Official government documentation list the Navy’s 18th Battle Fleet, then stationed in the Kellog System, as the first to make the journey into Chronos upon discovery of the jump point during a routine scan patrol. However, it is worth noting that a recent court case, Contraly vs the UEE, lays a counter claim that it was Contraly’s great-grandfather who discovered the system and reported it to the 18th, but was denied proper credit due to complications involving an outstanding warrant for poaching Orms on Xis. Expert historians have chimed in on both sides of the debate, and it as yet remains in the court’s hands to decide. Either way, at the time of discovery, the system consisted of a G-type main sequence star, two uninhabitable planets huddled near the sun and nothing else. With its remote location and lack of resources and habitable locations, few thought the UEE would have any interest in the system, so observers were shocked when the UEE quickly claimed Chronos to be restricted for government use and development. When military ships started to frequently enter an empty system, curious members of the public questioned what was really going on in Chronos. For years, theories ranged from the unimaginative (doomsday device) to the inspired (invisible space station). One dedicated conspiracy theorist supposedly even went so far as to stow away on a military vessel bound for the system. When she later claimed that there was nothing hidden there, her inability to uncover anything scandalous infuriated her fellow theorists and only fueled the fire of speculation. The claim was that the only way she would have found absolutely nothing is if there was something to hide and the government had again silenced the truth. Those who believed in the cover-up were even more certain that there had to be a reason the UEE wanted Chronos to themselves. It wasn’t until 2872 that Imperator Corbyn Salehi stepped forward to formally announce what the government had been working on. Chronos would become the home of Project Archangel, commonly called “Synthworld,” a massive UEE initiative to build a planet. After centuries of rewriting planets with terraforming technology, Humanity now set its sights on creating one. PROJECT ARCHANGEL Many things about the Chronos System made it an ideal location for this ambitious project. The star’s similarity to Sol’s sun made it optimal for human habitation. Its two planets were desolate rocks, meaning that the massive undertaking would not inconvenience any inhabitants, nor would the decades of construction and experiments endanger anyone not associated with the project. The lack of planets outside of Bruder and Schwester allowed the Synthworld to be placed at the ideal orbital distance from the star. It had the added benefit of being a relatively remote system, which minimized the chances of unwanted visitors and prying eyes. When the project was announced, it symbolized a future where Humanity could create habitable worlds without the risk of harming other species. Haulers made the long trek to take resources into the system even if profits margins were higher elsewhere. Scholars expounded at length what the success of Archangel could mean to the Empire’s future. And civilians in every system excitedly waited for a new world to be born. Yet as the decades passed, the promise of the Synthworld seemed to wane along with the public’s interest. Despite billions of hours and credits spent, the planet seemed no closer to completion. The project became tainted with corruption scandals and cost overruns, leading some progressive Transitionalist to call it a “financial vampire” that was draining money and resources from more important projects. The Synthworld no longer symbolized the future; it was putting it in jeopardy. Today, Chronos sees a minimal amount of traffic. Haulers still offload supplies at Archangel Station and some traverse the system along the designated travel lanes to access the Branaugh System. Past that, there are few other reason for people to find themselves in the Chronos System. TRAVEL WARNING Though the Synthworld is in unrestricted space, all Synthworld business must go through Archangel Station. Anyone attempting to access the Synthworld directly will be met by members of 18th Battle Group and asked to divert course or face dire consequences. Further Data Unavailable CHRONOS I (Bruder) Sitting in a tight orbit around Chrono’s sun, Bruder experiences scalding surface temperatures. Metallic ores are present in the planet’s crust, but the intense heat has kept the UEE from mining the minerals for use in the Synthworld. CHRONOS II (Schwester) Schwester is known for its role in one of the most infamous political scandals in UEE history. In 2925, a Senate attache was tasked with creating a progress report for an independent auditing