It is a distinctly Xi\u2019an approach to geoplanning that Humanity has slowly begun to embrace, specifically within the Stanton System. Tal offers another unique distinction; it is one of the few Xi\u2019an-controlled systems that openly welcomes Humans. As a major hub for industry and trade, many believe the Xi\u2019an encourage Humans to do business in Tal to keep them out of other parts of Xi\u2019an space.\n\nUEE diplomatic envoy Jameson Wallach was the first known Human to visit the Tal System. Following the Peace Treaty of 2789, the Xi\u2019an government disclosed to the UEE the existence of this system; prior to this revelation, Humans hadn\u2019t known it was there. Envoy Wallach\u2019s guided tour of the system was considered by many to be gesture of goodwill, though critics quickly dismissed it as a ploy of the Xi\u2019an. Visten Bana, one of the most outspoken critics of the treaty, claimed, \u201cthe Xi\u2019an are attempting to infiltrate the Empire, not with weapons or with armies, but through Credits. The new battlefield will not be our planets, but our economy.\u201d\n\nVisitors to any planet in the Tal System might need a few minutes for their eyes to adjust. The Xi\u2019an have assigned one specific color for each planet to incorporate into all its structures. Most first-time Human visitors find the view to be strange, spectacular and overwhelming all at once. After a number of accidents caused by disoriented Human pilots, the Tal landing zone authority now discourages people from manually landing their ships.\n\nThe uniqueness and strict organization of the planets does not end with their color-coding. Although the actual system is far more complex than a simple summary can provide, merchants should familiarize themselves with each planet\u2019s focus before visiting to avoid the embarrassment of attempting to make a deal in the wrong part of the system. Tal II makes large-scale space fabrication and ship manufacturing. Tal III deals with food and textiles. Tal IV processes ore and gases. Tal V handles the manufacturing of products, from building materials to weapons.\n\nThe system is in constant need of raw materials, particularly hydrogen and antimatter, to keep their supply chain cranking at full capacity. Bargain hunters and small-time haulers should make sure to crunch the numbers before spending the time and resources on a trip to Tal. However, keen traders can bring in raw materials to sell and leave with Xi\u2019an-made merchandise. With Xi\u2019an products growing in popularity around the UEE, merchants and haulers should not have too much trouble selling the unique Xi\u2019an goods found throughout the inhabited worlds of Tal.\n\nAs relations with the Xi\u2019an have warmed, tourism to the Tal System has seen a noticeable uptick. Explore It Tal!, a Goss-based travel company, specializes in organizing group trips to the Tal System for those hesitant about going unguided. It is perfect for those who want to experience an alien world without having to navigate the foreign customs alone.\n\nFor those brave enough to do it on their own, here are a few tips. Adventure seekers and explorers frequently visit Tal II and Tal V in search of the latest Xi\u2019an ship and weapons tech to give them an advantage over others in UEE space. Foodies and fashionistas flock to Tal III to sample Xi\u2019an food at its source and buy exotic textiles directly from manufacturers. Tal IV is recommended only for business visitors, due to the inherent dangers of its large antimatter production facilities.\n\nY.\u014cM\u2019E (TAL I)\nThis small planet sits too close to the system\u2019s sun to maintain life. It is pockmarked with craters from probes and mining missions that sought resources to be used by the rest of the system. As far as we know, nothing valuable was ever found and the Xi\u2019an left Tal I to bake eternally in the sun. All the heat radiating off the rocky planet makes it appear to shimmer and glow.\n\nOLI\u2019XA (TAL II)\nUpon visiting Tal II, famed musician Sindo Guerrero took inspiration from all the buildings being accented in yellow to write his record-breaking, chart-topping hit, \u201cSun Kissed.\u201d\n\nHome to large-scale space fabrications, Tal II is the technology hub of the system. The planet\u2019s factories pump out some of the most advanced ship parts in the \u2019verse. This mixture of industrial fabrication and high-end technology makes Tal II the system\u2019s busiest planet. The constant hum of machinery and the non-stop flow of workers hustling in and out of yellow buildings has earned Tall-II the nickname \u201cThe Hive\u201d among Human visitors.