A closely guarded military system, the Xi\u2019an have been extremely protective about allowing other species access. However, thanks to diplomatic efforts like the Human-Xi\u2019an Trade Initiative, the relationship between our two great Empires continues to improve. The hope is that in the coming years, we will see further loosening of travel restrictions allowing Humans to experience even more of the system\u2019s five worlds.\n\nOut of the Cold\nUEE military intelligence first learned of the Ail\u2019ka system late in the 27th century. A scattered combination of Xi\u2019an datacores salvaged from wrecks, extra-stellar remote drone scans, and questionable second-hand Banu accounts were used to infer the existence of a previously unknown jump point in Y\u0101\u2019mon (then known as the Hadur system, part of the Perry Line). Rumors of this new system were further substantiated during the 28th century when Navy reconnaissance ships began tracking heavy transport movement in the sector, leading the unknown system to be given the military designation \u201cBeehive.\u201d Plans were even drawn up in 2788 for \u201cOperation Bait Hive,\u201d where a small squadron would sneak into Hadur and construct an antimatter-minefield near the suspected jump point, but before the mission was launched, the Kr.\u0113 \u2013 Akari Peace Accord was brokered putting an effective stop to hostilities.\n\nNot long after, in 2793, the Perry Line pact was ratified granting control of Hadur to the Xi\u2019an and effectively cutting off Humanity\u2019s access to both it and its connecting systems. At first, with formal spying efforts significantly curtailed in the name of peace, the flow of information all but dried up, but over the next century, as relations continued to improve and more Human and Xi\u2019an traders had dealings with each other, additional facts emerged \u2013 the Xi\u2019an called the system Ail\u2019ka, it had served as their military command center during the cold war connecting not only to Hadur but also to Indra, it continued to host a significant martial force, and it had a blue class-B star at its heart. While this helped to provide a broad overview of Ail\u2019ka, it would not be until 2915 when the Xi\u2019an formally invited Humans to visit the system that the full picture began to come into focus.\n\nTesting the Waters\nThe first Humans to visit the system were brought there on the behest of Xi\u2019an ship manufacturer Aopoa. After receiving special dispensation from Emperor Kr.\u0113, the manufacturer recruited ten pilots to assist in testing their Human-modified Khartu-al. For two years, the pilots lived and worked from Aopoa\u2019s headquarters on Ail\u2019ka IV helping to refine the first spacecraft the Xi\u2019an would produce specifically for sale in the UEE.\n\nAs told by one pilot, Magnolia Lizardo, in her book, Blue Dawn, they were constantly guarded the whole time they were there, and outside of strict test flight conditions, were only allowed to travel the system on sanctioned tours and under close escort. Even so, their first hand accounts of living on a military Xi\u2019an world would provide a deeper understanding of what the day to day life of Xi\u2019an soldiers is like.\n\nFor the Xi\u2019an, military service is compulsory with every young adult required to temporarily forgo their house name and dedicate themselves to serving the Emperor. Teeming with youth away from their family-lines for the first time, Ail\u2019ka has been described by some as a cross between the universities in Rhetor and the training facilities in Kilian. The entire system, from the training grounds and manufacturing plants on Ail\u2019ka IV all the way out to the harvesters on Ail\u2019ka V, is designated for empiratic use. In fact, it should come as no surprise that the unofficial language of the system is the Xi\u2019an\u2019s military dialect.