Fire Maiden (The Beyond 1401), its neighbors say, is the sector insane asylum. It is a rather bizarre world. It is the only world in the history of TAS to be granted an undeserved Amber rating at its own request. Fire Maiden is an entertainment world, a tourist trap that sells itself as an exotic frontier pagan paradise, complete with faux alien temples, bizarrely dressed performers and a completely fake local culture. The Amber Zone is actually part of its allure as a "dangerous alien mystery world", and its press agencies often spread stories of pirate attacks and local abductions to attract clients. Beyond the hokey cover story, Fire Maiden is a rather beautiful and slow paced world. Though why fake reality is preferable to a universe full of mystery is anyone's guess.
