Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\n\nWelcome, Citizen, to the official \u201cA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\u201d, 65th edition. There are new, fun, and informative additions to the Guide, such as tips on negotiation and personal safety.\n\nEnjoy your time in the Protectorate and thank you for making us your choice in planning your voyage.\n\n\nSincerely,\nThe UEE Diplomatic Corps\n\n\nWhy visit the Banu?\n\nThe Banu are not only the first alien species that Humanity had contact with, but they have been a consistently peaceful and respectful neighbor who have fostered a close relationship with the UEE and her citizens through economic trade and cultural exchange. On top of all that, they are a rich and vibrant people well worth a closer look.\n\nKnown best for their industrious nature, Banu pride themselves on their artisanal craftsmanship and astute business acumen. Rather than the traditional family units or corporations typically found among Humans, the Banu instead have a societal structure that combines both into one single unit \u2013 the Souli. Often translated as \u2018guild,\u2019 the Souli is the foundation for life in the Protectorate, where Banu work and live together. Each Souli specializes in a specific industry and can vary widely; from a ship manufacturing Souli, to a trade Souli, even a Souli that raises Banu young. There is a Souli for everything. This regimented division of labor translates directly into the skilled expertise present on Banu worlds, markets and trade-vessels making for a memorable visit.Where to go?\nTravelling throughout the Banu Protectorate offers a variety of exotic sights and sounds. From the flotillas of Yulin to the hallowed halls of Trise, you can find adventure and mystery around every corner. So where do you even start? We\u2019ve assembled a handy guide of some of the systems to make planning your journey even easier.\n\nBacchus II\u200b \u2013 Skip between the thousands of archipelagos and islands across this vast ocean world to experience what many consider the quintessential Banu world.\n\nGeddon I\u200b \u2013 Fancy a little danger? Visit the arcologies among the beautiful desolation of this geologically active volcanic world to see how mining soulis are harvesting planetary resources for trade goods.\n\nGliese IV \u2013 Ever wonder what an uninhabited planet looks like? Traverse the unkempt wilds of Gliese IV, perfectly habitable to Humans and Banu, but completely unoccupied.\n\nKins II \u2013 For you history buffs, no trip to the Banu Protectorate would be complete without seeing the ancient structure on Kins II. Completely defying any existing Banu engineering styles, these sites have long baffled xenoarchaeologists about who (or what) built them.\n\nWhat to do when I get there?\nOf course, the Banu don\u2019t spend all their time working and trading. With a strong belief that you should always live in the moment and focus on the present, they take their relaxation almost as seriously as they take their work. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to diversions and there\u2019s sure to be something to match almost any taste. Maybe you would like to try your hand at one of the bustling gambling halls where goods are exuberantly exchanged in games of chance. If you\u2019re passionate about sports, the Banu have taken a strong liking to the Human game of Sataball with many arenas to be found throughout the Protectorate \u2014 just be warned that it\u2019s common for Banu to cheer for both sides in a match!\n\nFor many who visit the Banu, the biggest draw will be the markets which many consider to offer some of the best shopping anywhere in the universe. Not only can you peruse the elite craftsmanship of the various Souli, but because the Banu trade with many other species, you can often find exotic goods from almost every corner of known space and some items from even farther than that. Wandering down the crowded stalls of a Banu Flotilla can be a treat for the senses, but to get the full experience you will definitely want to have the fun of purchasing an item of your very own. For those looking for just a small keepsake of their travels, a popular item to purchase is a tholo, a small three-sided token representative of Cassa, the Banu patron of luck.- These trinkets are sold as decision-making devices, so ask a question, then roll the tholo to get a \u2018yes,\u2019 \u2018no\u2019 or (what roughly translates to)\u2018run\u2019 as an answer.\n\n\n\nAnd after all that exploring and shopping, make sure to stop by one of the dining Souli to experience some of the Banu\u2019s hospitality firsthand and partake in one of their large communal meals. While Banu typically eat with their hands, some places that cater to Humans will have silverware available.