We\u2019ve done a deep dive through the lore Ask A Dev section and selected ten questions to answer about the Star Citizen universe. Questions were edited for context and clarity but you can click on the topic to go directly to the original post and join the conversation. Also, the Narrative team does one installment of Loremakers: Community Questions every quarter with the next entry scheduled for Tuesday, September 19th, so please join the discussion and drop any questions you might have about the universe in our Ask A Dev forum.\n\nWhat Happened to Laylani Addison?\nQuestion: Ever since Laylani got elected as Imperator we haven't heard much about her. What happened?\n\nAnswer: Several lore pieces have touched upon Laylani Addison's successes and failures as Imperator. Some of these details were revealed in articles about other subjects so the lore could track her affect on the UEE without each piece focusing on her. Here\u2019s a collection of articles tracking Imperator Addison's impact on the empire so far.\n\nElected to the position in 2950 and inaugurated in early 2951, Imperator Addison faced scrutiny from the very beginning from those who wondered how she even managed to rise to power, while others questioned how she would be able to govern as an independent. So far, her biggest political win has been declassifying regen technology and working with the Senate to make it widely available. She's also worked on her campaign promise to loosen AI restrictions by drafting the Better Act Together legislation, which would officially allow the government to fund its research. That legislation is currently stalled in the Senate though, as the working relationship between the two branches of government has soured. The Senate also rejected Imperator Addison's nomination of Nyahuoa\u014dng T.yi to be the UEE Ambassador to the Xi'an Empire. Still, Imperator Addison has made it a priority for the UEE government to be more inclusive by placing Ki Jotal in her cabinet, making her the first Tevarin appointed to such a position, and promoting policies that have increased Tevarin Citizenship numbers.\n\nHumanity\u2019s Unwanted Hitch-Hikers and Invasive Species\nQuestion: I know there is a desire to make as much unique flora and fauna as possible, but what of humanity's old frenemies?\n\nHistorically, we have unintentionally shipped rats, mice, roaches, mosquitos, etc all over the world, and our record of accidental releases is not much better (wild pigs\/boar, rabbits, nutria, feral cats eating local birds, etc...). While I am sure there will be other alien creatures that fill similar niches, how likely is it we will see a good old (space) rat tussling with its local equivalent in ArcCorp and other human settlements?\n\nAnswer: The familiar fauna you mentioned are definitely alive and well across the UEE. Space travel has been so widespread for so long that the pests and parasites that have hounded Humanity for ages have also found a home wherever we've established one. For all the captains who would take the time to systematically vent each section of their ship to ensure no unwanted creatures were along for the ride, there would be plenty of others who would never bother. However, as Humans traveled the stars and encountered new species, there has definitely been more competition for those Earth creatures. So it wouldn\u2019t be too surprising if an alien creature has taken over the vents on a space station that you\u2019d normally expect to see a rat.\n\nWe refer to such creatures as \"boids\", and the Narrative team has already created a list of some that populate the universe. Our breakdown includes specifying the type (insect, bird, crustacean, reptile, and so forth), the biome it inhabits, a description, and if anything can be harvested from it either directly or indirectly. One of these boids, the stone bug, was introduced in the 3.18 patch. Meanwhile, the Ranta may not have made itself visible to players just yet, but its dry cube-shaped dung is harvestable in-game. While common rats, roaches, mosquitos, and other creepy-crawlers are alive and well, our boids list consists of strange creatures and those that feel familiar but have a sci-fi twist that make them unique to our world. We also develop these boids in conjunction with other teams, and want to ensure they have the creative freedom to explore interesting ideas and looks. Some of the boids you'll see populating the world will be pulled from this list we've created and others will come directly from other teams that we give a Narrative spin.\n\nSo, yes, the familiar little creatures that we all know and hate\/love are in the Star Citizen universe. Yet, Players are more likely to find themselves in situations facing exotic boids, like by scraping hull barnacles off their ship before they cause damage or collecting Blunders for their highly corrosive vital fluids.\n\nWill We Ever Learn What Miner's Lament Was Before It Was a Race Track?\nQuestion: I am curious what Miner's Lament looked like\/was before what looks to be an explosion that happened to destroy the station. Will we ever learn this or is it up to the theory groups?\n\nAnswer: Miner's Lament is so named because it was the home of a tragic mining disaster in 2868. A small group of former Shubin Interstellar employees seeking to take advantage of the recently privatized Stanton System pooled their resources and formed their own mining consortium. After scanning multiple available claim sites, the group decided on this location near Yela thinking that it would provide them with the quickest profit. With what funds they had remaining after purchasing the claim, they contracted out for the construction of a mining facility believing the higher volume of ore they would be able to process would offset the startup costs in the long run. However, when delays and cost overruns threatened the entirety of their operations they decided to halt construction and utilize the partially complete station as best they could, finishing it once they made some profits.\n\nThree weeks in, tragedy struck. One of the facility's large storage hoppers became over pressurized when a safety release valve failed. The hopper burst sending ore shards and shrapnel hurtling through the facility and nearby vehicles killing dozens of miners. The operation was shortly shut down afterwards as it was no longer functional and has remained closed in the decades since. In 2918, the claim rights reverted and the area was stripped of most of its resources by various independent operators. It was during this time when visitors to the claim began racing each other for fun until it evolved into the modern track that Wildstar members now frequent.\n\nWhat Is the Imperator's Equivalent to 'Air Force One'?