If you\u2019re new to this feature, please check the first issue for the caveats and background reading.\n\nWithout further ado, let\u2019s get to it.\n\nBEVERAGES\nLast week we asked for ideas detailing what kind of beverages could be out there in the \u2019verse and the response was a staggering five hundred comments. We\u2019ve got every possible kind of drink in there, from commercial brands to mixed drink recipes, energy drinks to water substitutes.\n\nWhile we\u2019ve incorporated almost all these ideas into our internal spreadsheet, along with contributions from previous issues like celebrities, criminals and Murray Cup racers, we are going to showcase ten of our favorite submissions for a special contest. In short, we are going to have a poll asking you which of these ten you like the most. We will take the winning beverage and submit it to our graphic designers to create a logo.\n\n#1\nFrom: KillEmAll\nCorporate Owner: Terra Mills\nBrand Name: Snazzle\nType of Beverage: Natural Fizzy Fruit Juice\nVarieties: Every fruit combo you can think of.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Another in a line of storable beverages, Snazzle is a carbonated juice drink with a high tech twist. The carbonation is actually dormant, being stored in nanobeads throughout the drink and maintained in that state under pressure. When the drink is opened, the pressure is released, the nanobeads burst, and the drink is instantly carbonated and rendered fizzy, so Snazzle never goes \u2018flat\u2019 in storage. Snazzle is an older brand but universally popular throughout Human space. Often older consumers introduce it to their kids since there are no extra sugars added so it has a lot of nostalgia and tradition momentum.\n\n#2\nFrom: Drune\nCorporate Owner: Dugal Traditional Scotches: The oldest Scotch Whisky distillery on Earth, Founded in 2504.\nBrand Name: Dugal\u2019s\nType of Beverage: Scotch\nVarieties: There is mainly Dugal\u2019s Original. Forty years ago Dugal\u2019s 400-year anniversary brand came out. It is said a bottle of the 400th anniversary can be bought for the same price as a 300i.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: It is a very upper class drink because of the high price. The high price is mainly due to the limited range and amount of Scotch they can produce and maintain their integrity. It is often purchased by some of the middle class as a luxury drink and only drunk it at a special occasion.\n\n#3\nFrom: Animal Mother\nCorporate Owner: Kessler\u2019s MRE co.\nBrand Name: Synergy\nType of Beverage: Soft Drink and Energy Drink Varieties\nVariety: SynergyMRE\/SynergySport\/Synergy+\/Synergy (Original Flavour, Lime, Orange)\/Synergy Lite\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: When Synergy was first released, its small form factor (laminated foil pouches) and high nutritional content meant it was first and foremost a deep space explorers\u2019 drink. As time went on and the company wanted to focus on other demographics, they re-branded their original drink to SynergyMRE, to signify to the public its ideal solution for long hauls with no pit-stops. Although SynergyMRE can be sold separately, Kessler\u2019s often place them in crated varietal packs, along with many of its other MRE meals solutions for the rationing space pilot.\n\nDuring the re-branding to SynergyMRE, the company focused on products that would keep those of an active nature awake (Party Goers, Students, \u201cSpace Truckers\u201d). Synergy+ comes in a slim can, and is reminiscent of the Taurine drinks similar to Redbull, Monster, Rockstar. It is thought that Synergy+ is responsible for several deaths of students drinking 5-8 cans in a single night, trying to get their reports done on time.\n\nSynergySport is ideal for those who have an active role in high intensity workouts. It is served in a squeezy bottle.\n\nSynergy is labelled a soft drink and is focused on minors and young adults, it is a sugary drink served in different sized screw top bottle. It has three flavors and a lite version that uses natural flavorings instead of sugar to mimic the original flavor.\n\n#4\nFrom: Perry the Cynic\nCorporate Owner: Liberty Lake Brewers, a division of Terra Total Breweries\nBrand Name: Liberty Lake\nType of Beverage: Beer\nVarieties: Terra Liberty, Pike Liberty, Gen Liberty; occasional special labels\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Middle class, common on Terra; somewhat upscale elsewhere; banned on Earth.\n\nLiberty beer was created by Liberty Lake Brewers, a family cooperative on Terra. The owners played up their support for Terran independence, which got them a faithful following of local drinkers. Liberty beer is big business now, but you couldn\u2019t tell from its labels or advertising, where plucky Terran explorers perpetually step onto unknown planets to plant their flags and beer kegs, usually just ahead of some hapless Earth exploration conglomerate flunky. Terra Liberty is a decent Hefeweizen; Pike Liberty is a brown ale; and Gen Liberty is Porter-style. On big holidays, we sometimes get a batch of Aero Liberty, which is Pike laced with a local tequila.