First discovered in 2449 and initially settled shortly thereafter, Corel has become the de facto customs checkpoint between the Empire and Banu.\n\nThe system itself was discovered in the decade following humankind\u2019s initial treaties with the Banu, as part of a concentrated effort to map this inhabited region of space. The habitable third planet, Lo, was developed first as a casual trading post between Humans and Banu and then ultimately developed into the port of call for all interspecies shipping traffic. The culture of the Corel system is an interesting mix of Human frontier and Banu bureaucracy. Corelians today are an unexpected combination of efficient and laid back. Beyond that, in the nearly five centuries since the system\u2019s settlement, little has changed save the volume of trade that passes through the jump point.\n\nCorel I & II\nThe first planet of the Corel system is little more than a flare-lashed iron core. Originally a rocky worldlet close to the system\u2019s sun, Corel I\u2019s crust and mantle were blasted away through a series of unknown impacts. The result was the exposure of the planet\u2019s iron core, which has since cooled to a solid state. No development has taken place on Corel I, as there are far easier to reach sources of simple iron in the known galaxy. The planet does make for an attractive picture, though, with a bizarre smooth landscape resulting from the metal having rapidly cooled into its current form when exposed to space.\n\nWhere Corel I is now entirely a planetary core, Corel II lacks one entirely. A dead planet with no magnetic field, Corel II\u2019s atmosphere has been blasted away by solar winds. The surface of the planet is, however, extremely rich in minerals, and remains relatively untouched thanks in large part to on ongoing legal dispute involving a tangled nest of defunct companies, corrupt regulatory officials and competing claims. It is expected to revert back to UEE government control in the near future. And while the planet is also technically a terraforming candidate since it is located on the inner edge of the system\u2019s green band, it is not considered a promising one.\n\nCorel III \u2013 Lo\nBehold, the pulsing heartbeat of interspecies commerce. Corel III, known commonly as \u201cLo\u201d around the galaxy, is the system\u2019s inhabited world and serves as the physical handshake between the Human and Banu governments. The planet itself is an interesting mix: sparsely populated plains, lazy border towns and massive shipping\/customs complexes through which pass everyone from freelance traders to corporate cargo crews.\n\nLo is, essentially, the last exit before the Banu Protectorate, and it has all the qualities of both a massive transport hub and a distant frontier trucking station. The usual entertainments for long-haul transport crews are in good supply, although the numerous customs officials stationed here (as well as private security guards used to protect valuable cargo) serve to mediate the more unsavory of these developments.\n\nThe center of the station is New Junction, a town built up around the largest customs house on-world. Lines of ships can wait for hours on a bad day to pass through the detailed inspection screening required by the UEE. Roughly one in ten cargoes is given a full visual inspection, and all others are subject to an array of scans and a mountain of paperwork.\n\nNew Junction is located on a natural landing area: the sprawling plains of the equatorial Qoph (pronounced \u201ckoff\u201d) region. While Lo is a generally temperate world, New Junction is in one of the hotter regions year round, something which many traders dread experiencing during their layovers. Cool drinks and air conditioned hab rentals are always in high demand in the area surrounding New Junction. Regular dust storms combined with the city\u2019s base of prefab buildings plus the vast quantity of shipping containers passing through make for something of an almost prehistoric \u2018wild west\u2019 vibe. But make no mistake, this is not the lawless frontier: a fortune in legitimate shipping passes through Lo every day, overseen by meticulous customs agents.