\nQuestion: It\u2019s been hotly debated amongst my friends. We had a couple of different ideas that ranged from a Cutter all the way to an 890 Jump. Guesses included:\n\nTerrapin\n\nCustom Spirit E1 called the Imperator One\n\n600i Exec Custom\n\n890 Jump Custom\n\nCarrack\n\nSo what is the typical craft the Imperator uses to get from locale to locale when bringing their press crew with them?\n\nAnswer: This information is highly classified. Since everyone flies ships strapped with weapons, the 1st Marine Combat Battalion goes to great lengths to ensure the Imperator's safe passage through the Empire. This includes using a vast fleet of ships, decoy flights, and other safety protocols that remain a tightly held secret by the 1st Battalion.\n\nUnlike Air Force One (the airplane that the President of the United States traditionally travels on), there are no seats for press on flights the Imperator takes for security reasons. Members of the press would board a separate charter with secure comms to the Imperator\u2019s ship for impromptu pressing briefings.\n\nUPDATE: It is worth mentioning that a heavily modified Crusader Genesis starliner is part of this fleet. The previous administration, under Imperator Costigan, primarily used this vessel for official travel, but Imperator Addison has stopped that practice because of heightened security measures due the Vanduul war.\n\nHurston Dynamics Bunker HDOF-Palomar\nQuestion: There is a Hurston bunker location named 'HDOF-Palomar'. What does HDOF mean? HDSF is Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility and HDMS is Hurston Dynamics Mining Station, but I couldn't work out what HDOF might mean. Can you enlighten me please?\n\nAnswer: HDOF stands for Hurston Dynamics Operations Facility.\n\nRegarding other designations, you were right about the other two (HDMS for Hurston Dynamics Mining Station and HDSF for Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility). There's also HDES for Hurston Dynamics Extraction Site and HDRSO for Hurston Dynamics Remote Security Outpost.\n\nAre There Monarchist Factions Still Within the UEE?\nQuestion: I've often wondered whether or not there are still Monarchist factions in the UEE. Not specifically Messer loyalists, but those who would like to see a more traditional Imperial aristocracy return to the fore. Are there any prominent Monarchist factions? If so, how influential or reviled are they?\n\nAnswer: Despite monarchists lacking traction on an empire-wide political stage, certain planets or states could have such a system in place. The UEE Common Laws specify certain rights that each planet must uphold, but as long as they adhere to those standards, how they go about it is completely up to them. So a political system, like the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom, could absolutely exist in the UEE, though we have yet to specify one.\n\nThat being said, monarchist factions could definitely still exist in the UEE. Some factions would yearn for the lost regalness and historical connection to Humanity's past, while others would believe a strong leader is essential for protecting the empire and achieving political objectives with minimal interference. Despite the terrible legacy, there would even be some that crave the return of the Messer regime. In fact, the last Imperator election cycle featured a candidate who claimed to be a descendant of Ivar Messer and espoused hateful policies, like kicking all Tevarins out of the UEE. Thankfully that candidate failed to make it out of the primary round.\n\nWhat Does a Stormwal Taste Like?\nQuestion: This is a question spurred on by a stupid discussion I was having with a friend, but now I just have to know. What does a Stormwal taste like and is it safe to eat? Better yet, what would be the best way to cook one? As a steak, a stew, roast, etc. My curiosity and my stomach need to be sated.\n\nAnswer: Before we dive into the finer points of stormwal-based cuisine, it is important to note that these majestic creatures are protected by law and Crusader Security does not look kindly on poachers. As such, ethically and morally, we strongly recommend against eating a stormwal.\n\nNow with the legalities out of the way, the most surprising thing regarding stormwals as a food source, is how comparatively little there is for their respective size. Much of their bulk is occupied by inner flight bladders which are extremely tough and rubbery. While they don't have much flavor, they offer an interesting textural element to a meal. They can be eaten raw after mechanical tenderizing (either through heavily scoring the flesh or by extending pounding) or they can be served cooked by thinly slicing into noodles and stewing for a very long time until it achieves a texture similar to a firm gelatin. Either preparation is traditionally served in a strongly flavored citrus dipping sauce. The cooked version of the bladder can also be fried into a crispy cracker.\n\nThe other main part that can be consumed is the stormwal's fin which has a ring of lean dark meat known for its strong minerally flavor. A raw preparation is the most common with thin slices being marinated in oil, salt and spices. Particular care must be taken to slice against the grain or the fin meat will be almost inedibly tough. Cooking the fin is not recommended as the stormwal's muscle fibers tend to constrict tightly together when exposed to heat and the end result is very dry and fibrous.\n\nXi\u2019an Criminal Houses\nQuestion: This post calls Xi\u2019an criminal houses yu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101, while in the galactapedia article refers to them as Nyayu'a. Was this a xenolinguistics change? Does the first refer to the houses in general and the second refer to the people in those houses(the professional criminals)? I am new to xenolinguistics, and was just looking into the Xi'an lore and noticed this difference.\n\nAnswer: Welcome to the world of xenolinguistics! If you haven't already, be sure to check out the language guides for Banu and Xi'an. Each one has a ton of interesting information about the language and culture of that species, plus a sample dictionary covering common words and phrases. The Xi'an language guide includes the words you're inquiring about. Though both refer to an aspect of criminality, neither literally mean a Xi'an criminal house.\n\nyu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101 - collector (for a loan shark or security bribe) literally: \u2018caregiver for the neighborhood\u2019\n\nNyayu'a - Gangster\n\nSo nyayu'a is an umbrella term, while yu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101 refers to a specific type of criminal. The Xi'an language guide also states that the prefix yu\u2019a-______ indicates someone involved in a criminal or quasi-criminal profession, like yu\u2019at.\u014dngya [bodyguard (to a gangster)] or yu\u2019ao.r\u2019o (non-sharpshooter assassin; mercenary). On the culture side, the language guide also advises that, \"If you are ever told about anyone lo nyayu\u2019a, it is probably best not to ask further about who that person is or what they do.