\n\nA while ago, Liberty beer was banned from Earth due to a health scare. The manufacturer refused to contest the ruling and instead its bottles proclaim proudly, to this day, \u201cBanned from Earth!\u201d\n\n#5\nFrom: Madran\nCorporate Owner: A dominant Spider faction (or even simply the bar owners)\nBrand name: (Spider) Bite.\nType of beverage: extremely Strong synthesized Alcohol. (like moonshine)\nVarieties: Ostensibly it is all the same, but due to the unreliable machines used in its manufacture (they would be centuries old) rumors about poisonous, or even hallucinogenic batches abound.\nEconomic\/Demographic circles: Definitely not a sophisticated beverage, but I could see it making its way around the \u2018verse, especially to less reputable establishments.\n\n#6\nFrom: Grand Bagelmeister\nSummary: Frontier world beer\nCorporate Owner: Magnate Co (Magnus system)\nBrand Name: Iron Adze\nType of Beverage: Beer\nVarieties: Original (simple, not highly corporatized)\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Frontier world bars, especially those frequented by heavy laborers.\nDescription: Like other Magnate products, it targets those who feel detached from and ignored by the UEE, emphasizing hardworking values. It\u2019s cheap enough for a frontier miner, but prides itself for its taste, with a competitive price point and flavor. The beer has a signature, faint purple glow to it caused by luminescent dyes produced in the fermentation process by bacteria native to Magnus II.\n\n#7\nFrom: Dutch\nCorporate Owner: Nu-trite \u2013 A subsidiary of Amalgus Biotech\nBrand Name: Cruz (pronounced \u2018cruise\u2019)\nType of Beverage: All-in-one nutrition\/meal-replacement drink.\nVarieties:\nFlow \u2013 The original, high-nutrition variety designed for sustaining pilots who don\u2019t have the time, space or inclination to eat a traditional meal. Each can contains a tiny grav-generator that separates the two flavors by fluid density, giving the drinker a savory first half followed by a sweeter \u2018dessert\u2019 flavor. Nutritional value of each flavor segment is identical.\nDark \u2013 Marketed at men. Flavor is malty with a sweet, molasses-like edge. Higher calorie count.\nLux \u2013 Marketed at women. Nutrition balanced for female physiology with fewer calories. Sweet with a slightly spicy taste.\nPulse \u2013 Marketed at younger drinkers. Nutritional value is reduced to encourage repeat consumption and contains controversial energy boosting adrenaline-like synthetic compounds. Mixed fruit flavor.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Drunk by spacers, students and the military. A favorite of freighter captains due to corporate deals that make it a cheaper alternative to feeding their crew solid foods.\n\n#8\nFrom: Jaeton\nCorporate Owner: Fujin Brewing Company\nBrand Name: K\u014den Shochu, K\u014den Sake\nType of Beverage: Shochu and Sake\nVarieties: Sake, Shochu and Shochu-Highballs (shortened to Chu-High), a canned mixed drink using Shochu as a base and mixed with fruit juices or soda.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Enjoyed by all classes that have a traditional Earthen Japanese Expatriate culture especially popular on Saisei and around the Centauri system. In recent years is becoming trendy among the UEE citizens who are up and coming. The luxury exports from Saisei began to spread into the homes of the new wealthy as Citizens longed to differentiate themselves from an Earth that they find repressive and old-fashioned.\n\nThe K\u014den brand is named after the famous Nessa Park located in the heart of Fujin City. K\u014den means \u201cpark\u201d in ancient Earth Japanese. The brand began to be brewed in a simple and traditional manner from the special rices that have developed in the carefully nurtured environments to be found on Saisei. The sake and shochu are considered to be some of the best in the UEE. While consistently of high quality, they are not priced out of the reach of the middle class.\n\nThe recent craze for the shochu-highball started at the famous Nessa Park Bistro. They made the cocktail by serving K\u014den shochu mixed with a variety of local juices and served over ice, a flavorful light cocktail that became synonymous with the park. Recently the Fujin brewing company began selling pre-mixed canned versions of the shochu-highball affectionately known as \u201cChu-Highs\u201d.\n\n#9\nFrom: Kodo\nCorporate Owner: Torreele Foodstuffs\nBrand Name: Black Mountain\nType of Beverage: Stimulant\nVarieties: Various strengths: Rich, medium blend, mild.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Widely popular among Humans and Tevarin.\nSujin root tea, native to Elysium IV, is a traditional Tevarin beverage and has been produced for thousands of years. The root is white and looks quite similar to ginger in terms of size and shape. It\u2019s most often found at relatively high elevations. Ground into flakes and steeped in boiling water, Sujin root tea is milky white in appearance and has a stimulant effect on both Tevarin and Humans. The effect on Tevarin is quite mild, while on Humans it\u2019s quite strong, much more so than coffee. It\u2019s popular among spacers for its long-lasting stimulant effect, is very mildly addictive and has no side effects if consumed in moderation. Drinking too much can cause quite severe headaches. Sujin is slightly bitter and has an earthy aftertaste. It smells quite strong. Inhaling Sujin vapor is a good way to open up stuffed sinuses.