	The most common settlements under Europa’s ice fall under a loosely-organized category best defined as “civilian stations.” These stations range in population from only a few thousand to several million residents, and vary widely in quality. These are some of the oldest settlements on Europa, and are often connected to nearby research, tourism, or industrial stations. The highest-quality civilian stations are often shared between Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, which uses their attractive housing to attract new employees and encourage transfers to the Europan branch of the corporation, and Idris Incorporated, which utilizes them as tourist attractions for the moon. Lower-quality civilian stations often suffer from a variety of issues, such as heating problems and leaks in the hull - problems on any Europan station, but ones that become far worse when one’s home is barely breaking even.

	Most research stations on Europa are owned and operated by Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Advanced submarines come and go from them, heading off to a myriad of locations in the murky depths of the moon’s oceans - some never to return. These state-of-the-art facilities vary in size from small observation outposts to facilities that are cities unto themselves, and some are rumored to only be accessible by high-ranking Zeng-Hu personnel. What goes on in these Europan “blacksites” is not known to the general public. ~~Zheng~~-Hu operated stations provide a source of employment for the Europa’s population, and the megacorporation is known to possess the largest submarine fleet of any faction on the moon. Zeng-Hu submarines are known to go on longer expeditions and go further into the poorly-charted depths of the Europan Sea than any other vessels. Incidents of “Deep Crazy” are an unfortunate fact of life in these research stations, but Zeng-Hu is known to pay extremely well for contracts on Europa.

	Located in orbit around Jupiter in the Sol System, the icy body of '''Europa''' is the first location where humanity discovered extraterrestrial life. The harsh and inhospitable environment of the moon has led to its population remaining relatively small even in the present day. Due to the immense radiation that constantly strikes the moon's surface, Europa's three hundred million residents exist in one of the most unique environments in the entire Sol Alliance: beneath the outer ice sheet, submerged in the waters of the Europan Sea. This environment is at best poorly understood, and more is being discovered about the moon every day. However, the population believes that some secrets should perhaps be left unknown in its inky depths.

	In '''2365''' the role of ‘Psionic Navigator’ became standard on Europan vessels. The innovation of ‘psionic radar’, where Skrell utilise their psionic abilities to detect the psionic signatures of the creatures found within Europa’s depths, drove up the demand for Skrell submariners and led to many lucrative contracts being given to Skrell willing to work on Europa. The discovery was capitalised by [[Zeng-Hu_Pharmaceuticals\|Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] as they brought in Skrell straight from the Federation to work on Europa, going so far as to establish their own Psionic Navigator corps. Zeng-Hu today hires out its Navigators to any group that is able to afford their exorbitant prices, and thanks to their early investment the company has a near-monopoly of Psionic Navigators on Europa.

	Although the role became common aboard most Europan vessels, the discovery of neurological disorders associated with the role did not occur until long after its formation. In '''2410''' Europan researchers formally named the disorder '''Europan Sea-Blindness''', while academic disagreements caused ~~Jargon~~ scientists to categorise the disorder under [[Skrell_Ailments#Insanity_of_the_Tide\|'''Insanity of the Tide''']] - a neurological disease that is compared to Alzheimer's or dementia in Humans and is associated with issues related to memory, behaviour, and thinking. While still not fully understood, Europan Sea-Blindness is thought to be caused by a combination of extreme stress as a result of living standards on Europa and extended, high-intensity use of psionics, which manifests physically as organ atrophy and neuron degradation in the area around the zona bovinae. Those who are affected by the disorder report many of the same symptoms as those suffering from '''Insanity of the Tide''', as well as a decrease in psionic capability.

	It could take decades of prolonged psionics use for these symptoms to develop, however, and since the disorder and its causes are not fully understood it does not dissuade many Skrell from becoming Psionic Navigators themselves.

Those afflicted with the disorder are known as the '''"Sea-Blinded"''', as they typically have an extremely decreased ability to use their psionics. These navigators are considered ‘retired’ and tend to move - or be moved - away from submariner life, although those who are not severely afflicted are known to continue crewing all manner of vessels in other roles. The [[Stellar_Corporate_Conglomerate\|SCC]] in particular is known to hire former navigators as Bridge Crew aboard their ships, putting their years of experience navigating the dangerous waters of Europa to use.

	Despite the lack of interest in Europa, the moon did have a small Skrell population from at least the '''2340s'''. These Skrell were considered ‘adrenaline junkies’ by Skrellian standards; they came to Europa as a form of tourism, wishing to experience the dangerous reputation of Europa’s ocean for themselves and took to signing on with any vessel that would have them. In spite of their eagerness, these Skrell had little luck in signing up with the larger organisations on Europa, mostly in part to a lack of interest in accommodating another species when resources and space are at a premium. The vessels that would accept Skrell crewmembers were mostly owned by independent contractors or smaller organisations that did not have the luxury of being selective of those who sign up with them.