\n\nIt is not uncommon to see Humans living on Tal II, though to do so, one must have a valid work permit. Human corporations have also begun to seek out more stable opportunities in the system, with MISC having recently established a small branch office here that facilitates their agreement with the Xi\u2019an; it was the central development site of the cutting-edge avionics software used in their new Reliant line.\n\nFinally, do not forget to bring your sunglasses to help with the strong glare from the yellow-tinged architecture, but remember, please remove your sunglasses before interacting with the Xi\u2019an. In their culture, it is considered disrespectful to hide one\u2019s eyes when speaking.\n\nL\u016aNG\u2019XYI (TAL III)\nIf you are a first-time visitor to the Tal System, begin your visit on Tal III. Considered the cultural hub of the system, the residents are used to Human visitors and are very welcoming of tourists, more so than the typical Xi\u2019an world. In fact, many find the planet to be a perfect metaphor for the Xi\u2019an themselves. With most of the lush landscape covered in neat farms, the cities create a stark contrast to their natural surroundings, with their appointed color-scheme of violet popping brightly upon approach.\n\nAs a major manufacturer of food for the system, and possibly their entire empire, L\u016bng\u2019xyi is a must-stop for Xi\u2019an food enthusiasts. For those who have never tried the cuisine, be prepared for a sensation unlike any other. Some Xi\u2019an dishes uses flavorful spices that cause minor muscle spasms in the Human mouth. It is definitely not dangerous, but will just as definitely surprise those who are not expecting it. Humans may find the sensation weird and off-putting, but many believe it actually enhances the flavor of the food. Most restaurants will adjust the strength of the spices to the Human palette. Do not be afraid to politely inquire about the spice level of the food if the waiter does not bring it up. Just remember to do so before they begin preparing your dish.\n\nMeanwhile, the beautiful and fragrant countryside of L\u016bng\u2019xyi tempts Humans with a natural visual diversity that does not exists within its cities. Many visitors want to explore the countryside, but few actually do. The area is generally considered off-limits to foreigners unless one is given special permission and guided by a Xi\u2019an. Do not forget the brief diplomatic spat that occurred in 2890 when Prime resident Shinji Shapiro was detained after being found wandering the fields of Tal III alone.\n\nTal III\u2019s textile industry draws many of the UEE\u2019s top designers to the planet. Patterns and fabrics discovered here quickly find their way to runways on Terra and Earth before creating trends across the entire Empire. Certain discerning buyers even schedule travel to Tal III while major fashion shows occur in the UEE so that they will be in place once the hot new trend has been determined, to purchase as much of the in-vogue fabric or pattern as they can. The qualities of Luk\u2019Shi\u2019s garment industry also have the fashionable flocking to the planet for custom-made clothes. Some shops have even begun to offer trained tailors that can modify Xi\u2019an fashion to more flatteringly fit the Human form.\n\nLIX\u0100UU (TAL IV)\nTal IV is the least visited habitable planet in the system, and for good reason. It is home to major processing facilities and refineries. Unless there is business to be had here, it is probably best to avoid it.\n\nEven though Lix\u0101uu\u2019s building are lined in green, this is a blue-collar planet through and through, with haulers and refinery workers making up a majority of the population. While the upscale fare found on L\u016bng\u2019xyi often gets the lion\u2019s share of the praise from the culinary world, those who seek a more authentic experience say that it can be found in the working-class food stalls thickly stacked outside of almost all of the planet\u2019s numerous processing plants. Almost as ubiquitous as the stalls themselves is the warm, thick fermented drink called yahlu that the workers consume before work.\n\nA word of warning: Tal IV\u2019s atmosphere does contain traces amounts of acid, but thankfully it is not enough to harm buildings, ships or residents wearing the proper attire. It was the main reason the Xi\u2019an placed the more polluting plants here instead of industries that would draw more traffic. That said, if you find yourself on Tal IV in the midst of a rain storm, it is probably best to seek shelter sooner rather than later and to avoid getting the precipitation on your bare skin.