Sakura Sun. Rover platforms, terraforming solutions, bioengineered livestock? Sakura Sun. High-tech wave cannons, starship powerplants, antimatter ordinance? Sakura Sun! While corporate conglomerates are not uncommon, it\u2019s rare for any company to advertise them all under the same banner. But at Sakura Sun, empire-building is in full effect: you\u2019ll find a little bit of everything branded with a distinctive purple sun-and-cherry-blossom logo, from plastic Hi-Ho Flatcat figurines to top-of-the-line multi-particle\/wave cannons. Stranger still, Sakura Sun has successfully gained a reputation as a company that not only does a little bit of everything, but does it well.\n\nSakura Sun\u2019s excessive branding is only the first step in a carefully cultivated corporate image, ostensibly designed to mimic the Japanese megacorporations of bygone centuries. The outrageously colorful logo artwork, the unified outward product design and the public talk about a corporate culture of hard work and executive respect is always present at Sakura Sun\u2019s corporate headquarters in Tokyo, Earth, Sol.\n\nA modest seventy-story skyscraper, each floor houses a distinct product group that functions independently from those above and below it. The modular design allows product groups to be transformed or eliminated quickly. However, when the building was first set up, the company spared no expense in having top artists paint murals reflecting each current product line \u2026 leading to no small number of confused visitors who find themselves looking down the gun barrels of the Hornet equipped with a Sakura Sun-designed turret painted at the entrance to what is now the candied fruits distribution office.\n\nWhile the history behind Sakura Sun\u2019s distinctive frozen dinners or their beloved line of children\u2019s characters would fill a book, the specific portions of their extensive lineup that most appeal to spacecraft owners are the two dedicated to private starcraft modules.\n\nEnergy Weapons\nThe crowning glory of Sakura Sun\u2019s spacecraft weapons division is the proprietary multi-particle\/wave cannon. Ostensibly the brainchild of Sakura Sun Space Sciences Division (affectionately \u201cS4D\u201d), the MP\/WC is an example of carefully researched xenotech. In 2922, following the lead of MISC\u2019s ground-breaking interspecies trade deal, Sakura Sun made a billion-credit buyout of a burgeoning Xi\u2019An research lab that granted them technology trading rights.\n\nFor a decade and a half, company scientists painstakingly worked alongside Xi\u2019An researchers to develop alien tech compatible with Human systems. The research effort took a team of thousands and the overall cost approached a trillion credits \u2026 but at the end of the process, Sakura Sun had developed an incredibly effective weapon type that could not be reproduced (legally or technically) by other Human companies: the multi-particle\/wave cannon.\n\nThe MP\/WC is a fascinating piece of technology. In effect, the gun is a series of multiple miniaturized particle accelerators that fire sequentially. This results in a stream of bosons projected towards a target. The bosons occupy the same quantum state as a wave while in flight and then collapse into discrete particles with unique states upon impact. The result is massive damage to both shields and standard armor types. What\u2019s more, the weapon is fast: the multi-particle\/wave cannon is the only energy gun capable of attaining the retire rate of a Gatling gun.\n\nSakura Sun was quick to bring the results of their research to market. Opting to pursue the civilian populace instead of licensing the technology to the military, an extensive lineup of twenty-five guns was put into production. The MP\/WC line has five distinct types, which define overall size. In order, they are the Breezefire (Size 1), Windfire (Size 2), Stormfire (Size 3), Galefire (Size 4) and the enormous Torrentfire (Size 5.) Each MP\/WC size has five production models, that range in quality and price from basic to extreme luxury class. EX, DX, X and XT are the standard range, plus a fifth model that is produced in extremely limited numbers and given a \u201c2\u00d701\u201d numerical designation (Breezefire 2101, Windfire 2201 and the like). These are extremely prized, and even older models sell for a significant amount on the secondary market.