\n\nIn the Marketplace\nWhen visiting any Banu population center, from the smallest enclaves to the thriving cities, you will notice one thing: they are always built around a central marketplace. Human anthropologists theorize that early Banu societies must have grown around crossroads, placing themselves along the confluences of travellers allowed them to maximize their exposure to goods moving around their planet. The more popular crossroads attracted more and more Banu until permanent settlements began to take shape around them. Interestingly enough, these are just theories and not even Banu ones. The most comprehensive historians of the Banu culture are actually Humans and that only goes back as far as our first interactions with them. The Banu belief that one should always live in the present has created a cultural mentality that disregards facts of the past. To that end, while technical knowledge will be preserved (until they come across a better design), all other facts (historical figures, key events, even their own homeworld) have been lost to the ages. So, while Humans place great value on deeds and noteworthy\nactions, to the Banu it is the accumulation of material goods that truly represents a life well spent. No where is this clearer than in their markets.\n\nFrom stalls packed to the brim with odds and ends to the immaculate showrooms aboard a Merchantman, there are a few things to keep in mind when trading with the Banu: Negotiating is a must. It is considered very strange to accept an initial offer.\n\nEven though an item or a ship can look the same on the outside, it\u2019s worth taking a\ncloser look as Banu manufacturing can vary widely from Souli to Souli. It may be worth\nshopping around till you find the one that matches your price and quality standards.\n\nAs trade between our two species grows, many Banu are making products specifically to\ncater to Human tastes. For example, there are now numerous ship Souli who are\nconstructing Human flight ready versions of ships like the Merchantman and Defender.\n\nIt is traditional for Banu to offer hospitality while negotiating and you will often see traders\ngathered around a slomaddon, a large ornate brewing vessel, each of them\nhaving contributed an ingredient to the drink, sloma.\n\nIf you are offered a cup, be polite and take a sip, but make sure to drink responsibly\n\u2014 sloma can sometimes be quite potent.\n\nMost Banu will consider a deal final once the transaction is complete. Make sure you\ninspect everything closely and double check the terms of your agreement before leaving.\n\nA good tip for finding a reputable dealer is watching where other Banu shop. If a Souli doesn\u2019t have very many customers there might be a reason for it.\n\nIf you see something you like, go ahead and buy it! Banu traders are often transient and may not be there next time you return.\n\nSafety and Security\nHere are a few tips and pointers to keep in mind during your visit:\n\nMany Humans find that bringing earplugs or other hearing protection can be helpful since the Banu\u2019s hearing isn\u2019t as sensitive and noise levels can get quite high.\n\nWhile many Banu will deal with you honestly, they have what can be described as a lax view of crime and expect visitors to look after themselves, so keep your wits about you at all times. Some travelers find hiring local Banu mercenaries or Defender escorts to be a sound investment.\n\nIf you are the victim of a crime, you will be expected to hire a security Souli to investigate the matter for you. In cases of theft, many are willing to take a percentage of the recovered goods as their fee.\n\nOne of the biggest dangers that Humans can encounter in the Banu Protectorate is slavery. We strongly advise people avoid the \u201cServant Markets\u201d of Kins II for this reason. However, please note that if you are captured by Banu slavers you will most likely be offered the opportunity to purchase your own freedom. There are few companies that offer travelers slavery insurance in case of emergency.\n\nPlease note that while many visitors have read the popular book A Human Perspective, we would like to remind people that this is a work of fiction and should not be counted on as an accurate source of information on the Banu.\n\n\n\n\nA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\n\n\u201cA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\u201d is prepared by the United Empire of Earth Diplomatic Corps for the use of UEE members, both public and private. Logos & photos used with permission. All Rights Reserved.\n\nIntroducing the Banu Defender\nIn the Banu Protectorate, tradesmen are known for hauling precious cargo across long distances in their Merchantman ships. While the Merchantman boasts a cavernous cargo area, it lacks the offensive capabilities to ward off large numbers of attackers.\n\nMeet the Banu Defender, a multi-crew fighter whose patchwork design features both Xi\u2019an thrusters, Tevarin shields, and four Singe tachyon cannons. Though cargo space is limited, the Defender features modest accommodations for its crew and provides easy access to components. The Defender gets its name from the role it serves: the first line of defense against enemy attacks.\n\nThat\u2019s why the Defender makes the ideal companion to the Merchantman: one to do the heavy hauling and the other to perform the deadly dogfighting. Every Banu merchant knows an investment in defense is an investment in their livelihood.