\n\nSujin roots are grown on several planets, and most Sujin-lovers prefer to grind the fresh roots for themselves, however there are many brand-name suppliers of prepared roots. Torreele sells high-grade vacuum-packed Sujin powder under the Black Mountain brand.\n\n#10\nFrom: Iva\nCorporate Owner: Bilva Brandy Brewers\nBrand Name: B3\nType of Beverage: Brandy\nVarieties: B3 Uncut 160 proof, B3 Original 100 proof, B3 Smooth (50 proof).\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Students on Rhetor IV (Mentor) quickly discovered that local plum-like fruit \u2014 \u201cbilva\u201d \u2014 can be used as a base for strong spirit brandy. First it was an amateur \u201chomemade\u201d product known only on Mentor, but it got huge popularity when group of students started smuggling it to Rhetor III (Reisse) campus in 2872. The same three students two years later start Bilva Brandy Brewers company (Mentor based) and brandy \u2013 B3 become huge success system wide.\n\n\u201cHardcore\u201d and expensive version is 160 proof uncut straight brandy (limited edition) served always neat, sold in handcrafted colorful bottles (color palette changes every year). It\u2019s especially popular within the Elite Naval Guard garrison on Rhetor II (Persei). Less extreme consumers prefer Original 100 proof version sold in half liter \u201cunbreakable bottles\u201d; it mixes very well in cocktails (university professor\u2019s favorite drink). B3 smooth is lower alcohol level \u201cmass market\u201d brandy sold in huge variety \u2013 from small plastic one-sip containers to huge gallon bottles. B3 smooth never got too popular on Mentor (as students there prefer B3 Original) but it is a huge market success on Reisse where it is present at every student party.\n\nThe voting window will go from now until next Wednesday at 11:59pst, so please vote below. And if you missed the original batch of submissions and have some fantastic ideas for beverages, feel free to post them in the comments below.\n\nNext week, we\u2019ll reveal the winner from this week\u2019s poll and open up a new topic for discussion.\n\nUNTIL NEXT TIME\u2026","de_DE":"Hallo und willkommen zur\u00fcck zu LORE BUILDER, wo wir die riesigen, unentdeckten Ecken der \u00dcberlieferung des Star Citizen-Universums erkunden. Wenn Sie neu in dieser Funktion sind, lesen Sie bitte die erste Ausgabe f\u00fcr die Vorbehalte und Hintergrundinformationen.\n\nOhne weiteres, kommen wir zur Sache.\n\nGETR\u00c4NKE\nLetzte Woche haben wir nach Ideen gefragt, welche Art von Getr\u00e4nken es im Vers geben k\u00f6nnte, und die Antwort war atemberaubende f\u00fcnfhundert Kommentare. Wir haben jede erdenkliche Art von Getr\u00e4nken im Angebot, von kommerziellen Marken \u00fcber Rezepte f\u00fcr Mischgetr\u00e4nke, Energy-Drinks bis hin zu Wasserersatzstoffen.\n\nW\u00e4hrend wir fast alle diese Ideen in unsere interne Tabelle aufgenommen haben, zusammen mit Beitr\u00e4gen aus fr\u00fcheren Ausgaben wie Prominente, Kriminelle und Murray Cup-Rennfahrer, werden wir zehn unserer Lieblingsbeitr\u00e4ge f\u00fcr einen speziellen Wettbewerb pr\u00e4sentieren. Kurz gesagt, wir werden eine Umfrage durchf\u00fchren, in der wir Sie fragen, welche dieser zehn Ihnen am besten gef\u00e4llt. Wir nehmen das Gewinnergetr\u00e4nk und reichen es unseren Grafikern zur Erstellung eines Logos ein.\n\n#1\nVon: KillEmAll\nFirmeninhaber: Terra Mills\nMarkenname: N\u00e4sse\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Nat\u00fcrlicher sprudelnder Fruchtsaft\nSorten: Jede Obstkombination, die dir einf\u00e4llt.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Eine weitere in einer Reihe von lagerf\u00e4higen Getr\u00e4nken, Snazzle ist ein kohlens\u00e4urehaltiges Saftgetr\u00e4nk mit einem High-Tech-Twist. Die Karbonisierung ist eigentlich ruhend, wird in Nanoperlen im gesamten Getr\u00e4nk gespeichert und unter Druck gehalten. Wenn das Getr\u00e4nk ge\u00f6ffnet wird, wird der Druck abgebaut, die Nanopartikel platzen, und das Getr\u00e4nk wird sofort kohlens\u00e4urehaltig und kohlens\u00e4urehaltig, so dass Snazzle bei der Lagerung nie \"flach\" wird. Snazzle ist eine \u00e4ltere Marke, aber allgemein beliebt im gesamten menschlichen Raum. Oftmals f\u00fchren \u00e4ltere Verbraucher es ihren Kindern vor, da kein zus\u00e4tzlicher Zucker hinzugef\u00fcgt wird, so dass es viel Nostalgie und Traditionsdynamik hat.\n\n#2\nVon: Drune\nFirmeninhaber: Dugal Traditionelle Scotches: Die \u00e4lteste schottische Whisky-Destillerie der Welt, gegr\u00fcndet 2504.\nMarkenname: Dugal's\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Scotch\nSorten: Es gibt haupts\u00e4chlich Dugals Original. Vor vierzig Jahren erschien die 400-j\u00e4hrige Jubil\u00e4umsmarke von Dugal. Es wird gesagt, dass eine Flasche zum 400. Jahrestag zum gleichen Preis wie ein 300i gekauft werden kann.