Als ich auf den Griff zuging, sah ich etwas in der Dunkelheit. Ich konnte nicht sagen, dass es \u00fcberhaupt menschlich war, aber zumindest humanoid. Ich hatte sofort einen Eindruck von einem K\u00f6rper mit freiliegender Muskulatur, bedeckt mit blau gef\u00e4rbten Adern. Es drehte sich um, um mich direkt anzusehen, als mein Schiff pl\u00f6tzlich schaukelte. Es war weg. Es war eine Nanosekunde einer Begegnung, aber ich hatte ein schreckliches Gef\u00fchl der Pr\u00e4senz. Es war, als h\u00e4tte ich etwas gesehen, was mein Verstand nicht verstehen konnte. Das Gef\u00fchl verging nie. Ich verkaufte das Schiff, als ich nach Hause kam; es f\u00fchlte sich nicht mehr wie meines an.\"\n\n- Eli Thorn, Navjumper\n\nTechnisch als von der Sternenkartographie der UEE nicht beansprucht eingestuft, war Hades einst die Heimat einer beeindruckenden Zivilisation, die sich selbst zerst\u00f6rt zu haben scheint. Mit einem F-Typ-Hauptsequenzstern in der Mitte und mehreren \u00fcberlebenden Planeten im Orbit fehlen dem System die notwendigen Bedingungen, um das menschliche Leben zu unterst\u00fctzen.\n\nHades wurde erstmals 2515 von der Merry Crow, einem Trampschiff, identifiziert. Die Entdeckung war nicht offiziell katalogisiert, da das Schiff mehrere hundert Frachteinheiten gestohlener Fusionsantriebe transportierte. Neunzehn Jahre sp\u00e4ter fand sich Jake Tapps, der Navigator der Crow's und einzige \u00fcberlebende Besatzungsmitglied, ohne Geld und Planeten. Er verkaufte die umfangreichen Logb\u00fccher des Schiffes, um eine langj\u00e4hrige SLAM-Gewohnheit zu finanzieren, und das Hades-System wurde offiziell von der Dynamo Corporation registriert.\n\nDas Interesse an dem System stieg in die H\u00f6he, als die Erkundungsschiffe ihre erste Untersuchung durchf\u00fchrten. W\u00e4hrend das System als v\u00f6llig ungeeignet f\u00fcr das Terraforming erachtet wurde, fanden sie bedeutende Beweise daf\u00fcr, dass alle Welten einst die Heimat einer ausgestorbenen Weltraumgesellschaft waren. Jahrzehntelange Forschung war nicht in der Lage, ein vollst\u00e4ndiges Bild einer fortgeschrittenen Gesellschaft zu zeichnen, die sich schlie\u00dflich durch einen internen Konflikt ausl\u00f6schte. Es war dieser grandiose Grad der Zerst\u00f6rung, der dem System seinen Namen gab und die Erschlie\u00dfung der Wahrheit scheinbar unm\u00f6glich machte.\n\nObwohl es im Hades-System keine Einrichtungen zum Betanken oder zur Wartung von Schiffen gibt, ist es immer noch Teil einer aktiven Raumstation. Die meisten Schiffe bleiben jedoch an den Fahrspuren zwischen den Sprungstellen h\u00e4ngen. F\u00fcr die meisten wartet nur die Gefahr auf diejenigen, die sich vom Kurs abbringen.\n\nDie meisten, die bereit sind, auf die Planeten zu reisen, sind Xenoarch\u00e4ologen und Grabr\u00e4uber. Trotz der weit verbreiteten Verw\u00fcstung wurden Tausende von zerst\u00f6rten Strukturen auf den Friedhofswelten des Hades identifiziert, und viele weitere werden unterirdisch geglaubt. Unz\u00e4hlige Artefakte werden jedes Jahr von diesen St\u00e4tten genommen (oder gestohlen), und es wird angenommen, dass es eine Reihe von laufenden Operationen von fragw\u00fcrdigen Unternehmen gibt, die versuchen, einen Teil der Technologie zu finden, mit der sich die Hadesianer selbst zerst\u00f6rt haben.\n\nHades I\nDem ersten Planeten im System fehlt v\u00f6llig die Atmosph\u00e4re. Verstreute unnat\u00fcrliche Krater und Ruinen deuten darauf hin, dass die Hadesianer Hades I in begrenzter Zahl kolonisiert haben m\u00fcssen. Die Wissenschaftler konnten nicht herausfinden, ob es immer so war oder ob die Atmosph\u00e4re ein weiteres Opfer des Krieges war.