Tayac system: the Ark, the great library of every species

Near Xi’an space, Tayac is known for the Ark, an orbital platform opened by the UEE in 2800, after the massacre of Garron II and the fall of the Messers. It was meant to preserve universal knowledge and serve as neutral ground for diplomacy between species. Rarely used for diplomacy, its library is a historical treasure.