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Es ist wegen des hohen Preises ein sehr hochwertiges Getr\u00e4nk. Der hohe Preis ist haupts\u00e4chlich auf die begrenzte Auswahl und Menge an Scotch zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren, die sie produzieren und ihre Integrit\u00e4t erhalten k\u00f6nnen. Er wird von einigen Mittelst\u00e4ndlern oft als Luxusgetr\u00e4nk gekauft und nur zu einem besonderen Anlass getrunken.\n\n#3\nVon: Tierische Mutter\nFirmeninhaber: Kessler's MRE Co.\nMarkenname: Synergieeffekte\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Erfrischungsgetr\u00e4nke und Energy-Drink-Sorten\nVielfalt: SynergyMRE\/SynergySport\/Synergy+\/Synergy (Original Geschmack, Limette, Orange)\/Synergy Lite\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Als Synergy auf den Markt kam, war es aufgrund seines kleinen Formfaktors (laminierte Folienbeutel) und seines hohen N\u00e4hrstoffgehalts in erster Linie ein Getr\u00e4nk f\u00fcr Weltraumforscher. Mit der Zeit und dem Wunsch, sich auf andere demografische Bereiche zu konzentrieren, wurde das Originalgetr\u00e4nk in SynergyMRE umbenannt, um der \u00d6ffentlichkeit die ideale L\u00f6sung f\u00fcr Langstrecken ohne Boxenstopps zu pr\u00e4sentieren. Obwohl SynergyMRE separat erh\u00e4ltlich ist, werden sie von Kessler oft in verpackten Sortenpackungen platziert, zusammen mit vielen anderen MRE-Mahlzeiten f\u00fcr den rationierenden Raumfahrer.\n\nW\u00e4hrend der Umbenennung in SynergyMRE konzentrierte sich das Unternehmen auf Produkte, die diejenigen mit aktiver Natur wach halten sollten (Partyg\u00e4nger, Studenten, \"Space Trucker\"). Synergy+ kommt in einer schlanken Dose und erinnert an die Taurin-Getr\u00e4nke \u00e4hnlich wie Redbull, Monster, Rockstar. Es wird angenommen, dass Synergy+ f\u00fcr mehrere Todesf\u00e4lle von Sch\u00fclern verantwortlich ist, die 5-8 Dosen in einer einzigen Nacht trinken und versuchen, ihre Berichte rechtzeitig fertig zu stellen.\n\nSynergySport ist ideal f\u00fcr diejenigen, die eine aktive Rolle bei hochintensiven Trainingseinheiten spielen. Es wird in einer prallen Flasche serviert.\n\nSynergy wird als Erfrischungsgetr\u00e4nk bezeichnet und richtet sich an Minderj\u00e4hrige und junge Erwachsene, es ist ein zuckerhaltiges Getr\u00e4nk, das in einer Flasche mit Schraubverschluss verschiedener Gr\u00f6\u00dfe serviert wird. Es hat drei Geschmacksrichtungen und eine Lite-Version, die nat\u00fcrliche Aromen anstelle von Zucker verwendet, um den urspr\u00fcnglichen Geschmack nachzuahmen.\n\n#4\nVon: Perry der Zyniker\nFirmeninhaber: Liberty Lake Brewers, eine Abteilung von Terra Total Breweries.\nMarkenname: Liberty Lake\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Bier\nSorten: Terra Liberty, Pike Liberty, Gen Liberty; gelegentlich spezielle Etiketten\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Mittelklasse, verbreitet auf Terra; etwas gehoben anderswo; auf der Erde verboten.\n\nDas Liberty-Bier wurde von Liberty Lake Brewers, einer Familienkooperative auf Terra, kreiert. Die Besitzer sprachen sich f\u00fcr die Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit Terranas aus, was ihnen eine treue Anh\u00e4ngerschaft von lokalen Trinkern bescherte. Liberty-Bier ist jetzt ein gro\u00dfes Gesch\u00e4ft, aber man konnte es nicht an den Etiketten oder der Werbung erkennen, wo mutige Terraner Entdecker st\u00e4ndig auf unbekannte Planeten treten, um ihre Flaggen und Bierf\u00e4sser zu pflanzen, normalerweise kurz vor einem gl\u00fccklosen Erderkundungskonzern, der Lunky ist. Terra Liberty ist ein anst\u00e4ndiger Hefeweizen; Pike Liberty ist ein braunes Bier; und Gen Liberty ist Porter-Stil. An gro\u00dfen Feiertagen bekommen wir manchmal eine Ladung Aero Liberty, das ist Pike geschn\u00fcrt mit einem lokalen Tequila.\n\nVor einer Weile wurde das Liberty-Bier wegen einer Gesundheitsgef\u00e4hrdung von der Erde verbannt. Der Hersteller weigerte sich, das Urteil anzufechten, und stattdessen verk\u00fcnden seine Flaschen stolz bis heute: \"Von der Erde verbannt\"!\n\n#5\nVon: Madran\nFirmeninhaber: Eine dominante Spider-Fraktion (oder auch nur die Barbesitzer).\nMarkenname: (Spinne) Biss.\nArt des Getr\u00e4nks: extrem starker synthetisierter Alkohol. (wie Mondschein)\nSorten: Angeblich ist es alles gleich, aber aufgrund der unzuverl\u00e4ssigen Maschinen, die bei der Herstellung verwendet werden (sie w\u00e4ren Jahrhunderte alt), gibt es Ger\u00fcchte \u00fcber giftige oder sogar halluzinogene Chargen.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Definitiv kein raffiniertes Getr\u00e4nk, aber ich konnte sehen, wie es sich im Vers durchsetzte, besonders in weniger angesehenen Lokalen.\n\n#6\nVon: Gro\u00dfer Bagelmeister\nZusammenfassung: Frontier World Bier\nFirmeninhaber: Magnate Co (Magnus-System)\nMarkenname: Eisen Adze\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Bier\nSorten: Original (einfach, nicht stark korporatisiert)\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Frontier World Bars, vor allem solche, die von Schwerstarbeitern besucht werden.