideale, d\u00fcnne Atmosph\u00e4re. Aus diesem Grund befindet sich der Gro\u00dfteil der menschlichen Behausung unter aufwendigen Biodomen, die Sauerstoff in die Luft pumpen, um den Menschen beim Atmen zu helfen. Obwohl Corel den Titel \"Tor zum Ostreich\" angenommen hat, durchziehen immer noch Dutzende von gro\u00dfen Frachtl\u00e4ufen das System und die Schifffahrt macht immer noch einen bedeutenden Teil der Weltwirtschaft aus. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Planet in Raumh\u00e4fen mit Einrichtungen zur Unterhaltung und Versorgung von Langstreckentransportmannschaften verstreut.\n\nJata ist die emblematischste Stadt von Cestulus. Die Stadt liegt inmitten eines immer gr\u00f6\u00dfer werdenden Labyrinths von Luftproduktionsanlagen und ist bekannt als Heimat der Konzernzentrale und der ersten Produktionsst\u00e4tten von Aegis Dynamics. Die Basis produziert in erster Linie Komponenten und nicht ein bestimmtes Schiffsdesign. Exotischere Ressourcen werden importiert und der Bedarf ist konsistent. Jenseits des Fu\u00dfabdrucks von Aegis in der Stadt ist das einzigartige, biologisch gepr\u00e4gte Stadtbild zum Symbol f\u00fcr das Davien-System als Ganzes geworden.\n\nAus Gr\u00fcnden, die von den Soziologen nicht vollst\u00e4ndig verstanden wurden, wurde Cestulus zu einem Brennpunkt f\u00fcr politische Umbr\u00fcche. Im Jahr 2529 f\u00fchrte der bef\u00fcrchtete wirtschaftliche Zusammenbruch, der mit der Einf\u00fchrung der einheitlichen W\u00e4hrung des Imperiums, der UEC, einherging, zu einem blutigen, zweiw\u00f6chigen Aufstand in der Stadt Jata. Nur eine milit\u00e4rische Intervention stoppte den Protest. Im Jahr 2545 war der Planet Schauplatz terroristischer Bombenangriffe, bei denen Tausende starben, wobei Bomben speziell zum Einsturz eines der bev\u00f6lkerungsreichsten Biodome des Planeten gepflanzt wurden. Dieser gewaltt\u00e4tige Akt l\u00f6ste eine Reihe \u00e4hnlicher Angriffe in der gesamten UPE aus, die zur Annahme des Ivar Messer Prime Citizen Plans f\u00fchrten. In den letzten Jahren hat sich Cestulus zum beliebtesten Podium f\u00fcr alle entwickelt, von terranischen Sezessionisten bis hin zu fremdenfeindlichen Gruppen.\n\nDavien III\nDavien III ist ein Smogplanet mit einer s\u00e4urebasierten Atmosph\u00e4re. Da die vorhandenen Ressourcen das Risiko der Errichtung einer Schutzkolonie als nicht wert erachtet werden, bleibt der Planet unbewohnt. Ger\u00fcchte besagen, dass Davien III ein M\u00fcllplatz f\u00fcr Unruhestifter und andere ist, die sich auf der falschen Seite der organisierten Verbrechersyndikate der Region befinden.\n\nDavien IV\nDavien IV ist ein sch\u00f6ner, aber unwirtlicher Eisriese. Aufgrund der N\u00e4he zum Sprungbrett des Systems zu Cathcart und seiner atmosph\u00e4rischen Stabilit\u00e4t wurde im Orbit von Davien IV eine Marinestation eingerichtet. Jahrhundert nach milit\u00e4rischen K\u00fcrzungen und der St\u00e4rkung von Fremdbeziehungen in den Ruhestand verabschiedet, befindet sich heute das Banu Friendship Museum, wo die Besucher eine zu vereinfachte Geschichte \u00fcber die Wechselwirkungen der Menschheit mit dem Protektorat erfahren k\u00f6nnen. Nur wenige Touristen sind jedoch so interessiert, dass sie die Wanderung zu den Au\u00dfenbezirken des Systems machen k\u00f6nnen, und das Museum ist st\u00e4ndig in Gefahr, seine Gelder zu verlieren.\n\nReisewarnung\nReisende sind sich bewusst, dass die Advocacy-Kr\u00e4fte und die lokalen Miliz-Einheiten in Davien aufgrund der langen Geschichte des Systems der politischen Umw\u00e4lzungen keine unsinnigen Eliten sind. Waystations und gut ausgestattete Miliz-Raumschiffe sind hier die Regel, und nur die fortschrittlichsten Schmugglerabteile k\u00f6nnen m\u00f6glicherweise Schmuggelware durch Daviens \"galaktischen Truckstop\" bringen. Es gibt keinen Humor f\u00fcr Schmuggler, selbst die harmlosesten Sorten.","zh_CN":"Discovered early in Humankind\u2019s extrasolar expansion, Davien was charted in 2430 by Wendell Dopse and named after his father-in-law.
