Astronomically, the most distinct aspect of Nyx is that it is located directly on the border of a dark nebula, which gave the system its name.\n\nNyx was first charted through a jump point in the Bremen System by solo navjumper Carla Larry, who described what she found in her official claim as \u201cLacking logical reason to apply the expense of terraformation.\u201d Despite her less than encouraging initial assessment, Larry did make an attempt to formally name the star\u2019s three worlds Lou, Morgan and Ashley, apparently after three separate romantic conquests she was pursuing. While the UEE government has never recognized these names, and they have never been widely used, Larry did say before her death that all three of the namesakes were touched by the gesture.\n\nRecently, Nyx has gained some additional utility as a transit system for supplies headed for the Synthworld project, which means there can be a significant credit value of cargo moving through the system at any one time. Small scale piracy is not uncommon, and travelers are advised to tread carefully when traveling through the system. Of more concern is the increasing number of Vanduul ships that have been spotted near the Virgil-Nyx jump point. Residents worry that this may be the prelude to a large-scale raid, and some have begun stocking up on weapons in response. The UEE has issued a warning that all pilots should steer clear of this part of the Nyx system unless it is absolutely necessary.\n\nNyx I\nWhen it was first discovered, Nyx I was a coreless, heat-swept world that was a poor colonization candidate. While Nyx I was not technically a smog planet, it had an atmosphere laced with the very same gasses that had continually blocked corporations from successfully terraforming such worlds. However, when a routine survey revealed the presence of high-grade metals beneath the planet\u2019s surface, multiple companies threw caution to the wind and tried their hands at transforming Nyx I into a friendlier place. But no matter what anyone tried, the technology at the time failed, and the atmosphere remained stubbornly poisonous.\n\nIn spite of the dangerous conditions, numerous mining operations set up shop on Nyx I when they got word of what had been found there, and within 50 years, much of the planet\u2019s material wealth had been shipped off to Kilian to help supply the Empire\u2019s ongoing war efforts. Profits eventually slowed thanks to constant wear and tear on the mining equipment from the searing heat, and one by one, the mining companies left for greener pastures. By 2630, Nyx I had been mostly abandoned.\n\nCenturies later, there may now be new hope for Nyx I. In 2954, Genesis Terraforming began using their newly-developed suite of terraformation platforms to scrub the previously irremovable toxins from the planet\u2019s atmosphere and replace them with the right balance of oxygen and nitrogen. This groundbreaking technology is the first of its kind and has the potential to solve the mystery that has been plaguing science since the advent of planetary colonization: how to terraform smog planets. If successful, worlds long-thought uninhabitable such as Baker II, Cano III, or even Sol II could be placed on the path to habitability.\n\nNyx II\nCloaked in thick clouds of acid, Nyx II was once considered for terraforming due to its position within the system\u2019s green band. MIST conducted a serious study in 2585 to determine whether it could be made habitable. The end result was that it was next to impossible, and, if attempted, would take considerable effort and expense. Traveling to the surface of the planet remains dangerous; even if explorers are protected from the deadly atmosphere, the stifling temperatures, the twisted terrain, and the air pressure present risks of their own.\n\nGlaciem Ring Asteroid Belt & Delamar\nA dense asteroid belt circles Nyx\u2019s star between Nyx II and Nyx III. While the asteroid field is home to numerous mining outposts, it is mostly known as a very good place to avoid unwanted attention. An unknown number of small settlements have been established on asteroids in the area and are home to a variety of fringe colonists seeking anything from life outside the UEE to a platform from which to operate outside the law.\n\nThe highlight of these settlements is Delamar, the largest of the asteroids. Hidden deep in the Glaciem Ring, it is the home of the People\u2019s Alliance, who transformed an old, abandoned mining facility into a colony and dubbed it Levski after an old Earth revolutionary. Dissenters of the UEE\u2019s Messer Era, the People\u2019s Alliance made Delamar a haven for political radicals and anti-UEE sentiment in their pursuit of creating a fair government. While the People\u2019s Alliance has taken on a more passive role in recent history, Levski still attracts politically-minded groups that are similar enough to live together, but different enough in their goals so they seldom get anything accomplished.\n\nOver the years, a criminal element has exploited the welcoming nature of the People\u2019s Alliance and taken up residence in Levski. The People\u2019s Alliance has tried to suppress it, since it makes their community a target for government raids and undermines their message about taking a stand against the corruption and criminality in the UEE, but it continues to linger.\n\nNyx III\nThe final planet in the Nyx System, located far from the sun\u2019s light, is an ice giant. A massive ball of frozen water and ammonia vapor, Nyx III has only seen minimal resource extraction owing to the hazardous work conditions in the planet\u2019s dangerous atmosphere.\n\nKeeger Belt\nThis outermost asteroid belt has long been a favorite hiding place for those who would prefer to do their business in the shadows.

