Système/Région : Annancale/Placid
Nom local : Lagaana
Gouvernement : Démocracie
Population : 25 millions
Exportations : Produits pétroliers
Dans son système, c'est l'unique planète avec une atmosphère respirable. C'est un monde océanique recouvert entièrement d'eau. L'océan global offre des zones de hauts-fonds sur lesquelles des cités dômes sont construites : les gumbaj (goumbaille ou goumbaje).
Contrairement à sa cousine sur Agoze V (un autre monde océanique) où les infrastructures sont installées à grandes profondeurs pour éviter les chaleurs excessives de la surface, les dômes d'Annancale sont étudiés pour que leur sommet atteigne la surface. Deux motifs : d'abord, ceci permet aux habitats de recevoir la lumière naturelle, ensuite le sommet accueille les installations portuaires et les marinas ; en effet la plaisance, la pêche et les sports nautiques sont des activités très populaires parmi les habitants.
L'économie de la colonie est centrée sur l'extraction et le raffinage du pétrole. Bien que l'exploitation pétrolière sous le plancher de l'océan soit difficile, le volume des réserves en fait une activité rentable. On estime que la colonie pourra continuer à produire au rythme actuel pendant encore au moins 600 ans.
Le pétrole recueilli est transporté vers les raffineries via un pipeline planétaire. Les centres de production offrent alors une large palette de produits finis ou semi-finis allant des platisques aux produits détergents en passant par les cosmétiques.
Pour désigner leur colonie, les habitants utilisent Lagaana qu'on pourrait traduire littéralement par "ceux qui ont reçu l'onction de la sainte huile" ou "oints par la sainte huile". Les cérémonies lagaanes ont recours à une huile de pétrole distillée et parfumée. Cette habitude prend son origine dans les cérémonies traditionnelles intakies dans lesquelles on utilise des huiles à base de plante, comme le jailtoon, une sorte d'olive.
Quand la charte de la colonie fut rédigée, les lagaanes ont établi une démocratie. Chaque gumbaj a un gouverneur. Les habitants du dôme élisent également un conseil législatif et un représentant au pradhaan sabha, le conseil planétaire. Traditionnellement, le plus ancien représentant préside le pradhaan sabha et est considéré comme chef de l'état.
Si vous visitez la colonie, ne ratez pas la Jahaaz Chalaana annuelle. C'est une régate qui fait le tour de la planète. La circumnavigation de plus de 75000 km prend environ 40 jours ; le record à ce jour est à 36 jours.
Une autre excursion consiste à se rendre au temple de Sati, une petite maison posée sur la seule île de la planète. Sati est une Idama -ou Réincarnée- célèbre pour ses travaux sur l'introspection, elle vécut solitaire durant des années dans cette masure. Il y a 100 ans, on a retrouvé le lieu déserté. Sati n'a officiellement pas quitté la planète mais personne ne l'a vue depuis. Désormais, la maison sert de retraite temporaire à des étudiants de l'Ida.

[EN] Going MAD: the frallente way of saying it loud... (not suitable for kids)
Important notice - disclaimer:
This post contains strong langage, kids should not read further.
Space, a quiet deep dark place.
Except when that swift hostile ship warps in and blows away your shinny little piece of jewel (and its most valuable cargo), in a bright sphere of light and heat. And as we say in frallente, all you get left are your eyes to cry...
Got pwned again ?
Filled with anger and frustration ?
Here is some frallente way of saying ot loud. Feel free to add exclamation marks.
Stylized langage
"sois maudit" ("curse you")
"par l'enfer" ("hell")
"mille galaxies" ("thousand of galaxies")
"tonnerre de Brest" ("thunder from Brest" - famous capt. Haddock sayings)
update:
"foutriquet" ("old frallente, means "chetive, little, insignificant person")
Mild langage
"fais chier" ("it sucks")
"casse toi tu pues" ("fuck off, you stink")
"espèce de bâtard" ("you bastard")
"prends ça dans ta face" ("take that in your face")
update:
"face de pet" ("fart face")
Stronger langage
"fils de pute" ("son of a bitch")
"enculé de ta mère" ("motherfucker")
update:
"trou du cul" ("asshole")
"sac à merde" ("bag of shit")
OK kids, you can come back now.
and remember: "Using frallente makes you feel more Gallente".
NK
Reminder :
Frallente is an idiom specific to the Gallente Federation. Rooted in ancient languages used in Tau Ceti, it is a varying combination of these languages. No rules are written and we still await for a comprehensive study of frallente.
Until then, this blog will help you to familiarize with this fantastic idiom, way of talking and way of life.

[EN] Tropical Monsoon
In the heart of every Intaki lays a shared nostalgia for the tropical monsoon.
The tropical monsoon climate experiences abundant rainfall like that of the tropical rain forest climate, but it is concentrated in the high-sun season. Intakis have more than 90 words to define rain.
On Intaki V the rainy season is nothing but dantean, especially around the tropics, on the edges of the equatorial ocean. It lasts more than three months; everything from people to places and objects get wet and cannot be dried properly. All you can do is wait until the rain stops... And it can last several days.
This is a good way of defining an intaki character : two men under the rain, one is running around, looking for a shelter and railing against the rain, the other one is staying still, with a pathetic palm leaf over his head (Totoro style), contemplating the rain. Which one is Intaki ?
Other intaki colonies do also experience their rainy season: Frarie VII, Harroule IV, Brarel II...
Monsoon rains impact the health of the Intaki economy; good monsoons correlate with a booming economy. Weak or failed monsoons (droughts) result in widespread agricultural losses and substantially hinder overall economic growth.The rains reduce temperatures and replenish groundwater tables, rivers, and lakes.
Typical intaki sayings refer to the monsoon:
"No need to worry, the rain will tell."
"Like an ox-cart driver in monsoon season, one must sometimes go forward by going back."
Famous intaki monsoon ragas:
"I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain"
"I am dotted silver threads dropped from heaven
By the gods, Nature then takes me, to adorn
Her fields and valleys.
I am beautiful pearls, plucked from the
Crown of Ishtar by the daughter of Dawn
To embellish the gardens…
The voice of Thunder declares my arrival
The rainbow announces my departure
I am like earthly life, which begins at
The feet of the mad elements and ends
Under the upraised wings of death"
"Then the winds blow…
Then the lightning’s fall…
Then, the flora sprouts and grows
Then the space overflows,
Then the land prepares for the welfare
When Parjanya the Rain God protects the earth by waters!"