\n\nCorel IV \u2013 Castor\nWhile Lo is a prime example of Humanity\u2019s efficient industry, Corel IV (called Castor by the natives) is an embarrassing example of its hubris. Castor orbits Corel with a 641 SED rotation, placing it on the very edge of the star\u2019s green-band habitable zone. Made up of vast tracts of frozen desert, Castor is a foreboding world with no immediately apparent reason for Human development. Nevertheless, the world became a symbol of intended progress during the Messer Era, another target in a dictatorial march towards new levels of science and industry. Billions of credits in terraforming technology later, the once-frozen desert planet had become a frozen desert planet with a barely breathable atmosphere.\n\nToday, almost no one lives on Castor and few of those could tell you why. A handful of settlements dot the globe, primarily centered around deep ice-mining operations. Beyond that, miners subside on occasional caches of rare minerals that dot the desert; the discovery of a single cache can make a mining operation profitable for several years. Mining contracts are the reason why the bulk of its inhabitants have come to the planet, and very few of them choose to renew for a second year. Traders looking to make a quick credit, though, could not find a more captive audience for luxury goods.\n\nCorel V & VI\nCorel V is a standard gas giant. A massive red and brown planet that house some gas harvesting, but is otherwise unremarkable. Corel VI is an uninhabitable ball of rock rarely encountered by anyone passing through the system. It features an odd orbit that is well off the system\u2019s elliptical plane. With a slightly less important transit point, Corel VI might have become a reasonable outpost for smugglers, but the quality and concentration of local patrol forces in the system have all but eliminated it as a venue for cross-border black market shipping.","de_DE":"Corel, bekannt als das Tor zum Banu Protektorat, ist ein Standard Typ G Hauptreihenstern mit sechs gro\u00dfen Planeten an der Grenze der UEE. Corel, das erstmals 2449 entdeckt und kurz darauf angesiedelt wurde, hat sich zum De-facto-Zollkontrollpunkt zwischen dem Reich und Banu entwickelt.\n\nDas System selbst wurde im Jahrzehnt nach den ersten Vertr\u00e4gen der Menschheit mit den Banu entdeckt, als Teil einer konzentrierten Anstrengung, diese bewohnte Region des Weltraums zu kartieren. Der bewohnbare dritte Planet Lo wurde zun\u00e4chst als gelegentlicher Handelsposten zwischen Mensch und Banu entwickelt und entwickelte sich schlie\u00dflich zum Anlaufpunkt f\u00fcr alle Arten von Schiffsverkehren. Die Kultur des Corel-Systems ist eine interessante Mischung aus Human Frontier und Banu-B\u00fcrokratie. Corelians sind heute eine unerwartete Kombination aus effizient und entspannt. Dar\u00fcber hinaus hat sich in den fast f\u00fcnf Jahrhunderten seit der Ansiedlung des Systems wenig ver\u00e4ndert, au\u00dfer dem Handelsvolumen, das den Sprungpunkt passiert.\n\nCorel I & II\nDer erste Planet des Corel-Systems ist kaum mehr als ein mit B\u00f6rdelungen versehener Eisenkern. Urspr\u00fcnglich ein felsiges Weltkleid in der N\u00e4he der Sonne des Systems, wurden Kruste und Mantel von Corel I durch eine Reihe von unbekannten Einfl\u00fcssen weggesprengt. Das Ergebnis war die Freilegung des Eisenkerns des Planeten, der inzwischen auf einen festen Zustand abgek\u00fchlt ist. Auf Corel I hat sich keine Entwicklung vollzogen, da es in der bekannten Galaxie viel leichter zug\u00e4ngliche Quellen f\u00fcr einfaches Eisen gibt. Der Planet sorgt jedoch f\u00fcr ein attraktives Bild mit einer bizarren, glatten Landschaft, die dadurch entsteht, dass das Metall bei Raumkontakt schnell in seine aktuelle Form abgek\u00fchlt ist.\n\nW\u00e4hrend Corel I jetzt ganz ein planetarischer Kern ist, fehlt Corel II ein ganzer. Als toter Planet ohne Magnetfeld wurde die Atmosph\u00e4re von Corel II. von Sonnenwinden weggeblasen. Die Oberfl\u00e4che des Planeten ist jedoch extrem reich an Mineralien und bleibt relativ unber\u00fchrt, was zum gro\u00dfen Teil auf den laufenden Rechtsstreit zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren ist, der ein verwickeltes Nest von verstorbenen Unternehmen, korrupten Regulierungsbeh\u00f6rden und konkurrierenden Anspr\u00fcchen betrifft. Es wird erwartet, dass es in naher Zukunft wieder in die staatliche Kontrolle der UEE zur\u00fcckkehren wird. Und obwohl der Planet technisch gesehen auch ein Terraforming-Kandidat ist, da er sich an der Innenkante des gr\u00fcnen Bandes des Systems befindet, gilt er nicht als vielversprechend.\n\nCorel III - Lo\nSiehe, der pulsierende Herzschlag des Interartenhandels. Corel III, allgemein bekannt als \"Lo\" in der Galaxie, ist die bewohnte Welt des Systems und dient als physischer Handschlag zwischen der Human- und Banu-Regierung. Der Planet selbst ist ein interessanter Mix: d\u00fcnn besiedelte Ebenen, faule Grenzst\u00e4dte und massive Schifffahrts- und Zollkomplexe, durch die jeder von Freiberuflern bis hin zu Frachtunternehmen geht.