\n\nHades II\nHades II beh\u00e4lt eine gewisse Atmosph\u00e4re, aber es ist eine gewaltt\u00e4tige. Es m\u00fcssen Schutzanz\u00fcge getragen werden, und aufgrund der Menge an Vulkanasche in den Resten der Atmosph\u00e4re sollte niemand jemals von einer Verschnaufpause weg sein. Spreizende hadesische St\u00e4dte spinnen sich durch die Landschaft, jeder einzelne von ihnen ist tot und verwelkt im unerbittlichen Wind. Die instabile Natur der Ruinen macht diese Oberfl\u00e4che zu einer sehr prek\u00e4ren Oberfl\u00e4che, die es zu erkunden gilt.\n\nInmitten der Tr\u00fcmmer auf dem Hades II. wurden Ablagerungen von ungew\u00f6hnlichen Mineralien, darunter auch Corium, entdeckt. Aufgrund des arch\u00e4ologischen Wertes des Systems sind jedoch noch nie gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bergbauarbeiten durchgef\u00fchrt worden. Ein gro\u00dfer Teil davon ist einer gewissenhaften Gruppe von aktiven Arch\u00e4ologen und Denkmalsch\u00fctzern zu verdanken, die die Topographie des Planeten im Auge behalten und drohen, jeden Minenbetrieb, der ihn st\u00f6rt, \u00f6ffentlich zu besch\u00e4men.\n\nHades III\nAuf der Oberfl\u00e4che entspricht Hades III I und II: Es ist eine grausame Landschaft aus Einschlagkratern und zerst\u00f6rten St\u00e4dten. Die Atmosph\u00e4re ist giftig, und nur die am besten ausgestatteten Teams sollten versuchen, an Land zu gehen. Dennoch wurden im Laufe der Jahre unz\u00e4hlige Ruinen dokumentiert, die den Glauben an bestimmte Kreise, die es im Hades noch viel zu entdecken gibt, aufrechterhalten.\n\nHades IV\nHades IV wird gemeinhin als \"halber Planet\" betrachtet, was zu der etwas verwirrenden Auflistung der 3.5 Welten in der formalen UEE-Liste f\u00fchrt. W\u00e4hrend der gesamte Planet noch existiert (und nicht zu einem vollst\u00e4ndigen Asteroidenfeld verkommen ist), geschieht dies in zwei verschiedenen H\u00e4lften. Es ist unm\u00f6glich, den absoluten Schrecken einer Waffe, die in der Lage ist, einen ganzen Planeten zu zerst\u00f6ren, vollst\u00e4ndig zu verstehen, aber es ist schwierig, das Schauspiel dieser Trostlosigkeit nicht zu bewundern.\n\nDie Hadesier\nEs gibt so viele Theorien \u00fcber die Natur der Hadesier wie Sterne am Himmel. Jedes Jahr steigt eine neue Gruppe von Universit\u00e4tsabsolventen in das System ein, in der Hoffnung, dass sie diejenigen sein werden, die das Geheimnis dieser Zivilisation endlich knacken, und jedes Jahr gehen sie frustriert weg. Wissenschaftler haben es geschafft, ihre physischen Dimensionen grob zu bestimmen und dass ihr B\u00fcrgerkrieg vor etwa 300.000 Jahren gef\u00fchrt wurde. Basierend auf sp\u00e4rlichen Skelett- und Architekturnachweisen vervollst\u00e4ndigt eine neuere Theorie, dass die Hadesier rundliche Kreaturen mit einem sperrigen Zentralk\u00f6rper mit mehreren d\u00fcnnen Forts\u00e4tzen (eine Zahl, die scheinbar von Hadesisch bis Hadesisch variiert) und einem Paar langer Arme waren, die Figur. Ein scharfer Kontrast zu dem, was noch vor wenigen Jahren als die genaueste Wiedergabe von Hadesianern von Forschern galt.\n\nReisewarnung\nObwohl nicht offiziell Teil der UEE, patrouillieren Bewahrungsgruppen immer noch das System, um die Pl\u00fcnderung zu stoppen. Diese Piloten sind gut gemeint, aber nat\u00fcrlich misstrauisch gegen\u00fcber jedem Schiff, das sie sehen. Es ist am besten, ihren Anfragen nachzukommen, andernfalls sind sie geneigt, das Schlimmste \u00fcber Ihre Anwesenheit im System anzunehmen.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Man denke nur an die ganze Energie, die n\u00f6tig ist, um einen Planeten in zwei H\u00e4lften zu zerlegen. Es ist absolut atemberaubend. Ich kann nur hoffen, dass wir nie, nie herausfinden, was es war.\" - UEE Navy Vizeadmiral Ruth Basinski, Terra Gazette Interview, 2816","zh_CN":"\u201cI had put my ship on automatic, bearing for Hades III, and then climbed down to the middeck.