\n\nIn addition, Ail\u2019ka is home to the largest Xi\u2019an fleet that the UEE is currently aware of. It is believed that all the forces that had been deployed along the Perry Line were withdrawn here and since that time, manufacturing plants have been steadily growing the number of ships present. Strategists continue to debate what percentage of the Xi\u2019an overall fighting capability does this sizeable force represent. Whatever the answer, the strength shown here is definitely enough to give any Legatus serious pause about what would have happened if Human\/Xi\u2019an tensions ever erupted into full-blown war. Which some say was part of the reason the Xi\u2019an granted Humans access in the first place.\n\nXyeping (Ail\u2019ka I)\nThe innermost world in the system, this small rocky protoplanet is isolated from the rest of Ail\u2019ka thanks to the nearby asteroid belt. Even without that barrier, few would want to visit Xyeping. The massive, rapidly spinning star looms large overhead, baking the surface of the protoplanet and bombarding it with flares of helium.\n\nHuichuai\u2019yath (Ail\u2019ka Belt Alpha)\nIt is not uncommon for Xi\u2019an pilots trained in the fighter academies on nearby Ail\u2019ka IV to cut their teeth here, engaging in extensive war-games among the swarm of orbiting asteroids. It is rumored that only one in a hundred Xi\u2019an are able to make it through the rigorous exercise to become a full military pilot. Aopoa also uses this field to conduct many of their test flights, utilizing the erratic spin of the asteroids here as a proving ground for their ship\u2019s agility.\n\nK\u2019ya.k\u2019uing (Ail\u2019ka II)\nThis barren and rocky world has been declared completely off-limits to all Humans. However, scans taken in the area have shown heavy gunfire coming from the surface leading some to surmise that this world may be used for training elite Xi\u2019an forces in planetary combat, not unlike the UEE\u2019s use of Corin.\n\nYe\u2019ten (Ail\u2019ka III)\nTerraformed specifically for optimal agricultural conditions, all available arable land is being used for the cultivation of numerous staple crops. Access to the planet is extremely well-guarded, with all extra-planetary traffic directed to a single hermetically-sealed enclosure in order to prevent contamination of the crops from off-world visitors. It seems that these extra precautions are in place to preserve the farms and fermentation silos here as a strategic resource reserve to ensure that their forces can be self-sufficient and remain fed in case of war or other catastrophe. With the extremely long shelf life of Xi\u2019an fermented food, it is estimated that there is years if not decades worth of rations being stored here.\n\nSome visitors to the system have noted that the agricultural structures on Ye\u2019ten are significantly older than the military constructions elsewhere in the system. This has lead many to speculate that Ail\u2019ka was not always a military system, but rather was re-purposed after hostilities with the UEE began due to its proximity to the border.\n\nM.iiy\u2019ong (Ail\u2019ka IV)\nIf there is anywhere deserving of the UEE\u2019s original designation for the system, \u201cBeehive,\u201d it is here on M.iiy\u2019ong. As the military headquarters of Ail\u2019ka, the planet is a constant whirlwind of activity with transport ships delivering personnel and supplies around the clock. For the most part, each half of the world is dedicated to serve a particular function. The northern hemisphere is believed to contain training compounds, command bureaus, and intelligence facilities. This is mostly speculation as the area has been off limits, with all visitors being restricted to the southern hemisphere where massive manufacturing plants dot the surface.