\" Though some houses are permitted by the Xi'an government to engage in criminal activities, it's not socially acceptable to talk about it and some Xi'an may even pretend to not know these terms.\n\nHow Is Sewage Dealt With?\nQuestion: Do planets have processing plants that filter it into usable products? Or is it shipped primarily off world and dumped on planets like Hurston?\n\nAnswer: Despite its displeasing attributes, sewage carries value in the universe. Locations would have processing facilities that filter and separate materials based on desired usage, and those byproducts could potentially be used in numerous ways. Exactly how they're handled would be determined by the location's governing body.\n\nFor example, Crusader could have an advanced greywater system to keep its plants alive, ArcCorp could help fuel its planet wide network of factories with Human waste bioreactors, and microTech could combine sewage with other products to process it into something useful, like how recycled material composite (RMC) is a byproduct of salvaging and can be used for minor hull repairs. Meanwhile, Hurston might deem all these solutions as too expensive and simply sell it in bulk to other locations or pay people to take it away, like the current waste disposal missions in-game. Since they're the first planet in Stanton, maybe someday they'll even be looking for contractors willing to dispose of some of those crates of waste by firing them into the sun.\n\nCitizens for Pyro\nQuestion: Observist Lifestyle - Citizens for Pyro details a meeting between a reporter and the leader of a new organization called Citizens for Pyro that aims to establish a haven in Pyro \"within the next five years\". You mentioned in a recent lore Q&A that there will be independent homesteaders, farmers, and the like in Pyro who a lawful player might be more inclined to ally with over the various gangs. Is this Citizens for Pyro group planned to be another faction that lawful players will be able to do missions for in Pyro?\n\nAnswer: Citizens for Pyro is a group of concerned civilians intent on suppressing the criminal forces who control Pyro and use it as a base of operations to attack other systems. The group began by sending forces into Pyro to hunt down criminals but soon realized that these forays did little to address the problem. They believe that expanding the influence and size of non-gang affiliated civilian settlements within Pyro is the only way to alter the course of the system\u2019s future. The more civilians there are living in Pyro, the more commerce will occur and the more resources will be spent on protecting those interests by improving the systems overall safety, stability, and well-being. This plan has garnered interest and support from both companies and private donors who are interested in expanding the economic opportunities in Pyro. While Citizens for Pyro has primarily been a volunteer group based outside the system, this support means they could soon be looking for contractors to aid their goal of establishing and protecting settlements in Pyro. If you have nerves of steel and aren't afraid to take the fight to Pyro's gangs, then definitely keep an eye out for future contracts from Citizens for Pyro.","de_DE":"07\/11\/2023 - 12:00 PMWillkommen bei Loremakers: Community Questions, einer Serie, die sich auf die Beantwortung deiner Fragen und R\u00e4tsel konzentriert. Wir haben den Bereich \"Fragen an einen Entwickler\" durchforstet und zehn Fragen zum Star Citizen-Universum ausgew\u00e4hlt, die wir beantworten. Die Fragen wurden bearbeitet, um den Kontext und die Klarheit zu verbessern, aber du kannst auf das Thema klicken, um direkt zum Originalbeitrag zu gelangen und dich an der Diskussion zu beteiligen. Au\u00dferdem ver\u00f6ffentlicht das Narrative Team eine Folge von Loremakers: Die n\u00e4chste Ausgabe ist f\u00fcr Dienstag, den 19. September, geplant. Nimm also bitte an der Diskussion teil und stelle deine Fragen zum Universum in unserem Ask A Dev Forum.\n\nWas ist mit Laylani Addison passiert?\nFrage: Seit Laylani zur Imperatorin gew\u00e4hlt wurde, haben wir nicht mehr viel von ihr geh\u00f6rt. Was ist passiert?\n\nAntwort: Mehrere Artikel haben sich mit Laylani Addisons Erfolgen und Misserfolgen als Imperatorin befasst. Einige dieser Details wurden in Artikeln \u00fcber andere Themen aufgedeckt, damit die \u00dcberlieferung ihren Einfluss auf die UEE nachverfolgen konnte, ohne dass sich jeder Artikel auf sie konzentrierte. Hier ist eine Sammlung von Artikeln, die Imperator Addisons bisherigen Einfluss auf das Imperium beschreiben.\n\nNach ihrer Wahl im Jahr 2950 und ihrem Amtsantritt Anfang 2951 wurde Imperator Addison von Anfang an von denjenigen kritisch be\u00e4ugt, die sich fragten, wie sie es \u00fcberhaupt geschafft hatte, an die Macht zu kommen, w\u00e4hrend andere sich fragten, wie sie als Unabh\u00e4ngige regieren k\u00f6nnte. Ihr gr\u00f6\u00dfter politischer Erfolg war bisher die Freigabe der Regenerierungstechnologie und die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Senat, um sie allgemein verf\u00fcgbar zu machen. Au\u00dferdem hat sie ihr Wahlversprechen eingel\u00f6st, die Beschr\u00e4nkungen f\u00fcr KI zu lockern, indem sie das Gesetz \"Better Act Together\" entworfen hat, das es der Regierung offiziell erlauben w\u00fcrde, ihre Forschung zu finanzieren. Dieses Gesetz ist jedoch im Senat ins Stocken geraten, da die Arbeitsbeziehungen zwischen den beiden Regierungszweigen gest\u00f6rt sind. Der Senat hat auch Imperator Addisons Nominierung von Nyahuoa\u014dng T.yi als UEE-Botschafter im Xi'an-Reich abgelehnt. Imperatorin Addison hat es sich jedoch zur Priorit\u00e4t gemacht, die UEE-Regierung integrativer zu gestalten, indem sie Ki Jotal in ihr Kabinett berufen hat, die erste Tevarin, die in eine solche Position berufen wurde, und sich f\u00fcr eine Politik eingesetzt hat, die die Zahl der tevarinischen B\u00fcrgerinnen und B\u00fcrger erh\u00f6ht hat.\n\nUnerw\u00fcnschte Anhalter der Menschheit und invasive Arten\nFrage: Ich wei\u00df, dass es den Wunsch gibt, so viel einzigartige Flora und Fauna wie m\u00f6glich zu schaffen, aber was ist mit den alten Feinden der Menschheit?\n\nIn der Vergangenheit haben wir Ratten, M\u00e4use, Kakerlaken, M\u00fccken usw. ungewollt in die ganze Welt verfrachtet, und unsere Bilanz bei ungewollten Freisetzungen ist nicht viel besser (Wildschweine, Kaninchen, Nutria, verwilderte Katzen, die einheimische V\u00f6gel fressen usw.). Ich bin mir zwar sicher, dass es auch andere au\u00dferirdische Kreaturen gibt, die \u00e4hnliche Nischen besetzen, aber wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass wir die gute alte (Weltraum-)Ratte mit ihrem einheimischen Pendant in ArcCorp und anderen menschlichen Siedlungen k\u00e4mpfen sehen werden?