Ring of Friendship

__NOTOC__
The Ring of Friendship is a Heliarch controlled ringworld located in the Quaru system.
== Description ==
This is the crown jewel of the Heliarchs, a ringworld that was completed by the Quarg before the Coalition formed and drove them away. It now serves both as a center of finance and trade, and as the seat of the Heliarch government, which is made up of "consuls" who have been selected by the other Heliarchs from among their number in such a way that all three species always have equal representation. The Heliarchs, in turn, are selected from among the best and brightest members of each species. Despite the occasional resistance to it, this meritocracy has survived ten times longer than any human democracy.
== Spaceport ==
At any given time, thousands of young people are in training here to become "interpreters," the Heliarch agents who serve as translators and mediators on all the Coalition worlds. As they rise through the ranks, some of those agents will be honored by being elevated to the rank of Heliarch, gaining a voice in the selection of new consuls and perhaps one day even being selected themselves.
Heliarch rank is not hereditary, and the children of Heliarchs are given no special preferment for promotions or educational opportunities.
== Outfitter ==
None at the start of the game, but Heliarch Basics is added after completing the Heliarch campaign introduction.
== Shipyard ==

== Information ==
* Heliarch planets and stations cannot be dominated.
* This is one of the three complete ringworlds in the game.
* This ringworld was the one built in Saryd space and was known as Quari Kell before the war. Its current name refers to the friendship the Saryds and the Quarg once had and their current friendship with the Kimek and the Arachi.