\n\nRY\u014cL (TAL V)\nNever say that the Xi\u2019an lack a sense of humor. Tal V, whose buildings prominently feature a burnt orange color, houses a high percentage of industrial complexes dedicated to the end-stage processing of arms and weapons. If the planet is approached in just the right light, the sun\u2019s rays reflected off the burnt orange almost look like energy weapon blasts.\n\nMany Humans have made their way to Ry\u014dl in search of advanced weapons for their personal or ship armament. With the Xi\u2019an still secretive over much of their technology, only certain parts of the planet are open to Human visitors. These areas feature a heavy Xi\u2019an military presence, but do not let that dissuade you from stopping in to buy the latest blaster. Very little violence or crime has been reported by travelers. This is partially due to the prevalence of armed security but also because, in light of the peace treaty, the Xi\u2019an government seems eager to avoid confrontation with Humans as much as possible.\n\nCHUAITON (TAL VI)\nDeemed uninhabitable upon its discovery, this resource-rich rock was part of the reason the Xi\u2019an based a Production System in Tal. Centuries of mining have reportedly stripped Tal VI of significant amounts resources, though it may be difficult to check if anything of value is left for yourself since the Xi\u2019an military keeps a watchful eye over all traffic that nears the planet. This has led people to theorize that there is more going on in Tal VI than meets the eye. Even in the most open Xi\u2019an system to Humans, secrets still abound.\n\nKYU\u2019NAO (TAL VII)\nLocated in the farthest reaches of the Tal System, Tal VII is a prismatic gas giant that is said to be a reflection of the planets it watches over. This is because its four thick, colored bands of roiling clouds match the colors assigned to the inhabited worlds in the system. A wonderful example of the harmony and symmetry in which Xi\u2019an culture places deep value, Tal VII is a fitting last stop for any visitor\u2019s tour of the system.\n\nHEARD IN THE WIND\n\u201cBeauty, boldness and bliss. All exist on the world that\u2019s sun kissed.\u201d\n- Sindo Guerrero, \u201cSun Kissed\u201d\n\n\u201cYour entire mouth feels alive. Almost like something is crawling inside it. At first I was pretty sure I didn\u2019t like it, but a few days later, there I was back in the restaurant gulping it down again.\u201d\n- Chef Alicia Tan, Eating My Way","de_DE":"EINZIGARTIG IM ZWECK\n\nEinfach ausgedr\u00fcckt, ist das Tal-System die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Produktionslieferkette der Strophe.\n\nDas Xi'an klassifizierte Tal befindet sich direkt hinter der Perry-Linie und dient als Produktionssystem, wobei jeder bewohnbare Planet f\u00fcr einen bestimmten industriellen Zweck bestimmt ist. Es ist ein ausgepr\u00e4gter Xi'an-Ansatz zur Geoplanung, den die Menschheit langsam anzunehmen begonnen hat, insbesondere innerhalb des Stantonssystems. Tal bietet eine weitere einzigartige Besonderheit: Es ist eines der wenigen von Xi'an kontrollierten Systeme, das den Menschen offen begr\u00fc\u00dft. Als wichtige Drehscheibe f\u00fcr Industrie und Handel glauben viele, dass die Xi'an die Menschen ermutigen, Gesch\u00e4fte in Tal zu machen, um sie von anderen Teilen von Xi'an fernzuhalten.\n\nDer diplomatische Gesandte der UEE, Jameson Wallach, war der erste bekannte Mensch, der das Tal-System besuchte. Nach dem Friedensvertrag von 2789 offenbarte die Xi'an-Regierung der UEE die Existenz dieses Systems; vor dieser Offenbarung hatten die Menschen nicht gewusst, dass es da war. Die F\u00fchrung des Gesandten Wallach durch das System wurde von vielen als Geste des guten Willens angesehen, obwohl Kritiker es schnell als einen Trick der Xi'an bezeichneten. Visten Bana, einer der unverbl\u00fcmtesten Kritiker des Vertrages, behauptete: \"Die Xi'an versuchen, das Reich zu infiltrieren, nicht mit Waffen oder Armeen, sondern mit Credits. Das neue Schlachtfeld wird nicht unsere Planeten sein, sondern unsere Wirtschaft.\"\n\nBesucher eines beliebigen Planeten im Tal-System brauchen m\u00f6glicherweise ein paar Minuten, bis sich ihre Augen angepasst haben. Die Xi'an haben jedem Planeten eine bestimmte Farbe zugewiesen, die er in alle seine Strukturen integrieren kann. Die meisten Erstbesucher von Human finden die Aussicht seltsam, spektakul\u00e4r und \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigend zugleich. Nach einer Reihe von Unf\u00e4llen, die durch desorientierte menschliche Piloten verursacht wurden, h\u00e4lt die Landezone Tal nun die Menschen davon ab, ihre Schiffe manuell zu landen.