\n\nIf there were one downside to the MP\/WC technology, it\u2019s that it is so advanced. Even though Sakura Sun produces a sturdy product, if it were to malfunction, self-repair is impossible in many cases. Some have speculated that this is why the weapon was not offered to the military, which typically needs a durable and easily field-repaired gun.\n\nPower Plants\nIn addition to their headline-grabbing (and profit-securing) gun lineup, Sakura Sun has recently added a new line of extremely respected power plants, with the initial Light Blossom systems being offered for the 2943 financial year. It seems that by focusing on more than just offensive devices, Sakura Sun hoped that their sales could flourish in or out of conflict.\n\nThe Light Blossom is a Helium-6 sonoluminescent bubble power plant optimized for civilian use with an emphasis on low emission stealth roles. Designed to compete with Lightning Power\u2019s Powerbolt, the press release for the first units described the reactor as a \u201cshadow in space.\u201d It goes on to say that the design intent was to create a high output generator that would still work to limit your energy signature.\n\nNine Light Blossom models are currently in production in three sizes. The range runs from the low-cost size 3 Light Blossom 6HE7A to the top-of-the-line 6HE9X. It is known that Sakura Sun\u2019s engineers are focusing on an even more efficient Helium-7 system and that they are likely to reveal this technology in the near future. Helium-7 would theoretically allow an even greater output-to-signature-block ratio.","de_DE":"Softdrinks, hochwertige K\u00fcchenausstattung, Kinderspielzeug? Sakura Sun. Rover-Plattformen, Terraforming-L\u00f6sungen, biotechnologische Nutztiere? Sakura Sun. High-Tech-Wellenkanonen, Raumschiff-Triebwerke, Antimaterie-Verordnung? Sakura Sun! W\u00e4hrend Unternehmenskonglomerate keine Seltenheit sind, ist es selten, dass ein Unternehmen sie alle unter dem gleichen Banner bewirbt. Aber bei Sakura Sun ist das Empire-Building in vollem Umfang wirksam: Sie werden ein wenig von allem finden, was mit einem unverwechselbaren lilafarbenen Sonnen- und Kirschbl\u00fcten-Logo gebrandet ist, von Plastikfiguren Hi-Ho Flatcat bis hin zu erstklassigen Multi-Partikel-\/Wellenkanonen. Noch seltsamer ist, dass Sakura Sun sich erfolgreich einen Ruf als ein Unternehmen erworben hat, das nicht nur ein wenig von allem macht, sondern es auch gut macht.\n\nDas exzessive Branding von Sakura Sun ist nur der erste Schritt in einem sorgf\u00e4ltig gepflegten Unternehmensimage, das angeblich die japanischen Megakonzerne vergangener Jahrhunderte nachahmen soll. Das unversch\u00e4mt farbenfrohe Logo-Artwork, das einheitliche \u00e4u\u00dfere Produktdesign und die \u00f6ffentliche Diskussion \u00fcber eine Unternehmenskultur der harten Arbeit und des Respektes der F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4fte sind immer in der Konzernzentrale von Sakura Sun in Tokio, Erde, Sol.\n\nAls bescheidener siebzigst\u00f6ckiger Wolkenkratzer beherbergt jedes Stockwerk eine eigene Produktgruppe, die unabh\u00e4ngig von denen \u00fcber und unter ihm funktioniert. Der modulare Aufbau erm\u00f6glicht es, Produktgruppen schnell zu transformieren oder zu eliminieren. Als das Geb\u00e4ude jedoch zum ersten Mal gebaut wurde, scheute das Unternehmen keine Kosten, indem es Wandmalereien von Spitzenk\u00fcnstlern anfertigte, die jede aktuelle Produktlinie widerspiegeln.... was zu nicht wenigen verwirrten Besuchern f\u00fchrte, die sich auf die Kanonenrohre der Hornet st\u00fcrzen, die mit einem von Sakura Sun entworfenen Turm ausgestattet sind, der am Eingang des heutigen Vertriebsb\u00fcros f\u00fcr kandierte Fr\u00fcchte bemalt wurde.\n\nW\u00e4hrend die Geschichte hinter den unverwechselbaren gefrorenen Abendessen von Sakura Sun oder ihrer geliebten Linie von Kindercharakteren ein Buch f\u00fcllen w\u00fcrde, sind die spezifischen Teile ihrer umfangreichen Produktpalette, die die Besitzer von Raumfahrzeugen am meisten ansprechen, die beiden, die privaten Starcraft-Modulen gewidmet sind.\n\nEnergiewaffen\nDie Kr\u00f6nung der Waffenabteilung von Sakura Sun ist die propriet\u00e4re Multipartikel-\/Wellenkanone. Angeblich von der Sakura Sun Space Sciences Division (liebevoll \"S4D\") entwickelt, ist das MP\/WC ein Beispiel f\u00fcr sorgf\u00e4ltig recherchierte Xenotech. Im Jahr 2922, nach dem Vorbild des bahnbrechenden Inter Species Trade Deals von MISC, t\u00e4tigte Sakura Sun einen Milliarden-Kredit-Buyout eines aufstrebenden Xi'An-Forschungslabors, das ihnen Technologie-Handelsrechte gew\u00e4hrte.