	The species as a whole stayed disinterested in Europa until the '''2360s'''.

One story mentions a Skrell that was able to navigate a Cave Crab infested cavern when their submarine’s navigation equipment broke down, and another story describes a Skrell crewman notifying their captain of an encroaching Bone Whale heading straight for their submarine, well before their navigator could have reported it. While Humanity was aware of the psionic abilities Skrell had by this point, neither species considered its use in navigation to be practical until these rumours began; attempting to employ unassisted, consistent psionic navigation was never considered feasible by the Skrell due to the mental strain of long-term psionics use, while humanity at this point was still largely unaware of the psionic potential of the Skrell. These rumours changed the common opinion of psionic application in submersible vessels, and by '''2365''' demand for Skrell crew surged, which led to very lucrative contracts being offered to any Skrell willing to work on the moon. Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals in particular invested heavily into the boom, and utilised their relationship with the ~~Jargon~~ Federation to recruit scores of Skrell to work exclusively with Zeng-Hu within their Navigator Corps.

Skrell on Europa

← Предыдущая версия		Версия от 09:33, 18 июня 2022
Строка 94:		Строка 94:
	== Skrell on Europa ==		== Skrell on Europa ==

	~~Despite~~ Europa ~~being colonized two centuries before the discovery of the~~ Skrell~~, it has since managed to become a "hub" for skrellian individuals seeking opportunities~~ within the [[~~Sol Alliance~~\| ~~Solarian Alliance~~]]. ~~This can mostly be attributed to their psionic abilities that assist~~ the ~~submarine crew in detecting psionic signatures~~ of ~~the creatures found within the depths~~ of ~~the Europan seas~~.		Europa was largely ignored by Skrell who travelled within Human space in the years following [[Timeline#First_Contact\|first contact]]. The moon’s inhospitable nature resulted in little if any Skrell presence for decades. Until the '''2360s''' Skrell were a rarity on Europa, with most Skrell only living there temporarily as part of their work assignment or as part of a diplomatic attache.

	~~Over~~ the ~~last few decades~~, ~~budding splices~~ of ~~both skrellian~~ and ~~human culture~~ have ~~begun~~ to ~~sprout~~. The ~~introduction~~ of the ~~studiousness of skrellian society has rubbed off on the various generations that have grown up alongside these aliens, propped up by~~ [[~~Zeng~~-~~Hu Pharmaceuticals~~]] ~~shortly after they began operating within~~ the ~~frigid waters of~~ Europa. ~~It is not an uncommon sight for research and/or civilian stations~~ to ~~grapple with one another~~ in ~~terms~~ of their ~~research~~ -- ~~often leading to "rivalries" amongst~~ the ~~skrellian researchers~~. ~~Whilst many considered this to~~ be typical of "Lu'Poxii", skrellian contemporary researchers based on Europa have instead begun using '''"Poxii'ttiq"''' which when translated directly is '''"Corrivals"''' which represents that equal claim that they have of the ~~abundance~~ of ~~knowledge still to be found~~.		Life here for Skrell reflects the typical Europan experience; cramped living spaces, arduous working conditions, and the constant danger that comes with living in an underwater habitat. In addition to all this, Skrell are unable to stargaze as part of their religious practices; the inability to observe and interpret the stars compounded with everything else has made Europan living especially difficult for Skrell. This has been largely offset by appealing employment contracts by the wealthier organisations on Europa, who are able to afford the salaries and benefits required to retain Skrell workers despite the conditions they would have to live in. The rise to prominence of the [[Skrell_Faith#Qwei’Paqui_-_Astrological_Tarot_Cards\|Qwei’Paqui]], the tarot card system usually supplemental to stargazing in the [[Skrell_Faith\|Qeblak and Weishii faiths]], has also helped acclimate those living on Europa. While the tarot allows Skrell to continue their religious observations despite being so deep undersea, it has also inadvertently resulted in the Skrell of Europa obsessing over their readings; as the tarot readings are considered a personal and intimate affair the Skrell have developed an unhealthy habit where they heavily rely on the tarot in their day-to-day lives, an obsession which soon developed into the Skrell adopting pre-existing Europan superstitions. Today the Qwei’Paqui can be commonly seen being paired with bone charms and other accessories by Skrell in the hopes of improving their fortunes.

