For years, the prevailing belief was that the gravitational pull from a star combines with some yet-to-be identified circumstances to create these expressways through space. They looked for correlations between the type of star in a system, its number of jump points, and exactly where they appeared. Despite a wealth of theories on how a star\u2019s gravitational pull plays into jump point formation, there was no scientific consensus.\n\nThen the Min system was discovered, resetting most scientific thinking on the subject. The system has no star. It contains only a rogue gas giant with four orbiting moons.\n\nThe Dark System\nIn the pantheon of systems discovered by Humanity, Min is utterly unique due to its lack of a sun. Rumors that a \u201cdark system,\u201d devoid of light, existed in certain outlaw circles for years, but most believed it to be nothing but a tall tale. These tales propagated because Min\u2019s initial discovery was kept a secret for over two centuries.\n\nThat decision can be credited to the Hathor Group, which owned a majority of the system now known as Nexus between 2468 and 2672. They mined its planets until almost all resources were exhausted, while enforcing few laws, which resulted in the strong outlaw presence that exists in the system to this day. At some point in 2473, a Hathor-owned ship discovered a jump into the Min system from Nexus. Exactly who flew through this first jump is unknown, so the discovery simply remains credited to the Hathor Group.\n\nFor over two hundred years, knowledge of Min\u2019s existence remained a company secret. Historian Eaden Andres believes this secrecy was initially driven by a desire to keep the system\u2019s resources for themselves. Only a handful of years after paying an exorbitant price for access to the Nexus system\u2019s resources, Hathor executives worried about the bureaucratic nightmare and potential cost of accessing Min, if the UNE was informed of its existence.\n\nInstead, Hathor Group CEO Russell Gurney kept Min a closely guarded secret, even going so far as to create a covert division to chart, scan and assess the system\u2019s economic potential. (In an initial comm chain he stated that he wanted \u201cthe minimum number of people involved\u201d which is where the planet would derive its name.)\n\nWhen those numbers turned out to be underwhelming, the division was quietly disbanded in 2476. After that, most mentions of the system vanished from Hathor Group documentation, though some evidence suggests it was occasionally used as a dumping ground for toxic mining byproducts.\n\nBefore the Hathor Group relinquished control of Nexus in 2672, their internal archives suffered a massive hack. The coordinates to the Min jump point ended up among the vast stores of compromised data. According to historian Eaden Andres, rumors about the \u201cdark system\u201d began to circulate in criminal circles shortly thereafter.\n\nRogue in Vogue\nDespite whispers about Min\u2019s existence, decades would pass before the truth was discovered, and it wouldn\u2019t even be from its connection to Nexus. Instead, a second jump, to Ellis, had been located by outlaws. It wasn\u2019t until 2702, when the New United reported on an Advocacy sting of a ship smuggling ring, that Min finally became known to the wider UEE. The story became the basis for the blockbuster 2705 vid Unknown Origins, which dramatized how undercover Advocacy Agent Hiram Qureshi discovered that outlaws were using a jump point from Ellis to Min to get stolen ships out of the system.\n\nDirect access to a system that lacked a sun excited astronomers and fascinated the public. The UEE sent in their usual cadre of scientists and bureaucrats to investigate the system. Aside from the novelty, they determined that its lack of resource or habitable locations made it unworthy of claiming for the Empire.