Nul is the place! One of the earliest systems charted by Humans, Nul was discovered in 2290 by NavJumper Antoine Lebec. Folklore claims that the system\u2019s name derives from a misunderstanding. Upon returning from his initial scout of the system, Lebec was asked if he found anything interesting. To which he replied \u201cnul.\u201d\n\nNul is a classical Cepheid star, a yellow supergiant that swells as much as 10% \u2013 15% its standard size at times. While it is an easy system to transit, the nature of the star makes habitation extremely difficult.\n\nIn the centuries since Nul\u2019s discovery, Humans have made three separate pushes to attempt terraforming operations. None have ever exited the study phase as surveyors in each instance reached the same conclusion that despite advances in terraforming technology, the system remained to be untenable for any sort of Human habitation. Most analysts familiar with the system believe that there is no reason to visit its barely inhabited settlements and, given the danger presented by the star itself, no reason to even transit through the system.\n\nThe system has taken on a far more nefarious reputation however. Recent Advocacy warnings over the past few years have indicated that abductions have been on the rise in Nul and suggested the potential existence of a slaver pack. Travelers are advised to consider alternate routes before committing to a path through Nul.\n\nInner Planets: Nul I, Nul II\nThe first two planets of the Nul system are entirely uninhabitable for reasons stemming from the star\u2019s nature. Nul I is an orbiting dwarf planet that is slowly being burnt away during the star\u2019s expansion phases.\n\nNul II is an uninhabited iron planet. While it is unusually large for an inner world, its surface has cracked due to the expansion of the star and the world is now slowly emitting gases chiefly composed of the burnt mantle.\n\nNul III (Cole)\nCole is the third planet in the Nul System, a barely habitable terrestrial world located on the inner edge of the system\u2019s green zone. While geologically similar to Earth, the nature of Nul\u2019s star makes actually attempting life here an unpleasant prospect. An atmosphere composed primarily of ammonia and sulfur, coupled with the fact that liquids can only exist deep below the planet\u2019s surface during the \u2018hot season,\u2019 means that environment suits and respirators are necessary at all times here.\n\nThe world boasts a single landing zone, Char, developed from an abandoned environmental research facility. Note that Char is not technically aligned with the UEE, and has no rule of law per se.\n\nNul IV\nThe fourth planet in the Nul System is, at first glance, a typical gas giant, but be warned: the entire planet is locked in a permanent electrical storm capable of readily disabling any ship that approaches. Nul IV\u2019s closer Lagrange points are littered with the hulls of spacecraft foolish enough to approach in spite of the electrical interference, and of course, the hapless salvage crews that decided those wreckages were a prize worth taking.\n\nNul V (Ashana)\nNul\u2019s high point is the fifth planet, Ashana, home to one of the more unique habitats in the universe: a city built out of a wrecked Human battle carrier. In 2571, the UEES Olympus pursued a group of rebels and pirates back to their makeshift base on Ashana. The ship\u2019s commander directed the Olympus to make a run at the base that took it too far into the atmosphere. The drag slowed the Olympus below its sustainable speed at that altitude and it was unable to recover, resulting in its loss with all hands.\n\nThe Olympus crashed to the planet\u2019s surface, where it impacted the desert wasteland. The crash quickly attracted scavengers, who began to pick the ship clean, until they realized that it was a more pleasant environment than the windswept caves they had previously called home. When the Navy did not dispatch another force to eliminate the wreckage, squatters moved in and turned the Olympus into a town of the same name.