	~~Whilst~~ Skrell are ~~seemingly "immune"~~ to the ~~effects~~ of '''High-Depth Antisocial Personality Disorder''' or '''"Deep Crazy"''' ~~there have been various uncoverings~~ of Skrell ~~developing~~ neurological ~~diseases~~ that ~~can ultimately lead~~ to ~~psionic insufficiency~~ and ~~psionic deafness~~. ~~Whilst there~~ is ~~no concrete evidence linking it~~ to ~~their presence~~ on Europa, many ~~believe~~ that ~~their resistance~~ to the ~~effects of~~ the '''"~~Deep Crazy~~"''' ~~merely manifests~~ as ~~physical symptoms that ultimately damage~~ their ~~Zona Bovinae after~~ years of navigating the ~~crevices~~ of Europa with ~~the use~~ of their ~~psionics. Those afflicted~~ with ~~such~~ are ~~often referred to~~ by ~~many~~ as the '''~~"Sea~~-~~Blinded"~~'''.		Skrell from other parts of the Spur often describe Europan Skrell as being ‘on-edge’, ‘anxious’, and even ‘disconnected’ because of how life on Europa has shaped them; they are known for their irritability and anxious disposition while travelling Europa’s waters, and it is not uncommon for Skrell submariners to isolate themselves from the rest of the crew for most of the journey because of it. With this said, no Skrell have been diagnosed with '''High-Depth Antisocial Personality Disorder''', otherwise known as the '''"Deep Crazy"'''. Unlike the humans living on Europa the Skrell are seemingly immune to the disorder - although the Skrell are still at risk of developing their own unique disorders, especially for those who take on the role of Psionic Navigator.

	The so-called “industrial stations” are the heart of the Europan submarine fleets. These industrial centers are typically situated near the ocean’s surface, and feature large bays to produce a variety of submarines. These vessels can range from small shuttles with a crew of under a dozen, to massive research vessels with crews in the hundreds. Many of the materials utilized in the dockyards of the Europan Sea are imported from Callisto, where materials mined upon the volcanic surface of Io are refined.

	Though unusual, some Europans choose not to dwell on a station at all, instead opting to live on a submarine for the majority or entirety of their lives. These so-called “Hydronauts” are a rare breed typically found in groups of only a few dozen, with the exception of some larger vessels such as the Tethys. As travel under the waves of Europa is typically hazardous, these nomads will often dock in stations for significant periods of time and live out of their submarines, before undocking and proceeding to their next destination. Hydronauts are known to typically be more superstitious than the average Europan submariner, due to the larger amount of time they spend out of port, at the mercy of the Europan Sea.

	Life on Europa was first discovered in the late 21st century, but serious colonization efforts did not take place until the mid 22nd century, due to economic issues on Earth and a perception that Europa, unlike Callisto, would be too difficult to maintain colonies on. The first settlement on Europa was Korormansk Station, a research settlement established in 2145. Unlike many of the settlements that would follow it, Korormansk was built around a large borehole drilled into the surface ice, as the settlement was intended to serve as a major spaceport. Over the following centuries, Europans have slowly and steadily established more stations under the ice, carving out more of a foothold for humanity.

	Europa has never truly shifted away from its roots as a research colony and, over time, Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals has come to be a major employer on the moon. Research drives the economy of Europa due to the ready demand for new submarines and equipment, which must be produced on the moon itself for the sake of convenience. The advent of plasteel in the mid-2400s led to a boom in the Europan manufacturing sector, due to the incredible depths plasteel-hulled submarines can descend to. Tourism is another pillar of the economy, with Idris Incorporated operating many tourist facilities on the moon, including the truly impressive Jovian Jewel.

	One’s standard of living in Europa depends heavily upon what facility they reside in, but there are some general rules. Settlements on the moon, due to its very light gravity, are universally built around large gravity generators that predate their shipborne counterparts - these models are larger and more power-inefficient, making them unsuited for offworld use. The primary method of travel for the vast majority of Europans are submarines of various sizes that make their way through the massive ocean under the planet’s icy surface. Due to submarines being far cheaper to build and maintain, and settlements being under the ice for safety, space-based travel between settlements remains rare even in the 2400s.

Due to submarines being far cheaper to build and maintain, and settlements being under the ice for safety, space-based travel between settlements remains rare even in the 2400s. Throughout the entire moon of Europa, the language primarily spoken is Tradeband. Most social and government functions are conducted in this language, however Sol Common is also spoken as a second language by the inhabitants of larger settlements.

	Another constant factor for all settlements is the cold, often damp environment of the moon. Devices must constantly be maintained to ensure they do not break, lest the cold water seep into an area that humanity has carved out to live in. Space is typically at a premium under the ice of Europa, and cramped quarters are a commonplace. Beyond these concerns, settlements vary greatly in quality of life.