\n\nStill, once Min\u2019s jump coordinates were made available to the public, outlaws, who had been accessing Min for years, took advantage of the lack of law enforcement to ambush sightseers and researchers. Attacks become so prevalent that for years the UEE released travel advisories warning about the dangers of visiting Min. Still, Humanity has found a way to call this system home. A small settlement has sprung up on the system\u2019s second moon, proving once again that even in the face of extreme circumstances, Humanity still finds a way to survive.\n\nMin I\nWithout a sun, Min I is the center of the system. This gas giant is dominated by ammonia clouds that ominously glow against the faint light of distant stars. Experts wonder what caused this planet to be expelled from its original star system. They also debate whether the jump points are connected to the planet or tied to this area of space that the planet just happens to be \u2018passing by.\u2019 Scientists have yet to discover what it is that makes this planet special.\n\nMin 1a\nMin 1a is small, rocky moon. The Hathor Group\u2019s initial scans revealed that it contains trace amounts of marketable minerals. The cost of dispatching a team to retrieve them exceeded the potential profit and was quickly nixed. When the system was opened to the public, these pockets of minerals were targeted for excavation by small mining concerns.\n\nMin 1b\nSomehow life has found a way to survive on Min 1b despite its meager prospects. This rocky moon, the largest of the four, holds onto a thin atmosphere and stays unexpectedly warm thanks to the effect its eccentric orbit has on its atmosphere. Its surface is almost completely covered in vast oceans with countless hydrothermal vents in the seabed. These factors are enough to sustain a large community of bioluminescent bacteria. Their ghostly glow radiates up from the ocean floor, making for an almost surreal visual when combined with the stars in the black sky.\n\nIn 2816, a unique community, formed by a disparate combination of researchers, outlaws and survivalists, was established on the moon and it has remained occupied since. Its residents welcome any visitors willing to trade with them for the crops grown in their bacterial ocean farms. To learn more about the people who inhabit what must be the strangest human settlement in the universe, watch the exceptional 2921 docu-vid Sunless Souls.\n\nMin 1c\nLacking an atmosphere or many resources of note, Min 1c\u2019s two most defining characteristics are that it\u2019s the smallest moon in the system and that it has a sprawling cavern network beneath its surface.\n\nMin 1d\nAs Min\u2019s most distant moon, outlaws frequently use its massive impact craters to hide in and wait for the next unsuspecting ship to arrive.\n\nTRAVEL WARNING\nTravelers should prepare for the system\u2019s lack of security and amenities that are customary to claimed, secure UEE systems.\n\nHEARD IN THE WIND\n\u201cMin seemingly vanished from the minds of Hathor executives and goes unmentioned in internal documents for decades. Though some had marveled at the system\u2019s unusual astronomical make-up, it wasn\u2019t enough to make them care. To them, there was no profit to be had there.\u201d\n\u2013 Eaden Andres, The Crossroads of a Company and Criminals, 2881\n\n\u201cI\u2019m not runnin\u2019 from nothin\u2019. I\u2019ve been clear cross the universe, multiple times, and this is the place that stuck with me the most. Never seemed to have a good night\u2019s sleep until I got to Aleya. Don\u2019t know what it is, but something about this place just puts my soul at ease.\u201d\n\u2013 Bernie Holt, interview from Sunless Souls, 2921","de_DE":"Dieser Galaktische F\u00fchrer erschien urspr\u00fcnglich in Sprungpunkt 5.11.\nSeit Nick Croshaw zum ersten Mal einen Sprungpunkt erfolgreich durchquert hat, haben Wissenschaftler die Ph\u00e4nomene untersucht und theoretisiert, die solche Reisen zwischen den Systemen erm\u00f6glichen. Jahrelang herrschte der Glaube vor, dass die Anziehungskraft eines Sterns in Verbindung mit einigen noch zu identifizierenden Umst\u00e4nden diese Schnellstra\u00dfen durch das All schaffen. Sie suchten nach Korrelationen zwischen der Art des Sterns in einem System, der Anzahl der Sprungpunkte und der genauen Stelle, an der sie auftraten. Trotz einer F\u00fclle von Theorien dar\u00fcber, wie die Gravitationskraft eines Sterns in die Sprungpunktbildung einflie\u00dft, gab es keinen wissenschaftlichen Konsens.