\n\nWorking directly with the military to deliver to soldiers the latest vehicles and armaments, many of the top Xi\u2019an transportation, armor and weapon manufacturers operate from M.iiy\u2019ong including ship manufacturer Aopoa. Most visitors to the system are typically heading to Aopoa\u2019s headquarters where any number of Human test pilots, engineers, press agents, and more are working on the next release of Human-converted ships like the Khartu-al, Nox, and San\u2019tok.y\u0101i.\n\nOutside the factory, the \u2018dust halls\u2019 near the shipping yards are notorious for the soldiers who visit them looking to relax and blow off some steam. These combination taverns and spas can be quite busy near the end of a cycle, so it is recommended that Humans wishing to experience it for themselves visit during off-peak times.\n\nHuichuai\u2019syen (Ail\u2019ka Belt Beta)\nThis mineral rich belt is being actively mined by the Xi\u2019an military. Rather than stripping the belt of its resources as quickly as possible, the preferred strategy seems to be only excavating what is actively needed for production at the time allowing the belt to serve as a natural vault for the valuable assets until they are needed.\n\nYe\u2019ton (Ail\u2019Ka V)\nHarvesters and refineries orbit this gas dwarf, producing the huge amounts of fuel needed for the large fleet stationed here. Analysis of the world\u2019s unique weather patterns have led some climatologists to theorize that the Xi\u2019an might have used terraforming-esque technology to create stable storms that would aid in gas collection. Xi\u2019an officials have not yet commented on this theory, but some Human companies have begun researching the feasibility of similar plans.\n\nTRAVEL WARNING\nThe military will stop all ships entering the system to see if they have approved clearance. It is strongly recommended that travelers apply for clearance in Y\u0101\u2019mon or Kyuk\u2019ya before traversing the jump point or else risk being detained.\n\nHEARD IN THE WIND\n\u201cWith the flow of carriers observed in to and out of the sector, Lt. Golightly is positive that there must be a jump point somewhere in the vicinity. It is the only way that the beehive of Xi\u2019an activity swarming there can be logically explained.\u201d\n\u2013 Unclassified Hadur Field Report, 2698\n\n\n\n\u201cTo this day, I will never forget my first steps onto a Xi\u2019an world. Beyond the organization of the cities themselves, the very planet seemed to be driven by purpose. Each river or tree specifically designed for some greater good.\u201d\n- Magnolia Lizardo, Blue Dawn, 2926","de_DE":"Galaktischer Leitfaden: Ail'ka System\n\nDas Ail'ka-System war formal als Ayr'ka bekannt, wurde aber aktualisiert, um das moderne Verst\u00e4ndnis der Xi'an-Sprache wiederzugeben.\nEs ist etwas mehr als drei Jahrzehnte her, seit die Menschen zum ersten Mal nach Ail'ka eingeladen wurden, und obwohl wir in diesen Jahren viel gelernt haben, bleiben viele Geheimnisse erhalten. Ein streng bewachtes milit\u00e4risches System, die Xi'an, sind extrem gesch\u00fctzt, um anderen Arten den Zugang zu erm\u00f6glichen. Dank diplomatischer Bem\u00fchungen wie der Human-Xi'an Handelsinitiative verbessert sich die Beziehung zwischen unseren beiden gro\u00dfen Imperien jedoch weiter, so dass wir hoffen, dass wir in den kommenden Jahren eine weitere Lockerung der Reisebeschr\u00e4nkungen erleben werden, die es den Menschen erm\u00f6glicht, noch mehr von den f\u00fcnf Welten des Systems zu erleben.