\nBeschreibung: Wie andere Magnate Produkte richtet sich auch dieses Produkt an diejenigen, die sich von der UEE losgel\u00f6st und ignoriert f\u00fchlen und flei\u00dfige Werte hervorheben. Es ist billig genug f\u00fcr einen Frontier-Miner, aber stolz auf seinen Geschmack, mit einem wettbewerbsf\u00e4higen Preis und Geschmack. Das Bier hat eine charakteristische, schwache violette F\u00e4rbung, die durch Leuchtfarbstoffe verursacht wird, die w\u00e4hrend des G\u00e4rungsprozesses von Bakterien produziert werden, die in Magnus II heimisch sind.\n\n#7\nVon: Niederl\u00e4ndisch\nFirmeninhaber: Nu-trite - Eine Tochtergesellschaft von Amalgus Biotech\nMarkenname: Cruz (ausgesprochen \"cruise\")\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: All-in-One Ern\u00e4hrungs-\/Mahlzeitersatzgetr\u00e4nk.\nSorten:\nFlow - Die urspr\u00fcngliche, nahrhafte Sorte, die f\u00fcr Piloten entwickelt wurde, die nicht die Zeit, den Platz oder die Neigung haben, eine traditionelle Mahlzeit zu essen. Jede Dose enth\u00e4lt einen winzigen Grav-Generator, der die beiden Aromen durch die Fl\u00fcssigkeitsdichte trennt, was dem Trinker eine schmackhafte erste H\u00e4lfte gibt, gefolgt von einem s\u00fc\u00dferen \"Dessert\"-Aroma. Der N\u00e4hrwert der einzelnen Aromensegmente ist identisch.\nDunkel - Wird an M\u00e4nner vermarktet. Der Geschmack ist malzig mit einem s\u00fc\u00dfen, melasseartigen Rand. H\u00f6here Kalorienzufuhr.\nLux - Vermarktet bei Frauen. Ausgewogene Ern\u00e4hrung f\u00fcr die weibliche Physiologie mit weniger Kalorien. S\u00fc\u00df mit einem leicht w\u00fcrzigen Geschmack.\nPulse - Wird an j\u00fcngere Trinker vermarktet. Der N\u00e4hrwert wird reduziert, um den wiederholten Konsum zu f\u00f6rdern, und enth\u00e4lt umstrittene Energie, die Adrenalin-\u00e4hnliche synthetische Verbindungen f\u00f6rdert. Gemischter Fruchtaroma.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Betrunken von Spacern, Studenten und dem Milit\u00e4r. Ein Favorit von Frachtschiffkapit\u00e4nen aufgrund von Gesch\u00e4ftsabschl\u00fcssen, die es zu einer billigeren Alternative zur Versorgung ihrer Crew mit festen Lebensmitteln machen.\n\n#8\nVon: Jaeton\nFirmeninhaber: Fujin Brauerei Unternehmen\nMarkenname: K\u014den Shochu, K\u014den Sake\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Shochu und Sake\nSorten: Sake, Shochu und Shochu-Highballs (kurz Chu-High), ein konserviertes Mischgetr\u00e4nk auf Shochu-Basis, das mit Fruchts\u00e4ften oder Soda vermischt wird.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Genossen von allen Klassen, die eine traditionelle irdene japanische Auswandererkultur haben, die besonders beliebt ist in Saisei und im Centauri-System. In den letzten Jahren wird es immer trendy unter den UEE-B\u00fcrgern, die auf dem Vormarsch sind. Die Luxusexporte aus Saisei begannen sich in den H\u00e4usern der neuen Reichen zu verbreiten, da sich die B\u00fcrger danach sehnten, sich von einer Erde zu unterscheiden, die sie repressiv und altmodisch finden.\n\nDie Marke K\u014den ist nach dem ber\u00fchmten Nessa-Park im Herzen von Fujin City benannt. K\u014den bedeutet \"Park\" im alten Japanisch der Erde. Die Marke wurde auf einfache und traditionelle Weise aus den Spezialreisprodukten gebraut, die sich in den sorgf\u00e4ltig gepflegten Umgebungen auf Saisei entwickelt haben. Der Sake und Shochu gelten als einige der besten in der UEE. Obwohl sie von gleichbleibend hoher Qualit\u00e4t sind, sind sie nicht au\u00dferhalb der Reichweite der Mittelklasse angesiedelt.\n\nDie j\u00fcngste Begeisterung f\u00fcr den Shochu-Nachbarn begann im ber\u00fchmten Nessa Park Bistro. Sie machten den Cocktail, indem sie K\u014den Shochu mit einer Vielzahl von lokalen S\u00e4ften mischten und \u00fcber Eis servierten, einen geschmackvollen leichten Cocktail, der zum Synonym f\u00fcr den Park wurde. Vor kurzem begann die Brauerei Fujin mit dem Verkauf von vorgemischten Konservenversionen des Shochu-Nachbarn, der liebevoll als \"Chu-Highs\" bekannt ist.\n\n#9\nVon: Kodo\nFirmeninhaber: Torreele Lebensmittel\nMarkenname: Schwarzer Berg\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Stimulans\nSorten: Verschiedene St\u00e4rken: Reichhaltig, mittlere Mischung, mild.\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Sehr beliebt bei Menschen und Tevarin.\nSujin Wurzeltee, der aus Elysium IV stammt, ist ein traditionelles Tevarin-Getr\u00e4nk und wird seit Jahrtausenden hergestellt. Die Wurzel ist wei\u00df und sieht in Gr\u00f6\u00dfe und Form dem Ingwer sehr \u00e4hnlich. Sie ist am h\u00e4ufigsten in relativ hohen Lagen zu finden. In Flocken gemahlen und in kochendem Wasser eingeweicht, ist Sujin Wurzeltee milchig-wei\u00df und hat eine stimulierende Wirkung auf Tevarin und den Menschen. Die Wirkung auf Tevarin ist recht mild, w\u00e4hrend sie auf den Menschen ziemlich stark ist, viel st\u00e4rker als Kaffee. Es ist bei Spacern wegen seiner lang anhaltenden stimulierenden Wirkung beliebt, wirkt sehr leicht s\u00fcchtig machend und hat keine Nebenwirkungen, wenn es in Ma\u00dfen verzehrt wird. Zu viel Trinken kann zu starken Kopfschmerzen f\u00fchren. Sujin ist leicht bitter und hat einen erdigen Nachgeschmack. Es riecht ziemlich stark. Das Einatmen von Sujin-Dampf ist eine gute M\u00f6glichkeit, gef\u00fcllte Nebenh\u00f6hlen zu \u00f6ffnen.