\n\nNow, you can purchase both ships as part of the Banu Pack! This exclusive 2-ship pack is available for a limited time. The Defender and Merchantman can also be bought individually in two models: Standard and War Bond. This special sale ends on May 1, 2017.\n\nWe recently published an extensive Q&A on the Banu Defender. You can learn more about this ship here: https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/comm-link\/transmission\/15871-Q-A-Banu-Defender\n\n\n\nAbout the Sale\nThe Defender is being offered for the first time as a limited concept sale. This means that the ship design meets our specifications, but it is not yet ready to display in your Hangar, fight in Arena Commander or fly in the Alpha. All revenue collected from Concept Sales goes directly to supporting the development of Star Citizen; to building a game with a scale and depth that\u2019s never been accomplished in games before. Your contributions directly finance the hundreds of developers striving to create the Best Damn Space Sim ever and the team engaging with the Best Damn Community Ever. Concept Sale profits don\u2019t go to shareholders or personal pockets; they go directly into developing a better game. Star Citizen wouldn\u2019t exist without the continued support of our backers.\n\nThe sale includes Lifetime Insurance on the ship hull and a pair of decorative items for your Hangar. A future patch will add a Defender poster and then once the in-game model is finished you will also be given an in-game Defender mini ship model! In the future, the ship price will increase and the offer will not include Lifetime Insurance or these extras.\n\n\nDisclaimer\nRemember: we are offering this pledge ship to help fund Star Citizen\u2019s development. The funding generated by sales such as this is what allows us to include deeper, non-combat oriented features in the Star Citizen world. Concept ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game.\n\nAdditionally, please note that the Defender will be entering the ship pipeline now, it will ultimately be released after other concept ships have been completed. All decorative \u2018flare\u2019 items will also be available to acquire in the finished game world. The goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the persistent universe launches.","de_DE":"Ein Leitfaden f\u00fcr den Besuch des Banu Protektorats\n\nWillkommen, B\u00fcrger, zum offiziellen \"A Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\", 65. Ausgabe. Es gibt neue, lustige und informative Erg\u00e4nzungen zum Leitfaden, wie z.B. Tipps zu Verhandlungen und pers\u00f6nlicher Sicherheit.\n\nGenie\u00dfen Sie Ihre Zeit im Protektorat und danken Sie uns, dass wir uns bei der Planung Ihrer Reise f\u00fcr Sie entschieden haben.\n\n\nMit freundlichen Gr\u00fc\u00dfen,\nDas UEE Diplomatische Corps\n\n\nWarum die Banu besuchen?\n\nDie Banu sind nicht nur die erste au\u00dferirdische Spezies, mit der die Menschheit Kontakt hatte, sondern sie waren auch ein durchweg friedlicher und respektvoller Nachbar, der durch wirtschaftlichen Handel und kulturellen Austausch eine enge Beziehung zur UEE und ihren B\u00fcrgern gepflegt hat. Dar\u00fcber hinaus sind sie reiche und lebendige Menschen, die einen genaueren Blick wert sind.\n\nBanu ist bekannt f\u00fcr seine flei\u00dfige Natur und ist stolz auf sein handwerkliches K\u00f6nnen und seinen klugen Gesch\u00e4ftssinn. Anstatt der traditionellen Familieneinheiten oder Unternehmen, die typischerweise unter den Menschen zu finden sind, haben die Banu stattdessen eine gesellschaftliche Struktur, die beides zu einer einzigen Einheit vereint - der Souli. Oft \u00fcbersetzt als \"Gilde\", ist die Souli die Grundlage f\u00fcr das Leben im Protektorat, wo Banu arbeitet und zusammenlebt. Jeder Souli ist auf eine bestimmte Branche spezialisiert und kann sehr unterschiedlich sein; von einem Schiff, das Souli herstellt, \u00fcber einen Handel Souli, bis hin zu einem Souli, der Banu Young aufzieht. Es gibt f\u00fcr alles einen Souli. Diese reglementierte Arbeitsteilung \u00fcbersetzt sich direkt in das Fachwissen, das auf den Welten, M\u00e4rkten und Handelsschiffen von Banu vorhanden ist, was einen unvergesslichen Besuch erm\u00f6glicht.\n\nWohin soll man gehen?\nReisen durch das Banu Protektorat bieten eine Vielzahl von exotischen Sehensw\u00fcrdigkeiten und Ger\u00e4uschen. Von den Flottillen von Yulin bis zu den heiligen Hallen von Trise finden Sie Abenteuer und Geheimnisse an jeder Ecke. Also, wo fangen Sie \u00fcberhaupt an? Wir haben eine praktische Anleitung f\u00fcr einige der Systeme zusammengestellt, um Ihnen die Planung Ihrer Reise noch einfacher zu machen.\n\nBacchus II - \u00dcberspringen Sie zwischen den Tausenden von Archipelen und Inseln \u00fcber dieses riesige Gebiet.\nOzeanwelt zu erleben, was viele f\u00fcr die Kernwelt von Banu halten.\n\nGeddon I - Lust auf eine kleine Gefahr? Besuchen Sie die Arkologien inmitten der wundersch\u00f6nen Trostlosigkeit dieser geologisch aktiven vulkanischen Welt, um zu sehen, wie die Minenseelen die planetarischen Ressourcen f\u00fcr Handelsg\u00fcter ernten.