\n\nAntwort: Die vertrauten Tiere, die du erw\u00e4hnt hast, sind definitiv \u00fcberall in der UEE zu finden. Die Raumfahrt ist schon so lange so weit verbreitet, dass die Sch\u00e4dlinge und Parasiten, die die Menschheit schon seit Ewigkeiten verfolgen, auch \u00fcberall dort ein Zuhause gefunden haben, wo wir eines errichtet haben. W\u00e4hrend sich viele Kapit\u00e4ne die Zeit nahmen, jeden Bereich ihres Schiffes systematisch zu l\u00fcften, um sicherzustellen, dass keine unerw\u00fcnschten Kreaturen an Bord waren, gab es viele andere, die sich nicht die M\u00fche machten. Doch seit die Menschen die Sterne bereisten und auf neue Spezies trafen, gab es definitiv mehr Konkurrenz f\u00fcr die Kreaturen von der Erde. Es w\u00e4re also nicht allzu \u00fcberraschend, wenn eine au\u00dferirdische Kreatur die L\u00fcftungssch\u00e4chte einer Raumstation \u00fcbernommen hat, in denen man normalerweise eine Ratte erwarten w\u00fcrde.\n\nWir bezeichnen solche Kreaturen als \"Boids\" und das Erz\u00e4hlteam hat bereits eine Liste mit einigen erstellt, die das Universum bev\u00f6lkern. Dazu geh\u00f6rt die Art (Insekt, Vogel, Krustentier, Reptil usw.), das Biotop, in dem sie leben, eine Beschreibung und ob man von ihnen direkt oder indirekt etwas ernten kann. Einer dieser Boids, der Steink\u00e4fer, wurde mit dem Patch 3.18 eingef\u00fchrt. Der Ranta ist zwar noch nicht f\u00fcr die Spieler\/innen sichtbar, aber sein trockener, w\u00fcrfelf\u00f6rmiger Dung kann im Spiel geerntet werden. W\u00e4hrend gew\u00f6hnliche Ratten, Kakerlaken, M\u00fccken und andere gruselige Krabbeltiere lebendig und gesund sind, besteht unsere Boids-Liste aus seltsamen Kreaturen und solchen, die sich vertraut anf\u00fchlen, aber einen Sci-Fi-Touch haben, der sie einzigartig f\u00fcr unsere Welt macht. Wir entwickeln diese Boids auch in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Teams und wollen sicherstellen, dass sie die kreative Freiheit haben, interessante Ideen und Looks zu entwickeln. Einige der Boids, die du in der Welt sehen wirst, stammen aus dieser Liste, die wir erstellt haben, andere wiederum kommen direkt von anderen Teams, denen wir einen Narrative Spin geben.\n\nAlso, ja, die vertrauten kleinen Kreaturen, die wir alle kennen und hassen, gibt es auch im Star Citizen Universum. Dennoch werden sich die Spieler\/innen eher in Situationen wiederfinden, in denen sie mit exotischen Boids konfrontiert werden, z. B. wenn sie Rankenfu\u00dfkrebse von ihrem Schiff abkratzen, bevor sie Schaden anrichten, oder wenn sie Blunders f\u00fcr ihre hochgradig \u00e4tzenden Lebensfl\u00fcssigkeiten sammeln.\n\nWerden wir jemals erfahren, was Miner's Lament war, bevor es eine Rennstrecke war?\nFrage: Ich bin neugierig, wie Miner's Lament vor der Explosion, die die Station zerst\u00f6rt hat, aussah bzw. war. Werden wir das jemals erfahren oder bleibt das den Theoriegruppen \u00fcberlassen?\n\nAntwort: Miner's Lament hei\u00dft so, weil sich dort 2868 ein tragisches Bergwerksungl\u00fcck ereignete. Eine kleine Gruppe ehemaliger Angestellter von Shubin Interstellar, die die Vorteile des k\u00fcrzlich privatisierten Stanton-Systems nutzen wollten, legten ihre Ressourcen zusammen und gr\u00fcndeten ihr eigenes Bergbaukonsortium. Nachdem die Gruppe mehrere verf\u00fcgbare Claims gepr\u00fcft hatte, entschied sie sich f\u00fcr diesen Standort in der N\u00e4he von Yela, weil sie dachte, dass sie dort den schnellsten Gewinn erzielen w\u00fcrde. Mit den Mitteln, die ihnen nach dem Kauf des Claims noch zur Verf\u00fcgung standen, gaben sie den Bau einer Minenanlage in Auftrag, da sie glaubten, dass die h\u00f6heren Erzmengen, die sie verarbeiten k\u00f6nnten, die Anlaufkosten auf lange Sicht ausgleichen w\u00fcrden. Als jedoch Verz\u00f6gerungen und Kosten\u00fcberschreitungen den gesamten Betrieb bedrohten, beschlossen sie, den Bau zu stoppen und die teilweise fertiggestellte Station so gut wie m\u00f6glich zu nutzen, um sie fertigzustellen, sobald sie etwas Gewinn gemacht hatten.\n\nNach drei Wochen ereignete sich eine Trag\u00f6die. Einer der gro\u00dfen Lagertrichter der Anlage geriet unter \u00dcberdruck, als ein Sicherheitsventil ausfiel. Der Trichter platzte und schickte Erzsplitter und Schrapnelle durch die Anlage und nahegelegene Fahrzeuge, wobei Dutzende von Bergleuten get\u00f6tet wurden. Der Betrieb wurde kurz darauf eingestellt, da er nicht mehr funktionst\u00fcchtig war, und blieb auch in den folgenden Jahrzehnten geschlossen. Im Jahr 2918 fielen die Claim-Rechte zur\u00fcck und das Gebiet wurde von verschiedenen unabh\u00e4ngigen Betreibern um einen Gro\u00dfteil seiner Ressourcen beraubt. In dieser Zeit begannen die Besucher des Claims, sich zum Spa\u00df gegenseitig Rennen zu liefern, bis sich daraus die moderne Rennstrecke entwickelte, die heute von den Wildstar-Mitgliedern genutzt wird.\n\nWas ist das \u00c4quivalent des Imperators zur \"Air Force One\"?\nFrage: Das wurde unter meinen Freunden hei\u00df diskutiert. Wir hatten verschiedene Ideen, die von einem Cutter bis hin zu einem 890 Jump reichten. Zu den Vermutungen geh\u00f6rten:\n\nTerrapin\n\nCustom Spirit E1, genannt Imperator One\n\n600i Exec Custom\n\n890 Jump Custom\n\nCarrack\n\nWas ist das typische Schiff, das der Imperator benutzt, um von einem Ort zum anderen zu gelangen, wenn er seine Pressemannschaft mitbringt?\n\nAntwort: Diese Information ist streng geheim. Da alle Schiffe mit Waffen best\u00fcckt sind, unternimmt das 1st Marine Combat Battalion gro\u00dfe Anstrengungen, um die sichere Reise des Imperators durch das Imperium zu gew\u00e4hrleisten. Dazu geh\u00f6ren der Einsatz einer riesigen Flotte von Schiffen, Lockfl\u00fcge und andere Sicherheitsprotokolle, die vom 1st Battalion streng geheim gehalten werden.\n\nIm Gegensatz zur Air Force One (dem Flugzeug, mit dem der Pr\u00e4sident der Vereinigten Staaten reist) gibt es auf den Fl\u00fcgen des Imperators aus Sicherheitsgr\u00fcnden keine Sitze f\u00fcr die Presse. Die Pressevertreter gehen an Bord eines separaten Schiffes, das \u00fcber eine sichere Verbindung zum Schiff des Imperators verf\u00fcgt, um spontane Pressegespr\u00e4che zu f\u00fchren.\n\nHurston Dynamics Bunker HDOF-Palomar\nFrage: Es gibt einen Hurston-Bunker mit dem Namen \"HDOF-Palomar\". Was bedeutet HDOF? HDSF ist Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility und HDMS ist Hurston Dynamics Mining Station, aber ich konnte nicht herausfinden, was HDOF bedeuten k\u00f6nnte. Kannst du mich bitte aufkl\u00e4ren?\n\nAntwort: HDOF steht f\u00fcr Hurston Dynamics Operations Facility.\n\nWas die anderen Bezeichnungen angeht, hast du mit den beiden anderen richtig gelegen (HDMS f\u00fcr Hurston Dynamics Mining Station und HDSF f\u00fcr Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility). Au\u00dferdem gibt es noch HDES f\u00fcr Hurston Dynamics Extraction Site und HDRSO f\u00fcr Hurston Dynamics Remote Security Outpost.\n\nGibt es noch monarchistische Fraktionen in der UEE?