Das System besteht aus drei Planeten, die einen Stern der Hauptreihenfolge vom Typ F umkreisen. Astronomisch gesehen ist der ausgepr\u00e4gteste Aspekt von Nyx, dass es sich direkt an der Grenze eines dunklen Nebels befindet, der die Umlaufbahnen aller drei Welten umgibt und die Reise behindert.\n\nDas System wurde zun\u00e4chst von der Solo-Navjumperin Carla Larry durch einen Sprungbrett im Bremer System kartographiert, die das, was sie in ihrem offiziellen Anspruch fand, als \"ohne signifikante Mineralvorkommen oder logischen Grund, die Kosten der Terraformation zu \u00fcbernehmen\" bezeichnete. Trotz ihrer weniger als ermutigenden ersten Bewertung unternahm Larry den Versuch, die drei Welten Lou, Morgan und Ashley des Stars offiziell zu benennen, anscheinend nach drei verschiedenen romantischen Eroberungen, die sie verfolgte. W\u00e4hrend die UEE-Regierung diese Namen nie anerkannt hat und sie nie weit verbreitet waren, sagte Larry vor ihrem Tod, dass alle drei Namensgeber von der Geste ber\u00fchrt wurden.\n\nVor kurzem hat Nyx einen zus\u00e4tzlichen Nutzen als Transitsystem f\u00fcr Lieferungen gewonnen, die f\u00fcr das Synthworld-Projekt bestimmt sind, was bedeutet, dass es jederzeit einen signifikanten Gutschriftwert f\u00fcr die Ladung geben kann, die durch das System bewegt wird. Kleine Piraterie ist keine Seltenheit, getragen vom Nebel des Systems, und Reisende werden gewarnt, w\u00e4hrend der Durchfahrt des Systems nicht von den \u00fcblichen Spacelanes abzuweichen.\n\nNyx I\nDer erste Planet im Nyx-System ist eine kernlose, hitzegef\u00fcllte Welt, die vor langer Zeit von wertvollen Mineralien befreit wurde. Bald nach der Entdeckung des Systems ergab eine Routineuntersuchung das Vorhandensein von hochwertigen Metallen unter der Oberfl\u00e4che des Planeten. Nachdem die Nachricht bekannt wurde, wurde der Planet kurzzeitig in den Mittelpunkt zahlreicher Bergbauaktivit\u00e4ten ger\u00fcckt, und innerhalb von f\u00fcnfzig Jahren wurde der Planet fast vollst\u00e4ndig seiner Ressourcen beraubt, sein materieller Reichtum wurde nach Kilian verschifft, um die wachsenden Kriegsanstrengungen des Imperiums zu unterst\u00fctzen. Um 2630 war Nyx I. gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils verlassen und es blieben nur wenige Hinweise auf eine menschliche Behausung \u00fcbrig.\n\nNyx II\nNyx II, eine smogige, trostlose Welt, galt einst als Randfall f\u00fcr das Terraforming. Dicke Wolken aus S\u00e4ure und Kohlendioxid umgeben die Welt, und der Planet taumelt technisch gesehen am inneren Rand des gr\u00fcnen Bandes des Systems. Dennoch wurde eine ernsthafte Studie durchgef\u00fchrt, ob sie bewohnbar gemacht werden kann oder nicht. Das Endergebnis war, dass es m\u00f6glich war, aber es w\u00fcrde erhebliche Anstrengungen erfordern und wenig f\u00fcr die Rendite bringen. EVA auf dem Planeten selbst ist t\u00f6dlich; selbst wenn die Forscher vor den korrosiven Elementen gesch\u00fctzt sind, k\u00f6nnen sie in der Hochdruckatmosph\u00e4re nicht funktionieren.