==Notes==
Angaria is Latin for "slavery." However, its uses are not limited to characters, species or locations that relate to slavery. Contraria is Latin for "opposed to." Both phrases are taken from a line in the song "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff, from the opera "Carmina Burana": 
 
 
 Sors salutis
et virtuitis
michi nunc contraria
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.	
"Fate, in health,
and virtue,
is against me.
Driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved."
The Grox are a species of literal killing machines in the popular video game Spore. It has been noted that this name is similar to the name of the canonical Whedonverse species grox'lar. 
Toclafane is a term used in the fourth season of the rebooted BBC series "Doctor Who." According to The Doctor, it is a nonsense word that has little more meaning than being the Gallifreyan translation of "boogey man," and is not a proper classification for a species.