\n\nDie Einzigartigkeit und strenge Organisation der Planeten endet nicht mit ihrer Farbcodierung. Obwohl das eigentliche System viel komplexer ist, als es eine einfache Zusammenfassung bieten kann, sollten sich H\u00e4ndler vor ihrem Besuch mit dem Fokus jedes Planeten vertraut machen, um die Peinlichkeit des Versuchs zu vermeiden, einen Handel im falschen Teil des Systems abzuschlie\u00dfen. Tal II fertigt Gro\u00dfraumanwendungen und Schiffbau. Tal III besch\u00e4ftigt sich mit Lebensmitteln und Textilien. Tal IV verarbeitet Erz und Gase. Tal V k\u00fcmmert sich um die Herstellung von Produkten, von Baumaterialien bis hin zu Waffen.\n\nDas System ben\u00f6tigt st\u00e4ndig Rohstoffe, insbesondere Wasserstoff und Antimaterie, um seine Lieferkette auf Hochtouren zu halten. Schn\u00e4ppchenj\u00e4ger und Kleintransporter sollten darauf achten, die Zahlen zu knacken, bevor sie die Zeit und Ressourcen f\u00fcr eine Reise nach Tal aufwenden. Begeisterte H\u00e4ndler k\u00f6nnen jedoch Rohstoffe einbringen, um sie zu verkaufen und mit von Xi'an hergestellten Waren zu verlassen. Da Xi'an-Produkte rund um die UEE immer beliebter werden, sollten H\u00e4ndler und Spediteure keine allzu gro\u00dfen Schwierigkeiten haben, die einzigartigen Xi'an-Produkte zu verkaufen, die in den bewohnten Welten von Tal zu finden sind.\n\nW\u00e4hrend sich die Beziehungen zu den Xi'an erw\u00e4rmt haben, hat der Tourismus zum Tal-System einen sp\u00fcrbaren Aufschwung erlebt. Explore It Tal! ist ein in Goss ans\u00e4ssiges Reiseunternehmen, das sich auf die Organisation von Gruppenreisen zum Tal-System f\u00fcr diejenigen spezialisiert hat, die z\u00f6gern, ohne F\u00fchrung zu reisen. Es ist perfekt f\u00fcr diejenigen, die eine fremde Welt erleben wollen, ohne allein durch die fremden Br\u00e4uche navigieren zu m\u00fcssen.\n\nF\u00fcr diejenigen, die mutig genug sind, es selbst zu tun, hier sind ein paar Tipps. Abenteuerlustige und Entdecker besuchen h\u00e4ufig Tal II und Tal V auf der Suche nach den neuesten Xi'an-Schiffen und Waffentechnologien, um ihnen einen Vorteil gegen\u00fcber anderen im UEE-Raum zu verschaffen. Foodies und Fashionistas str\u00f6men nach Tal III, um Xi'an Lebensmittel an der Quelle zu probieren und exotische Textilien direkt von Herstellern zu kaufen. Tal IV wird aufgrund der inh\u00e4renten Gefahren seiner gro\u00dfen Antimaterie-Produktionsanlagen nur f\u00fcr Fachbesucher empfohlen.\n\nY.\u014cM'E (TAL I)\nDieser kleine Planet sitzt zu nah an der Sonne des Systems, um das Leben zu erhalten. Es ist mit Kratern von Sonden und Minenmissionen \u00fcbers\u00e4t, die nach Ressourcen suchten, die vom Rest des Systems genutzt werden konnten. Soweit wir wissen, wurde nie etwas Wertvolles gefunden und das Xi'an verlie\u00df Tal I, um ewig in der Sonne zu backen. Die ganze Hitze, die von dem felsigen Planeten ausgeht, l\u00e4sst ihn schimmern und leuchten.\n\nOLI'XA (TAL II)\nBei seinem Besuch bei Tal II lie\u00df sich der ber\u00fchmte Musiker Sindo Guerrero von den gelben Akzenten aller Geb\u00e4ude inspirieren, um seinen rekordverd\u00e4chtigen, chartbetonten Hit \"Sun Kissed\" zu schreiben.\n\nTal II ist die technologische Drehscheibe des Systems und beherbergt gro\u00df angelegte Raumfahrtproduktionen. Die Fabriken des Planeten pumpen einige der fortschrittlichsten Schiffsteile im Vers heraus. Diese Mischung aus industrieller Fertigung und High-End-Technologie macht Tal II zum verkehrsreichsten Planeten des Systems. Das st\u00e4ndige Summen der Maschinen und der ununterbrochene Fluss von Arbeitern, die in und aus gelben Geb\u00e4uden huschen, hat Tall-II den Spitznamen \"The Hive\" eingebracht.\n\nEs ist nicht ungew\u00f6hnlich, dass Menschen auf Tal II leben, aber um dies zu tun, muss man eine g\u00fcltige Arbeitserlaubnis haben. Menschliche Unternehmen haben auch begonnen, stabilere M\u00f6glichkeiten im System zu suchen, wobei MISC k\u00fcrzlich eine kleine Niederlassung hier gegr\u00fcndet hat, die ihre Vereinbarung mit dem Xi'an erleichtert; es war der zentrale Entwicklungsstandort der hochmodernen Avioniksoftware, die in ihrer neuen Reliant Linie verwendet wird.\n\nVergessen Sie nicht, Ihre Sonnenbrille mitzubringen, um bei der starken Blendung durch die gelb gef\u00e4rbte Architektur zu helfen, aber denken Sie daran, bitte entfernen Sie Ihre Sonnenbrille, bevor Sie mit dem Xi'an interagieren. In ihrer Kultur gilt es als respektlos, die Augen beim Sprechen zu verbergen.\n\nL\u016aNG'XYI (TAL III)\nWenn Sie zum ersten Mal das Tal-System besuchen, beginnen Sie Ihren Besuch auf Tal III. Als kulturelles Zentrum des Systems sind die Bewohner an menschliche Besucher gew\u00f6hnt und hei\u00dfen Touristen sehr willkommen, mehr als die typische Xi'an-Welt. Tats\u00e4chlich finden viele den Planeten als eine perfekte Metapher f\u00fcr die Xi'an selbst. Mit den meisten der \u00fcppigen Landschaft, die von gepflegten Bauernh\u00f6fen bedeckt ist, bilden die St\u00e4dte einen starken Kontrast zu ihrer nat\u00fcrlichen Umgebung, mit ihrem festgelegten Farbschema aus Veilchen, das bei der Ann\u00e4herung hell auftaucht.