\n\nSujin-Wurzeln werden auf mehreren Planeten angebaut, und die meisten Sujin-Liebhaber ziehen es vor, die frischen Wurzeln selbst zu mahlen, aber es gibt viele Markenanbieter von vorbereiteten Wurzeln. Torreele verkauft hochwertiges vakuumverpacktes Sujin-Pulver unter der Marke Black Mountain.\n\n#10\nVon: Iva\nFirmeninhaber: Bilva Brandy Brauereien\nMarkenname: B3\nArt der Getr\u00e4nke: Brandy\nSorten: B3 Unbeschnitten 160 Proof, B3 Original 100 Proof, B3 Glatt (50 Proof).\nWirtschaftliche\/demographische Kreise: Die Sch\u00fcler von Rhetor IV (Mentor) entdeckten schnell, dass die lokale pflaumen\u00e4hnliche Frucht - \"bilva\" - als Grundlage f\u00fcr starken Brandy verwendet werden kann. Zuerst war es ein Amateurprodukt, das nur auf Mentor bekannt war, aber es bekam gro\u00dfe Popularit\u00e4t, als eine Gruppe von Studenten anfing, es 2872 auf den Campus von Rhetor III (Reisse) zu schmuggeln. Die gleichen drei Studenten gr\u00fcnden zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter die Bilva Brandy Brewers Company (Mentor-basiert) und Brandy - B3 wird zu einem gro\u00dfen systemweiten Erfolg.\n\n\"Hardcore\" und teure Version ist 160 proof unbeschnittener gerader Brandy (limitierte Auflage), der immer ordentlich serviert wird, verkauft in handgefertigten bunten Flaschen (die Farbpalette wechselt jedes Jahr). Es ist besonders beliebt in der Elitegarde auf Rhetor II (Persei). Weniger extreme Verbraucher bevorzugen die Original 100 Proof-Version, die in halben Liter \"unzerbrechlichen Flaschen\" verkauft wird; sie mischt sich sehr gut in Cocktails (das Lieblingsgetr\u00e4nk des Universit\u00e4tsprofessors). B3 smooth ist ein \"Massenmarkt\"-Brandwein mit niedrigem Alkoholgehalt, der in gro\u00dfer Vielfalt verkauft wird - von kleinen Plastikbeh\u00e4ltern mit einem Kr\u00fcmel bis hin zu riesigen Gallonenflaschen. B3 smooth wurde bei Mentor nie zu beliebt (da die Studenten dort B3 Original bevorzugen), aber es ist ein gro\u00dfer Markterfolg auf Reisse, wo es auf jeder Studentenparty pr\u00e4sent ist.\n\nDas Abstimmungsfenster l\u00e4uft von jetzt bis n\u00e4chsten Mittwoch um 11:59 Uhr, also bitte unten abstimmen. Und wenn Sie die urspr\u00fcngliche Charge von Einreichungen verpasst haben und einige fantastische Ideen f\u00fcr Getr\u00e4nke haben, k\u00f6nnen Sie diese gerne in den Kommentaren unten ver\u00f6ffentlichen.\n\nN\u00e4chste Woche werden wir den Gewinner der diesw\u00f6chigen Umfrage bekannt geben und ein neues Thema zur Diskussion stellen.\n\nBIS ZUM N\u00c4CHSTEN MAL......","zh_CN":"Hello and welcome back to LORE BUILDER, where we explore the vast undiscovered corners of the Star Citizen universe\u2019s lore. If you\u2019re new to this feature, please check the first issue for the caveats and background reading.\n\nWithout further ado, let\u2019s get to it.\n\nBEVERAGES\nLast week we asked for ideas detailing what kind of beverages could be out there in the \u2019verse and the response was a staggering five hundred comments. We\u2019ve got every possible kind of drink in there, from commercial brands to mixed drink recipes, energy drinks to water substitutes.\n\nWhile we\u2019ve incorporated almost all these ideas into our internal spreadsheet, along with contributions from previous issues like celebrities, criminals and Murray Cup racers, we are going to showcase ten of our favorite submissions for a special contest. In short, we are going to have a poll asking you which of these ten you like the most. We will take the winning beverage and submit it to our graphic designers to create a logo.\n\n#1\nFrom: KillEmAll\nCorporate Owner: Terra Mills\nBrand Name: Snazzle\nType of Beverage: Natural Fizzy Fruit Juice\nVarieties: Every fruit combo you can think of.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Another in a line of storable beverages, Snazzle is a carbonated juice drink with a high tech twist. The carbonation is actually dormant, being stored in nanobeads throughout the drink and maintained in that state under pressure. When the drink is opened, the pressure is released, the nanobeads burst, and the drink is instantly carbonated and rendered fizzy, so Snazzle never goes \u2018flat\u2019 in storage. Snazzle is an older brand but universally popular throughout Human space. Often older consumers introduce it to their kids since there are no extra sugars added so it has a lot of nostalgia and tradition momentum.\n\n#2\nFrom: Drune\nCorporate Owner: Dugal Traditional Scotches: The oldest Scotch Whisky distillery on Earth, Founded in 2504.\nBrand Name: Dugal\u2019s\nType of Beverage: Scotch\nVarieties: There is mainly Dugal\u2019s Original. Forty years ago Dugal\u2019s 400-year anniversary brand came out. It is said a bottle of the 400th anniversary can be bought for the same price as a 300i.