W\u00e4hrend das Team von THE OBSERVIST hier ist, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie das bestm\u00f6gliche Reiseerlebnis erhalten, geht der wahre Reisende \u00fcber das Sichere und Sichere hinaus in die wilden und unvorhersehbaren Ecken des Universums. Dies ist OBSERVIST DARK, der die Systeme beschreibt, bei denen die Sicherheit nicht gew\u00e4hrleistet ist.\n\nHeute bringen wir dich in die ultimative H\u00f6hle der Diebe. Die Hauptstadt des Verbrechens. Der Nexus der Ruchlosen. Das ist richtig, Reisender, wir sind auf dem Weg zum Cathcart-System.\n\nAdelaide Lorris entdeckte den Sprungpunkt in der Mitte des 25. Jahrhunderts - zu einer Zeit, als sie eine gesuchte Fl\u00fcchtige war. Als sie die Sprungdaten an die UNE \u00fcbergab, spekulierten viele, dass sie sich mit dem System versteckt hatte und enth\u00fcllten seinen Standort erst, als andere Entdecker beim Scannen in der Gegend entdeckt wurden. In einer faszinierenden Wendung der Ereignisse benannte sie das System schlie\u00dflich nach dem ber\u00fchmten Marschall, der sie 2464 niederstrecken w\u00fcrde.\n\nDie UNE hielt sich zur\u00fcck und beanspruchte das System f\u00fcr einige Zeit wegen des Fehlens von.... nun ja... alles. Abgesehen von einigen Asteroiden und kleineren Weltklippen r\u00fchmt sich das System keiner planetarischen Objekte, so dass es nichts wirklich zu behaupten gab. Die UNE wusste nicht wirklich, was sie mit dem System machen sollte, und w\u00e4hrend die Marine anfangs vorschlug, es f\u00fcr ein experimentelles system\u00fcbergreifendes Langstrecken-Kommunikationssystem zu verwenden, verlie\u00df sie das Projekt schlie\u00dflich.\n\nJahrhundertelang sammelte Cathcart langsam immer mehr M\u00fcll vom Milit\u00e4r, und dann begannen auch nahegelegene Unternehmen, ihn zu benutzen. Niemand wei\u00df genau, wann es passiert ist, aber auch in dieser Zeit entstand langsam etwas anderes: Hausbesetzer.\n\nIm Jahre 2750 entdeckte ein junger Marinepilot beim Ziehen des gebrochenen Rumpfes eines stillgelegten Schiffes etwas Bet\u00e4ubendes. Eine k\u00fcnstliche Struktur, die im ganzen Reich unter einem Namen bekannt ist:\n\nSPRITZER\nSpider wurde von Fl\u00fcchtlingen, Kriminellen und Verarmten aus den Knochen von Schiffen und alten Stationen gebaut und kann nur als eine mechanische Welt beschrieben werden, die sich st\u00e4ndig ver\u00e4ndert und in Form und Kontrolle w\u00e4chst. Die Gruppen, die bei einem Besuch die Landezonen besitzen und verwalten, k\u00f6nnten durch den n\u00e4chsten ersetzt werden, aber in dieser Ausgabe werden wir \u00fcber den einzigen Bereich sprechen, in dem dieser unerschrockene Entdecker Zugang erhalten k\u00f6nnte.\n\nNKZ\nWahrscheinlich die geheimnisvollste der Landezonen in Spider. W\u00e4hrend die von Fist & Nail und Dace Clan kontrollierten Gebiete stolz ihre Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit im Freien tragen, wei\u00df niemand wirklich, wer NKZ kontrolliert, aber die Regeln werden dem Betretenden unmissverst\u00e4ndlich klar gemacht: Lassen Sie Ihren Groll auf der Landebucht zur\u00fcck. Ich m\u00f6chte alle M\u00f6chtegern-Besucher dringend bitten, die Entschlossenheit der Einheimischen in dieser Angelegenheit nicht zu testen.\n\nDas ist richtig. NKZ ist ein Ort, an dem man Gesch\u00e4fte machen kann, wenn man sich keine Sorgen machen will, dass man sich durch den Hinterkopf schie\u00dfen l\u00e4sst. Der Frieden ist so gut erhalten, dass JOKER ENTERPRISES hier sogar einen \"inoffiziellen\" Showroom betreibt.\n\nAls sie in dem Hangar landeten, der omin\u00f6s LIMBO hie\u00df, konnte man erkennen, dass es ihnen ernst war. Besatzungst\u00fcrme verfolgen Ihr Schiff, w\u00e4hrend es langsam absteigt und sich auf dem Landeplatz niederl\u00e4sst. Der Diensthabende wird nicht besonders h\u00f6flich, aber effizient sein, da er Ihr Schiff zum tempor\u00e4ren Hangar transportiert.\n\nWenn Sie in NKZ selbst eintreten, werden Sie \u00fcber die Vielfalt der Menschen im Inneren schockiert sein. Von Mensch bis Xi'An, offensichtlich wohlhabend bis kaum vorbeikommend, ist es ein bizarrer Zusammenfluss von Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten. Es wird nicht verwunderlich sein, dass die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Versammlung in der lokalen Lounge stattfindet. W\u00e4hrend der SPINWARD TOXIN FARM nach dem letzten Ort klingt, an dem man einen Drink trinken m\u00f6chte, sind die talentierten Bar-Mitarbeiter durchaus die Chemiker, wenn es um entspannende Trinkgelage geht.\n\nBevor ich zu NKZ kam, wurde mir gesagt, dass es hier einen Schwarzmarkt gibt, aber leider konnte ich ihn nicht finden. Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass es sie nicht gibt.\n\nNochmals, es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass Reisen nach Cathcart an sich schon ein gef\u00e4hrliches Unterfangen ist und Reisende alle Vorsichtsma\u00dfnahmen treffen sollten, wenn sie versuchen, Spider zu besuchen, aber f\u00fcr diejenigen, die immer noch ein wahres Wunderwerk der menschlichen Innovation sehen wollen, wird keine Warnung abschrecken. Es ist eine Sache, es von mir beschreiben zu h\u00f6ren; du solltest es wirklich selbst beobachten.","zh_CN":"Greetings, traveler, there are millions of sights to see in the universe.