\n\nAus der K\u00e4lte\nDer milit\u00e4rische Geheimdienst der UEE erfuhr erstmals Ende des 27. Jahrhunderts vom Ail'ka-System. Eine verstreute Kombination von Xi'an-Datenspeichern, die aus Wracks geborgen wurden, extra-stellaren Drohnenscans und fragw\u00fcrdigen gebrauchten Banu-Konten wurde verwendet, um die Existenz eines bisher unbekannten Sprungpunktes auf Y\u0101'mon (damals bekannt als das Hadur-System, Teil der Perry-Linie) zu schlie\u00dfen. Ger\u00fcchte \u00fcber dieses neue System wurden im 28. Jahrhundert weiter untermauert, als die Aufkl\u00e4rungsschiffe der Marine begannen, schwere Transportbewegungen in diesem Sektor zu verfolgen, so dass das unbekannte System die milit\u00e4rische Bezeichnung \"Bienenstock\" erhielt. 2788 wurden sogar Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr die \"Operation Bait Hive\" ausgearbeitet, bei der sich eine kleine Staffel in Hadur einschlich und ein Antimaterie-Minenfeld in der N\u00e4he des vermuteten Sprungbrettes baute, aber bevor die Mission gestartet wurde, wurde das Kr.\u0113 - Akari Peace Accord vermittelt, das die Feindseligkeiten wirksam unterbindet.\n\nKurz darauf, 2793, wurde der Perry-Line-Pakt ratifiziert, der die Kontrolle \u00fcber Hadur an die Xi'an \u00fcbertr\u00e4gt und den Zugang der Menschheit zu ihm und seinen Verbindungssystemen effektiv unterbindet. Zuerst mit formalen Spionagebem\u00fchungen, die im Namen des Friedens erheblich eingeschr\u00e4nkt wurden, trocknete der Informationsfluss fast aus, aber im Laufe des n\u00e4chsten Jahrhunderts, als sich die Beziehungen weiter verbesserten und mehr Menschen und Xi'an-H\u00e4ndler miteinander in Kontakt kamen, tauchten zus\u00e4tzliche Fakten auf - das Xi'an nannte das System Ail'ka, es diente als milit\u00e4rische Kommandozentrale w\u00e4hrend des Kalten Krieges, der nicht nur Hadur, sondern auch Indra verband, es beherbergte weiterhin eine bedeutende Kampfkraft, und es hatte einen blauen Klasse-B Stern im Herzen. Dies trug zwar dazu bei, einen breiten \u00dcberblick \u00fcber Ail'ka zu geben, aber erst 2915, als die Xi'an die Menschen offiziell zum Besuch einluden, begann das System, das Gesamtbild in den Fokus zu r\u00fccken.\n\nPr\u00fcfung der Gew\u00e4sser\nDie ersten Menschen, die das System besuchten, wurden auf Gehei\u00df des Xi'an-Schiffbauers Aopoa dorthin gebracht. Nachdem der Hersteller von Kaiser Kr.\u0113 eine Sondergenehmigung erhalten hatte, stellte er zehn Piloten ein, die ihm beim Testen seines vom Menschen modifizierten Khartu-al helfen sollten. Zwei Jahre lang lebten und arbeiteten die Piloten vom Hauptsitz von Aopoa auf Ail'ka IV aus und halfen bei der Weiterentwicklung des ersten Raumschiffs, das die Xi'an speziell f\u00fcr den Verkauf in der UEE produzieren w\u00fcrde.\n\nWie eine Pilotin, Magnolia Lizardo, in ihrem Buch Blue Dawn sagte, standen sie die ganze Zeit unter st\u00e4ndiger Bewachung, und au\u00dferhalb der strengen Testflugbedingungen durften sie das System nur auf genehmigten Touren und unter enger Begleitung befahren. Dennoch w\u00fcrden ihre Berichte aus erster Hand \u00fcber das Leben in einer milit\u00e4rischen Xi'an-Welt ein tieferes Verst\u00e4ndnis daf\u00fcr vermitteln, wie der Alltag der Xi'an-Soldaten aussieht.\n\nF\u00fcr die Xi'an ist der Milit\u00e4rdienst obligatorisch, wobei jeder junge Erwachsene verpflichtet ist, vor\u00fcbergehend auf seinen Hausnamen zu verzichten und sich dem Dienst am Kaiser zu widmen. Ail'ka, das zum ersten Mal von Jugendlichen abseits ihrer Familienlinien wimmelt, wurde von einigen als eine Mischung aus den Universit\u00e4ten in Rhetor und den Ausbildungseinrichtungen in Kilian beschrieben. Das gesamte System, von den Trainingseinrichtungen und Produktionsanlagen auf Ail'ka IV bis hin zu den Erntemaschinen auf Ail'ka V, ist f\u00fcr den empirischen Einsatz vorgesehen. Tats\u00e4chlich sollte es nicht \u00fcberraschen, dass die inoffizielle Sprache des Systems der Milit\u00e4rdialekt des Xi'an ist.