\nFrage: Ich habe mich schon oft gefragt, ob es in der UEE noch monarchistische Fraktionen gibt oder nicht. Nicht speziell Messer-Loyalisten, sondern diejenigen, die gerne eine traditionellere kaiserliche Aristokratie wieder in den Vordergrund r\u00fccken w\u00fcrden. Gibt es irgendwelche prominenten monarchistischen Fraktionen? Wenn ja, wie einflussreich oder verp\u00f6nt sind sie?\n\nAntwort: Obwohl Monarchisten auf der politischen B\u00fchne des gesamten Imperiums keinen Einfluss haben, kann es auf bestimmten Planeten oder Staaten ein solches System geben. In den Gemeinsamen Gesetzen der UEE sind bestimmte Rechte festgelegt, die jeder Planet einhalten muss, aber solange er sich an diese Standards h\u00e4lt, ist es ihm v\u00f6llig freigestellt, wie er das macht. Ein politisches System, wie die konstitutionelle Monarchie des Vereinigten K\u00f6nigreichs, k\u00f6nnte also durchaus in der UEE existieren, auch wenn wir es noch nicht festgelegt haben.\n\nAbgesehen davon k\u00f6nnte es in der UEE durchaus monarchistische Fraktionen geben. Einige Fraktionen w\u00fcrden sich nach der verlorenen K\u00f6nigsw\u00fcrde und der historischen Verbindung zur Vergangenheit der Menschheit sehnen, w\u00e4hrend andere glauben, dass ein starker F\u00fchrer unerl\u00e4sslich ist, um das Reich zu sch\u00fctzen und politische Ziele mit minimaler Einmischung zu erreichen. Trotz des schrecklichen Verm\u00e4chtnisses g\u00e4be es sogar einige, die sich die R\u00fcckkehr des Messer-Regimes w\u00fcnschen. Bei der letzten Imperator-Wahl trat ein Kandidat an, der behauptete, ein Nachfahre von Ivar Messer zu sein, und der eine hasserf\u00fcllte Politik vertrat, z. B. den Rauswurf aller Tevariner aus der UEE. Zum Gl\u00fcck kam dieser Kandidat nicht \u00fcber die Vorwahlen hinaus.\n\nWie schmeckt ein Stormwal?\nFrage: Diese Frage wurde durch eine dumme Diskussion mit einem Freund ausgel\u00f6st, aber jetzt muss ich es einfach wissen. Wie schmeckt ein Stormwal und kann man ihn essen? Und noch besser: Wie kann man ihn am besten zubereiten? Als Steak, Eintopf, Braten, etc. Meine Neugierde und mein Magen m\u00fcssen gestillt werden.\n\nAntwort: Bevor wir uns mit den Feinheiten der Sturmwal-K\u00fcche befassen, ist es wichtig zu wissen, dass diese majest\u00e4tischen Tiere gesetzlich gesch\u00fctzt sind und Crusader Security Wilderer nicht gern sieht. Aus ethischen und moralischen Gr\u00fcnden raten wir daher dringend davon ab, einen Sturmwal zu essen.\n\nNachdem wir die rechtlichen Aspekte gekl\u00e4rt haben, ist das Erstaunlichste an den Sturmwalen als Nahrungsquelle, dass sie f\u00fcr ihre Gr\u00f6\u00dfe vergleichsweise wenig davon haben. Ein Gro\u00dfteil ihrer Masse wird von den inneren Flugblasen eingenommen, die extrem z\u00e4h und gummiartig sind. Sie haben zwar nicht viel Geschmack, aber sie bieten ein interessantes strukturelles Element f\u00fcr eine Mahlzeit. Man kann sie roh essen, nachdem man sie mechanisch zart gemacht hat (entweder durch starkes Einritzen des Fleisches oder durch ausgiebiges Stampfen), oder man kann sie gekocht servieren, indem man sie in d\u00fcnne Scheiben schneidet und sehr lange schmoren l\u00e4sst, bis sie eine Textur \u00e4hnlich der einer festen Gelatine haben. Beide Zubereitungen werden traditionell mit einer stark gew\u00fcrzten Zitrusdip-Sauce serviert. Die gekochte Version der Blase kann auch zu einem knusprigen Cracker frittiert werden.\n\nDer andere wichtige Teil, der verzehrt werden kann, ist die Flosse des Sturms, die einen Ring aus magerem, dunklem Fleisch hat und f\u00fcr ihren starken, mineralischen Geschmack bekannt ist. Am h\u00e4ufigsten wird er roh zubereitet, indem d\u00fcnne Scheiben in \u00d6l, Salz und Gew\u00fcrzen mariniert werden. Achte besonders darauf, dass du sie gegen die Faser schneidest, sonst wird das Flossenfleisch fast unertr\u00e4glich z\u00e4h. Das Kochen der Flosse ist nicht zu empfehlen, da sich die Muskelfasern des Sturmfischs bei Hitze zusammenziehen und das Ergebnis sehr trocken und faserig ist.\n\nVerbrecherh\u00e4user in Xi'an\nFrage: In diesem Beitrag werden die Xi'an-Verbrecherh\u00e4user als yu'at.\u014dngh'uit\u0101 bezeichnet, w\u00e4hrend sie im Galactapedia-Artikel als Nyayu'a bezeichnet werden. War das eine xenolinguistische \u00c4nderung? Bezieht sich das erste auf die H\u00e4user im Allgemeinen und das zweite auf die Menschen in diesen H\u00e4usern (die Berufskriminellen)? Ich bin neu in der Xenolinguistik und habe mir gerade die \u00dcberlieferungen von Xi'an angeschaut und diesen Unterschied bemerkt.\n\nAntwort: Willkommen in der Welt der Xenolinguistik! Falls du es noch nicht getan hast, solltest du dir unbedingt die Sprachf\u00fchrer f\u00fcr Banu und Xi'an ansehen. Beide enthalten eine Menge interessanter Informationen \u00fcber die Sprache und Kultur der jeweiligen Spezies sowie ein Beispielw\u00f6rterbuch mit g\u00e4ngigen W\u00f6rtern und S\u00e4tzen. Der Sprachf\u00fchrer f\u00fcr Xi'an enth\u00e4lt die W\u00f6rter, nach denen du dich erkundigt hast. Obwohl sich beide auf einen Aspekt der Kriminalit\u00e4t beziehen, bedeuten sie nicht w\u00f6rtlich ein kriminelles Haus in Xi'an.\n\nyu'at.\u014dngh'uit\u0101 - Eintreiber (f\u00fcr einen Kredithai oder ein Sicherheitsgeld) w\u00f6rtlich: \"Betreuer f\u00fcr die Nachbarschaft\".\n\nNyayu'a - Gangster\n\nNyayu'a ist also ein Oberbegriff, w\u00e4hrend yu'at.\u014dngh'uit\u0101 sich auf eine bestimmte Art von Kriminellen bezieht. Im Xi'an-Sprachf\u00fchrer steht auch, dass die Vorsilbe yu'a-______ jemanden bezeichnet, der einen kriminellen oder quasi-kriminellen Beruf aus\u00fcbt, wie yu'at.\u014dngya [Leibw\u00e4chter (eines Gangsters)] oder yu'ao.r'o (Nicht-Scharfsch\u00fctzen-Attent\u00e4ter; S\u00f6ldner). Was die Kultur angeht, r\u00e4t der Sprachf\u00fchrer au\u00dferdem: \"Wenn du jemals von jemandem lo nyayu'a erz\u00e4hlt bekommst, ist es wahrscheinlich am besten, nicht weiter nachzufragen, wer diese Person ist oder was sie tut.\" Obwohl einige H\u00e4user von der Regierung in Xi'an die Erlaubnis haben, kriminellen Aktivit\u00e4ten nachzugehen, ist es nicht gesellschaftsf\u00e4hig, dar\u00fcber zu sprechen und manche Xi'aner geben sogar vor, diese Begriffe nicht zu kennen.\n\nWie wird mit Abwasser umgegangen?\nFrage: Gibt es auf den Planeten Aufbereitungsanlagen, die das Abwasser zu verwertbaren Produkten filtern? Oder werden die Abw\u00e4sser haupts\u00e4chlich au\u00dferhalb der Welt transportiert und auf Planeten wie Hurston entsorgt?\n\nAntwort: Trotz seiner unangenehmen Eigenschaften hat das Abwasser im Universum einen Wert. An den Standorten g\u00e4be es Aufbereitungsanlagen, die die Materialien je nach Verwendungszweck filtern und trennen, und diese Nebenprodukte k\u00f6nnten auf vielf\u00e4ltige Weise genutzt werden. Wie genau sie gehandhabt werden, wird von den Beh\u00f6rden des jeweiligen Ortes festgelegt.