\n\nAls bedeutender Hersteller von Lebensmitteln f\u00fcr das System und m\u00f6glicherweise f\u00fcr das gesamte Imperium ist L\u016bng'xyi ein Muss f\u00fcr Xi'an-Lebensmittelfreunde. F\u00fcr diejenigen, die die K\u00fcche noch nie ausprobiert haben, bereiten Sie sich auf eine Sensation wie keine andere vor. Einige Xi'an Gerichte verwenden aromatische Gew\u00fcrze, die kleinere Muskelkr\u00e4mpfe im menschlichen Mund verursachen. Es ist definitiv nicht gef\u00e4hrlich, wird aber auch diejenigen \u00fcberraschen, die es nicht erwarten. Menschen k\u00f6nnen das Gef\u00fchl seltsam und abschreckend finden, aber viele glauben, dass es tats\u00e4chlich den Geschmack des Essens verst\u00e4rkt. Die meisten Restaurants passen die St\u00e4rke der Gew\u00fcrze an die menschliche Palette an. Scheuen Sie sich nicht, h\u00f6flich nach dem Gew\u00fcrzniveau des Essens zu fragen, wenn der Kellner es nicht erw\u00e4hnt. Denken Sie einfach daran, dies zu tun, bevor sie anfangen, Ihr Gericht zuzubereiten.\n\nDie sch\u00f6ne und duftende Landschaft von L\u016bng'xyi verf\u00fchrt den Menschen mit einer nat\u00fcrlichen visuellen Vielfalt, die es in seinen St\u00e4dten nicht gibt. Viele Besucher wollen die Landschaft erkunden, aber nur wenige tun es tats\u00e4chlich. Das Gebiet gilt im Allgemeinen als tabu f\u00fcr Ausl\u00e4nder, es sei denn, man erh\u00e4lt eine Sondergenehmigung und wird von einem Xi'an gef\u00fchrt. Vergessen Sie nicht den kurzen diplomatischen Streit, der sich 2890 ereignete, als der Hauptbewohner Shinji Shapiro festgenommen wurde, nachdem er allein auf den Feldern von Tal III gefunden wurde.\n\nDie Textilindustrie von Tal III zieht viele der besten Designer der UEE auf den Planeten. Die hier entdeckten Muster und Stoffe finden schnell ihren Weg zu Start- und Landebahnen auf Terra und Erde, bevor sie Trends im gesamten Reich kreieren. Bestimmte anspruchsvolle K\u00e4ufer planen sogar Reisen zu Tal III, w\u00e4hrend gro\u00dfe Modenschauen in der UEE stattfinden, so dass sie an Ort und Stelle sein werden, sobald der hei\u00dfe neue Trend festgestellt wurde, um so viel wie m\u00f6glich von dem in-vogue Stoff oder Muster zu kaufen. Die Qualit\u00e4ten der Bekleidungsindustrie von Luk'Shi haben auch den modischen Ansturm auf den Planeten f\u00fcr ma\u00dfgeschneiderte Kleidung. Einige Gesch\u00e4fte haben sogar damit begonnen, ausgebildete Schneider anzubieten, die Xi'an-Mode modifizieren k\u00f6nnen, um schmeichelhafter in die menschliche Form zu passen.\n\nLIX\u0100UU (TAL IV)\nTal IV ist der am wenigsten besuchte bewohnbare Planet im System, und das aus gutem Grund. Hier befinden sich gro\u00dfe Verarbeitungsanlagen und Raffinerien. Wenn es hier keine Gesch\u00e4fte zu t\u00e4tigen gibt, ist es wahrscheinlich am besten, sie zu vermeiden.\n\nAuch wenn die Geb\u00e4ude von Lix\u0101uu gr\u00fcn ges\u00e4umt sind, ist dies ein Planet der Arbeiter durch und durch, mit Schleppern und Raffineriearbeitern, die einen Gro\u00dfteil der Bev\u00f6lkerung ausmachen. W\u00e4hrend die gehobene K\u00fcche auf L\u016bng'xyi oft den L\u00f6wenanteil des Lobes aus der kulinarischen Welt erh\u00e4lt, sagen diejenigen, die ein authentischeres Erlebnis suchen, dass es in den St\u00e4nden der Arbeiterklasse zu finden ist, die dick gestapelt au\u00dferhalb fast aller der zahlreichen Verarbeitungsbetriebe des Planeten liegen. Fast so allgegenw\u00e4rtig wie die St\u00e4nde selbst ist das warme, dicke fermentierte Getr\u00e4nk namens Yahlu, das die Arbeiter vor der Arbeit konsumieren.\n\nEin Wort der Warnung: Die Atmosph\u00e4re von Tal IV enth\u00e4lt zwar Spuren von S\u00e4ure, aber zum Gl\u00fcck reicht es nicht aus, Geb\u00e4ude, Schiffe oder Anwohner in der richtigen Kleidung zu sch\u00e4digen. Es war der Hauptgrund, warum die Xi'an hier die umweltsch\u00e4dlichsten Pflanzen platzierten, anstatt Industrien, die mehr Verkehr anziehen w\u00fcrden. Wenn Sie sich jedoch mitten in einem Regensturm auf dem Tal IV befinden, ist es wahrscheinlich am besten, fr\u00fcher als sp\u00e4ter Schutz zu suchen und zu vermeiden, dass der Niederschlag auf Ihre nackte Haut f\u00e4llt.\n\nRY\u014cL (TAL V)\nSag nie, dass es den Xi'an an Humor mangelt. Tal V, dessen Geb\u00e4ude eine leuchtend orangefarbene Farbe aufweisen, beherbergt einen hohen Prozentsatz an Industriekomplexen, die der Endverarbeitung von Waffen und Waffen gewidmet sind. Wenn man sich dem Planeten im richtigen Licht n\u00e4hert, sehen die Sonnenstrahlen, die von dem verbrannten Orange reflektiert werden, fast wie Energiewaffenexplosionen aus.