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: It is a very upper class drink because of the high price. The high price is mainly due to the limited range and amount of Scotch they can produce and maintain their integrity. It is often purchased by some of the middle class as a luxury drink and only drunk it at a special occasion.\n\n#3\nFrom: Animal Mother\nCorporate Owner: Kessler\u2019s MRE co.\nBrand Name: Synergy\nType of Beverage: Soft Drink and Energy Drink Varieties\nVariety: SynergyMRE\/SynergySport\/Synergy+\/Synergy (Original Flavour, Lime, Orange)\/Synergy Lite\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: When Synergy was first released, its small form factor (laminated foil pouches) and high nutritional content meant it was first and foremost a deep space explorers\u2019 drink. As time went on and the company wanted to focus on other demographics, they re-branded their original drink to SynergyMRE, to signify to the public its ideal solution for long hauls with no pit-stops. Although SynergyMRE can be sold separately, Kessler\u2019s often place them in crated varietal packs, along with many of its other MRE meals solutions for the rationing space pilot.\n\nDuring the re-branding to SynergyMRE, the company focused on products that would keep those of an active nature awake (Party Goers, Students, \u201cSpace Truckers\u201d). Synergy+ comes in a slim can, and is reminiscent of the Taurine drinks similar to Redbull, Monster, Rockstar. It is thought that Synergy+ is responsible for several deaths of students drinking 5-8 cans in a single night, trying to get their reports done on time.\n\nSynergySport is ideal for those who have an active role in high intensity workouts. It is served in a squeezy bottle.\n\nSynergy is labelled a soft drink and is focused on minors and young adults, it is a sugary drink served in different sized screw top bottle. It has three flavors and a lite version that uses natural flavorings instead of sugar to mimic the original flavor.\n\n#4\nFrom: Perry the Cynic\nCorporate Owner: Liberty Lake Brewers, a division of Terra Total Breweries\nBrand Name: Liberty Lake\nType of Beverage: Beer\nVarieties: Terra Liberty, Pike Liberty, Gen Liberty; occasional special labels\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Middle class, common on Terra; somewhat upscale elsewhere; banned on Earth.\n\nLiberty beer was created by Liberty Lake Brewers, a family cooperative on Terra. The owners played up their support for Terran independence, which got them a faithful following of local drinkers. Liberty beer is big business now, but you couldn\u2019t tell from its labels or advertising, where plucky Terran explorers perpetually step onto unknown planets to plant their flags and beer kegs, usually just ahead of some hapless Earth exploration conglomerate flunky. Terra Liberty is a decent Hefeweizen; Pike Liberty is a brown ale; and Gen Liberty is Porter-style. On big holidays, we sometimes get a batch of Aero Liberty, which is Pike laced with a local tequila.\n\nA while ago, Liberty beer was banned from Earth due to a health scare. The manufacturer refused to contest the ruling and instead its bottles proclaim proudly, to this day, \u201cBanned from Earth!\u201d\n\n#5\nFrom: Madran\nCorporate Owner: A dominant Spider faction (or even simply the bar owners)\nBrand name: (Spider) Bite.\nType of beverage: extremely Strong synthesized Alcohol. (like moonshine)\nVarieties: Ostensibly it is all the same, but due to the unreliable machines used in its manufacture (they would be centuries old) rumors about poisonous, or even hallucinogenic batches abound.\nEconomic\/Demographic circles: Definitely not a sophisticated beverage, but I could see it making its way around the \u2018verse, especially to less reputable establishments.\n\n#6\nFrom: Grand Bagelmeister\nSummary: Frontier world beer\nCorporate Owner: Magnate Co (Magnus system)\nBrand Name: Iron Adze\nType of Beverage: Beer\nVarieties: Original (simple, not highly corporatized)\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Frontier world bars, especially those frequented by heavy laborers.\nDescription: Like other Magnate products, it targets those who feel detached from and ignored by the UEE, emphasizing hardworking values. It\u2019s cheap enough for a frontier miner, but prides itself for its taste, with a competitive price point and flavor. The beer has a signature, faint purple glow to it caused by luminescent dyes produced in the fermentation process by bacteria native to Magnus II.\n\n#7\nFrom: Dutch\nCorporate Owner: Nu-trite \u2013 A subsidiary of Amalgus Biotech\nBrand Name: Cruz (pronounced \u2018cruise\u2019)\nType of Beverage: All-in-one nutrition\/meal-replacement drink.\nVarieties:\nFlow \u2013 The original, high-nutrition variety designed for sustaining pilots who don\u2019t have the time, space or inclination to eat a traditional meal. Each can contains a tiny grav-generator that separates the two flavors by fluid density, giving the drinker a savory first half followed by a sweeter \u2018dessert\u2019 flavor. Nutritional value of each flavor segment is identical.\nDark \u2013 Marketed at men. Flavor is malty with a sweet, molasses-like edge. Higher calorie count.