Vasli Fragment Stone

# The Vasli Fragment Stone
The Vasli Fragment is the only known remnant of a stone stele theorized to have been created on [Terra (Terra III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RL6ZrMrLNa-terra-terra-iii) around 43,000 SEY ago. A script that has yet to be deciphered is engraved upon it on one side. It was most likely sculpted by the original inhabitants of Terra, who disappeared under unknown circumstances millennia before [Human](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) colonization. In the years since it was discovered in 2832, the fragment has been the focus of debate among archaeologists, linguists, and the scientific community.

# Description
The Vasli Fragment is a large granodiorite stone bearing an inscription on the face. The stone is dark grey in tint, with yellow crystalline streaks and swirls. The front surface is polished with an archaic script deeply incised upon it. A splash of silver and spots of polished yellow agate coat the left-side of the fragment, obscuring some of the text. The sides of the stone are smoothed from water erosion and show evidence of having been attached to a larger monument at some point, although no other fragments have ever been discovered.

# Discovery
In the Summer of 2832, the University of Earth at Australia (UEA) conducted an archaeological expedition to Zaffre Bay near [Prime](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RLMmA78vBv-prime) on Terra. The fragment was discovered around 150 km from the city, amid a haul of otherwise unremarkable debris. The leader of the expedition, Dr. Kleina Vasli, identified the markings on the stone as an inscription in an unknown language that she later named Terran A.

The fragment was taken to the Quasi Institute for Xenological Studies (QIXS) for analysis. Dr. Vasli and the linguists at QIXS connected the script to markers found at the Quasi ruins. This was the first time substantial writing samples had been discovered from the civilization that once inhabited Terra (nicknamed "Atlanteans" in popular culture). Over the next two years, linguists attempted to decipher the script but were unable to crack it.

# From Earth to Terran Possession
In 2834, Dr. Vasli brought the fragment back with her to the UEA for further study. This decision was lambasted by the Terran academic community; many Terrans felt that the stone should remain where it was discovered. Upon Dr. Vasli's retirement in 2859, the UEA donated the stone to the Museum of Earth (MOE). It remained on display there for 75 years while the Terran government continually submitted requests for its repatriation.

The Vasli Fragment was finally returned in 2934. To commemorate this event, the Puglisi Collection commissioned Dr. Amelia Kesh, head chair of the Prime Linguistics Institute, and master sculptor Shinji Torusa to construct an exact copy of the Fragment. Replicas were made available for public sale in 2945.

# In Popular Culture
While the purpose of the Vasli Fragment is still unclear, it has been adopted by several movements in popular culture: Terran separatists use it as a symbol of their desire to break away from the [United Empire of Earth](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth), while [Transitionalists](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0OaylwDmvv-transitionalist-party) tout the fragment as evidence that Humanity has many more things left to discover. Fringe groups also claim that the Vasli Fragment details the so-called Atlantean's conscious decision to leave Terra and influence the growth of all known civilizations. As the Fragment has yet to be translated, their claim is spurious at best.

START-->Das Vasli Fragment ist das einzige bekannte Überbleibsel einer Steinstele, von der man annimmt, dass sie vor etwa 43.000 SEY auf Terra (Terra III) erschaffen wurde. Auf einer Seite ist eine Schrift eingraviert, die noch nicht entziffert werden konnte. Sie wurde höchstwahrscheinlich von den ursprünglichen Bewohnern Terras geschaffen, die unter unbekannten Umständen Jahrtausende vor der menschlichen Besiedlung verschwanden. In den Jahren seit seiner Entdeckung im Jahr 2832 hat das Fragment für Diskussionen unter Archäologen, Linguisten und der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft gesorgt.

== Beschreibung ==
Das Vasli Fragment ist ein großer Granodioritstein, der eine Inschrift auf der Vorderseite trägt. Der Stein ist dunkelgrau gefärbt, mit gelben kristallinen Schlieren und Wirbeln. Die Vorderseite ist poliert und trägt eine tief eingeschnittene archaische Schrift. Ein Silberspritzer und Flecken aus poliertem gelbem Achat bedecken die linke Seite des Fragments und verdecken einen Teil des Textes. Die Seiten des Steins sind von der Wassererosion geglättet und zeigen Anzeichen dafür, dass er irgendwann an einem größeren Monument befestigt war, obwohl keine anderen Fragmente jemals entdeckt worden sind.

== Entdeckung ==
Im Sommer 2832 führte die University of Earth at Australia (UEA) eine archäologische Expedition zur Zaffre Bay (Prime, Terra, Terra System) durch. Das Fragment wurde etwa 150 km von Prime entfernt entdeckt, inmitten eines Haufens von ansonsten unscheinbaren Trümmern. Die Leiterin der Expedition, Dr. Kleina Vasli, identifizierte die Markierungen auf dem Stein als eine Inschrift in einer unbekannten Sprache, die sie später Terran A nannte.

Das Fragment wurde zur Analyse an das Quasi-Institut für Xenologische Studien (QIXS) gebracht. Dr. Vasli und die Linguisten des QIXS brachten die Schrift mit Markierungen in Verbindung, die in den Ruinen von Quasi gefunden wurden. Dies war das erste Mal, dass substantielle Schriftproben von der Zivilisation, die einst Terra bewohnte (in der Populärkultur mit dem Spitznamen &quot;Atlanter&quot; versehen), entdeckt worden waren. In den nächsten zwei Jahren versuchten die Linguisten, die Schrift zu entziffern, konnten sie aber nicht knacken.

== Von der Erde zum terranischen Besitz ==
Im Jahr 2834 brachte Dr. Vasli das Fragment mit zur UEA zurück, um es weiter zu untersuchen. Diese Entscheidung wurde von der terranischen akademischen Gemeinschaft abgelehnt; viele Terraner waren der Meinung, dass der Stein dort bleiben sollte, wo er entdeckt wurde. Als Dr. Vasli im Jahr 2859 in den Ruhestand ging, schenkte die UEA den Stein dem Museum of Earth (MOE). Dort blieb er 75 Jahre lang ausgestellt, während die terranische Regierung immer wieder Anträge auf seine Rückführung stellte.

Das Vasli-Fragment wurde schließlich im Jahr 2934 zurückgegeben. Um dieses Ereignis zu feiern, beauftragte die Puglisi Collection Dr. Amelia Kesh, Leiterin des Prime Linguistics Institute, und den Meisterbildhauer Shinji Torusa mit der Anfertigung einer exakten Kopie des Fragments. Repliken wurden 2945 für den öffentlichen Verkauf zur Verfügung gestellt.

== In der Populärkultur ==
Während der Zweck des Vasli-Fragments immer noch unklar ist, wurde es von mehreren Bewegungen in der Populärkultur übernommen: Terranische Separatisten nutzen es als Symbol für ihren Wunsch, sich vom Vereinigten Imperium der Erde zu lösen, während Transitionalisten das Fragment als Beweis dafür anpreisen, dass die Menschheit noch viele Dinge zu entdecken hat. Randgruppen behaupten auch, dass das Vasli-Fragment die bewusste Entscheidung der sogenannten Atlanter beschreibt, Terra zu verlassen und das Wachstum aller bekannten Zivilisationen zu beeinflussen. Da das Fragment noch nicht übersetzt worden ist, ist ihre Behauptung bestenfalls fadenscheinig.{{Quelle|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0dQYZZzdno-vasli-fragment-stone|title=Galactapedia Vasli Fragment Stone|date=08.02.2021|access_date=02.01.2022|ref=true|ref_name=galactapedia}}<!--
