Bei all diesen spannenden Entwicklungen in Richtung einer strahlenden Zukunft scheinen viele die Vergangenheit der Stadt vergessen zu haben, vergessen zu haben, dass sie urspr\u00fcnglich gar keine Menschenstadt war.\n\nTats\u00e4chlich war das Ganze - die gesamte Landschaft, die sich so weit wie m\u00f6glich vom Berghang aus erstreckt, von Gemma aus gesehen - einst die Hauptstadt der Tevarin-Heimatwelt Kaleeth. Der Erste Tevarinkrieg endete damit, dass die Menschheit den Planeten einnahm, kolonisierte und in Elysium IV umbenannte. Die vertriebenen Tevarin wurden, ob freiwillig oder nicht, in die Kultur ihrer Eroberer aufgenommen. Urspr\u00fcnglich verboten, auf dem Planeten zu leben, auf dem sie sich entwickelten, zitieren viele diese Frustration als einen der Hauptfaktoren in Corath'Thals Waffenruf, der zum Zweiten Tevarinkrieg f\u00fchrte.\n\nNach dem Fall der Messers erlaubte Imperator Toi der Bev\u00f6lkerung der Tevarin, auf Wunsch in ihre Heimatwelt zur\u00fcckzukehren. Nur wenige nahmen ihr Angebot an.\n\nIm Laufe der Jahre sind die Tevarin immer tiefer in einen Sumpf aus Gewalt und Kriminalit\u00e4t gesunken. Generationen f\u00fcr Generationen wurden erzogen, um ihre alten Wege aktiv abzulehnen, aber das bedeutet nicht, dass sie die UEE annehmen, die Kultur in der Schwebe lassen, ohne eigene Identit\u00e4t durch das Leben driften.\n\nEin Tevarin hofft, das zu \u00e4ndern.\n\nSuj Kossi stammt aus einer gro\u00dfen Familie in den abgelegenen H\u00fcgeln au\u00dferhalb von Gemma. Er wird der Erste sein, der dir sagt, dass seine ersten Erinnerungen an Verbrechen waren.\n\n\"Eine meiner ersten Erinnerungen war eine Waffenschlacht, die in unserer K\u00fcche ausbrach. Aber ja, es war \u00fcberall. Wir hatten immer jemanden, der auf der Durchreise einen Job hatte oder eine Art Plan oder Raub organisierte.\"\n\nKossi konnte dem einfachen Geld nicht widerstehen und begann, sich seiner Familie bei \"risikoarmen Raub\u00fcberf\u00e4llen und Raub\u00fcberf\u00e4llen\" anzuschlie\u00dfen, aber sein Abstieg in die Kriminalit\u00e4t w\u00fcrde einen zackigen Weckruf erhalten, den nur wenige seiner Br\u00fcder beachten w\u00fcrden.\n\n\"Wir haben versucht, eine Wasserfarm au\u00dferhalb von Nedila auszurauben, als die Arbeiter sich wehrten. Meine Schwester wurde vor meinen Augen erschossen, bevor meine Familie sie abschlachtete. Als sich der Staub legte, fanden wir heraus, dass ihre Maschinen monatelang kaputt waren. Es gab nichts zu stehlen. Alle K\u00f6rper um mich herum und das f\u00fcr nichts. Es war so eine l\u00e4cherliche Verschwendung. Ich wusste nicht, was es genau war, aber ich wollte etwas Besseres.\"\n\nKossi erkannte, dass er nicht in der Lage sein w\u00fcrde, diese Ver\u00e4nderung in seinem derzeitigen Umfeld zu beeinflussen, und meldete sich bei der UEE Army an.\n\n\"Ich war mir ziemlich sicher, dass ich dort keine Verwandten treffen w\u00fcrde.