\n\nEineinhalb Jahrzehnte lang arbeiteten die Wissenschaftler des Unternehmens akribisch mit den Forschern von Xi'An zusammen, um au\u00dferirdische Technologien zu entwickeln, die mit menschlichen Systemen kompatibel sind. Die Forschungsanstrengungen dauerten ein Team von Tausenden und die Gesamtkosten n\u00e4herten sich einer Billionen Credits.... aber am Ende des Prozesses hatte Sakura Sun einen unglaublich effektiven Waffentyp entwickelt, der von anderen menschlichen Unternehmen (rechtlich oder technisch) nicht reproduziert werden konnte: die Multipartikel\/Wellenkanone.\n\nDer MP\/WC ist ein faszinierendes St\u00fcck Technik. In der Tat ist die Pistole eine Reihe von mehreren miniaturisierten Teilchenbeschleunigern, die nacheinander feuern. Dies f\u00fchrt zu einem Strom von Bosonen, die auf ein Ziel projiziert werden. Die Bosonen besetzen w\u00e4hrend des Fluges den gleichen Quantenzustand wie eine Welle und fallen dann beim Aufprall zu diskreten Teilchen mit einzigartigen Zust\u00e4nden zusammen. Das Ergebnis ist ein massiver Schaden sowohl an Schilden als auch an Standard-R\u00fcstungstypen. Au\u00dferdem ist die Waffe schnell: Die Multi-Partikel-Wellenkanone ist die einzige Energiekanone, die in der Lage ist, die R\u00fcckzugsrate einer Gatling-Kanone zu erreichen.\n\nSakura Sun hat die Ergebnisse ihrer Forschung schnell auf den Markt gebracht. Mit der Entscheidung, die Zivilbev\u00f6lkerung zu verfolgen, anstatt die Technologie an das Milit\u00e4r zu lizenzieren, wurde eine umfangreiche Aufstellung von 25 Gesch\u00fctzen in Produktion genommen. Die MP\/WC-Linie hat f\u00fcnf verschiedene Typen, die die Gesamtgr\u00f6\u00dfe definieren. Um dies zu erreichen, sind es die Breezefire (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe 1), Windfire (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe 2), Stormfire (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe 3), Galefire (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe 4) und das riesige Torrentfire (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe 5.) Jede MP\/WC-Gr\u00f6\u00dfe hat f\u00fcnf Produktionsmodelle, die in Qualit\u00e4t und Preis von der einfachen bis zur extremen Luxusklasse reichen. EX, DX, X und XT sind das Standardprogramm, dazu ein f\u00fcnftes Modell, das in extrem begrenzten St\u00fcckzahlen produziert und mit einer \"2\u00d701\" numerischen Bezeichnung versehen wird (Breezefire 2101, Windfire 2201 und dergleichen). Diese sind extrem begehrt, und noch \u00e4ltere Modelle verkaufen sich f\u00fcr einen erheblichen Teil auf dem Sekund\u00e4rmarkt.\n\nWenn es einen Nachteil der MP\/WC-Technologie gibt, dann ist es der, dass sie so fortschrittlich ist. Auch wenn Sakura Sun ein robustes Produkt herstellt, ist eine Selbstreparatur in vielen F\u00e4llen nicht m\u00f6glich. Einige haben spekuliert, dass dies der Grund daf\u00fcr ist, dass die Waffe nicht dem Milit\u00e4r angeboten wurde, das typischerweise eine langlebige und leicht reparierbare Waffe ben\u00f6tigt.\n\nKraftwerke\nZus\u00e4tzlich zu ihrer Schlagzeilen machenden (und gewinnsichernden) Waffenlinie hat Sakura Sun k\u00fcrzlich eine neue Linie von hoch angesehenen Kraftwerken hinzugef\u00fcgt, wobei die ersten Light Blossom-Systeme f\u00fcr das Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2943 angeboten wurden. Es scheint, dass Sakura Sun durch die Konzentration auf mehr als nur offensive Ger\u00e4te hoffte, dass ihre Verk\u00e4ufe in oder aus dem Konflikt gedeihen konnten.\n\nThe Light Blossom ist ein sonolumineszierendes Helium-6 Blasenkraftwerk, das f\u00fcr den zivilen Einsatz optimiert wurde, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf emissionsarmen Tarnfunktionen liegt. In der Pressemitteilung zu den ersten Einheiten, die im Wettbewerb mit dem Powerbolt von Lightning Power steht, wurde der Reaktor als \"Schatten im Raum\" beschrieben. Es f\u00e4hrt fort zu sagen, dass die Designabsicht war, einen Hochleistungsgenerator zu schaffen, der immer noch funktionieren w\u00fcrde, um Ihre Energiesignatur zu begrenzen.\n\nNeun Light Blossom-Modelle sind derzeit in drei Gr\u00f6\u00dfen in Produktion. Das Spektrum reicht von der preiswerten 3er Lichtbl\u00fcte 6HE7A bis zum Topmodell 6HE9X. Es ist bekannt, dass die Ingenieure von Sakura Sun sich auf ein noch effizienteres Helium-7-System konzentrieren und dass sie diese Technologie in naher Zukunft wahrscheinlich aufdecken werden. Helium-7 w\u00fcrde theoretisch ein noch gr\u00f6\u00dferes Verh\u00e4ltnis von Output zu Signaturblock erm\u00f6glichen.","zh_CN":"Soft drinks, high end kitchen equipment, children\u2019s toys?
