Als sie in den sp\u00e4ten 2700er Jahren entdeckt wurden, dauerte ein wahrer \u00dcberblick \u00fcber das System viel l\u00e4nger als erwartet, da sich die UEE pl\u00f6tzlich mitten in einer Revolution befand.\n\nW\u00e4hrend die Wissenschaftsteams auf dem Weg zum Osiris-System waren, um ihren detaillierten Scan- und Kartierungsprozess zu starten, liefen die Aufnahmen vom Massaker an Garron II an die Bev\u00f6lkerung durch und l\u00f6sten \u00f6ffentliche Aufschreie und Demonstrationen aus. Das bereits d\u00fcnn besetzte Messer-Regime fand nun heraus, dass jeder Aufstand, den sie zerschlugen, ermutigend war und andere dazu inspirierte, ihren Platz einzunehmen.\n\nAls sich der Staub gelegt hatte und die Regierung endlich wieder dieses System studierte, lieferten die Umfrageergebnisse des inneren Planeten faszinierende Daten. Unter der Wolkenschicht von Osiris war ich eine \u00e4u\u00dferst aktive Biosph\u00e4re, die in der Lage war, das menschliche Leben zu unterst\u00fctzen und eine erstaunliche Artenvielfalt zu bieten, wie sie sonst nirgendwo in der bekannten Galaxie zu finden ist.\n\nNach der Entdeckung h\u00f6herer Primaten\u00e4quivalente durch ein Wissenschaftsteam bei Osiris I (inzwischen bekannt als Etos) wurde das System zum Brennpunkt f\u00fcr eine neue Debatte \u00fcber die Moral der Expansion und zu einer Art Cause C\u00e9l\u00e8bre f\u00fcr Umweltsch\u00fctzer und Expansionisten gleicherma\u00dfen, da das Osiris-System das erste System wurde, das nach dem Fair Chance Act zu einem Entwicklungssystem erkl\u00e4rt wurde. Obwohl der Gedanke, bewohnte Welten f\u00fcr die menschliche Besiedlung zu terrassieren, von den Bef\u00fcrwortern des Fair Chance Act als unmoralisch angesehen wird, argumentieren Kritiker weiterhin, dass wir versuchen sollten, das Leben der Arten zu bereichern, die wir entdecken, anstatt unt\u00e4tig zuzusehen, wie sie m\u00f6glicherweise aus der Ferne leiden.\n\nOsiris I (Etos)\nBitten Sie den Durchschnittsb\u00fcrger, die sagenumwobene Biosph\u00e4re von Osiris I. zu beschreiben, und Sie werden wahrscheinlich Beschreibungen von unm\u00f6glich dichten Regenw\u00e4ldern h\u00f6ren, die von jeder erdenklichen Lebensform wimmeln. Die Realit\u00e4t ist nicht ann\u00e4hernd so nah. Etos liegt auf der extremen Sonnenseite des Gr\u00fcng\u00fcrtels von Osiris, und das Leben dort hat sich ganz anders angepasst als auf der Erde. Das erste, was man verstehen muss, ist, dass das Leben auf Etos nicht in der Natur gedeiht; es gibt keine wimmelnden W\u00e4lder, die nach dem Himmel greifen, oder wilde, ungez\u00e4hmte Polarsteppen. W\u00e4hrend die Atmosph\u00e4re das menschliche Leben unterst\u00fctzen kann, bedeutet die N\u00e4he zum Stern, dass die meiste Evolution unter der Erde stattgefunden hat.\n\nEtos hat ein ausgedehntes, kilometerweites H\u00f6hlensystem, das sich in den Planetenmantel einschleicht. Dort haben sich verschiedene Lebensformen durchgesetzt, von stacheligen Krustentieren bis hin zu verschiedenen Arten, die man am besten als gelartige Bandscheibe oder wie in einem Forscherjournal, einem \"fallenden Pfannkuchen\", beschreiben k\u00f6nnte. Einer der entscheidenden Faktoren f\u00fcr Etos' formalen Schutz ist Phare's Ape, ein vage menschen\u00e4hnlicher Primat, von dem Biologen glauben, dass er das Potenzial hat, h\u00f6heres Denken zu entwickeln. Mit einem, wie man nur sagen kann, nat\u00fcrlichen, traurigen Gesicht und einer scheinbar sanften Natur, wurde PHARE's Affe zum ikonischen Bild der etosianischen Erhaltungsbewegung.