\n\nViele Menschen haben sich auf die Suche nach fortschrittlichen Waffen f\u00fcr ihre pers\u00f6nliche oder Schiffsbewaffnung nach Ry\u014dl gemacht. Da die Xi'an \u00fcber einen Gro\u00dfteil ihrer Technologie noch geheimnisvoll sind, stehen den Besuchern der Menschheit nur bestimmte Teile des Planeten offen. Diese Gebiete verf\u00fcgen \u00fcber eine starke milit\u00e4rische Pr\u00e4senz in Xi'an, aber lassen Sie sich davon nicht abhalten, anzuhalten, um den neuesten Blaster zu kaufen. Von Reisenden wurde nur sehr wenig Gewalt oder Kriminalit\u00e4t berichtet. Dies ist zum Teil auf die Pr\u00e4valenz der bewaffneten Sicherheit zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren, aber auch darauf, dass die Regierung von Xi'an angesichts des Friedensvertrags bestrebt scheint, die Konfrontation mit den Menschen so weit wie m\u00f6glich zu vermeiden.\n\nCHUAITON (TAL VI)\nDieses ressourcenreiche Gestein, das nach seiner Entdeckung als unbewohnbar galt, war Teil des Grundes, warum die Xi'an ein Produktionssystem in Tal aufbauten. Jahrhunderte des Bergbaus haben Tal VI Berichten zufolge von bedeutenden Mengen an Ressourcen befreit, obwohl es schwierig sein kann, zu \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen, ob etwas von Wert f\u00fcr Sie \u00fcbrig bleibt, da das Milit\u00e4r von Xi'an den gesamten Verkehr, der sich dem Planeten n\u00e4hert, im Auge beh\u00e4lt. Dies hat die Menschen zu der Theorie gef\u00fchrt, dass in Tal VI mehr vor sich geht, als man denkt. Selbst im offensten Xi'an-System f\u00fcr den Menschen gibt es noch viele Geheimnisse.\n\nKYU'NAO (TAL VII)\nTal VII befindet sich im \u00e4u\u00dfersten Bereich des Tal-Systems und ist ein prismatischer Gasriese, der angeblich ein Spiegelbild der Planeten ist, \u00fcber die er wacht. Denn seine vier dicken, farbigen Streifen aus rollenden Wolken entsprechen den Farben, die den bewohnten Welten im System zugeordnet sind. Tal VII ist ein wunderbares Beispiel f\u00fcr die Harmonie und Symmetrie, in der die Xi'an-Kultur einen tiefen Wert legt, und ist eine geeignete Endstation f\u00fcr jeden Besucher, der das System besichtigt.\n\nIM WIND GEH\u00d6RT\n\"Sch\u00f6nheit, K\u00fchnheit und Gl\u00fcckseligkeit.

It is a distinctly Xi\u2019an approach to geoplanning that Humanity has slowly begun to embrace, specifically within the Stanton System. Tal offers another unique distinction; it is one of the few Xi\u2019an-controlled systems that openly welcomes Humans. As a major hub for industry and trade, many believe the Xi\u2019an encourage Humans to do business in Tal to keep them out of other parts of Xi\u2019an space.\n\nUEE diplomatic envoy Jameson Wallach was the first known Human to visit the Tal System. Following the Peace Treaty of 2789, the Xi\u2019an government disclosed to the UEE the existence of this system; prior to this revelation, Humans hadn\u2019t known it was there. Envoy Wallach\u2019s guided tour of the system was considered by many to be gesture of goodwill, though critics quickly dismissed it as a ploy of the Xi\u2019an. Visten Bana, one of the most outspoken critics of the treaty, claimed, \u201cthe Xi\u2019an are attempting to infiltrate the Empire, not with weapons or with armies, but through Credits. The new battlefield will not be our planets, but our economy.\u201d\n\nVisitors to any planet in the Tal System might need a few minutes for their eyes to adjust. The Xi\u2019an have assigned one specific color for each planet to incorporate into all its structures. Most first-time Human visitors find the view to be strange, spectacular and overwhelming all at once. After a number of accidents caused by disoriented Human pilots, the Tal landing zone authority now discourages people from manually landing their ships.\n\nThe uniqueness and strict organization of the planets does not end with their color-coding. Although the actual system is far more complex than a simple summary can provide, merchants should familiarize themselves with each planet\u2019s focus before visiting to avoid the embarrassment of attempting to make a deal in the wrong part of the system. Tal II makes large-scale space fabrication and ship manufacturing. Tal III deals with food and textiles. Tal IV processes ore and gases. Tal V handles the manufacturing of products, from building materials to weapons.\n\nThe system is in constant need of raw materials, particularly hydrogen and antimatter, to keep their supply chain cranking at full capacity. Bargain hunters and small-time haulers should make sure to crunch the numbers before spending the time and resources on a trip to Tal. However, keen traders can bring in raw materials to sell and leave with Xi\u2019an-made merchandise. With Xi\u2019an products growing in popularity around the UEE, merchants and haulers should not have too much trouble selling the unique Xi\u2019an goods found throughout the inhabited worlds of Tal.