\n\nDann wurde das Min-System entdeckt, das die meisten wissenschaftlichen \u00dcberlegungen zu diesem Thema zur\u00fcckstellte. Das System hat keinen Stern. Es enth\u00e4lt nur einen abtr\u00fcnnigen Gasriesen mit vier umlaufenden Monden.\n\nDas dunkle System\nIn dem Pantheon der von der Menschheit entdeckten Systeme ist Min aufgrund des Fehlens einer Sonne v\u00f6llig einzigartig. Ger\u00fcchte, dass ein \"dunkles System\", ohne Licht, in bestimmten Gesetzlosenkreisen seit Jahren existierte, aber die meisten glaubten, es sei nichts weiter als eine L\u00fcgengeschichte. Diese M\u00e4rchen verbreiteten sich, weil Mins erste Entdeckung \u00fcber zwei Jahrhunderte lang geheim gehalten wurde.\n\nDiese Entscheidung kann der Hathor-Gruppe zugeschrieben werden, die zwischen 2468 und 2672 die Mehrheit des heute als Nexus bekannten Systems besa\u00df. Sie verminten seine Planeten, bis fast alle Ressourcen ersch\u00f6pft waren, w\u00e4hrend sie nur wenige Gesetze durchsetzten, was zu der starken Verbrecherpr\u00e4senz f\u00fchrte, die bis heute im System existiert. Irgendwann im Jahr 2473 entdeckte ein Schiff der Hathor einen Sprung von Nexus in das Min-System. Wer genau durch diesen ersten Sprung geflogen ist, ist unbekannt, so dass die Entdeckung einfach der Hathor-Gruppe zugeschrieben bleibt.\n\n\u00dcber zweihundert Jahre lang blieb das Wissen um Mins Existenz ein Firmengeheimnis. Der Historiker Eaden Andres glaubt, dass diese Geheimhaltung zun\u00e4chst von dem Wunsch getrieben war, die Ressourcen des Systems f\u00fcr sich selbst zu behalten. Nur wenige Jahre nachdem sie einen exorbitanten Preis f\u00fcr den Zugang zu den Ressourcen des Nexus-Systems bezahlt hatten, sorgten sich die F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4fte von Hathor um den b\u00fcrokratischen Alptraum und die m\u00f6glichen Kosten f\u00fcr den Zugang zu Min, wenn die UNE \u00fcber dessen Existenz informiert w\u00fcrde.\n\nStattdessen hielt der CEO der Hathor Group, Russell Gurney, Min ein streng geh\u00fctetes Geheimnis, er ging sogar so weit, eine verdeckte Abteilung zu schaffen, um das wirtschaftliche Potenzial des Systems zu erfassen, zu scannen und zu bewerten. (In einer anf\u00e4nglichen Kommunikationskette erkl\u00e4rte er, dass er \"die minimale Anzahl der beteiligten Personen\" haben wollte, von der der Planet seinen Namen ableiten w\u00fcrde).\n\nAls sich diese Zahlen als unterw\u00e4ltigend herausstellten, wurde die Abteilung im Jahre 2476 stillschweigend aufgel\u00f6st. Danach verschwanden die meisten Erw\u00e4hnungen des Systems aus den Unterlagen der Hathor-Gruppe, obwohl einige Hinweise darauf hindeuten, dass es gelegentlich als Deponie f\u00fcr toxische Bergbau-Nebenprodukte genutzt wurde.\n\nBevor die Hathor-Gruppe im Jahr 2672 die Kontrolle \u00fcber Nexus aufgab, erlitten ihre internen Archive einen massiven Hack. Die Koordinaten des Min-Sprungpunktes landeten unter den riesigen Speichern kompromittierter Daten. Laut dem Historiker Eaden Andres begannen kurz darauf in kriminellen Kreisen Ger\u00fcchte \u00fcber das \"dunkle System\" zu kursieren.\n\nDer Schurke in der Vogue\nTrotz des Fl\u00fcsterns \u00fcber Mins Existenz w\u00fcrden Jahrzehnte vergehen, bis die Wahrheit entdeckt w\u00fcrde, und es w\u00fcrde nicht einmal von seiner Verbindung zum Nexus kommen. Stattdessen war ein zweiter Sprung, zu Ellis, von Gesetzlosen entdeckt worden. Erst 2702, als die New United \u00fcber einen Advocacy-Stich eines Schiffsschmugglerrings berichtete, wurde Min schlie\u00dflich der breiteren UEE bekannt. Die Geschichte wurde zur Grundlage f\u00fcr den Blockbuster 2705 Vid Unknown Origins, der dramatisiert, wie der Undercover-Agent Hiram Qureshi entdeckte, dass Gesetzlose einen Sprungpunkt von Ellis zu Min benutzten, um gestohlene Schiffe aus dem System zu bekommen.\n\nDer direkte Zugang zu einem System, dem eine Sonne fehlte, begeisterte die Astronomen und faszinierte die \u00d6ffentlichkeit. Die UEE schickte ihren \u00fcblichen Kader von Wissenschaftlern und B\u00fcrokraten, um das System zu untersuchen. Abgesehen von der Neuheit stellten sie fest, dass der Mangel an Ressourcen oder bewohnbaren Orten es nicht wert war, f\u00fcr das Reich beansprucht zu werden.