\n\nGliese IV - Haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, wie ein unbewohnter Planet aussieht? Durchquere das Ungepflegte.\nWildnis von Gliese IV, perfekt bewohnbar f\u00fcr Menschen und Banu, aber v\u00f6llig unbewohnt.\n\nKins II - F\u00fcr Ihre Geschichtsliebhaber w\u00e4re keine Reise ins Banu Protektorat komplett.\nohne die alte Struktur auf Kins II zu sehen. Vollkommene Missachtung aller bestehenden Banu\nIngenieursstile, diese Seiten haben lange Zeit verbl\u00fcffte Xenoarch\u00e4ologen dar\u00fcber, wer (oder\nwas) sie gebaut hat.\n\nWas tun, wenn ich dort ankomme?\nNat\u00fcrlich verbringen die Banu nicht ihre ganze Zeit damit, zu arbeiten und zu handeln. Mit dem festen Glauben, dass man immer im Moment leben und sich auf die Gegenwart konzentrieren sollte, nehmen sie ihre Entspannung fast so ernst wie ihre Arbeit. Es gibt viele M\u00f6glichkeiten zur Auswahl, wenn es um Ablenkungen geht, und es gibt sicher etwas, das fast jedem Geschmack gerecht wird. Vielleicht m\u00f6chten Sie es in einer der belebten Spielhallen ausprobieren, in denen die Waren in Gl\u00fccksspielen ausgiebig ausgetauscht werden. Wenn Sie sich f\u00fcr Sport begeistern, haben die Banu eine starke Vorliebe f\u00fcr das menschliche Spiel des Sataballs mit vielen Arenen im gesamten Protektorat - seien Sie nur gewarnt, dass es f\u00fcr Banu \u00fcblich ist, beide Seiten in einem Spiel anzufeuern!\n\nF\u00fcr viele, die die Banu besuchen, werden die M\u00e4rkte, die viele als die besten Einkaufsm\u00f6glichkeiten im ganzen Universum betrachten, die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Attraktion sein. Sie k\u00f6nnen nicht nur die elit\u00e4re Handwerkskunst der verschiedenen Souli kennenlernen, sondern auch, weil die Banu mit vielen anderen Arten handeln, k\u00f6nnen Sie oft exotische Waren aus fast jeder Ecke des bekannten Weltraums und einige Gegenst\u00e4nde aus noch weiter entfernter Entfernung finden. Ein Spaziergang durch die \u00fcberf\u00fcllten St\u00e4nde einer Banu-Flottille kann ein Genuss f\u00fcr die Sinne sein, aber um die volle Erfahrung zu machen, werden Sie definitiv den Spa\u00df haben wollen, einen eigenen Gegenstand zu kaufen. F\u00fcr diejenigen, die nur ein kleines Andenken an ihre Reisen suchen, ist ein beliebtes Kaufobjekt ein Tholo, ein kleiner dreiseitiger Token-Vertreter von Cassa, dem Banu-Gl\u00fcckspatron.\n\n- Diese Schmuckst\u00fccke werden als Entscheidungshilfen verkauft, also stellen Sie eine Frage, rollen Sie dann den Tholo, um ein \"Ja\", \"Nein\" oder (was ungef\u00e4hr \u00fcbersetzt bedeutet) \"Laufen\" als Antwort zu erhalten.\n\n\n\nUnd nach all dem Erkunden und Einkaufen sollten Sie unbedingt bei einem der Restaurants Souli anhalten, um die Gastfreundschaft der Banu aus erster Hand zu erleben und an einem ihrer gro\u00dfen gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten teilzunehmen. W\u00e4hrend Banu typischerweise mit den H\u00e4nden isst, haben einige Orte, die sich an Menschen richten, Besteck zur Verf\u00fcgung.\n\nAuf dem Marktplatz\nWenn Sie ein beliebiges Banu-Bewohnerzentrum besuchen, von den kleinsten Enklaven bis hin zu den florierenden St\u00e4dten, werden Sie eines feststellen: Sie sind immer um einen zentralen Marktplatz herum gebaut. Humananthropologen theoretisieren, dass fr\u00fche Banu-Gesellschaften um die Kreuzung herum gewachsen sein m\u00fcssen und sich entlang der Zusammenfl\u00fcsse von Reisenden positionieren, die es ihnen erm\u00f6glichten, ihre Exposition gegen\u00fcber Waren, die sich um ihren Planeten bewegen, zu maximieren. Die beliebtesten Kreuzungen zogen immer mehr Banu an, bis sich um sie herum dauerhafte Siedlungen zu bilden begannen. Interessanterweise sind dies nur Theorien und nicht einmal Banu-Theorien. Die umfassendsten Historiker der Banu-Kultur sind eigentlich Menschen, und das geht nur bis zu unseren ersten Begegnungen mit ihnen zur\u00fcck. Der Banu-Glaube, dass man immer in der Gegenwart leben sollte, hat eine kulturelle Mentalit\u00e4t geschaffen, die Fakten der Vergangenheit au\u00dfer Acht l\u00e4sst. Zu diesem Zweck wird zwar das technische Wissen bewahrt (bis sie auf ein besseres Design sto\u00dfen), aber alle anderen Fakten (historische Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten, Schl\u00fcsselereignisse, sogar die eigene Heimatwelt) sind im Laufe der Zeit verloren gegangen. W\u00e4hrend die Menschen also gro\u00dfen Wert auf Taten und bemerkenswerte Dinge legen.\nHandlungen, f\u00fcr die Banu ist es die Anh\u00e4ufung materieller G\u00fcter, die wirklich ein gut gelebtes Leben darstellt. Wo ist das klarer als in ihren M\u00e4rkten.\n\nVon St\u00e4nden voller Kleinkram bis hin zu den makellosen Ausstellungsr\u00e4umen an Bord eines H\u00e4ndlers gibt es einige Dinge, die man beim Handel mit der Banu beachten sollte:\n\nVerhandeln ist ein Muss. Es gilt als sehr seltsam, ein erstes Angebot anzunehmen. Auch wenn ein Gegenstand oder ein Schiff \u00e4u\u00dferlich gleich aussehen kann, lohnt es sich, eine\nSchauen Sie genauer hin, da die Banu-Produktion von Souli bis Souli sehr unterschiedlich sein kann. Es kann sich lohnen\nEinkaufen, bis Sie diejenige finden, die Ihren Preis- und Qualit\u00e4tsstandards entspricht. Da der Handel zwischen unseren beiden Arten w\u00e4chst, stellen viele Banu Produkte her, die speziell auf die Bed\u00fcrfnisse von\ndem menschlichen Geschmack entsprechen. Zum Beispiel gibt es jetzt zahlreiche Schiffe, die Souli sind.