I usually have to save these up for when enough have piled up to send them out, but now that we have the forum i can post them right as they are written.
Today one detailed description of one of the big seven colonies (especially interesting for all AI units) and a little entry about a location on earth, enjoy.
--Joyu--
Joyu is one of the younger colonies among the Seven Stars and based on a revolutionary new concept of understanding humanity itself.
As new information leads to innovation, unbalancing economical and social structures, Joyu has introduced a unique system of economic and social isolation. Commerce does not exist, as Joyu inhabitants dedicate their lives towards undirectional information mining.
It is the fundamental believe that the universe consists of matter, energy and information and the natural human need to gather the first two ressources is dissolved by other colonies, which supply Joyu with a constant flow of energy and material on a regular basis. In exchange for this unconditional service those colonies get access to all information that is generated within Joyu and while their profit is determined by their own success of sorting through the data and understanding it, most of the time it's considered a true bargain. Several of humanities biggest scientifical successes in the last century originated from this unique human society and thereas they enjoy big influence within the UCE.
Joyu inhabitants rarely interact with the outside world, except for a few individuals who decided to turn their backs on home to seek out answers elsewhere.
If an individual from there is encountered it's usually in the form of an AI. AI-units originate from Joyu where this technology has been developed and it is still not fully understood by the outside world. At this point even the political interaction of Joyu with other human colonies is handled exclusivly by AI-units, so the colony itself is not corrupted by outside influences again, while it is still recovering from the consequences of the last war.
--Vertigo--
Vertigo is the biggest human settlement in history, located back on earth. It is also the biggest construction ever crafted by humanity and is often seen as a symbol for everything that humans have achieved.
Originally crafted as spaceport it has kept growing over centuries. It started out as giant atmospheric column, connecting the land directly with space for easy transport of materials. Today it has grown into a giant tube, the sides being inhabitated by humans way up into the mesosphere. Vertigo is famous for its spectacular grav-races, which cannot be performed anywhere else in the human universe.