\n\nDar\u00fcber hinaus beherbergt Ail'ka die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Xi'an-Flotte, die der UEE derzeit bekannt ist. Es wird angenommen, dass alle entlang der Perry-Linie stationierten Streitkr\u00e4fte abgezogen wurden und seither nur noch die Zahl der vorhandenen Schiffe stetig zunimmt. Strategen diskutieren weiterhin dar\u00fcber, welchen Prozentsatz der gesamten Kampfkraft von Xi'an diese betr\u00e4chtliche Kraft ausmacht. Was auch immer die Antwort ist, die hier gezeigte St\u00e4rke ist definitiv genug, um jedem Legaten eine ernsthafte Pause dar\u00fcber zu geben, was passiert w\u00e4re, wenn die Spannungen zwischen Mensch und Xi'an jemals in einen ausgewachsenen Krieg ausbrechen w\u00fcrden. Was einige sagen, war ein Teil des Grundes, warum das Xi'an den Menschen \u00fcberhaupt Zugang gew\u00e4hrte.\n\nXyeping (Ail'ka I)\nDie innerste Welt des Systems, dieser kleine felsige Protoplanet, ist vom Rest von Ail'ka durch den nahegelegenen Asteroideng\u00fcrtel isoliert. Auch ohne diese Barriere w\u00fcrden nur wenige Xyeping besuchen wollen. Der massive, sich schnell drehende Stern ragt \u00fcber uns hinweg, backt die Oberfl\u00e4che des Protoplaneten und bombardiert ihn mit Heliumflimmern.\n\nHuichuai'yath (Ail'ka Belt Alpha)\nEs ist nicht ungew\u00f6hnlich, dass Xi'an-Piloten, die in den Kampfakademien auf der nahegelegenen Ail'ka IV ausgebildet wurden, sich hier die Z\u00e4hne einschneiden und umfangreiche Kriegsspiele im Schwarm der umkreisenden Asteroiden f\u00fchren. Es wird gemunkelt, dass nur einer von hundert Xi'an in der Lage ist, die strenge \u00dcbung zu \u00fcberstehen, um ein vollwertiger Milit\u00e4rpilot zu werden. Aopoa nutzt dieses Feld auch f\u00fcr viele ihrer Testfl\u00fcge und nutzt den unregelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Spin der Asteroiden hier als Testgel\u00e4nde f\u00fcr die Agilit\u00e4t ihres Schiffes.\n\nK'ya.k'uing (Ail'ka II)\nDiese \u00f6de und felsige Welt wurde allen Menschen f\u00fcr v\u00f6llig verboten erkl\u00e4rt. Jedoch haben Scans, die in dem Gebiet gemacht wurden, gezeigt, dass schwere Kanonenfeuer von der Oberfl\u00e4che kommen, was einige zu der Annahme veranlasst, dass diese Welt f\u00fcr die Ausbildung von Elitetruppen Xi'an im planetarischen Kampf verwendet werden kann, nicht anders als die Verwendung von Corin durch die UEE.\n\nYe'ten (Ail'ka III)\nSpeziell f\u00fcr optimale landwirtschaftliche Bedingungen angelegt, werden alle verf\u00fcgbaren Ackerfl\u00e4chen f\u00fcr den Anbau zahlreicher Grundnahrungsmittel genutzt. Der Zugang zum Planeten ist \u00e4u\u00dferst gut bewacht und der gesamte extraplanetarische Verkehr f\u00fchrt zu einem einzigen hermetisch abgeschlossenen Raum, um eine Kontamination der Pflanzen durch Besucher au\u00dferhalb der Welt zu verhindern. Es scheint, dass diese zus\u00e4tzlichen Vorkehrungen getroffen wurden, um die Farmen und G\u00e4rsilos hier als strategische Ressourcenreserve zu erhalten, um sicherzustellen, dass ihre Streitkr\u00e4fte autark sein k\u00f6nnen und im Falle eines Krieges oder einer anderen Katastrophe versorgt bleiben. Aufgrund der extrem langen Haltbarkeit von Xi'an fermentierten Lebensmitteln wird gesch\u00e4tzt, dass hier jahrelange, wenn nicht jahrzehntelange Rationen gelagert werden.\n\nEinige Besucher des Systems haben festgestellt, dass die Agrarstrukturen auf Ye'ten deutlich \u00e4lter sind als die milit\u00e4rischen Konstruktionen an anderer Stelle im System. Dies hat viele dazu veranlasst, zu spekulieren, dass Ail'ka nicht immer ein milit\u00e4risches System war, sondern erst nach Beginn der Feindseligkeiten mit der UEE aufgrund ihrer N\u00e4he zur Grenze neu eingesetzt wurde.