It’s no secret that Earth is set in its ways. Put simply, Earth is the capital of the United Empire of Earth and is the seat of power that governs everything from rising systems like Terra to distant colony worlds. Home to the Imperator and the UEE Senate, Earth sets the standards for everything that happens in the Empire, from moderating economic models to diplomatic relations. While other more strategically located star systems, like Terra, have begun to make claims for higher standing in the Empire, Earth is still the acknowledged center of Humanity. Contrarily, Earth wants for everything. Thousands of years of population growth and extended period of overpopulation in the 21st century have left many of the planet’s natural resources exhausted. The planet imports trillions upon trillions of tons of food, raw metals and manufactured goods to sustain the population. Although the demand is high, so is the competition for haulers and, as it is, a run to Earth can barely be guaranteed to provide much profit … and that’s before you get to the exorbitant docking and refueling fees. On the bright side is the fact that the odds of cargo making it through to the planet safely are relatively high thanks to Sol’s low crime rate. The UEE military, Advocacy and various police patrol the system ceaselessly and the Navy dockyards in Earth’s orbit are home port to no less than five Bengal-class carriers and at least one is drydocked at any given time. New York New York is the cultural capital of the UEE, an imperial tastemaker and a celebrated blending of both old-style architecture and ultra-modern arcology construction. Most visitors immediately take note of the protected historical landmarks such as the Empire State Building, the Gryphon and Central Park that continue to exist amidst a modern landscape of massive supertowers. New Yorkers have earned a reputation over the centuries for elitism and many who populate the city — even those who have never left the planet — still fancy themselves cosmopolitan people-of-the galaxy. As such, there is an active market for cultural trinkets from distant stars. Trendy New York galleries happily display everything from a Tevarin Codex of Rijora to damaged Xi’an engine coils … a vivid example of one person’s trash being another’s treasure. If you’re on the prowl for a particularly rare upgrade or an extremely special commodity, the shopping district surrounding New York’s spaceport is the place to seek it. New York is also home to Roberts Space Industries’ headquarter complex, featuring a showroom and museum. Many visitors make it a point to pay their respects upon arriving in the port, celebrating RSI’s involvement in introducing Humankind to the stars. Moscow Moscow is a no-nonsense kind of town with more of an urban blue-collar vibe than New York. Moscow is a major distribution center for manufactured goods, in particular jump engines and thrusters produced in the factory complexes that span the Urals. Goods are moved into the city for dispersal to the stars through a system of high-speed transport trains. Down on their luck spacers can always find hard work in the Moscow dockyards, which account for the vast majority of Earth’s export shipping. Despite this, the city tends to have a taste for the opulent and luxury goods sell as well as anything can on Earth. Shanghai The largest landing port in Asia, Shanghai has retained more of a link to the surrounding environment than the vast cityscapes of Moscow or New York. Shanghai boasts rail and transit lines stretching to the nearby East China sea, a port region capable of water-docking some larger types of spacecraft. The Aegis China factory produces Idris-class frigates and puts them through their pre-space trials in the area. Erde: Wiege der Menschheit, Herz des Imperiums, Geburtsort der Menschheit.... und ein schwieriger Ort, um Gewinne zu erzielen. Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass die Erde in ihren Bahnen liegt. Einfach ausgedrückt, ist die Erde die Hauptstadt des Vereinigten Reiches der Erde und der Sitz der Macht, der alles regiert, von aufsteigenden Systemen wie Terra bis hin zu fernen Koloniewelten. Die Erde, die Heimat des Imperators und des UEE-Senats, setzt die Standards für alles, was im Imperium geschieht, von der Moderation der Wirtschaftsmodelle bis hin zu diplomatischen Beziehungen. Während andere strategisch günstigere Sternensysteme, wie Terra, begonnen haben, Ansprüche auf einen höheren Rang im Imperium zu erheben, ist die Erde immer noch das anerkannte Zentrum der Menschheit. Im Gegensatz dazu will die Erde alles. Jahrtausende des Bevölkerungswachstums und der langen Zeit der Überbevölkerung im 21. Jahrhundert haben viele der natürlichen Ressourcen des Planeten erschöpft. Der Planet importiert Billionen und Billionen Tonnen Lebensmittel, Rohmetalle und Industriegüter, um die Bevölkerung zu versorgen. Obwohl die Nachfrage hoch ist, ist auch der Wettbewerb um Schlepper und ein Lauf zur Erde kaum zu garantieren, um viel Gewinn zu erzielen.... und das ist, bevor man zu den exorbitanten Andock- und Tankgebühren kommt. Auf der anderen Seite ist die Tatsache, dass die Chancen, dass die Ladung sicher auf den Planeten gelangt, dank der niedrigen Kriminalitätsrate von Sol relativ hoch sind. Das UEE-Militär, die Anwaltschaft und verschiedene Polizisten patrouillieren unaufhörlich das System und die Werften der Marine im Erdorbit sind Heimathafen von nicht weniger als fünf Bengal-Carriern, und mindestens einer ist jederzeit im Trockendock. New York New York ist die kulturelle Hauptstadt der UEE, ein kaiserlicher Geschmacksmacher und eine gefeierte Mischung aus alter Architektur und hochmoderner Arcology-Konstruktion. Die meisten Besucher bemerken sofort die denkmalgeschützten Sehenswürdigkeiten wie das Empire State Building, den Greif und den Central Park, die inmitten einer modernen Landschaft mit massiven Supertürmen weiter bestehen. Die New Yorker haben sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einen Ruf als Elitisten erworben, und viele, die die Stadt bevölkern - selbst diejenigen, die den Planeten nie verlassen haben - haben immer noch Lust auf weltoffene Menschen der Galaxie. Als solches gibt es einen aktiven Markt für kulturelle Schmuckstücke von fernen Sternen. Trendige New Yorker Galerien zeigen gerne alles, von einem Tevarin-Kodex von Rijora bis hin zu beschädigten Xi'an-Motorspulen.... ein anschauliches Beispiel dafür, dass der Müll einer Person der Schatz einer anderen ist. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem besonders seltenen Upgrade oder einer ganz besonderen Ware sind, ist das Einkaufsviertel um den Raumhafen von New York der richtige Ort, um es zu finden. In New York befindet sich auch der Hauptsitz von Roberts Space Industries mit einem Showroom und einem Museum. Viele Besucher machen es sich zur Pflicht, bei der Ankunft im Hafen ihren Respekt zu zollen und das Engagement von RSI zu feiern, die Menschheit an die Sterne heranzuführen. Moskau Moskau ist eine nüchterne Stadt mit mehr urbanem Blue-Collar-Vibe als New York. Moskau ist ein wichtiges Distributionszentrum für Industrieerzeugnisse, insbesondere für Sprungtriebwerke und Triebwerke, die in den Fabrikkomplexen im Ural produziert werden. Die Waren werden in die Stadt gebracht, um über ein System von Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen an die Sterne zu gelangen. In den Moskauer Werften, die den überwiegenden Teil der Exportschifffahrt der Erde ausmachen, finden Abstandshalter immer harte Arbeit. Dennoch tendiert die Stadt dazu, einen Vorgeschmack auf die opulenten und luxuriösen Waren zu haben, die sich so gut verkaufen lassen wie alles andere auf der Welt. Shanghai Der größte Landungshafen Asiens, Shanghai, hat sich mehr als die riesigen Stadtlandschaften von Moskau oder New York eine Verbindung zur Umgebung bewahrt. Shanghai verfügt über Eisenbahn- und Transitstrecken, die sich bis zum nahen Ostchinesischen Meer erstrecken, einer Hafenregion, die in der Lage ist, einige größere Arten von Raumfahrzeugen mit Wasser zu versorgen. Die Fabrik von Aegis China produziert Fregatten der Idris-Klasse und führt sie durch ihre Vorraumversuche in der Region.