\n\nAs relations with the Xi\u2019an have warmed, tourism to the Tal System has seen a noticeable uptick. Explore It Tal!, a Goss-based travel company, specializes in organizing group trips to the Tal System for those hesitant about going unguided. It is perfect for those who want to experience an alien world without having to navigate the foreign customs alone.\n\nFor those brave enough to do it on their own, here are a few tips. Adventure seekers and explorers frequently visit Tal II and Tal V in search of the latest Xi\u2019an ship and weapons tech to give them an advantage over others in UEE space. Foodies and fashionistas flock to Tal III to sample Xi\u2019an food at its source and buy exotic textiles directly from manufacturers. Tal IV is recommended only for business visitors, due to the inherent dangers of its large antimatter production facilities.\n\nY.\u014cM\u2019E (TAL I)\nThis small planet sits too close to the system\u2019s sun to maintain life. It is pockmarked with craters from probes and mining missions that sought resources to be used by the rest of the system. As far as we know, nothing valuable was ever found and the Xi\u2019an left Tal I to bake eternally in the sun. All the heat radiating off the rocky planet makes it appear to shimmer and glow.\n\nOLI\u2019XA (TAL II)\nUpon visiting Tal II, famed musician Sindo Guerrero took inspiration from all the buildings being accented in yellow to write his record-breaking, chart-topping hit, \u201cSun Kissed.\u201d\n\nHome to large-scale space fabrications, Tal II is the technology hub of the system. The planet\u2019s factories pump out some of the most advanced ship parts in the \u2019verse. This mixture of industrial fabrication and high-end technology makes Tal II the system\u2019s busiest planet. The constant hum of machinery and the non-stop flow of workers hustling in and out of yellow buildings has earned Tall-II the nickname \u201cThe Hive\u201d among Human visitors.\n\nIt is not uncommon to see Humans living on Tal II, though to do so, one must have a valid work permit. Human corporations have also begun to seek out more stable opportunities in the system, with MISC having recently established a small branch office here that facilitates their agreement with the Xi\u2019an; it was the central development site of the cutting-edge avionics software used in their new Reliant line.\n\nFinally, do not forget to bring your sunglasses to help with the strong glare from the yellow-tinged architecture, but remember, please remove your sunglasses before interacting with the Xi\u2019an. In their culture, it is considered disrespectful to hide one\u2019s eyes when speaking.\n\nL\u016aNG\u2019XYI (TAL III)\nIf you are a first-time visitor to the Tal System, begin your visit on Tal III. Considered the cultural hub of the system, the residents are used to Human visitors and are very welcoming of tourists, more so than the typical Xi\u2019an world. In fact, many find the planet to be a perfect metaphor for the Xi\u2019an themselves. With most of the lush landscape covered in neat farms, the cities create a stark contrast to their natural surroundings, with their appointed color-scheme of violet popping brightly upon approach.\n\nAs a major manufacturer of food for the system, and possibly their entire empire, L\u016bng\u2019xyi is a must-stop for Xi\u2019an food enthusiasts. For those who have never tried the cuisine, be prepared for a sensation unlike any other. Some Xi\u2019an dishes uses flavorful spices that cause minor muscle spasms in the Human mouth. It is definitely not dangerous, but will just as definitely surprise those who are not expecting it. Humans may find the sensation weird and off-putting, but many believe it actually enhances the flavor of the food. Most restaurants will adjust the strength of the spices to the Human palette. Do not be afraid to politely inquire about the spice level of the food if the waiter does not bring it up. Just remember to do so before they begin preparing your dish.\n\nMeanwhile, the beautiful and fragrant countryside of L\u016bng\u2019xyi tempts Humans with a natural visual diversity that does not exists within its cities. Many visitors want to explore the countryside, but few actually do. The area is generally considered off-limits to foreigners unless one is given special permission and guided by a Xi\u2019an. Do not forget the brief diplomatic spat that occurred in 2890 when Prime resident Shinji Shapiro was detained after being found wandering the fields of Tal III alone.