committee. She discovered that the harvesting and refining facilities that were supposed to have been built to collect the greenhouse gasses trapped by Schwester’s dense atmosphere had in fact never been constructed. It seemed a senior foreman on the project, Ellie Kanis, had been skimming from the vast project fund undetected for years. Public outrage over the Kanis Caper only intensified as publications, like the Terra Gazette, quantified the amount taken in graphs splashed across the front page. For the first time, many in the public grasped exactly how much money the Synthworld construction cost the Empire. The Synthworld’s sluggish construction pace and the ballooning government deficit drove many within the Empire to question whether the project was still worth it. CHRONOS III (Synthworld) The defining feature of the Chronos System, Synthworld, also known as Project Archangel, is Humanity’s attempt to construct a planet from scratch. This ambitious idea originated with the Clarke Committee, a government task force assigned to envision a “more perfect future for Humanity” in light of the massacre of Garron II. If the Empire could build its own worlds, there would no longer be a need for the risk of destroying fledging life that terraforming presented. In the second half of the 29th century, the UEE was looking to redefine its status in the universe. The Messer regime had been overthrown almost a century earlier, but greed and corruption still festered within the government. Amidst this uncertainty, Corbyn Salehi rode a wave of reform into the Imperator’s office, campaigning on a platform of open, honest and ambitious government. Proving himself to be a man of action, not just words, Salehi latched onto the Clarke Committee’s most fantastic proposal – a man-made planet. He believed if Humanity rallied around an ambitious goal it could progress past the petty differences holding it back. Salehi’s optimism was infectious, allowing him to garner the necessary public and political support. For decades, even after he no longer held the office of Imperator, Salehi and his vision sustained people’s faith in the project. Unfortunately, Salehi died in 2922 from unexpected complications with his artificial pancreas. Without his guiding force, the Synthworld effort has fallen on hard times. Today, construction on the Synthworld continues. Updates on the project have become less frequently, but government scientists and engineers claim to be making progress. Many still hold hope that the bold face of Humanity’s future will yet emerge from Chronos. Whether Synthworld becomes one of Humanity’s greatest successes or failures is still to be decided. ARCHANGEL STATION This orbital station is the nerve center for Synthworld construction. Home to the project’s scientists and engineers, it is also the port of entry for supplies and resources needed to build the planet and keep the crew content. With a steady amount of cargo moving through this sector, added to the sensitive nature of the project, the Navy’s 18th Battle Fleet calls Archangel Station home when not on patrol. Included in the 18th Battle Fleet is the 999th Test Squadron. Known as “The Wreckless,” this elite squadron is famous for testing experimental ships and components. The vast expanse beyond Archangel Station, with limited engagements there, has proven to be an ideal testing ground for potential tech the Navy hopes to incorporate into its arsenal. It seems fitting that the Navy’s most forward looking squadron calls the Empire’s most forward looking system home. HEARD IN THE WIND “For too long Humanity has lacked a cohesive goal to inspire us to achieve the impossible. Centuries ago, the idea of anyone visiting Earth’s moon, let alone leaving the system, seemed like only a dream. Though Humanity has gone far, our goals have stayed grounded. It’s time to change that.” - Corbyn Salehi, Synthworld announcement press conference, 2872 “At least I was doing something useful with the credits.” - Ellie Kanis, as quoted in “The Synthworld Scam”, 2931 Galaktischer Leitfaden: Chronos System Synthworld Im Außenbereich der UEE befindet sich das Chronos-System, das seit seiner Entdeckung im Jahr 2863 von Staatsgeheimnis und politischen Kontroversen umhüllt ist. Offizielle Regierungsdokumente listen die 18. Kampfflotte der Marine auf, die damals im Kellog-System stationiert war, als erste, die die Reise nach Chronos unternahm, nachdem sie den Sprungpunkt während einer Routinescanpatrouille entdeckt hatte. Es ist jedoch erwähnenswert, dass ein kürzlich stattgefundenes Gerichtsverfahren, Contraly gegen die UEE, eine Gegenbehauptung vorbringt, dass es Contralys Urgroßvater war, der das System entdeckt und an den 18. gemeldet hat, dem aber aufgrund von Komplikationen, die einen ausstehenden Haftbefehl für die Wilderei von Orms auf Xis mit sich