\n\nThe carrier\u2019s corridors and bays are now home to everything from a Tevarin marketplace to a warren of hotly contested individual homes for those living on the planet. Today, Olympus is a semi-dictatorship, with a Tevarin named Nescus running the entire show. Black market goods are exchanged here, but only in limited quantities: the carrier\u2019s inhabitants know better than to give the UEE an excuse to bomb the wreckage into oblivion.\n\nTravel Warning\nWhile a certain level of criminal activity is expected in all unclaimed systems, Advocacy Crime Stats indicate that Nul is suffering from an increased level of attacks on civilians including abductions and murder.\n\nHeard in the Wind\n\u201cDangerous star, ugly planets, it\u2019s like this whole system was just born hostile.\u201d\n- Excerpt from System Assessment by Malcolm Fitch, Surveyor, 2619\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to have us a little talk about your future. Basically, whether you got one or not.\u201d\n- Opening line that reputed slaver Migo \u201cSkiv\u201d Renks would use on his victims before attack.","de_DE":"M\u00f6chten Sie einem UEE-Kampfschiff so nah wie m\u00f6glich kommen, ohne der Marine beizutreten oder schreckliche Piraterieakte zu begehen? Nul ist der Ort! Nul, eines der fr\u00fchesten Systeme, das von den Menschen kartiert wurde, wurde 2290 von NavJumper Antoine Lebec entdeckt. Die Folklore behauptet, dass der Name des Systems von einem Missverst\u00e4ndnis herr\u00fchrt. Nach der R\u00fcckkehr von seinem ersten Scout des Systems wurde Lebec gefragt, ob er etwas Interessantes fand. Worauf er antwortete: \"nul.\"\n\nNul ist ein klassischer Cepheid-Stern, ein gelber \u00dcberriese, der bis zu 10% - 15% seiner Standardgr\u00f6\u00dfe anschwillt. Obwohl es sich um ein leicht zu durchquerendes System handelt, macht die Natur des Sterns das Wohnen extrem schwierig.\n\nIn den Jahrhunderten seit der Entdeckung von Nul haben die Menschen drei verschiedene Schritte unternommen, um Terraformoperationen zu versuchen. Keiner hat die Studienphase jemals verlassen, da die Gutachter in jedem Fall zu dem gleichen Schluss kamen, dass das System trotz der Fortschritte in der Terraformtechnologie f\u00fcr jede Art von menschlicher Behausung unhaltbar blieb. Die meisten mit dem System vertrauten Analysten glauben, dass es keinen Grund gibt, seine kaum bewohnten Siedlungen zu besuchen und angesichts der Gefahr, die der Stern selbst darstellt, keinen Grund, \u00fcberhaupt durch das System zu gehen.\n\nDas System hat sich jedoch einen weitaus sch\u00e4ndlicheren Ruf erworben. J\u00fcngste Warnungen von Advocacy in den letzten Jahren haben darauf hingewiesen, dass Entf\u00fchrungen in Nul auf dem Vormarsch waren, und auf die m\u00f6gliche Existenz eines Sklavenpakets hingewiesen. Reisenden wird empfohlen, alternative Routen in Betracht zu ziehen, bevor sie sich auf einen Weg durch Nul begeben.\n\nInnere Planeten: Nul I, Nul II.\nDie ersten beiden Planeten des Nul-Systems sind aus Gr\u00fcnden, die auf die Natur des Sterns zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren sind, v\u00f6llig unbewohnbar. Nul I ist ein umlaufender Zwergplanet, der w\u00e4hrend der Expansionsphasen des Sterns langsam verbrannt wird.\n\nNul II ist ein unbewohnter Eisenplanet. W\u00e4hrend sie f\u00fcr eine Innenwelt ungew\u00f6hnlich gro\u00df ist, ist ihre Oberfl\u00e4che durch die Ausdehnung des Sterns gerissen und die Welt gibt nun langsam Gase ab, die haupts\u00e4chlich aus dem verbrannten Mantel bestehen.