\ndie menschliche flugf\u00e4hige Versionen von Schiffen wie dem Kaufmann und dem Verteidiger bauen. Es ist Tradition, dass Banu w\u00e4hrend der Verhandlungen Gastfreundschaft bietet, und Sie werden oft H\u00e4ndler sehen.\nversammelt um einen Slomaddon, ein gro\u00dfes, kunstvolles Braugef\u00e4\u00df, von dem jeder von ihnen\nnachdem er eine Zutat f\u00fcr das Getr\u00e4nk beigetragen hat, Sloma. Wenn Ihnen eine Tasse angeboten wird, seien Sie h\u00f6flich und trinken Sie einen Schluck, aber achten Sie darauf, verantwortungsbewusst zu trinken.\n- sloma kann manchmal sehr stark sein.\n\nDie meisten Banu werden einen Deal als endg\u00fcltig betrachten, sobald die Transaktion abgeschlossen ist. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie\n\u00dcberpr\u00fcfen Sie alles genau und \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen Sie die Bedingungen Ihrer Vereinbarung, bevor Sie gehen. Ein guter Tipp, um einen seri\u00f6sen H\u00e4ndler zu finden, ist die Beobachtung, wo andere Banu-L\u00e4den sind. Wenn ein Souli nicht sehr viele Kunden hat, kann es einen Grund daf\u00fcr geben. Wenn du etwas siehst, das dir gef\u00e4llt, dann kauf es einfach! Banu-H\u00e4ndler sind oft nur vor\u00fcbergehend und sind bei Ihrer n\u00e4chsten R\u00fcckkehr m\u00f6glicherweise nicht mehr da. Sicherheit und Gefahrenabwehr\nHier sind ein paar Tipps und Hinweise, die Sie w\u00e4hrend Ihres Besuchs beachten sollten:\n\nViele Menschen finden, dass das Mitbringen von Ohrst\u00f6pseln oder anderem Geh\u00f6rschutz hilfreich sein kann, da das Geh\u00f6r des Banu nicht so empfindlich ist und der Ger\u00e4uschpegel ziemlich hoch werden kann. W\u00e4hrend viele Banu ehrlich mit dir umgehen werden, haben sie eine laxe Sichtweise auf Verbrechen und erwarten, dass sich die Besucher um sich selbst k\u00fcmmern, also behalte deinen Verstand immer bei dir. Einige Reisende finden die Einstellung von lokalen Banu-S\u00f6ldnern oder Verteidiger-Eskorten eine gute Investition. Wenn Sie Opfer eines Verbrechens werden, wird von Ihnen erwartet, dass Sie ein Sicherheitsunternehmen Souli beauftragen, die Angelegenheit f\u00fcr Sie zu untersuchen. Im Falle von Diebstahl sind viele bereit, einen Prozentsatz der zur\u00fcckgenommenen Waren als Geb\u00fchr zu nehmen. Eine der gr\u00f6\u00dften Gefahren, denen Menschen im Banu Protektorat begegnen k\u00f6nnen, ist die Sklaverei. Wir raten den Menschen dringend, die \"Servant Markets\" von Kins II aus diesem Grund zu vermeiden. Bitte beachten Sie jedoch, dass, wenn Sie von Banu-Sklavenh\u00e4ndlern gefangen genommen werden, Ihnen h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich die M\u00f6glichkeit geboten wird, Ihre eigene Freiheit zu erwerben. Es gibt nur wenige Unternehmen, die Reisenden eine Sklavenversicherung f\u00fcr den Notfall anbieten. Bitte beachten Sie, dass viele Besucher zwar das beliebte Buch A Human Perspective gelesen haben, aber wir m\u00f6chten Sie daran erinnern, dass es sich um ein Fiktionswerk handelt, auf das nicht als genaue Informationsquelle \u00fcber die Banu zur\u00fcckgegriffen werden sollte.\nEin Leitfaden f\u00fcr den Besuch des Banu Protektorats\n\n\"A Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\" wird vom United Empire of Earth Diplomatic Corps f\u00fcr die Nutzung durch \u00f6ffentliche und private UEE-Mitglieder erstellt.

Alle Rechte vorbehalten.\n\nVorstellung des Banu Verteidigers\nIm Protektorat Banu sind H\u00e4ndler daf\u00fcr bekannt, wertvolle Fracht mit ihren Handelsschiffen \u00fcber weite Strecken zu transportieren. W\u00e4hrend der Kaufmann \u00fcber einen h\u00f6hlenartigen Laderaum verf\u00fcgt, fehlt es ihm an den offensiven F\u00e4higkeiten, um eine gro\u00dfe Anzahl von Angreifern abzuwehren.\n\nLernen Sie den Banu Defender kennen, einen Multi-Crew-K\u00e4mpfer, dessen Patchwork-Design sowohl Xi'an-Triebwerke, Tevarin-Schilde als auch vier Singe-Tachyon-Kanonen beinhaltet. Obwohl der Laderaum begrenzt ist, bietet der Defender seiner Crew bescheidene Unterk\u00fcnfte und einen einfachen Zugang zu den Komponenten. Der Verteidiger hat seinen Namen von der Rolle, die er spielt: die erste Verteidigungslinie gegen feindliche Angriffe.\n\nDeshalb ist der Verteidiger der ideale Begleiter f\u00fcr den Kaufmann: einer f\u00fcr den schweren Transport und der andere f\u00fcr den t\u00f6dlichen Luftkampf. Jeder Banu-H\u00e4ndler wei\u00df, dass eine Investition in die Verteidigung eine Investition in ihren Lebensunterhalt ist.\n\nJetzt kannst du beide Schiffe als Teil des Banu-Pakets kaufen! Dieses exklusive 2-Ship-Paket ist f\u00fcr eine begrenzte Zeit erh\u00e4ltlich. Der Verteidiger und der H\u00e4ndler k\u00f6nnen auch einzeln in zwei Modellen gekauft werden: Standard- und Kriegsanleihen. Dieser Sonderverkauf endet am 1. Mai 2017.