\n\nCrusader k\u00f6nnte zum Beispiel ein fortschrittliches Grauwassersystem haben, um seine Pflanzen am Leben zu erhalten, ArcCorp k\u00f6nnte sein planetenweites Netzwerk von Fabriken mit Bioreaktoren f\u00fcr menschliche Abf\u00e4lle versorgen und MicroTech k\u00f6nnte Abwasser mit anderen Produkten kombinieren, um es zu etwas N\u00fctzlichem zu verarbeiten, wie z.B. recyceltes Verbundmaterial (RMC), das ein Nebenprodukt der Bergung ist und f\u00fcr kleinere Reparaturen am Schiffsrumpf verwendet werden kann. In der Zwischenzeit k\u00f6nnte Hurston all diese L\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr zu teuer halten und das Abwasser einfach in gro\u00dfen Mengen an andere Orte verkaufen oder Leute daf\u00fcr bezahlen, dass sie es abtransportieren, wie bei den aktuellen M\u00fcllentsorgungsmissionen im Spiel. Da sie der erste Planet in Stanton sind, werden sie vielleicht eines Tages sogar nach Auftragnehmern suchen, die bereit sind, einige dieser Abfallkisten zu entsorgen, indem sie sie in die Sonne schie\u00dfen.\n\nB\u00fcrger f\u00fcr Pyro\nFrage: Observist Lifestyle - Citizens for Pyro berichtet \u00fcber ein Treffen zwischen einem Reporter und dem Anf\u00fchrer einer neuen Organisation namens Citizens for Pyro, die \"innerhalb der n\u00e4chsten f\u00fcnf Jahre\" einen Zufluchtsort in Pyro errichten will. In einer der letzten Fragen und Antworten zur Geschichte hast du erw\u00e4hnt, dass es in Pyro unabh\u00e4ngige Siedler, Bauern und dergleichen geben wird, mit denen sich ein gesetzestreuer Spieler eher verb\u00fcnden k\u00f6nnte als mit den verschiedenen Banden. Wird die Gruppe \"B\u00fcrger f\u00fcr Pyro\" eine weitere Fraktion sein, f\u00fcr die gesetzestreue Spieler in Pyro Missionen erledigen k\u00f6nnen?\n\nAntwort: B\u00fcrger f\u00fcr Pyro ist eine Gruppe besorgter Zivilisten, die die kriminellen Kr\u00e4fte unterdr\u00fccken wollen, die Pyro kontrollieren und es als Operationsbasis f\u00fcr Angriffe auf andere Systeme nutzen. Die Gruppe begann damit, Truppen nach Pyro zu schicken, um Kriminelle zu jagen, musste aber bald feststellen, dass diese Streifz\u00fcge wenig zur L\u00f6sung des Problems beitrugen. Sie sind der Meinung, dass die Ausweitung des Einflusses und der Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von zivilen Siedlungen auf Pyro, die nicht zu Gangs geh\u00f6ren, der einzige Weg ist, um die Zukunft des Systems zu ver\u00e4ndern. Je mehr Zivilisten in Pyro leben, desto mehr Handel wird es geben und desto mehr Ressourcen werden f\u00fcr den Schutz dieser Interessen aufgewendet, indem die Sicherheit, die Stabilit\u00e4t und das Wohlergehen des Systems insgesamt verbessert werden. Dieser Plan hat das Interesse und die Unterst\u00fctzung sowohl von Unternehmen als auch von privaten Spendern geweckt, die daran interessiert sind, die wirtschaftlichen M\u00f6glichkeiten in Pyro zu erweitern. Obwohl Citizens for Pyro in erster Linie eine Freiwilligengruppe ist, die au\u00dferhalb des Systems arbeitet, k\u00f6nnte diese Unterst\u00fctzung bedeuten, dass sie bald nach Auftragnehmern suchen, die ihr Ziel unterst\u00fctzen, Siedlungen in Pyro zu gr\u00fcnden und zu sch\u00fctzen. Wenn du Nerven wie Drahtseile hast und dich nicht davor scheust, den Kampf gegen die Gangs von Pyro aufzunehmen, dann halte auf jeden Fall Ausschau nach zuk\u00fcnftigen Auftr\u00e4gen von Citizens for Pyro.","zh_CN":"07\/11\/2023 - 12:00 PMWelcome to Loremakers: Community Questions, a series focused on answering your lore quandaries and conundrums. We\u2019ve done a deep dive through the lore Ask A Dev section and selected ten questions to answer about the Star Citizen universe. Questions were edited for context and clarity but you can click on the topic to go directly to the original post and join the conversation. Also, the Narrative team does one installment of Loremakers: Community Questions every quarter with the next entry scheduled for Tuesday, September 19th, so please join the discussion and drop any questions you might have about the universe in our Ask A Dev forum.\n\nWhat Happened to Laylani Addison?\nQuestion: Ever since Laylani got elected as Imperator we haven't heard much about her. What happened?\n\nAnswer: Several lore pieces have touched upon Laylani Addison's successes and failures as Imperator. Some of these details were revealed in articles about other subjects so the lore could track her affect on the UEE without each piece focusing on her. Here\u2019s a collection of articles tracking Imperator Addison's impact on the empire so far.\n\nElected to the position in 2950 and inaugurated in early 2951, Imperator Addison faced scrutiny from the very beginning from those who wondered how she even managed to rise to power, while others questioned how she would be able to govern as an independent. So far, her biggest political win has been declassifying regen technology and working with the Senate to make it widely available. She's also worked on her campaign promise to loosen AI restrictions by drafting the Better Act Together legislation, which would officially allow the government to fund its research. That legislation is currently stalled in the Senate though, as the working relationship between the two branches of government has soured. The Senate also rejected Imperator Addison's nomination of Nyahuoa\u014dng T.yi to be the UEE Ambassador to the Xi'an Empire. Still, Imperator Addison has made it a priority for the UEE government to be more inclusive by placing Ki Jotal in her cabinet, making her the first Tevarin appointed to such a position, and promoting policies that have increased Tevarin Citizenship numbers.\n\nHumanity\u2019s Unwanted Hitch-Hikers and Invasive Species\nQuestion: I know there is a desire to make as much unique flora and fauna as possible, but what of humanity's old frenemies?\n\nHistorically, we have unintentionally shipped rats, mice, roaches, mosquitos, etc all over the world, and our record of accidental releases is not much better (wild pigs\/boar, rabbits, nutria, feral cats eating local birds, etc...). While I am sure there will be other alien creatures that fill similar niches, how likely is it we will see a good old (space) rat tussling with its local equivalent in ArcCorp and other human settlements?\n\nAnswer: The familiar fauna you mentioned are definitely alive and well across the UEE. Space travel has been so widespread for so long that the pests and parasites that have hounded Humanity for ages have also found a home wherever we've established one. For all the captains who would take the time to systematically vent each section of their ship to ensure no unwanted creatures were along for the ride, there would be plenty of others who would never bother. However, as Humans traveled the stars and encountered new species, there has definitely been more competition for those Earth creatures. So it wouldn\u2019t be too surprising if an alien creature has taken over the vents on a space station that you\u2019d normally expect to see a rat.