泛银河商业公司 Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise

公司的巨构总部 The IPC's Mega HQ

位于庇尔波因特的公司总部被封存在位面球中。在星际和平公司的商业宏图之中，没有一颗星球可以置身事外，他们前往深空，是为了将全宇宙的力量集合起来。

The IPC's headquarters at Pier Point is sealed within a Planar Sphere. No planet can hide from the grand business plan of the Interastral Peace Corporation. They ventured into deep space to harvest the power of the entire universe.

亚空间的敲击撼天震地，沉默的巨像孤独地铸造着横垣星河的壁障。自称领受神谕之人开始行动，他们要协助星神克里珀筑墙。

The impact within the subspace shook the universe as the silent and lonely colossus committed to building the great barrier across the Cosmos. Those who claimed to have received the oracle of the god began to act, wishing to help the Aeon Qlipoth to build the wall.

宇宙危在旦夕，筑墙更是刻不容缓。渺小的人类无意效仿神明壮举，他们聚集成群，自命为星神的「后援队」，愿意将一切奉献给琥珀王——「后援队」借助存护之力，驾驶舰队去往不同的星系，采购石块、木料、黄金、超钛等建筑材料，片刻不停将建材运向亚空障壁，堆满行星荒原。

The universe is in imminent peril, and the building of the wall cannot wait. The puny humans had no intention of imitating the feats of the god, instead gathering into a self-proclaimed "support team" for the Aeon, willing to devote everything to the Amber Lord. With the power of Preservation, the support team piloted their fleet to different stellar systems to purchase building materials such as stone, wood, gold, and supernium, then tirelessly transported these to the subspace barrier, piling the items on the planetary wasteland.

短暂的黎明发展期结束之后，「后援队」在庇尔波因特站稳脚跟，成立了「星际和平公司」。为贯彻奉献的愿景，他们将目光投向深空。

After the end of the short development period, the support team took a firm foothold in Pier Point and established the Interastral Peace Corporation. In order to fully carry out their devotion, they turned their sights to deep space.

路易斯•弗莱明振臂一呼，远航贸易船队驶离星神克里珀身旁的星系，大宗贸易商品不再局限于建筑材料…他们计划连结银河、采办一切。随后，东方启行为跨越星河的商业世界执规行矩，构筑「信用点」体系，给寰宇中的一切商品制定价格。数以兆计的资产汇聚在庇尔波因特的巨构建筑之下，它像是沉默的黑洞，侵吞着人们关于财富尽头的想象。

Louis Fleming raised a call for action, and the long-distance trade fleet left the star systems adjacent to Aeon Qlipoth. Their commodities were no longer limited to building materials... They plan to connect the whole Cosmos and trade everything. Soon after, Dongfang Qixing implemented Cosmos-wide trade regulations and built a "credit" system to set a price for everything across the universe. Trillions of assets gathered under their megastructure on Pier Point. Like a silent black hole, the building destroyed people's notions about the limits of wealth.

如今，星际和平公司的舰船遍布星河，仍未停止过扩张。「商业独裁」的言论甚嚣尘上，公司毫不在意，他们自知初心从一至终。

Today, the ships of the Interastral Peace Corporation are all over the Cosmos. Despite being criticized as a corporate dictatorship, the IPC has not stopped expanding. They don't care what other people think and have never forgotten their founding mission.

公司新人入职培训方式日新月异，近八百个琥珀纪后，唯有一项历史观摩活动从未改变——彼时，公司创始人路易斯•弗莱明站在「后援队」前激情演讲，他提出联合宇宙的宏愿，支援星神保护宇宙的理想。演讲话音刚落，遥远而巨大的敲击声落下，为这庄严肃穆的一刻注入了崇高的使命，那时他们便知道，这就是百折不移的信仰。

The IPC's recruit training methods change with each passing day, but after nearly eight hundred Amber Eras, there is only one historical practice that never changed. Once upon a time, Louis Fleming, the founder of the IPC, stood in front of the support team and made a passionate speech. He put forward the aspiration of uniting the universe and supporting the Aeon's wishes to protect the universe. As soon as the speech ended, the distant and huge sound of a cosmic impact sounded, injecting a lofty calling into this solemn and sublime moment. From that moment on, they knew this would become their unswerving belief.