\n\nWir haben k\u00fcrzlich eine ausf\u00fchrliche Q&A zum Banu Defender ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Mehr \u00fcber dieses Schiff erfahren Sie hier: https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/comm-link\/transmission\/15871-Q-A-Banu-Defender\n\n\n\n\u00dcber den Verkauf\nDer Verteidiger wird zum ersten Mal als limitierter Konzeptverkauf angeboten. Das bedeutet, dass das Schiffsdesign unseren Spezifikationen entspricht, aber es ist noch nicht bereit, in Ihrem Hangar ausgestellt zu werden, im Arena Commander zu k\u00e4mpfen oder im Alpha zu fliegen. Alle Einnahmen aus Concept Sales flie\u00dfen direkt in die Unterst\u00fctzung der Entwicklung von Star Citizen; in den Aufbau eines Spiels mit einer Gr\u00f6\u00dfenordnung und Tiefe, die in Spielen bisher nicht erreicht wurde. Deine Beitr\u00e4ge finanzieren direkt die Hunderte von Entwicklern, die sich um die beste Damn Space Sim aller Zeiten bem\u00fchen, und das Team, das sich mit der Best Damn Community aller Zeiten besch\u00e4ftigt. Concept Sale Gewinne gehen nicht an Aktion\u00e4re oder pers\u00f6nliche Taschen, sondern direkt in die Entwicklung eines besseren Spiels. Star Citizen w\u00fcrde ohne die kontinuierliche Unterst\u00fctzung unserer Geldgeber nicht existieren.\n\nDer Verkauf beinhaltet eine Lebensversicherung auf dem Schiffsrumpf und ein Paar dekorative Gegenst\u00e4nde f\u00fcr Ihren Hangar. Ein zuk\u00fcnftiger Patch wird ein Defender-Poster hinzuf\u00fcgen und dann, wenn das In-Game-Modell fertig ist, erhalten Sie auch ein In-Game-Defender-Mini-Schiffsmodell! In Zukunft wird der Schiffspreis steigen und das Angebot wird keine Lebensversicherung oder diese Extras beinhalten.\n\n\nHaftungsausschluss\nDenken Sie daran: Wir bieten dieses Pfandboot an, um die Entwicklung von Star Citizen zu unterst\u00fctzen. Die durch einen solchen Verkauf generierte Finanzierung erm\u00f6glicht es uns, tiefere, nicht kampforientierte Merkmale in die Welt von Star Citizen einzubeziehen. Konzeptschiffe werden f\u00fcr In-Game-Credits im finalen Universum zur Verf\u00fcgung stehen, und sie sind nicht verpflichtet, das Spiel zu starten.\n\nBitte beachten Sie au\u00dferdem, dass der Verteidiger jetzt in die Schiffspipeline eintritt und diese schlie\u00dflich nach Fertigstellung anderer Konzeptschiffe freigegeben wird. Alle dekorativen \"Flare\"-Elemente werden auch in der fertigen Spielwelt erh\u00e4ltlich sein. Ziel ist es, zus\u00e4tzliche Schiffe zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen, die den Spielern beim Start des persistenten Universums eine andere Erfahrung und keinen besonderen Vorteil bieten.","zh_CN":"A Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\n\nWelcome, Citizen, to the official \u201cA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\u201d, 65th edition. There are new, fun, and informative additions to the Guide, such as tips on negotiation and personal safety.\n\nEnjoy your time in the Protectorate and thank you for making us your choice in planning your voyage.\n\n\nSincerely,\nThe UEE Diplomatic Corps\n\n\nWhy visit the Banu?\n\nThe Banu are not only the first alien species that Humanity had contact with, but they have been a consistently peaceful and respectful neighbor who have fostered a close relationship with the UEE and her citizens through economic trade and cultural exchange. On top of all that, they are a rich and vibrant people well worth a closer look.\n\nKnown best for their industrious nature, Banu pride themselves on their artisanal craftsmanship and astute business acumen. Rather than the traditional family units or corporations typically found among Humans, the Banu instead have a societal structure that combines both into one single unit \u2013 the Souli. Often translated as \u2018guild,\u2019 the Souli is the foundation for life in the Protectorate, where Banu work and live together. Each Souli specializes in a specific industry and can vary widely; from a ship manufacturing Souli, to a trade Souli, even a Souli that raises Banu young. There is a Souli for everything. This regimented division of labor translates directly into the skilled expertise present on Banu worlds, markets and trade-vessels making for a memorable visit.Where to go?\nTravelling throughout the Banu Protectorate offers a variety of exotic sights and sounds. From the flotillas of Yulin to the hallowed halls of Trise, you can find adventure and mystery around every corner. So where do you even start? We\u2019ve assembled a handy guide of some of the systems to make planning your journey even easier.\n\nBacchus II\u200b \u2013 Skip between the thousands of archipelagos and islands across this vast ocean world to experience what many consider the quintessential Banu world.\n\nGeddon I\u200b \u2013 Fancy a little danger? Visit the arcologies among the beautiful desolation of this geologically active volcanic world to see how mining soulis are harvesting planetary resources for trade goods.\n\nGliese IV \u2013 Ever wonder what an uninhabited planet looks like? Traverse the unkempt wilds of Gliese IV, perfectly habitable to Humans and Banu, but completely unoccupied.