\n\nWe refer to such creatures as \"boids\", and the Narrative team has already created a list of some that populate the universe. Our breakdown includes specifying the type (insect, bird, crustacean, reptile, and so forth), the biome it inhabits, a description, and if anything can be harvested from it either directly or indirectly. One of these boids, the stone bug, was introduced in the 3.18 patch. Meanwhile, the Ranta may not have made itself visible to players just yet, but its dry cube-shaped dung is harvestable in-game. While common rats, roaches, mosquitos, and other creepy-crawlers are alive and well, our boids list consists of strange creatures and those that feel familiar but have a sci-fi twist that make them unique to our world. We also develop these boids in conjunction with other teams, and want to ensure they have the creative freedom to explore interesting ideas and looks. Some of the boids you'll see populating the world will be pulled from this list we've created and others will come directly from other teams that we give a Narrative spin.\n\nSo, yes, the familiar little creatures that we all know and hate\/love are in the Star Citizen universe. Yet, Players are more likely to find themselves in situations facing exotic boids, like by scraping hull barnacles off their ship before they cause damage or collecting Blunders for their highly corrosive vital fluids.\n\nWill We Ever Learn What Miner's Lament Was Before It Was a Race Track?\nQuestion: I am curious what Miner's Lament looked like\/was before what looks to be an explosion that happened to destroy the station. Will we ever learn this or is it up to the theory groups?\n\nAnswer: Miner's Lament is so named because it was the home of a tragic mining disaster in 2868. A small group of former Shubin Interstellar employees seeking to take advantage of the recently privatized Stanton System pooled their resources and formed their own mining consortium. After scanning multiple available claim sites, the group decided on this location near Yela thinking that it would provide them with the quickest profit. With what funds they had remaining after purchasing the claim, they contracted out for the construction of a mining facility believing the higher volume of ore they would be able to process would offset the startup costs in the long run. However, when delays and cost overruns threatened the entirety of their operations they decided to halt construction and utilize the partially complete station as best they could, finishing it once they made some profits.\n\nThree weeks in, tragedy struck. One of the facility's large storage hoppers became over pressurized when a safety release valve failed. The hopper burst sending ore shards and shrapnel hurtling through the facility and nearby vehicles killing dozens of miners. The operation was shortly shut down afterwards as it was no longer functional and has remained closed in the decades since. In 2918, the claim rights reverted and the area was stripped of most of its resources by various independent operators. It was during this time when visitors to the claim began racing each other for fun until it evolved into the modern track that Wildstar members now frequent.\n\nWhat Is the Imperator's Equivalent to 'Air Force One'?\nQuestion: It\u2019s been hotly debated amongst my friends. We had a couple of different ideas that ranged from a Cutter all the way to an 890 Jump. Guesses included:\n\nTerrapin\n\nCustom Spirit E1 called the Imperator One\n\n600i Exec Custom\n\n890 Jump Custom\n\nCarrack\n\nSo what is the typical craft the Imperator uses to get from locale to locale when bringing their press crew with them?\n\nAnswer: This information is highly classified. Since everyone flies ships strapped with weapons, the 1st Marine Combat Battalion goes to great lengths to ensure the Imperator's safe passage through the Empire. This includes using a vast fleet of ships, decoy flights, and other safety protocols that remain a tightly held secret by the 1st Battalion.\n\nUnlike Air Force One (the airplane that the President of the United States traditionally travels on), there are no seats for press on flights the Imperator takes for security reasons. Members of the press would board a separate charter with secure comms to the Imperator\u2019s ship for impromptu pressing briefings.\n\nUPDATE: It is worth mentioning that a heavily modified Crusader Genesis starliner is part of this fleet. The previous administration, under Imperator Costigan, primarily used this vessel for official travel, but Imperator Addison has stopped that practice because of heightened security measures due the Vanduul war.\n\nHurston Dynamics Bunker HDOF-Palomar\nQuestion: There is a Hurston bunker location named 'HDOF-Palomar'. What does HDOF mean? HDSF is Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility and HDMS is Hurston Dynamics Mining Station, but I couldn't work out what HDOF might mean. Can you enlighten me please?\n\nAnswer: HDOF stands for Hurston Dynamics Operations Facility.\n\nRegarding other designations, you were right about the other two (HDMS for Hurston Dynamics Mining Station and HDSF for Hurston Dynamics Storage Facility). There's also HDES for Hurston Dynamics Extraction Site and HDRSO for Hurston Dynamics Remote Security Outpost.\n\nAre There Monarchist Factions Still Within the UEE?\nQuestion: I've often wondered whether or not there are still Monarchist factions in the UEE. Not specifically Messer loyalists, but those who would like to see a more traditional Imperial aristocracy return to the fore. Are there any prominent Monarchist factions? If so, how influential or reviled are they?\n\nAnswer: Despite monarchists lacking traction on an empire-wide political stage, certain planets or states could have such a system in place. The UEE Common Laws specify certain rights that each planet must uphold, but as long as they adhere to those standards, how they go about it is completely up to them. So a political system, like the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom, could absolutely exist in the UEE, though we have yet to specify one.\n\nThat being said, monarchist factions could definitely still exist in the UEE. Some factions would yearn for the lost regalness and historical connection to Humanity's past, while others would believe a strong leader is essential for protecting the empire and achieving political objectives with minimal interference. Despite the terrible legacy, there would even be some that crave the return of the Messer regime. In fact, the last Imperator election cycle featured a candidate who claimed to be a descendant of Ivar Messer and espoused hateful policies, like kicking all Tevarins out of the UEE. Thankfully that candidate failed to make it out of the primary round.\n\nWhat Does a Stormwal Taste Like?