\"\n\nDie Struktur und Disziplin des milit\u00e4rischen Lebens erwies sich als eine nat\u00fcrliche Anpassung an die Tevarin. Er diente mit Auszeichnung und wurde sogar f\u00fcr einen Transfer zur Marine f\u00fcr die Flugausbildung ausgew\u00e4hlt. Als Pilot verbrachte er drei Jahre damit, Sensorreparaturmissionen in Vanduul-Systemen durchzuf\u00fchren, aber selbst dies, eine der gef\u00e4hrlichsten Aufgaben in der Marine, war nichts im Vergleich zu seiner gr\u00f6\u00dften Angst: aussteigen.\n\nNach einer besonders verheerenden Reparaturmission, die den gr\u00f6\u00dften Teil seines Fluges in Anspruch nahm, verbrachte Kossi sechzehn Monate auf der Intensivstation. Obwohl er sich erholen w\u00fcrde, war seine milit\u00e4rische Karriere vorbei. Kossi erhielt eine Tapferkeitsmedaille f\u00fcr seine Rolle bei dieser Mission, Staatsb\u00fcrgerschaft und eine ehrenvolle Entlassung.\n\nSeine gr\u00f6\u00dfte Angst, so schien es, kam zum Tragen.\n\n\"Ehrlich gesagt, wusste ich nicht, was mich erwartet. Ein Teil von mir hatte Angst, dass ich ohne die Struktur des Milit\u00e4rs einfach wieder so werden w\u00fcrde, wie es war. Gl\u00fccklicherweise habe ich etwas gefunden, das mich konzentriert.\"\n\nDas \"Etwas\" war die Ustiel Housing Development, eine kleine Aktiengesellschaft, die eine Handvoll einkommensschwacher bis mittlerer Wohnungsbaugebiete um Gemma herum besa\u00df und verwaltete, in denen Kossi eine Wohnung bekam. Er bemerkte schnell, dass die Gesch\u00e4ftspraktiken von Ustiel bestenfalls fragw\u00fcrdig waren. Kossi organisierte die Mieter Human und Tevarin f\u00fcr eine Sammelklage gegen die Wohnungsgesellschaft, die zu einer Strafuntersuchung f\u00fchrte.\n\nDer Fall Ustiel entfachte eine neu entdeckte Leidenschaft des Tevarin-Veteranen: den sozialen Wandel.\n\nEs war diese Verfolgung, die Kossi in der vergangenen Woche zum Tempel von Rijora gebracht hat. Dort, im Schatten der wenigen verbliebenen Tevarin-Strukturen, k\u00fcndigte er seine Kandidatur f\u00fcr den UEE-Senat an.\n\n\"Viele meiner Leute haben sich so lange vor Wut und Scham gesuhlt, dass ich glaube, dass es das Einzige ist, was sie noch wissen. Ich glaube, es ist an der Zeit, dass unsere Kultur wieder auflebt - nicht wie fr\u00fcher, sondern wie wir jetzt sind. Wir sind Mitglieder der UEE, es ist Zeit, so zu handeln.\"\n\nWenn er gew\u00e4hlt w\u00fcrde, w\u00e4re er der erste Tevarin-Senator, aber es ist noch fr\u00fch. Angesichts der weit entfernten Wahlen ist es schwer zu sagen, wie der Weg f\u00fcr Suj Kossi und seinen Traum vom politischen Dienst aussehen wird, aber eines ist sicher: Er hat sicherlich die Aufmerksamkeit der Menschen, sowohl der Menschen als auch der Tevarin, auf sich gezogen.","zh_CN":"A CALL TO SERVICE\n\n\nBy Rachel Yevin\nContributor\n\n\nJALAN, ELYSIUM: These days, the city of Gemma is known for many things: the city\u2019s cultural scene has exploded in recent years after the rise of the vibrant NeoGeometric art movement in the Calleus District, Hartsford\u2019s recently won its third Silver Leaf for culinary excellence, and the technological sector has been recognized by the Engineering Society of Rhetor as a \u2018Place to Watch\u2019 in their annual newsletter.