\n\nM.iiy'ong (Ail'ka IV)\nWenn es irgendwo etwas gibt, das die urspr\u00fcngliche Bezeichnung der UEE f\u00fcr das System, \"Bienenstock\", verdient, dann ist es hier auf M.iiy'ong. Als milit\u00e4risches Hauptquartier von Ail'ka ist der Planet ein st\u00e4ndiger Wirbelwind der Aktivit\u00e4t mit Transportschiffen, die rund um die Uhr Personal und Vorr\u00e4te liefern. In den meisten F\u00e4llen ist jede H\u00e4lfte der Welt einer bestimmten Funktion gewidmet. Es wird angenommen, dass die n\u00f6rdliche Hemisph\u00e4re Trainingsanlagen, F\u00fchrungsb\u00fcros und Geheimdienste enth\u00e4lt. Dies ist vor allem Spekulation, da das Gebiet tabu war, wobei sich alle Besucher auf die s\u00fcdliche Hemisph\u00e4re beschr\u00e4nken, wo massive Produktionsanlagen die Oberfl\u00e4che bedecken.\n\nIn direkter Zusammenarbeit mit dem Milit\u00e4r, um den Soldaten die neuesten Fahrzeuge und R\u00fcstungen zu liefern, arbeiten viele der f\u00fchrenden Xi'an-Fahrzeug-, R\u00fcstungs- und Waffenhersteller von M.iiy'ong aus, darunter auch der Schiffbauer Aopoa. Die meisten Besucher des Systems fahren typischerweise zum Hauptsitz von Aopoa, wo eine beliebige Anzahl von Human-Testpiloten, Ingenieuren, Presseagenten und anderen an der n\u00e4chsten Version von von Human-konvertierten Schiffen wie der Khartu-al, Nox und San'tok.y\u0101i arbeiten.\n\nAu\u00dferhalb der Fabrik sind die \"Staubhallen\" in der N\u00e4he der Schiffswerften ber\u00fcchtigt f\u00fcr die Soldaten, die sie besuchen und sich entspannen und etwas Dampf ablassen wollen. Diese kombinierten Tavernen und Spas k\u00f6nnen gegen Ende des Zyklus sehr belebt sein, daher wird empfohlen, dass Menschen, die es selbst erleben m\u00f6chten, es w\u00e4hrend der Nebensaison besuchen.\n\nHuichuai'syen (Ail'ka G\u00fcrtel Beta)\nDieser mineralreiche G\u00fcrtel wird aktiv vom Milit\u00e4r von Xi'an abgebaut. Anstatt das Band so schnell wie m\u00f6glich von seinen Ressourcen zu befreien, scheint die bevorzugte Strategie nur das zu graben, was f\u00fcr die damalige Produktion aktiv ben\u00f6tigt wird, so dass das Band als nat\u00fcrliches Gew\u00f6lbe f\u00fcr die wertvollen Verm\u00f6genswerte dient, bis sie ben\u00f6tigt werden.\n\nYe'ton (Ail'Ka V)\nErntemaschinen und Raffinerien umkreisen diesen Gaszwerg und produzieren die riesigen Mengen an Treibstoff, die f\u00fcr die hier stationierte gro\u00dfe Flotte ben\u00f6tigt werden. Die Analyse der einzigartigen Wettermuster der Welt hat einige Klimatologen zu der Annahme veranlasst, dass die Xi'an die Terraforming-equipe Technologie verwenden k\u00f6nnten, um stabile St\u00fcrme zu erzeugen, die die Gassammlung unterst\u00fctzen w\u00fcrden. Xi'an Beamte haben diese Theorie noch nicht kommentiert, aber einige menschliche Unternehmen haben begonnen, die Machbarkeit \u00e4hnlicher Pl\u00e4ne zu untersuchen.\n\nREISEWARNUNG\nDas Milit\u00e4r wird alle Schiffe stoppen, die in das System eindringen, um zu sehen, ob sie die Freigabe genehmigt haben. Es wird dringend empfohlen, dass Reisende vor dem \u00dcberqueren des Sprungpunktes eine Freigabe unter Y\u0101'mon oder Kyuk'ya beantragen, da sonst die Gefahr besteht, dass sie festgehalten werden.\n\nIM WIND GEH\u00d6RT\n\"Mit dem Fluss von Tr\u00e4gern, die in den und aus dem Sektor beobachtet werden, ist Lt. Golightly zuversichtlich, dass es irgendwo in der N\u00e4he einen Sprungpunkt geben muss.

While this helped to provide a broad overview of Ail\u2019ka, it would not be until 2915 when the Xi\u2019an formally invited Humans to visit the system that the full picture began to come into focus.\n\nTesting the Waters\nThe first Humans to visit the system were brought there on the behest of Xi\u2019an ship manufacturer Aopoa. After receiving special dispensation from Emperor Kr.\u0113, the manufacturer recruited ten pilots to assist in testing their Human-modified Khartu-al. For two years, the pilots lived and worked from Aopoa\u2019s headquarters on Ail\u2019ka IV helping to refine the first spacecraft the Xi\u2019an would produce specifically for sale in the UEE.