\nQuestion: This is a question spurred on by a stupid discussion I was having with a friend, but now I just have to know. What does a Stormwal taste like and is it safe to eat? Better yet, what would be the best way to cook one? As a steak, a stew, roast, etc. My curiosity and my stomach need to be sated.\n\nAnswer: Before we dive into the finer points of stormwal-based cuisine, it is important to note that these majestic creatures are protected by law and Crusader Security does not look kindly on poachers. As such, ethically and morally, we strongly recommend against eating a stormwal.\n\nNow with the legalities out of the way, the most surprising thing regarding stormwals as a food source, is how comparatively little there is for their respective size. Much of their bulk is occupied by inner flight bladders which are extremely tough and rubbery. While they don't have much flavor, they offer an interesting textural element to a meal. They can be eaten raw after mechanical tenderizing (either through heavily scoring the flesh or by extending pounding) or they can be served cooked by thinly slicing into noodles and stewing for a very long time until it achieves a texture similar to a firm gelatin. Either preparation is traditionally served in a strongly flavored citrus dipping sauce. The cooked version of the bladder can also be fried into a crispy cracker.\n\nThe other main part that can be consumed is the stormwal's fin which has a ring of lean dark meat known for its strong minerally flavor. A raw preparation is the most common with thin slices being marinated in oil, salt and spices. Particular care must be taken to slice against the grain or the fin meat will be almost inedibly tough. Cooking the fin is not recommended as the stormwal's muscle fibers tend to constrict tightly together when exposed to heat and the end result is very dry and fibrous.\n\nXi\u2019an Criminal Houses\nQuestion: This post calls Xi\u2019an criminal houses yu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101, while in the galactapedia article refers to them as Nyayu'a. Was this a xenolinguistics change? Does the first refer to the houses in general and the second refer to the people in those houses(the professional criminals)? I am new to xenolinguistics, and was just looking into the Xi'an lore and noticed this difference.\n\nAnswer: Welcome to the world of xenolinguistics! If you haven't already, be sure to check out the language guides for Banu and Xi'an. Each one has a ton of interesting information about the language and culture of that species, plus a sample dictionary covering common words and phrases. The Xi'an language guide includes the words you're inquiring about. Though both refer to an aspect of criminality, neither literally mean a Xi'an criminal house.\n\nyu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101 - collector (for a loan shark or security bribe) literally: \u2018caregiver for the neighborhood\u2019\n\nNyayu'a - Gangster\n\nSo nyayu'a is an umbrella term, while yu\u2019at.\u014dngh\u2019uit\u0101 refers to a specific type of criminal. The Xi'an language guide also states that the prefix yu\u2019a-______ indicates someone involved in a criminal or quasi-criminal profession, like yu\u2019at.\u014dngya [bodyguard (to a gangster)] or yu\u2019ao.r\u2019o (non-sharpshooter assassin; mercenary). On the culture side, the language guide also advises that, \"If you are ever told about anyone lo nyayu\u2019a, it is probably best not to ask further about who that person is or what they do.\" Though some houses are permitted by the Xi'an government to engage in criminal activities, it's not socially acceptable to talk about it and some Xi'an may even pretend to not know these terms.\n\nHow Is Sewage Dealt With?\nQuestion: Do planets have processing plants that filter it into usable products? Or is it shipped primarily off world and dumped on planets like Hurston?\n\nAnswer: Despite its displeasing attributes, sewage carries value in the universe. Locations would have processing facilities that filter and separate materials based on desired usage, and those byproducts could potentially be used in numerous ways. Exactly how they're handled would be determined by the location's governing body.\n\nFor example, Crusader could have an advanced greywater system to keep its plants alive, ArcCorp could help fuel its planet wide network of factories with Human waste bioreactors, and microTech could combine sewage with other products to process it into something useful, like how recycled material composite (RMC) is a byproduct of salvaging and can be used for minor hull repairs. Meanwhile, Hurston might deem all these solutions as too expensive and simply sell it in bulk to other locations or pay people to take it away, like the current waste disposal missions in-game. Since they're the first planet in Stanton, maybe someday they'll even be looking for contractors willing to dispose of some of those crates of waste by firing them into the sun.\n\nCitizens for Pyro\nQuestion: Observist Lifestyle - Citizens for Pyro details a meeting between a reporter and the leader of a new organization called Citizens for Pyro that aims to establish a haven in Pyro \"within the next five years\". You mentioned in a recent lore Q&A that there will be independent homesteaders, farmers, and the like in Pyro who a lawful player might be more inclined to ally with over the various gangs. Is this Citizens for Pyro group planned to be another faction that lawful players will be able to do missions for in Pyro?\n\nAnswer: Citizens for Pyro is a group of concerned civilians intent on suppressing the criminal forces who control Pyro and use it as a base of operations to attack other systems. The group began by sending forces into Pyro to hunt down criminals but soon realized that these forays did little to address the problem. They believe that expanding the influence and size of non-gang affiliated civilian settlements within Pyro is the only way to alter the course of the system\u2019s future. The more civilians there are living in Pyro, the more commerce will occur and the more resources will be spent on protecting those interests by improving the systems overall safety, stability, and well-being. This plan has garnered interest and support from both companies and private donors who are interested in expanding the economic opportunities in Pyro. While Citizens for Pyro has primarily been a volunteer group based outside the system, this support means they could soon be looking for contractors to aid their goal of establishing and protecting settlements in Pyro. If you have nerves of steel and aren't afraid to take the fight to Pyro's gangs, then definitely keep an eye out for future contracts from Citizens for Pyro."},"links_count":0,"comment_count":0,"created_at":"2023-07-11T21:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"2 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-04-26 13:08:02","valid_relations":["images","links","translations"],"prev_id":19374,"next_id":19376}}