「一切献给琥珀王。」

"All for the Amber Lord."

公司的贸易航道 The IPC's Trade Route

借助「信用点体系」的便利，跨越星际的商贸得以成立。星际和平公司用经济活动连缀繁星，拓展了贸易边界。

With the convenient help of the credit system, interstellar commerce was established. The Interastral Peace Corporation connected the stars with economic activity and expanded the borders of trade.

「后援队」围绕着星神克里珀身边的星系往来匆匆，旧日舰船轨迹形成了最初的航道。

The support team hurried around the star system close to the Aeon Qlipoth, with the old ships' trajectories forming the first routes.

深信着星神所为必有意义的「后援队」，向邻近的星系跨出物物交换的第一步。「后援队」备好运力充足的舰队，稀缺珍贵的物资，以及难以拒绝的条件，无数跨越星系的贸易就此产生。随即，「后援队」掌管航道信息，独占议价权利，率先制定了银河商业铁则。

Believing in the meaningfulness of the Aeon's actions, the support team took the first step in exchanging goods for other goods with a neighboring star system. The support team prepared an adequate fleet, rare and precious goods, and offers that were hard to refuse, thus creating countless trades across star systems. Then, the support team controlled trade route and business information, held exclusive bargaining rights, and spearheaded the formulation of the cosmos's trade regulations.

满载着木材、石头、钢筋、超钛的舰队行过星神克里珀身边，如同飞虫盘旋。琥珀王不言不语，未曾投下注视。

Fleets full of wood, stone, rebar, and supernium passed by Aeon Qlipoth like a swarm of circling flies. The Amber Lord kept silent, never once casting THEIR gaze upon the humans.

时移世易，邻近星系的贸易已经不再满足繁忙的「后援队」。两位聪明人决心纵深银河，星际和平公司就此成立。公司提供一切其他星球感兴趣的商品，并用「信用点」标上了公平价格。从此以后，银河的贸易航道建立起来，加入公司商业网络的各星球都能共享同样的货币，购买同样的商品，享用同样的服务。

Eventually, times changed and trade with neighboring star systems was no longer sufficient for the bustling support team. The two wise ones were determined to delve deeper into the cosmos, and thus the Interastral Peace Corporation was born. The IPC offered anything a planet could ever want, at fair prices pegged to their "credits." Since then, the cosmos's trade route was founded, and all planets that join the IPC's business network can share the same currency, buy the same goods, and enjoy the same services.

「信用点体系」下的商船在星海间流动，贸易航道交叠重合，交织成泛银河网络。满载着远星异宝的舰船无数次行过星神克里珀身边，仍如萤虫环绕，星神沉默如旧。

Merchant ships under the credit system travel between the stars, and the trade routes merge and separate to weave a pan-cosmic network. The ships full of treasures from distant stars passed the Aeon Qlipoth countless times like fireflies, and yet the Aeon remained as silent as before.

自「后援队」时代累积的建材，已经堆满星神克里珀身边的每颗星球，数目只增不减。星神克里珀无意采用殷勤的馈赠，祂始终关注着凡人不可预见的危机，不得不以光年为单位铸造障壁。昔日采办物资的小组织，早已成为银河中伸手云覆手雨的庞大势力，他们凝望着无首巨像，从未觉得这一切都是徒然无功。

The building materials accumulated since the time of the support team piled up on every planet around the Aeon Qlipoth, and the amount will only increase. The Aeon Qlipoth has no intention of accepting these eager gifts, instead always solely focused on the crisis that will befall the unsuspecting mortals, having to cast the gargantuan barriers measured in light-years. The small organization that used to purchase materials has long since become a tremendous influence in the cosmos. They gaze upon the headless colossus, never once feeling that their efforts were in vain.

「一切资本的翻滚及增长，都是为了在克里珀有需要之时，能够满足星神的愿望。」

"All the toil and growth of our capital is for Qlipoth, and to execute the Aeon's will when the time comes."