\nLux \u2013 Marketed at women. Nutrition balanced for female physiology with fewer calories. Sweet with a slightly spicy taste.\nPulse \u2013 Marketed at younger drinkers. Nutritional value is reduced to encourage repeat consumption and contains controversial energy boosting adrenaline-like synthetic compounds. Mixed fruit flavor.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Drunk by spacers, students and the military. A favorite of freighter captains due to corporate deals that make it a cheaper alternative to feeding their crew solid foods.\n\n#8\nFrom: Jaeton\nCorporate Owner: Fujin Brewing Company\nBrand Name: K\u014den Shochu, K\u014den Sake\nType of Beverage: Shochu and Sake\nVarieties: Sake, Shochu and Shochu-Highballs (shortened to Chu-High), a canned mixed drink using Shochu as a base and mixed with fruit juices or soda.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Enjoyed by all classes that have a traditional Earthen Japanese Expatriate culture especially popular on Saisei and around the Centauri system. In recent years is becoming trendy among the UEE citizens who are up and coming. The luxury exports from Saisei began to spread into the homes of the new wealthy as Citizens longed to differentiate themselves from an Earth that they find repressive and old-fashioned.\n\nThe K\u014den brand is named after the famous Nessa Park located in the heart of Fujin City. K\u014den means \u201cpark\u201d in ancient Earth Japanese. The brand began to be brewed in a simple and traditional manner from the special rices that have developed in the carefully nurtured environments to be found on Saisei. The sake and shochu are considered to be some of the best in the UEE. While consistently of high quality, they are not priced out of the reach of the middle class.\n\nThe recent craze for the shochu-highball started at the famous Nessa Park Bistro. They made the cocktail by serving K\u014den shochu mixed with a variety of local juices and served over ice, a flavorful light cocktail that became synonymous with the park. Recently the Fujin brewing company began selling pre-mixed canned versions of the shochu-highball affectionately known as \u201cChu-Highs\u201d.\n\n#9\nFrom: Kodo\nCorporate Owner: Torreele Foodstuffs\nBrand Name: Black Mountain\nType of Beverage: Stimulant\nVarieties: Various strengths: Rich, medium blend, mild.\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Widely popular among Humans and Tevarin.\nSujin root tea, native to Elysium IV, is a traditional Tevarin beverage and has been produced for thousands of years. The root is white and looks quite similar to ginger in terms of size and shape. It\u2019s most often found at relatively high elevations. Ground into flakes and steeped in boiling water, Sujin root tea is milky white in appearance and has a stimulant effect on both Tevarin and Humans. The effect on Tevarin is quite mild, while on Humans it\u2019s quite strong, much more so than coffee. It\u2019s popular among spacers for its long-lasting stimulant effect, is very mildly addictive and has no side effects if consumed in moderation. Drinking too much can cause quite severe headaches. Sujin is slightly bitter and has an earthy aftertaste. It smells quite strong. Inhaling Sujin vapor is a good way to open up stuffed sinuses.\n\nSujin roots are grown on several planets, and most Sujin-lovers prefer to grind the fresh roots for themselves, however there are many brand-name suppliers of prepared roots. Torreele sells high-grade vacuum-packed Sujin powder under the Black Mountain brand.\n\n#10\nFrom: Iva\nCorporate Owner: Bilva Brandy Brewers\nBrand Name: B3\nType of Beverage: Brandy\nVarieties: B3 Uncut 160 proof, B3 Original 100 proof, B3 Smooth (50 proof).\nEconomic\/Demographic Circles: Students on Rhetor IV (Mentor) quickly discovered that local plum-like fruit \u2014 \u201cbilva\u201d \u2014 can be used as a base for strong spirit brandy. First it was an amateur \u201chomemade\u201d product known only on Mentor, but it got huge popularity when group of students started smuggling it to Rhetor III (Reisse) campus in 2872. The same three students two years later start Bilva Brandy Brewers company (Mentor based) and brandy \u2013 B3 become huge success system wide.\n\n\u201cHardcore\u201d and expensive version is 160 proof uncut straight brandy (limited edition) served always neat, sold in handcrafted colorful bottles (color palette changes every year). It\u2019s especially popular within the Elite Naval Guard garrison on Rhetor II (Persei). Less extreme consumers prefer Original 100 proof version sold in half liter \u201cunbreakable bottles\u201d; it mixes very well in cocktails (university professor\u2019s favorite drink). B3 smooth is lower alcohol level \u201cmass market\u201d brandy sold in huge variety \u2013 from small plastic one-sip containers to huge gallon bottles. B3 smooth never got too popular on Mentor (as students there prefer B3 Original) but it is a huge market success on Reisse where it is present at every student party.\n\nThe voting window will go from now until next Wednesday at 11:59pst, so please vote below.