bringen, die ordnungsgemäße Anerkennung verweigert wurde. Expertenhistoriker haben auf beiden Seiten der Debatte eingeläutet, und es liegt noch in den Händen des Gerichts, zu entscheiden. So oder so, zum Zeitpunkt der Entdeckung, bestand das System aus einem G-artigen Hauptreihenstern, zwei unbewohnbaren Planeten, die sich in der Nähe der Sonne kauern und nichts anderem. Mit seiner abgelegenen Lage und dem Mangel an Ressourcen und bewohnbaren Standorten dachten nur wenige, dass die UEE irgendein Interesse an dem System haben würde, so dass Beobachter schockiert waren, als die UEE schnell behauptete, Chronos sei für die Nutzung und Entwicklung durch die Regierung eingeschränkt. Als Militärschiffe häufig in ein leeres System einzogen, fragten neugierige Bürger, was in Chronos wirklich vor sich ging. Jahrelang reichten die Theorien von der Einfallslosen (Weltuntergangsmaschine) bis zur inspirierten (unsichtbaren Raumstation). Ein engagierter Verschwörungstheoretiker soll sogar so weit gegangen sein, auf einem Militärschiff, das für das System bestimmt ist, zu verstauen. Als sie später behauptete, dass dort nichts verborgen sei, wütend machte ihre Unfähigkeit, etwas Skandalöses aufzudecken, ihre Theoretiker-Kollegen und schürte nur das Feuer der Spekulation. Die Behauptung war, dass sie nur dann absolut nichts gefunden hätte, wenn es etwas zu verbergen gäbe und die Regierung die Wahrheit wieder zum Schweigen gebracht hätte. Diejenigen, die an die Vertuschung glaubten, waren sich noch sicherer, dass es einen Grund geben musste, warum die UEE Chronos für sich selbst wollte. Erst 2872 trat Imperator Corbyn Salehi vor, um offiziell bekannt zu geben, woran die Regierung gearbeitet hatte. Chronos würde die Heimat des Project Archangel werden, das allgemein als "Synthworld" bezeichnet wird, einer massiven UEE-Initiative zum Aufbau eines Planeten. Nach jahrhundertelangem Umschreiben von Planeten mit Terraforming-Technologie hat sich die Menschheit nun vorgenommen, einen Planeten zu erschaffen. PROJEKT ERZENGEL Viele Dinge am Chronos-System machten es zu einem idealen Standort für dieses ehrgeizige Projekt. Die Ähnlichkeit des Sterns mit Sol's Sonne machte ihn optimal für die menschliche Lebensweise. Seine beiden Planeten waren verlassene Felsen, was bedeutet, dass das gewaltige Unterfangen keine Bewohner belästigen würde, noch würden die jahrzehntelangen Bau- und Experimentierarbeiten jemanden gefährden, der nicht mit dem Projekt in Verbindung steht. Der Mangel an Planeten außerhalb von Bruder und Schwester ermöglichte es, die Synth-Welt auf die ideale Umlaufbahn zum Stern zu bringen. Es hatte den zusätzlichen Vorteil, dass es sich um ein relativ entferntes System handelte, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit von unerwünschten Besuchern und neugierigen Blicken minimierte. Als das Projekt angekündigt wurde, symbolisierte es eine Zukunft, in der die Menschheit bewohnbare Welten schaffen konnte, ohne die Gefahr, anderen Arten zu schaden. Die Schlepper machten den langen Weg, um Ressourcen in das System einzubringen, auch wenn die Gewinnmargen anderswo höher waren. Gelehrte erläuterten ausführlich, was der Erfolg des Erzengels für die Zukunft des Reiches bedeuten könnte. Und Zivilisten in jedem System warteten gespannt darauf, dass eine neue Welt geboren werden würde. Doch im Laufe der Jahrzehnte schien das Versprechen der Synthworld mit dem Interesse der Öffentlichkeit zu schwinden. Trotz Milliarden von Stunden und Credits schien der Planet nicht näher an der Fertigstellung zu sein. Das Projekt wurde von Korruptionsskandalen und Kostenüberschreitungen heimgesucht, was dazu führte, dass einige progressive Transitionalisten es einen "finanziellen Vampir" nannten, der Geld und Ressourcen aus wichtigeren Projekten abzog. Die Synth-Welt symbolisierte nicht mehr die Zukunft, sie stellte sie in Frage. Heute sieht Chronos eine minimale Menge an Traffic. Schlepper entladen immer noch Vorräte an der Erzengelstation und einige durchqueren das System entlang der vorgesehenen Fahrspuren, um auf das Branaugh-System zuzugreifen. Darüber hinaus gibt es nur wenige andere Gründe für Menschen, sich im Chronos-System wiederzufinden. REISEWARNUNG Obwohl sich die Synthworld in unbegrenztem Raum befindet, muss das gesamte Synthworld-Geschäft über die Erzengelstation laufen. Jeder, der versucht, direkt auf die Synthworld zuzugreifen, wird von Mitgliedern der 18. Battle Group empfangen und gebeten, den Kurs umzuleiten oder schreckliche Konsequenzen zu tragen. Weitere Daten nicht verfügbar CHRONOS I (Bruder) Bruder sitzt in einer engen Umlaufbahn um die Sonne von Chrono und erlebt verbrühende Oberflächentemperaturen. Metallische Erze sind in der Erdkruste vorhanden, aber die intensive Hitze hat die UEE davon abgehalten, die Mineralien für den Einsatz in der Synth-Welt abzubauen. CHRONOS II (Schwester) Schwester ist bekannt für seine Rolle in einem der berüchtigsten politischen Skandale in der Geschichte der UEE. In 2925 wurde ein Senatsattaché beauftragt, einen Fortschrittsbericht für einen unabhängiges Audit Committee. Sie entdeckte, dass die Ernte- und Veredelungsanlagen, die eigentlich gebaut werden sollten, um die eingeschlossenen Treibhausgase zu sammeln. durch Schwester's dichte Atmosphäre war in der Tat nie gebaut worden. Es schien, als hätte ein leitender Polier des Projekts, Ellie Kanis, jahrelang unbemerkt aus dem riesigen Projektfonds geschöpft. Die öffentliche Empörung über den Kanis Caper verschärfte sich nur noch, da Publikationen wie die Terra Gazette den Betrag quantifizierten, der in Grafiken aufgenommen wurde, die über die Titelseite sprangen. Zum ersten Mal begriffen viele in der Öffentlichkeit genau, wie viel Geld der Synthworld-Bau das Imperium kostete. Das schleppende Bautempo der Synthworld und das aufblähende Staatsdefizit ließen viele innerhalb des Imperiums fragen, ob sich das Projekt noch gelohnt hatte. CHRONOS III (Synthworld) Das entscheidende Merkmal des Chronos-Systems, Synthworld, auch bekannt als Project Archangel, ist der Versuch der Menschheit, einen Planeten von Grund auf neu zu konstruieren. Diese ehrgeizige Idee entstand mit dem Clarke Committee, einer Regierungsarbeitsgruppe, die sich angesichts des Massakers von Garron II eine "perfektere Zukunft für die Menschheit" vorstellen sollte. Wenn das Imperium seine eigenen Welten aufbauen könnte, gäbe es keine Notwendigkeit mehr, das Risiko zu zerstören, flüchtendes Leben zu zerstören, das das Terraforming darstellt. In der zweiten Hälfte des 29. Jahrhunderts versuchte die UEE, ihren Status im Universum neu zu definieren. Das Messer-Regime war fast ein Jahrhundert zuvor gestürzt worden, aber Gier und Korruption schwärmten immer noch innerhalb der Regierung. Inmitten dieser Unsicherheit ritt Corbyn Salehi eine Reformwelle in das Büro des Imperators und kämpfte auf einer Plattform einer offenen, ehrlichen und ehrgeizigen Regierung. Salehi erwies sich als ein Mann der Tat, nicht nur der Worte, sondern auch des fantastischen Vorschlags des Clarke Committee - ein künstlicher Planet. Er glaubte, wenn sich die Menschheit um ein ehrgeiziges Ziel versammelt, das sie über die kleinen Differenzen hinausgehen könnte, die sie zurückhalten. Salehis Optimismus war ansteckend, so dass er die notwendige öffentliche und politische Unterstützung erhalten konnte. Jahrzehnte lang, auch nachdem er das Amt des Imperators nicht mehr innehatte, haben Salehi und seine Vision den Glauben der Menschen an das Projekt gestützt. Leider starb Salehi 2922 an unerwarteten Komplikationen mit seiner künstlichen Bauchspeicheldrüse. Ohne seine Führungsstärke ist die Synthworld-Bemühung in schwere Zeiten gefallen. Heute wird an der Synthworld weiter gebaut. Die Aktualisierungen des Projekts sind seltener geworden, aber Regierungswissenschaftler und Ingenieure behaupten, Fortschritte zu machen. Viele hoffen immer noch, dass das mutige Gesicht der Zukunft der Menschheit noch aus Chronos hervorgehen wird. Ob Synthworld zu einem der größten Erfolge oder Misserfolge der Menschheit wird, muss noch entschieden werden. ERZENGELSTATION Diese Orbitalstation ist das Nervenzentrum für den Bau der Synthworld. Als Heimat der Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure des Projekts ist es auch der Anlaufpunkt für Lieferungen und Ressourcen, die für den Aufbau des Planeten und die Erhaltung der Crew-Inhalte benötigt werden. Da sich eine konstante Menge an Ladung durch diesen Sektor bewegt, was zur Sensibilität des Projekts beiträgt, ruft die 18. Kampfflotte der Marine die Erzengelstation an, wenn sie nicht auf Patrouille ist. Zur 18. Kampfflotte gehört auch die 999. Teststaffel. Diese Elitegeschwader, die als "The Wreckless" bekannt ist, ist berühmt für das Testen von Versuchsschiffen und Komponenten. Die riesige Weite jenseits der Archangel Station, mit begrenzten Engagements dort, hat sich als ideales Testgelände für potenzielle Technologien erwiesen, die die Marine in ihr Arsenal aufnehmen möchte. Es scheint passend zu sein, dass das am meisten zukunftsorientierte Geschwader der Marine das am meisten zukunftsorientierte System des Imperiums als Zuhause bezeichnet. IM WIND GEHÖRT "Zu lange fehlte der Menschheit ein kohärentes Ziel, um uns zu inspirieren, das Unmögliche zu erreichen. Vor Jahrhunderten schien die Idee, dass jeder den Mond der Erde besuchen und geschweige denn das System verlassen sollte, nur ein Traum zu sein. Obwohl die Menschheit weit gegangen ist, haben sich unsere Ziele nicht verändert. Es ist Zeit, das zu ändern." - Corbyn Salehi, Synthworld Ankündigung Pressekonferenz, 2872 "Wenigstens habe ich etwas Nützliches mit den Credits gemacht." - Ellie Kanis, wie in "The Synthworld Scam", 2931 zitiert.