\n\nGlaciem Ring Asteroideng\u00fcrtel & Delamar\nEin dichter Asteroideng\u00fcrtel umkreist Nyx' Stern bei etwa 12 AE. W\u00e4hrend das Asteroidenfeld einige Minen gesehen hat, ist es vor allem als ein sehr guter Ort bekannt, um unerw\u00fcnschte Aufmerksamkeit zu vermeiden. Eine unbekannte Anzahl von kleinen Siedlungen wurden auf Asteroiden in der Gegend errichtet und sind die Heimat einer Vielzahl von Randkolonisten, die alles vom Leben au\u00dferhalb der UEE bis zu einer Plattform suchen, von der aus sie au\u00dferhalb des Gesetzes operieren k\u00f6nnen. Es wird angenommen, dass illegale \u00dcberf\u00e4lle im System, die typischerweise gegen die Trans-Synth-World-Schifffahrtsrouten durchgef\u00fchrt werden, von gr\u00f6\u00dferen Basen im Feld aus durchgef\u00fchrt werden.\n\nDer H\u00f6hepunkt dieser Siedlungen ist Delamar, der gr\u00f6\u00dfte der Asteroiden. Die Gr\u00f6\u00dfe eines kleinen Planetoiden, Delamar, ist tief im Glaciem Ring versteckt. Die People's Alliance beherbergt eine alte Bergbauanlage, die von den urspr\u00fcnglichen Prospektoren verlassen wurde, als sie keinen Gewinn erzielen konnten, und zog ein und nannte sie Levski nach einem Revolution\u00e4r der alten Erde. Die People's Alliance, die von der Messer-\u00c4ra der UEE abweichen, verwandelte Delamar in eine Brutst\u00e4tte f\u00fcr politische Radikale und Anti-UEE-Stimmungen. W\u00e4hrend die People Alliance in der j\u00fcngeren Geschichte eine passivere Rolle \u00fcbernommen hat, zieht Levski immer noch eine Reihe von politisch denkenden Gruppen an, die \u00e4hnlich genug sind, um zusammenzuleben, aber sich in ihren Zielen unterscheiden, so dass sie nie etwas erreichen.\n\nIm Laufe der Jahre hat sich hier auch ein kriminelles Element angesiedelt, obwohl die politischen Aktivisten versucht haben, es zu unterdr\u00fccken, weil sie das Gef\u00fchl hatten, dass Kriminelle ihre Botschaft, gegen die Korruption und Kriminalit\u00e4t in der UEE vorzugehen, untergraben und ihre Gemeinschaft gleichzeitig zum Ziel von Regierungsangriffen machen.\n\nNyx III\nDer letzte Planet im Nyx-System, weit weg vom Sonnenlicht, ist ein Eisriese. Nyx III, ein massiver Ball aus gefrorenem Wasser und Ammoniakdampf, wurde aufgrund der gef\u00e4hrlichen Arbeitsbedingungen in der gef\u00e4hrlichen Atmosph\u00e4re des Planeten nur minimal genutzt.\n\nReisewarnung\nW\u00e4hrend die Luftschleusen von Levski f\u00fcr Besucher ge\u00f6ffnet sind, bitten sie die G\u00e4ste, sich an den Regelkodex und die Moral zu halten, die sie aufgestellt haben oder die Wut der Bewohner riskieren. Wie die Zeichen, die alle begr\u00fc\u00dfen, die auf Delemar landen, sagen: \"Selbst wenn du mit uns nicht einverstanden bist, wirst du unser Recht auf Leben respektieren.\"\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Wir, die Volksallianz von Levski, widmen uns der Schaffung und kontinuierlichen Entwicklung einer wahrhaft egalit\u00e4ren Gemeinschaft, in der sich alle Empfindungen sicher und frei f\u00fchlen k\u00f6nnen, Ideen auszudr\u00fccken und sich gegenseitig beim gemeinsamen Ziel der erleuchteten Selbstversorgung zu unterst\u00fctzen.\"\n- Volksallianz, Absichtserkl\u00e4rung, 2655\n\n\"Um Levski vollst\u00e4ndig zu verstehen, m\u00fcssen Sie die handgeschnitzte Statue von ANTHONY TANAKA besuchen, dem Jungen, dessen Tod zu einem Sammelruf f\u00fcr die Anti-Messer-Bewegung wurde. W\u00e4hrend es andere Skulpturen von Tanaka in der UEE gibt, ist keine so sch\u00f6n dunkel und trotzig.\"\n- Beobachter Dunkel, 2945.09.16","zh_CN":"Nyx was discovered in SEY 2582 during the height of the newly-formed United Empire of Earth\u2019s territorial expansion.