\n\nKins II \u2013 For you history buffs, no trip to the Banu Protectorate would be complete without seeing the ancient structure on Kins II. Completely defying any existing Banu engineering styles, these sites have long baffled xenoarchaeologists about who (or what) built them.\n\nWhat to do when I get there?\nOf course, the Banu don\u2019t spend all their time working and trading. With a strong belief that you should always live in the moment and focus on the present, they take their relaxation almost as seriously as they take their work. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to diversions and there\u2019s sure to be something to match almost any taste. Maybe you would like to try your hand at one of the bustling gambling halls where goods are exuberantly exchanged in games of chance. If you\u2019re passionate about sports, the Banu have taken a strong liking to the Human game of Sataball with many arenas to be found throughout the Protectorate \u2014 just be warned that it\u2019s common for Banu to cheer for both sides in a match!\n\nFor many who visit the Banu, the biggest draw will be the markets which many consider to offer some of the best shopping anywhere in the universe. Not only can you peruse the elite craftsmanship of the various Souli, but because the Banu trade with many other species, you can often find exotic goods from almost every corner of known space and some items from even farther than that. Wandering down the crowded stalls of a Banu Flotilla can be a treat for the senses, but to get the full experience you will definitely want to have the fun of purchasing an item of your very own. For those looking for just a small keepsake of their travels, a popular item to purchase is a tholo, a small three-sided token representative of Cassa, the Banu patron of luck.- These trinkets are sold as decision-making devices, so ask a question, then roll the tholo to get a \u2018yes,\u2019 \u2018no\u2019 or (what roughly translates to)\u2018run\u2019 as an answer.\n\n\n\nAnd after all that exploring and shopping, make sure to stop by one of the dining Souli to experience some of the Banu\u2019s hospitality firsthand and partake in one of their large communal meals. While Banu typically eat with their hands, some places that cater to Humans will have silverware available.\n\nIn the Marketplace\nWhen visiting any Banu population center, from the smallest enclaves to the thriving cities, you will notice one thing: they are always built around a central marketplace. Human anthropologists theorize that early Banu societies must have grown around crossroads, placing themselves along the confluences of travellers allowed them to maximize their exposure to goods moving around their planet. The more popular crossroads attracted more and more Banu until permanent settlements began to take shape around them. Interestingly enough, these are just theories and not even Banu ones. The most comprehensive historians of the Banu culture are actually Humans and that only goes back as far as our first interactions with them. The Banu belief that one should always live in the present has created a cultural mentality that disregards facts of the past. To that end, while technical knowledge will be preserved (until they come across a better design), all other facts (historical figures, key events, even their own homeworld) have been lost to the ages. So, while Humans place great value on deeds and noteworthy\nactions, to the Banu it is the accumulation of material goods that truly represents a life well spent. No where is this clearer than in their markets.\n\nFrom stalls packed to the brim with odds and ends to the immaculate showrooms aboard a Merchantman, there are a few things to keep in mind when trading with the Banu: Negotiating is a must. It is considered very strange to accept an initial offer.\n\nEven though an item or a ship can look the same on the outside, it\u2019s worth taking a\ncloser look as Banu manufacturing can vary widely from Souli to Souli. It may be worth\nshopping around till you find the one that matches your price and quality standards.\n\nAs trade between our two species grows, many Banu are making products specifically to\ncater to Human tastes. For example, there are now numerous ship Souli who are\nconstructing Human flight ready versions of ships like the Merchantman and Defender.\n\nIt is traditional for Banu to offer hospitality while negotiating and you will often see traders\ngathered around a slomaddon, a large ornate brewing vessel, each of them\nhaving contributed an ingredient to the drink, sloma.\n\nIf you are offered a cup, be polite and take a sip, but make sure to drink responsibly\n\u2014 sloma can sometimes be quite potent.\n\nMost Banu will consider a deal final once the transaction is complete. Make sure you\ninspect everything closely and double check the terms of your agreement before leaving.\n\nA good tip for finding a reputable dealer is watching where other Banu shop. If a Souli doesn\u2019t have very many customers there might be a reason for it.\n\nIf you see something you like, go ahead and buy it! Banu traders are often transient and may not be there next time you return.