\n\nDennoch, nachdem Mins Sprungkoordinaten der \u00d6ffentlichkeit zug\u00e4nglich gemacht wurden, nutzten Gesetzlose, die seit Jahren auf Min zugriffen, den Mangel an Strafverfolgung aus, um Touristen und Forscher aus dem Hinterhalt anzugreifen. Die Angriffe werden so h\u00e4ufig, dass die UEE seit Jahren Reisehinweise ver\u00f6ffentlicht, die vor den Gefahren eines Besuchs von Min. Dennoch hat die Menschheit einen Weg gefunden, dieses System ihr Zuhause zu nennen. Auf dem zweiten Mond des Systems ist eine kleine Siedlung entstanden, die einmal mehr beweist, dass die Menschheit auch unter extremen Bedingungen einen Weg findet, um zu \u00fcberleben.\n\nMin I\nOhne eine Sonne ist Min I das Zentrum des Systems. Dieser Gasriese wird von Ammoniakwolken dominiert, die unheilvoll gegen das schwache Licht entfernter Sterne leuchten. Experten fragen sich, was die Ursache f\u00fcr die Vertreibung dieses Planeten aus seinem urspr\u00fcnglichen Sternensystem war. Sie debattieren auch, ob die Sprungpunkte mit dem Planeten verbunden sind oder an diesen Bereich des Raumes gebunden sind, an dem der Planet gerade vorbeifliegt\". Die Wissenschaftler m\u00fcssen erst noch herausfinden, was es ist, das diesen Planeten zu etwas Besonderem macht.\n\nMin. 1a\nMin. 1a ist ein kleiner, felsiger Mond. Die ersten Scans der Hathor-Gruppe ergaben, dass sie Spuren von marktg\u00e4ngigen Mineralien enth\u00e4lt. Die Kosten f\u00fcr die Entsendung eines Teams zur Abholung \u00fcberstiegen das Gewinnpotenzial und wurden schnell zunichte gemacht. Als das System f\u00fcr die \u00d6ffentlichkeit zug\u00e4nglich gemacht wurde, wurden diese Mineralienlagerst\u00e4tten von kleinen Bergbauunternehmen gezielt abgebaut.\n\nMin. 1b\nIrgendwie hat das Leben auf Min 1b trotz der kargen Aussichten einen Weg gefunden, um zu \u00fcberleben. Dieser felsige Mond, der gr\u00f6\u00dfte der vier, h\u00e4lt sich an einer d\u00fcnnen Atmosph\u00e4re fest und bleibt dank der Wirkung seiner exzentrischen Umlaufbahn auf seine Atmosph\u00e4re unerwartet warm. Seine Oberfl\u00e4che ist fast vollst\u00e4ndig von riesigen Ozeanen bedeckt, mit unz\u00e4hligen hydrothermalen \u00d6ffnungen im Meeresboden. Diese Faktoren reichen aus, um eine gro\u00dfe Gemeinschaft von biolumineszenten Bakterien zu erhalten. Ihr geisterhaftes Leuchten strahlt vom Meeresboden auf, was in Kombination mit den Sternen am schwarzen Himmel ein fast surreales Bild ergibt.\n\nIm Jahr 2816 wurde auf dem Mond eine einzigartige Gemeinschaft, die aus einer ungleichen Kombination von Forschern, Ge\u00e4chteten und \u00dcberlebensk\u00fcnstlern besteht, gegr\u00fcndet und ist seitdem besetzt. Seine Bewohner hei\u00dfen jeden Besucher willkommen, der mit ihnen gegen die in ihren bakteriellen Meeresfarmen angebauten Pflanzen tauschen m\u00f6chte. Um mehr \u00fcber die Menschen zu erfahren, die die wohl seltsamste menschliche Siedlung im Universum bewohnen, sehen Sie sich das au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnliche Doku-Vid 2921 Sonnenlose Seelen an.\n\nMin. 1c\nOhne eine Atmosph\u00e4re oder viele nennenswerte Ressourcen sind die beiden wichtigsten Merkmale von Min 1c, dass er der kleinste Mond im System ist und dass er ein ausgedehntes H\u00f6hlennetz unter seiner Oberfl\u00e4che hat.\n\nMin 1d\nAls Mins entferntester Mond nutzen die Gesetzlosen h\u00e4ufig seine massiven Einschlagskrater, um sich darin zu verstecken und auf das n\u00e4chste ahnungslose Schiff zu warten.\n\n\nREISE-WARNUNG\n\n\nReisende sollten sich auf die mangelnde Sicherheit des Systems und auf die Annehmlichkeiten vorbereiten, die bei beanspruchten, sicheren UEE-Systemen \u00fcblich sind.\n\n\nVOM WINDE VERWEHT\n\"Min ist scheinbar aus den K\u00f6pfen der Hathor-F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4fte verschwunden und bleibt jahrzehntelang in internen Dokumenten unerw\u00e4hnt. Obwohl einige \u00fcber die ungew\u00f6hnliche astronomische Zusammensetzung des Systems gestaunt hatten, war es nicht genug, um sie zu interessieren.