\n\nDer Planet wird aus sicherer Entfernung von der Beobachtungsstation Kobold \u00fcberwacht, die mit dem Schutz von Osiris I nach den Richtlinien des Fair Chance Act beauftragt ist. Obwohl es eine Mischung aus Wissenschaftlern und Milit\u00e4rangeh\u00f6rigen beherbergt, sind die ungew\u00f6hnlichsten Bewohner die kleine Sammlung von PHARE-Affen, die an Bord der Station ihr Zuhause finden. Die Kupplung, die aus dem Besitz eines Schmugglers geborgen wurde, galt als zu verletzt, um auf den Planeten unten gebracht zu werden, und wurde auf Kobold wieder gesund gepflegt, wo sie leben und weiter untersucht werden.\n\nOsiris G\u00fcrtel Alpha\nDer Osiris-G\u00fcrtel ist einer der dichtesten, die je entdeckt wurden, mit h\u00e4ufigen Asteroidenkollisionen, die das Durchqueren und den Abbau extrem gef\u00e4hrlich machen. Die Tr\u00fcmmer, die aus dem G\u00fcrtel springen, sind ein st\u00e4ndiges Problem f\u00fcr diejenigen, die Etos studieren, da eine massive Kollision f\u00fcr das Leben dort katastrophal sein k\u00f6nnte. Patrouillen werden h\u00e4ufig geschickt, um Schurken-Asteroiden zu zerst\u00f6ren und abzulenken, bevor sie zum Problem werden.\n\nOsiris II\nDer Gasriese Osiris II. war es, der zun\u00e4chst die Goldsucher an das System heranf\u00fchrte: eine gro\u00dfe jowianische Welt mit nat\u00fcrlich reinem Wasserstoff. Obwohl technisch in einem durch den Fair Chance Act gesch\u00fctzten System, wurde Osiris II unter Lizenz verschiedenen Unternehmen und Raffineriebetreibern zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt, um die Anfangskosten des Programms auszugleichen. Die Au\u00dfenposten hier haben die Feindseligkeit des Milit\u00e4rs gewonnen, da sie h\u00e4ufig bei verschiedenen Schmuggel und Wildereivorhaben eingesetzt werden.\n\nReisewarnung\nNur weil du es kannst, hei\u00dft das nicht, dass du es solltest. Der Schein kann tr\u00fcgen! Obwohl es den Anschein hat, dass es wenig UEE-Aufsicht gibt, ist Etos selbst gut bewacht. Eine Rekordzahl von Piloten mit fragw\u00fcrdigen Absichten wurde 2945 bei dem Versuch erwischt, den Planeten zu erreichen.\n\nIm Wind geh\u00f6rt\n\"Osiris bot uns eine einzigartige Gelegenheit. Bei all den b\u00f6sartigen Auseinandersetzungen \u00fcber Siedlung und Zusammenleben waren alle Teile da, damit wir in unserer Entschlossenheit ins Stocken geraten konnten, aber das taten wir nicht. Die Menschheit w\u00e4hlte, was richtig war.\"\n- Imperatorin Erin Toi, Auszug aus ihren Memoiren Auf dem Weg\n\n\"Die Kreatur fiel mir auf, als das Licht der Taschenlampe einen prismatischen Farbausbruch verursachte, der sich \u00fcber ihren gelatineartigen scheibenf\u00f6rmigen K\u00f6rper ausbreitete. Als ich n\u00e4her kam, um einen besseren Blick zu erhalten, sch\u00e4lte sie sich von der Felsoberfl\u00e4che und fiel zu Boden, auf eine Art und Weise, die man nur als an einen herunterfallenden Pfannkuchen erinnern kann.\"\n- Esther Punari, Etos Field Notes, 2823","zh_CN":"Discovery & Debate\nOsiris is an orange-yellow K-type main sequence star orbited by a pair of planets and a dense asteroid belt.