\n\nAs told by one pilot, Magnolia Lizardo, in her book, Blue Dawn, they were constantly guarded the whole time they were there, and outside of strict test flight conditions, were only allowed to travel the system on sanctioned tours and under close escort. Even so, their first hand accounts of living on a military Xi\u2019an world would provide a deeper understanding of what the day to day life of Xi\u2019an soldiers is like.\n\nFor the Xi\u2019an, military service is compulsory with every young adult required to temporarily forgo their house name and dedicate themselves to serving the Emperor. Teeming with youth away from their family-lines for the first time, Ail\u2019ka has been described by some as a cross between the universities in Rhetor and the training facilities in Kilian. The entire system, from the training grounds and manufacturing plants on Ail\u2019ka IV all the way out to the harvesters on Ail\u2019ka V, is designated for empiratic use. In fact, it should come as no surprise that the unofficial language of the system is the Xi\u2019an\u2019s military dialect.\n\nIn addition, Ail\u2019ka is home to the largest Xi\u2019an fleet that the UEE is currently aware of. It is believed that all the forces that had been deployed along the Perry Line were withdrawn here and since that time, manufacturing plants have been steadily growing the number of ships present. Strategists continue to debate what percentage of the Xi\u2019an overall fighting capability does this sizeable force represent. Whatever the answer, the strength shown here is definitely enough to give any Legatus serious pause about what would have happened if Human\/Xi\u2019an tensions ever erupted into full-blown war. Which some say was part of the reason the Xi\u2019an granted Humans access in the first place.\n\nXyeping (Ail\u2019ka I)\nThe innermost world in the system, this small rocky protoplanet is isolated from the rest of Ail\u2019ka thanks to the nearby asteroid belt. Even without that barrier, few would want to visit Xyeping. The massive, rapidly spinning star looms large overhead, baking the surface of the protoplanet and bombarding it with flares of helium.\n\nHuichuai\u2019yath (Ail\u2019ka Belt Alpha)\nIt is not uncommon for Xi\u2019an pilots trained in the fighter academies on nearby Ail\u2019ka IV to cut their teeth here, engaging in extensive war-games among the swarm of orbiting asteroids. It is rumored that only one in a hundred Xi\u2019an are able to make it through the rigorous exercise to become a full military pilot. Aopoa also uses this field to conduct many of their test flights, utilizing the erratic spin of the asteroids here as a proving ground for their ship\u2019s agility.\n\nK\u2019ya.k\u2019uing (Ail\u2019ka II)\nThis barren and rocky world has been declared completely off-limits to all Humans. However, scans taken in the area have shown heavy gunfire coming from the surface leading some to surmise that this world may be used for training elite Xi\u2019an forces in planetary combat, not unlike the UEE\u2019s use of Corin.\n\nYe\u2019ten (Ail\u2019ka III)\nTerraformed specifically for optimal agricultural conditions, all available arable land is being used for the cultivation of numerous staple crops. Access to the planet is extremely well-guarded, with all extra-planetary traffic directed to a single hermetically-sealed enclosure in order to prevent contamination of the crops from off-world visitors. It seems that these extra precautions are in place to preserve the farms and fermentation silos here as a strategic resource reserve to ensure that their forces can be self-sufficient and remain fed in case of war or other catastrophe. With the extremely long shelf life of Xi\u2019an fermented food, it is estimated that there is years if not decades worth of rations being stored here.