\n\nLo ist im Wesentlichen die letzte Ausfahrt vor dem Protektorat von Banu, und es hat alle Qualit\u00e4ten eines riesigen Verkehrsknotens und einer entfernten Grenz-Trucking-Station. Die \u00fcblichen Unterhaltungen f\u00fcr die Fernverkehrsbesatzungen sind gut versorgt, obwohl die hier stationierten zahlreichen Zollbeamten (sowie private Wachleute zum Schutz wertvoller Ladung) dazu dienen, die unappetitlicheren dieser Entwicklungen zu vermitteln.\n\nDas Zentrum des Bahnhofs ist New Junction, eine Stadt, die um das gr\u00f6\u00dfte Zollhaus der Welt herum gebaut wurde. Schiffslinien k\u00f6nnen an einem schlechten Tag stundenlang warten, um die von der UEE geforderte detaillierte Inspektionskontrolle zu durchlaufen. Etwa jede zehnte Ladung wird einer vollst\u00e4ndigen Sichtpr\u00fcfung unterzogen, und alle anderen werden einer Reihe von Scans und einem Berg von Papierkram unterzogen.\n\nNew Junction liegt auf einem nat\u00fcrlichen Landeplatz: den ausgedehnten Ebenen der \u00e4quatorialen Qoph-Region (ausgesprochen \"koff\"). W\u00e4hrend Lo eine allgemein gem\u00e4\u00dfigte Welt ist, befindet sich New Junction das ganze Jahr \u00fcber in einer der hei\u00dferen Regionen, was viele H\u00e4ndler w\u00e4hrend ihres Aufenthalts f\u00fcrchten. K\u00fchle Getr\u00e4nke und klimatisierte Gewohnheiten sind in der Region um New Junction immer sehr gefragt. Regelm\u00e4\u00dfige Staubst\u00fcrme in Kombination mit der Basis der Fertigh\u00e4user der Stadt und der riesigen Menge an Schiffscontainern, die vorbeikommen, sorgen f\u00fcr eine fast pr\u00e4historische \"Wildwest-Vibe\". Aber machen Sie keinen Fehler, dies ist nicht die gesetzlose Grenze: Ein Verm\u00f6gen an legitimer Schifffahrt geht jeden Tag durch Lo, \u00fcberwacht von sorgf\u00e4ltigen Zollagenten.\n\nCorel IV - Lenkrolle\nW\u00e4hrend Lo ein Paradebeispiel f\u00fcr die effiziente Industrie der Menschheit ist, ist Corel IV (von den Einheimischen Castor genannt) ein peinliches Beispiel f\u00fcr seine Hybris. Castor umkreist Corel mit einer Drehung von 641 SED und platziert es am Rande der bewohnbaren Gr\u00fcnbandzone des Sterns. Castor besteht aus riesigen Fl\u00e4chen gefrorener W\u00fcste und ist eine unheilvolle Welt ohne sofort ersichtlichen Grund f\u00fcr die menschliche Entwicklung. Dennoch wurde die Welt zu einem Symbol f\u00fcr den beabsichtigten Fortschritt w\u00e4hrend der Messer-\u00c4ra, einem weiteren Ziel in einem diktatorischen Marsch zu neuen Ebenen von Wissenschaft und Industrie. Milliarden von Credits in der Terraforming-Technologie sp\u00e4ter war der einst gefrorene W\u00fcstenplanet zu einem gefrorenen W\u00fcstenplaneten mit einer kaum atmungsaktiven Atmosph\u00e4re geworden.\n\nHeute lebt fast niemand mehr auf Castor und nur wenige von ihnen konnten Ihnen sagen, warum. Eine Handvoll Siedlungen sind rund um den Globus verteilt und konzentrierten sich haupts\u00e4chlich auf den Abbau von Eis im tiefen Bereich. Dar\u00fcber hinaus sinken die Bergleute bei gelegentlichen Caches mit seltenen Mineralien, die die W\u00fcste bedecken; die Entdeckung eines einzelnen Caches kann einen Minenbetrieb f\u00fcr mehrere Jahre profitabel machen. Bergbauvertr\u00e4ge sind der Grund, warum der Gro\u00dfteil der Einwohner auf den Planeten gekommen ist, und nur sehr wenige von ihnen beschlie\u00dfen, sich um ein zweites Jahr zu verl\u00e4ngern. H\u00e4ndler, die nach einem schnellen Kredit suchen, konnten jedoch kein besseres Publikum f\u00fcr Luxusg\u00fcter finden.\n\nCorel V & VI\nCorel V ist ein Standardgasriese. Ein massiver rotbrauner Planet, auf dem sich eine Gasernte befindet, der aber ansonsten unauff\u00e4llig ist. Corel VI ist ein unbewohnbarer Felsbrocken, der nur selten von Personen angetroffen wird, die das System passieren. Es weist eine seltsame Umlaufbahn auf, die weit von der elliptischen Ebene des Systems entfernt ist. Mit einer etwas weniger wichtigen Transitstation h\u00e4tte Corel VI zu einem vern\u00fcnftigen Vorposten f\u00fcr Schmuggler werden k\u00f6nnen, aber die Qualit\u00e4t und Konzentration der lokalen Streifenstreitkr\u00e4fte im System haben es als Ort f\u00fcr grenz\u00fcberschreitende Schwarzmarktschifffahrt praktisch unm\u00f6glich gemacht.","zh_CN":"Known as the gateway to the Banu Protectorate, Corel is a standard type G main sequence star with six large planets located on the border of the UEE.
