Xi'an-Human First Contact

[Humans](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) and Xi'an first made contact in SEY 2530 when Gaia Planet Services (GPS), a Human [terraforming](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming) corporation, attempted to set up operations on the Th.us'ūng system. Because GPS had illegally entered the system, they neglected to perform the necessary surveys required by law, and were thus unaware that the system was already occupied before they attempted to terraform one of the planets. This activity nearby attracted Xi'an military forces, who seized control of the facility and GPS personnel. For 57 days, the Xi'an held the Humans hostage while negotiating for information from the [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth). Once the UPE capitulated to the [Xi'an Empire's](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0n96JkwNo9-xian-empire) terms, the hostages were released without harm. However, the distrust sown on both sides marked the beginning of the [Xi'an-Human Cold War](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlLjDewkZ-xian-human-cold-war) (2530 - 2793).

Der erste Kontakt zwischen den [Menschen](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) und Xi'an fand im Jahr 2530 statt, als Gaia Planet Services (GPS), ein Terraforming-Unternehmen der Menschen, versuchte, sich im Th.us'ūng-System anzusiedeln. Da GPS illegal in das System eingedrungen war, versäumten sie es, die gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Erhebungen durchzuführen, und wussten daher nicht, dass das System bereits besetzt war, bevor sie versuchten, einen der Planeten zu terraformen. Diese Aktivität in der Nähe zog die Streitkräfte von Xi'an an, die die Kontrolle über die Anlage und das GPS-Personal ergriffen. 57 Tage lang hielten die Xi'an die Menschen als Geiseln, während sie mit den Vereinigten Planeten der Erde (UPE) um Informationen verhandelten. Als die UPE vor den Bedingungen des Xi'an-Imperiums kapitulierte, wurden die Geiseln unbeschadet freigelassen. Doch das Misstrauen, das auf beiden Seiten gesät wurde, markierte den Beginn des [Xi'an-Human Cold War](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlLjDewkZ-xian-human-cold-war) (2530-2792).