\n\nNul III (Cole)\nCole ist der dritte Planet im Nul-System, einer kaum bewohnbaren terrestrischen Welt, die sich am inneren Rand der gr\u00fcnen Zone des Systems befindet. Obwohl geologisch der Erde \u00e4hnlich, macht die Natur von Nuls Stern den Versuch, hier Leben zu finden, zu einer unangenehmen Aussicht. Eine Atmosph\u00e4re, die haupts\u00e4chlich aus Ammoniak und Schwefel besteht, gepaart mit der Tatsache, dass Fl\u00fcssigkeiten nur w\u00e4hrend der \"hei\u00dfen Jahreszeit\" tief unter der Erdoberfl\u00e4che vorhanden sein k\u00f6nnen, bedeutet, dass hier jederzeit Umgebungsanz\u00fcge und Atemschutzger\u00e4te erforderlich sind.\n\nDie Welt verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber eine einzige Landezone, Char, die aus einer verlassenen Umweltforschungsanlage entstanden ist. Beachten Sie, dass Char technisch nicht auf die UEE ausgerichtet ist und keine Rechtsstaatlichkeit per se hat.\n\nNul IV\nDer vierte Planet im Nul-System ist auf den ersten Blick ein typischer Gasriese, aber seien Sie gewarnt: Der gesamte Planet ist in einem permanenten Gewitter eingeschlossen, das jedes sich n\u00e4hernde Schiff leicht deaktivieren kann. Die n\u00e4heren Lagrange-Punkte von Nul IV sind mit den R\u00fcmpfen von Raumfahrzeugen \u00fcbers\u00e4t, die t\u00f6richt genug sind, um sich trotz der elektrischen St\u00f6rungen zu n\u00e4hern, und nat\u00fcrlich mit den ungl\u00fccklichen Bergungsmannschaften, die entschieden haben, dass diese Wracks ein Preis waren, der es wert ist, genommen zu werden.\n\nNul V (Ashana)\nDer H\u00f6hepunkt von Nul ist der f\u00fcnfte Planet Ashana, der einen der einzigartigsten Lebensr\u00e4ume des Universums beherbergt: eine Stadt, die aus einem zerst\u00f6rten menschlichen Kampftr\u00e4ger gebaut wurde. Im Jahr 2571 verfolgten die UEES Olympus eine Gruppe von Rebellen und Piraten zur\u00fcck zu ihrer provisorischen Basis auf Ashana. Der Kommandant des Schiffes wies den Olymp an, einen Lauf zur Basis zu machen, die ihn zu weit in die Atmosph\u00e4re brachte. Der Widerstand verlangsamte den Olympus unter seine nachhaltige Geschwindigkeit in dieser H\u00f6he und er konnte sich nicht erholen, was zu seinem Verlust mit allen H\u00e4nden f\u00fchrte.\n\nDer Olympus st\u00fcrzte an die Oberfl\u00e4che des Planeten, wo er die W\u00fcstenw\u00fcste traf. Der Absturz zog schnell Aasfresser an, die anfingen, das Schiff sauber zu nehmen, bis sie feststellten, dass es eine angenehmere Umgebung war als die windgesch\u00fcttelten H\u00f6hlen, die sie zuvor als Zuhause bezeichnet hatten. Als die Marine keine weitere Truppe entsandte, um das Wrack zu beseitigen, zogen Besetzer ein und verwandelten den Olymp in eine Stadt gleichen Namens.\n\nDie Korridore und Buchten der Fluggesellschaft sind heute die Heimat f\u00fcr alles, von einem Tevarin-Marktplatz bis hin zu einem Labyrinth von hei\u00df umk\u00e4mpften Einzelh\u00e4usern f\u00fcr die Bewohner des Planeten. Heute ist Olympus eine Halbdiktatur, in der ein Tevarin namens Nescus die gesamte Show leitet. Schwarzmarktprodukte werden hier gehandelt, aber nur in begrenzten Mengen: Die Bewohner des Spediteurs wissen es besser, als der UEE einen Vorwand zu geben, um das Wrack in Vergessenheit zu geraten.\n\nReisewarnung\nW\u00e4hrend in allen nicht beanspruchten Systemen ein gewisses Ma\u00df an krimineller Aktivit\u00e4t erwartet wird, zeigen Advocacy Crime Stats, dass Nul unter einem erh\u00f6hten Ma\u00df an Angriffen auf Zivilisten leidet, einschlie\u00dflich Entf\u00fchrungen und Mord.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Gef\u00e4hrlicher Stern, h\u00e4ssliche Planeten, es ist, als w\u00e4re das ganze System einfach nur feindlich geboren worden.\"\n- Auszug aus der Systembewertung von Malcolm Fitch, Gutachter, 2619\n\n\"Wir werden ein kleines Gespr\u00e4ch \u00fcber deine Zukunft f\u00fchren. Im Grunde genommen, ob du eine hast oder nicht.\"\n- Er\u00f6ffnungslinie, die der angebliche Sklavenh\u00e4ndler Migo \"Skiv\" Renks vor dem Angriff auf seine Opfer benutzen w\u00fcrde.","zh_CN":"Want to get as close as possible to a UEE battle carrier without joining the Navy or committing terrible acts of piracy?
