ZYPHERA PRIME — VISITOR & COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Classification: General Distribution
Distribution: Civilian Population / Families / Non-Starfleet Personnel
Date: 11 August 2398

WELCOME TO ZYPHERA PRIME

The USS Elysium is currently docked at Zyphera Prime while a diplomatic summit is being prepared.

Approved civilian personnel may visit designated public areas of the station.

This is the most culturally diverse location Elysium has encountered since arriving in Circinus.

APPROVED AREAS

Subject to local restrictions, civilian visitors may access locations including:

- Grand Atrium,
- Veil Galleries,
- public gardens,
- restaurants,
- cultural exhibits,
- entertainment districts,
- authorised commercial areas,
- portions of the Lower Exchange.

Restricted diplomatic, technical and security areas remain off-limits.

LOCAL LAW

Zyphera Prime is neutral territory governed by the Zypheran Concord.

Local law applies while aboard the station.

Please cooperate with Zypheran Peacekeepers.

Do not carry restricted weapons.

Do not enter diplomatic zones without authorisation.

Do not attempt to purchase restricted technology.

Do not assume an item is legal simply because someone is selling it.

PERSONAL SECURITY

Zyphera Prime is busy and generally orderly, but its neutrality attracts a wide range of visitors.

Personnel should remain aware of:

- pickpocketing,
- scams,
- information brokers,
- aggressive traders,
- unfamiliar intoxicants,
- unknown foods,
- restricted substances,
- individuals seeking information about Elysium.

Do not discuss restricted mission information with strangers.

EREBUS

Rumours concerning Elysium and a possible route toward the Milky Way are circulating.

The official position is:

No route home has been completed.

Scientific research is ongoing.

A diplomatic summit is being held to determine whether further development is possible.

Do not spread speculation as fact.

CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS

The station hosts many species unfamiliar to Elysium.

Avoid assumptions based on appearance.

Ask before touching unfamiliar people, clothing, equipment or cultural objects.

Universal translation may not always convey cultural meaning accurately.

FAMILIES & CHILDREN

Children and teenagers must follow normal Elysium supervision requirements while aboard the station.

Parents and guardians should establish meeting locations in case communications are interrupted.

Younger visitors should not enter the Lower Exchange unsupervised.

COMMUNITY NOTE

For nearly a year, Elysium has been separated from the Milky Way.

Zyphera Prime offers opportunities for:

- trade,
- recreation,
- cultural exchange,
- education,
- social interaction,
- simply spending time somewhere that is not the ship.

Enjoy it.

Use common sense.

And remember that anything you say about Elysium may travel farther than you expect.
