Hey guys,
I wrote a little flavor text in german and translated it into english and spanish. It shall be used to advertise SpaceTrace, but I need a little help from native english and spanish speakers to correct possible mistakes (I'm sure there are various). Especially my spanish is far from perfect.
So, feel free to sharpen it up
------------------------

For a long time the daily conflicts in our galaxy were dominated by the black hole in its center. Rivaling factions were fighting in epic space battles to gain control over it in order to utilize its inherent power for themselves.

But one day everything changed ...

Groundbreaking advances in the field of terraforming technology made it possible to colonize inhospitable planets. First expeditions of inquisitive e-ray researchers also discovered an unexpected by-product of the terraforming process: Chrono-matter, a mysterious substance which could be mined and utilized for ship propulsion.
Both discoveries turned out to make an impact on the fundaments of galactic society. Large numbers of adventurous colonists are setting off to reach at the stars, towards an uncertain future. Megalomaniac monarchs and expansionist governments ally with the aim of bringing the strategically most important key colonies under their control, creating vast empires and vying for dominance over the galaxy, either for the glory of their race or just out of sheer greed.
Ruthless mercenaries hire themselves out to the highest bidder in order to pounce on to the weakly escorted colonists fleets of their client's enemies. Pirates ambush convoys, heavily laden with chrono-matter, using their valuable booty to make their depredations even more effective. And in the midst of the chaos the Black Hole still pulsates, as it always has been and always will be a tournament course for the brave and determined.

A new era has begun and it is up to you to decide what role you will play in it.

----------------------------------

Lange Zeit wurde das tägliche Geschehen in unserer Galaxie dominiert vom Schwarzen Loch in ihrer Mitte. Rivalisierende Fraktionen stritten sich in epischen Raumschlachten um seine Kontrolle, um die ihm innewohnende Energie für sich zu nutzen.

Doch eines Tages änderte sich alles ...

Bahnbrechende Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Terraforming-Technologie ermöglichten mit einem Male die Kolonisierung unwirtlicher Planeten. Erste Expeditionen wissbegieriger e-Ray-Forscher entdeckten zudem ein unerwartetes Nebenprodukt des Terraforming-Prozesses: Chrono-Materie, eine rätselhafte Substanz, welche abgebaut und für Schiffsantriebe nutzbar gemacht werden konnte.
Schlagartig sind nun die politischen Verhältnisse in einem fundamentalen Wandel begriffen. Abenteuerlustige Kolonisten brechen in großer Zahl zu den Sternen auf, einer ungewissen Zukunft entgegen. Expansionsfreudige Regierungen schließen sich zu Verbänden zusammen, mit dem Ziel die strategisch wichtigen Schlüsselkolonien unter ihre Kontrolle zu zwingen, riesige Imperien zu gründen und die Vorherrschaft über die Galaxis zu erringen, sei es für den Ruhm ihrer Rasse oder auch aus blanker Profitgier.
Skrupellose Söldner verdingen sich den meistbietenden Fraktionen, um über die schwach eskortierten Kolonistenflotten ihrer Gegner herzufallen. Piraten lauern mit Chrono-Materie beladenen Konvois auf und nutzen ihre wertvolle Beute, um ihre Plünderungen noch effektiver zu machen. Und zwischen all dem Chaos pulsiert im Zentrum der Galaxie nach wie vor das Schwarze Loch, seit jeher Turnierplatz der Mutigen und Entschlossenen.

---------------------------------

Durante mucho tiempo los conflictos cotidianos en nuestra galaxia estaban dominados por el agujero negro en su centro. Facciones rivales luchaban en batallas espaciales épicas para el control del mismo a fin de utilizar su poder inherente para sí mismos.

Pero un día todo cambió ...

Avances revolucionarios en el campo de la tecnología de la terraformación ha permitido colonizar planetas inhóspitos. Primeras expediciones de curiosos e-ray investigadores además descubrieron un producto inesperado del proceso de terraformación: chrono-materia, una misteriosa sustancia que podría ser extraído y utilizado para la propulsión de naves espaciales.
Ambos descubrimientos tuven un impacto inmenso en los fundamentos de la sociedad galáctica. Un gran número de colonizadores aventureros se pone en camino para llegar a las estrellas, hacia un futuro incierto. Monarcas megalómanos se alian con gobiernos expansionistas, con el objetivo de mantener las colonias estratégicamente más importantes bajo su control, crear vastos imperios y competir por el dominio de la galaxia, sea para la gloria de su raza o sea simplemente por codicia pura.
Mercenarios despiadados se alquilan al mejor postor con el fin de atracar a las flotas de colonos desamparados de los enemigos de sus clientes. Piratas emboscan convoyes, cargados con chrono-matería, y utilizan su botín valioso para hacer sus estragos aún más eficazes.
Y en medio del caos el Agujero Negro todavía palpita, como siempre lo ha sido y siempre será un curso de torneo para los valientes y decididos.

Una nueva era ha comenzado y depende de ti qué papel vas a jugar.

For a long time the daily conflicts in our galaxy happened predominately at and around the Black Hole in it's center. Possession of it being a symbol of galactic dominance, rivalling factions have been fighting in epic space battles for countless centuries to gain control over it in order to utilize and study it's enigmatic power for themselves.

But one day everything changed ...

Groundbreaking advances in the field of "Terraforming" technology made it possible to colonize previously inhospitable planets. The first expeditioning parties of inquisitive E-Ray researchers also discovered an unexpected by-product of the terraforming process: Chrono-Matter, a mysterious substance which could be mined and utilized for advanced trans-warp propulsion.
Both discoveries turned out to make a tremendous impact on the fundaments of galactic society and its expansion. Large numbers of adventurous colonists began setting off to reach for the stars, towards an uncertain but certainly dangerous future. Megalomaniac monarchs and expansionist governments now ally with the aim of bringing the most strategically important "key" colonies under their control, creating a vast network of thriving empires and vying for dominance over the galaxy, either for the glory of themselves and their race or just out of sheer greed and wanton lust of power.

Meanwhile, ruthless mercenaries and privateers still hire themselves out to the highest bidder, pouncing on their prey, be they weakly escorted colonists or battle-hardened starfleet commanders. Despite all the other constant dangers of space flight, pirates continue their reign of interstellar plunder and, with the boom in intergalatic colonization, continue to lay in wait, ready to ambush these new unsuspencting convoys, heavily laden with Chrono-Matter; using this valuable booty to make their attacks even more swift and effective. In the midst of the chaos the Black Hole still pulsates, surviving all the greatest heros who ever fought to claim its glorious mantle; as it always has been and always will be the ultimate tournament grounds for the brave and determined.

A new era has begun and it is up to you to decide what role you will play in it. Will you hold control over the galaxy and create the greatest empire that ever was or will you topple the forces that do and reign in a new era of galatic anarchy? Your future awaits.


Might need to be cleaned up a little bit, possibly ran through a spell check but I will probably go back over it a dozen times myself. Like I had said before, Anac is a good writer so there wasent a whole lot I could really do to improve on it, just minor things. Alot of it is still his words and a little of my parody or me paraphrasing. Hope it helps!