\n\nSafety and Security\nHere are a few tips and pointers to keep in mind during your visit:\n\nMany Humans find that bringing earplugs or other hearing protection can be helpful since the Banu\u2019s hearing isn\u2019t as sensitive and noise levels can get quite high.\n\nWhile many Banu will deal with you honestly, they have what can be described as a lax view of crime and expect visitors to look after themselves, so keep your wits about you at all times. Some travelers find hiring local Banu mercenaries or Defender escorts to be a sound investment.\n\nIf you are the victim of a crime, you will be expected to hire a security Souli to investigate the matter for you. In cases of theft, many are willing to take a percentage of the recovered goods as their fee.\n\nOne of the biggest dangers that Humans can encounter in the Banu Protectorate is slavery. We strongly advise people avoid the \u201cServant Markets\u201d of Kins II for this reason. However, please note that if you are captured by Banu slavers you will most likely be offered the opportunity to purchase your own freedom. There are few companies that offer travelers slavery insurance in case of emergency.\n\nPlease note that while many visitors have read the popular book A Human Perspective, we would like to remind people that this is a work of fiction and should not be counted on as an accurate source of information on the Banu.\n\n\n\n\nA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\n\n\u201cA Guide to Visiting the Banu Protectorate\u201d is prepared by the United Empire of Earth Diplomatic Corps for the use of UEE members, both public and private. Logos & photos used with permission. All Rights Reserved.\n\nIntroducing the Banu Defender\nIn the Banu Protectorate, tradesmen are known for hauling precious cargo across long distances in their Merchantman ships. While the Merchantman boasts a cavernous cargo area, it lacks the offensive capabilities to ward off large numbers of attackers.\n\nMeet the Banu Defender, a multi-crew fighter whose patchwork design features both Xi\u2019an thrusters, Tevarin shields, and four Singe tachyon cannons. Though cargo space is limited, the Defender features modest accommodations for its crew and provides easy access to components. The Defender gets its name from the role it serves: the first line of defense against enemy attacks.\n\nThat\u2019s why the Defender makes the ideal companion to the Merchantman: one to do the heavy hauling and the other to perform the deadly dogfighting. Every Banu merchant knows an investment in defense is an investment in their livelihood.\n\nNow, you can purchase both ships as part of the Banu Pack! This exclusive 2-ship pack is available for a limited time. The Defender and Merchantman can also be bought individually in two models: Standard and War Bond. This special sale ends on May 1, 2017.\n\nWe recently published an extensive Q&A on the Banu Defender. You can learn more about this ship here: https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/comm-link\/transmission\/15871-Q-A-Banu-Defender\n\n\n\nAbout the Sale\nThe Defender is being offered for the first time as a limited concept sale. This means that the ship design meets our specifications, but it is not yet ready to display in your Hangar, fight in Arena Commander or fly in the Alpha. All revenue collected from Concept Sales goes directly to supporting the development of Star Citizen; to building a game with a scale and depth that\u2019s never been accomplished in games before. Your contributions directly finance the hundreds of developers striving to create the Best Damn Space Sim ever and the team engaging with the Best Damn Community Ever. Concept Sale profits don\u2019t go to shareholders or personal pockets; they go directly into developing a better game. Star Citizen wouldn\u2019t exist without the continued support of our backers.\n\nThe sale includes Lifetime Insurance on the ship hull and a pair of decorative items for your Hangar. A future patch will add a Defender poster and then once the in-game model is finished you will also be given an in-game Defender mini ship model! In the future, the ship price will increase and the offer will not include Lifetime Insurance or these extras.\n\n\nDisclaimer\nRemember: we are offering this pledge ship to help fund Star Citizen\u2019s development. The funding generated by sales such as this is what allows us to include deeper, non-combat oriented features in the Star Citizen world. Concept ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game.\n\nAdditionally, please note that the Defender will be entering the ship pipeline now, it will ultimately be released after other concept ships have been completed. All decorative \u2018flare\u2019 items will also be available to acquire in the finished game world. The goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the persistent universe launches."},"links_count":2,"comment_count":197,"created_at":"2017-04-22T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"9 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-05-08 00:18:13","valid_relations":["images","links"],"prev_id":15860,"next_id":15864}}