\n\nTal III\u2019s textile industry draws many of the UEE\u2019s top designers to the planet. Patterns and fabrics discovered here quickly find their way to runways on Terra and Earth before creating trends across the entire Empire. Certain discerning buyers even schedule travel to Tal III while major fashion shows occur in the UEE so that they will be in place once the hot new trend has been determined, to purchase as much of the in-vogue fabric or pattern as they can. The qualities of Luk\u2019Shi\u2019s garment industry also have the fashionable flocking to the planet for custom-made clothes. Some shops have even begun to offer trained tailors that can modify Xi\u2019an fashion to more flatteringly fit the Human form.\n\nLIX\u0100UU (TAL IV)\nTal IV is the least visited habitable planet in the system, and for good reason. It is home to major processing facilities and refineries. Unless there is business to be had here, it is probably best to avoid it.\n\nEven though Lix\u0101uu\u2019s building are lined in green, this is a blue-collar planet through and through, with haulers and refinery workers making up a majority of the population. While the upscale fare found on L\u016bng\u2019xyi often gets the lion\u2019s share of the praise from the culinary world, those who seek a more authentic experience say that it can be found in the working-class food stalls thickly stacked outside of almost all of the planet\u2019s numerous processing plants. Almost as ubiquitous as the stalls themselves is the warm, thick fermented drink called yahlu that the workers consume before work.\n\nA word of warning: Tal IV\u2019s atmosphere does contain traces amounts of acid, but thankfully it is not enough to harm buildings, ships or residents wearing the proper attire. It was the main reason the Xi\u2019an placed the more polluting plants here instead of industries that would draw more traffic. That said, if you find yourself on Tal IV in the midst of a rain storm, it is probably best to seek shelter sooner rather than later and to avoid getting the precipitation on your bare skin.\n\nRY\u014cL (TAL V)\nNever say that the Xi\u2019an lack a sense of humor. Tal V, whose buildings prominently feature a burnt orange color, houses a high percentage of industrial complexes dedicated to the end-stage processing of arms and weapons. If the planet is approached in just the right light, the sun\u2019s rays reflected off the burnt orange almost look like energy weapon blasts.\n\nMany Humans have made their way to Ry\u014dl in search of advanced weapons for their personal or ship armament. With the Xi\u2019an still secretive over much of their technology, only certain parts of the planet are open to Human visitors. These areas feature a heavy Xi\u2019an military presence, but do not let that dissuade you from stopping in to buy the latest blaster. Very little violence or crime has been reported by travelers. This is partially due to the prevalence of armed security but also because, in light of the peace treaty, the Xi\u2019an government seems eager to avoid confrontation with Humans as much as possible.\n\nCHUAITON (TAL VI)\nDeemed uninhabitable upon its discovery, this resource-rich rock was part of the reason the Xi\u2019an based a Production System in Tal. Centuries of mining have reportedly stripped Tal VI of significant amounts resources, though it may be difficult to check if anything of value is left for yourself since the Xi\u2019an military keeps a watchful eye over all traffic that nears the planet. This has led people to theorize that there is more going on in Tal VI than meets the eye. Even in the most open Xi\u2019an system to Humans, secrets still abound.\n\nKYU\u2019NAO (TAL VII)\nLocated in the farthest reaches of the Tal System, Tal VII is a prismatic gas giant that is said to be a reflection of the planets it watches over. This is because its four thick, colored bands of roiling clouds match the colors assigned to the inhabited worlds in the system. A wonderful example of the harmony and symmetry in which Xi\u2019an culture places deep value, Tal VII is a fitting last stop for any visitor\u2019s tour of the system.\n\nHEARD IN THE WIND\n\u201cBeauty, boldness and bliss. All exist on the world that\u2019s sun kissed.\u201d\n- Sindo Guerrero, \u201cSun Kissed\u201d\n\n\u201cYour entire mouth feels alive. Almost like something is crawling inside it. At first I was pretty sure I didn\u2019t like it, but a few days later, there I was back in the restaurant gulping it down again.\u201d\n- Chef Alicia Tan, Eating My Way"},"links_count":0,"comment_count":10,"created_at":"2018-03-14T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"8 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-05-07 23:25:51","valid_relations":["images","links"],"prev_id":16452,"next_id":16454}}