\n\nSome visitors to the system have noted that the agricultural structures on Ye\u2019ten are significantly older than the military constructions elsewhere in the system. This has lead many to speculate that Ail\u2019ka was not always a military system, but rather was re-purposed after hostilities with the UEE began due to its proximity to the border.\n\nM.iiy\u2019ong (Ail\u2019ka IV)\nIf there is anywhere deserving of the UEE\u2019s original designation for the system, \u201cBeehive,\u201d it is here on M.iiy\u2019ong. As the military headquarters of Ail\u2019ka, the planet is a constant whirlwind of activity with transport ships delivering personnel and supplies around the clock. For the most part, each half of the world is dedicated to serve a particular function. The northern hemisphere is believed to contain training compounds, command bureaus, and intelligence facilities. This is mostly speculation as the area has been off limits, with all visitors being restricted to the southern hemisphere where massive manufacturing plants dot the surface.\n\nWorking directly with the military to deliver to soldiers the latest vehicles and armaments, many of the top Xi\u2019an transportation, armor and weapon manufacturers operate from M.iiy\u2019ong including ship manufacturer Aopoa. Most visitors to the system are typically heading to Aopoa\u2019s headquarters where any number of Human test pilots, engineers, press agents, and more are working on the next release of Human-converted ships like the Khartu-al, Nox, and San\u2019tok.y\u0101i.\n\nOutside the factory, the \u2018dust halls\u2019 near the shipping yards are notorious for the soldiers who visit them looking to relax and blow off some steam. These combination taverns and spas can be quite busy near the end of a cycle, so it is recommended that Humans wishing to experience it for themselves visit during off-peak times.\n\nHuichuai\u2019syen (Ail\u2019ka Belt Beta)\nThis mineral rich belt is being actively mined by the Xi\u2019an military. Rather than stripping the belt of its resources as quickly as possible, the preferred strategy seems to be only excavating what is actively needed for production at the time allowing the belt to serve as a natural vault for the valuable assets until they are needed.\n\nYe\u2019ton (Ail\u2019Ka V)\nHarvesters and refineries orbit this gas dwarf, producing the huge amounts of fuel needed for the large fleet stationed here. Analysis of the world\u2019s unique weather patterns have led some climatologists to theorize that the Xi\u2019an might have used terraforming-esque technology to create stable storms that would aid in gas collection. Xi\u2019an officials have not yet commented on this theory, but some Human companies have begun researching the feasibility of similar plans.\n\nTRAVEL WARNING\nThe military will stop all ships entering the system to see if they have approved clearance. It is strongly recommended that travelers apply for clearance in Y\u0101\u2019mon or Kyuk\u2019ya before traversing the jump point or else risk being detained.\n\nHEARD IN THE WIND\n\u201cWith the flow of carriers observed in to and out of the sector, Lt. Golightly is positive that there must be a jump point somewhere in the vicinity. It is the only way that the beehive of Xi\u2019an activity swarming there can be logically explained.\u201d\n\u2013 Unclassified Hadur Field Report, 2698\n\n\n\n\u201cTo this day, I will never forget my first steps onto a Xi\u2019an world. Beyond the organization of the cities themselves, the very planet seemed to be driven by purpose. Each river or tree specifically designed for some greater good.\u201d\n- Magnolia Lizardo, Blue Dawn, 2926"},"links_count":0,"comment_count":23,"created_at":"2020-06-17T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"5 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-05-07 22:43:56","valid_relations":["images","links"],"prev_id":16845,"next_id":16849}}
