Jartar

**Jartar** is the first planet of the Dis system in the Hades Gamma region of the Beta Quadrant. The planet is terrestrial, with a thin atmosphere comprised mostly of krypton and xenon. The surface is exceedingly hot. The planet is primarily comprised of silicates, with occasional deposits of aluminum, magnesium, and other light metals.

Jartar is primarily notable for being the location where the Leviathan of Dis was discovered, at the bottom of a crater, by batarian surveyors in 2963 CE. Shortly after its discovery, a batarian dreadnought entered the system and the Leviathan of Dis vanished.
Kazda's Swamp

**Kazda's Swamp** is a wetlands area on the planet Denea. It is largely significant because it is the site of the first extraterrestrial contact with the planet. The Leviathan *Moya* submerged in the swamp in order to dampen the signal of an active paddac beacon.

## Source

Kazda's Swamp is seen in an episode of the first season of *Farscape*.
Mu-Quillus

**Mu-Quillus** was a mercenary hired by the Patriqu-ro to lure Leviathan biomechanoids to their death using radiation emitted from a siren star. Over the course of his career, he had destroyed 83 Leviathan biomechanoids in this manner -- and killed their crews.

On one such Leviathan, Mu-Quillus encountered Sierjna and fell in love with her. Though he could not save her life, he trapped her soul between realms and held it there until *Talyn* began to be lured into his trap. With Stark onboard, and determined to free Sierjna's soul, Mu-Quillus entered a desperate struggle against *Talyn*'s crew. Mu-Quillus' efforts to strike a deal with Stark ended in disaster, when he was shot by *Talyn*'s internal weapons and killed.
Kanish

**Kanishing** is a psionic ability used by Delfarions, which allows the kanisher to transport a spiritual form of themselves across small distances -- in a sense, this is similar to teleportation, athough the physical body of the kanisher remains in place.

Death does not hinder the ability of a Delfarion to kanish.
Lukythians

The **Lukythians** are a bipedal race with highly advanced technological capabilities. They are infamous throughout the Uncharted Territories for their mistreatment of other species. They are responsible for a legendary massacre in the Trola System.

Lukythians have wideset eyes, and their heads are implanted with mechanical equipment -- the purpose of which is unknown to all outside of the race. It is likely to aid the Lukythians in their survival as they are known to be a somewhat fragile species. They have also mastered holographic technology -- using projection to make their warships appear larger and more powerful than they actually are, and to send projections of themselves into battle so as to avoid experiencing actual injury. They are also masters of bioengineering and have been known to use biological weapons in their warfare.

The Lukythians are reigned over by a single member of their race, known as the Prime Lukythian. How he is selected is unknown, but he is guarded over by the Chief Protector of the Prime Lukythian. The Chief Protector's duty also includes exacting vengeance should anyone harm the Prime Lukythian. In 2002 CE (by the Earth calendar), a team of Sebaceans including Aeryn Sun invaded the homeworld of the Lukythians and assassinated the Prime Lukythian. The Sebaceans were infected with an engineered strain of Sebacean Heat Delirium.

Janus VI

**Janus VI** is the sixth planet of the Janus system. It once had significant volcanic activity, but by Earth's 33rd century it had become completely geologically inactive. The planet has no atmosphere, but is rich in minerals such as gold, pergium, platinum, cerium and uranium. It is the homeworld of the horta.

## History

The long-lived horta had a life cycle that lasted approximately 50,000 cycles. Living deep underground -- and being a silicon-based creature -- the planet Janus VI was determined to be uninhabited when it was colonized by humans from the United Federation of Planets.

After about fifty years -- in 3267 CE -- the colonists had mined deep enough to begin to encounter the horta. At the time, only the mother horta was alive, and viciously protecting the eggs of the rest of her species. The eggs were deemed to be useless balls of silicon by the colonists' machines, and a large number of them were inadvertently destroyed. The mother horta began to sabotage the colonists and even kill some of them. The USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) was called to investigate.

Their investigation uncovered not only that the horta existed, but also discovered their sentience. An agreement was reached between the colonists and the horta -- with the horta helping the colonists to find the richest mineral deposits. Afterwards, Janus VI became an incredibly valuable planet to the Federation as one of their most productive mining colonies.

By 3328 CE, commercial transports to Janus VI were available from Denkir Orbital City.
Neural Clones

**Neural clones** are a creation of neuro biotracer chips -- they are duplicates of the chip's creator that exist only in the mind of the person who has the chip implanted in their brain. Neural clones often appear as hallucinations, but can also exert mental control over the person who's brain they exist within.

John Crichton had a neural clone of Scorpius exist within his mind after having one such chip implanted in his brain. Crichton named the clone "Harvey".

## Source

Neural clones are derived from *Farscape*.
NamTar

**NamTar** was a genetic experiment of the scientist Kornata. NamTar began its life as a non-sentient, rodent-like creature that Kornata had affectionately named. Initially, the experiment was designed simply to expand the intelligence of the subject. NamTar grew more intelligent, slowly at first. Eventually, however, NamTar grew more intelligent than the scientific team in charge of the experiment.

NamTar overpowered the scientific team and trapped them on their base where he conducted experiments on them, and forced them to work for him. NamTar also continued experiments on himself, obsessed with making himself perfect. Using genes from a wide variety of other species, NamTar took the best qualities he could find.

It was because of this obsession that, when *Moya* arrived NamTar was desperate to acquire Pilot's DNA to grant himself regenerative capabilities. He convinced the crew to bring him one of Pilot's arms, and then proceeded to use Aeryn Sun as a test subject for implanting the new DNA. As Aeryn began to transform into a strange Sebacean/Pilot hybrid creature, Kornata convinced John Crichton to help her stop her creation. Crichton distracted NamTar, and Kornata injected him with a serum that reversed all of the experimentation that had been done to him. NamTar returned to his original form, and was caged. His former victims planned to resume experimentations upon him.
Jahavus Dorahl

**Jahavus Dorahl** was the commander of the Dorahl bioship. In the hopes of colonizing another world, he brought 2,000 of his people aboard and launched into space.

Years after the beginning of their journey, a plasma storm damaged the engines. Dorahl brought the inhabitants of the ship into the vessel's artificial ecosystem, where they could survive indefinitely while adrift in space. He left a recording on the bridge explaining the plight of the vessel.

Over the following centuries, the people of ship began to worship the figure of Jahavus Dorahl as a deity. The ship's government, led by Hamelac, strictly enforced the "Word of Dorahl."

## Source

Jahavus Dorahl is derived from *The Orville*.
Niem

**Niem** was the strong, silent Peacekeeper assistant to Scorpius on his Gammak Base. She was the primary operator of the Aurora Chair, while Scorpius interrogated those strapped into it. However, she did have other duties -- most notably those involving the security of the base. When John Crichton escaped from imprisonment, Niem led the search party and was wholly intent on recapturing him.

Her fate after the destruction of the Gammak Base is unknown.
Liko

**Liko** was a merchant and a high priest of his people before most of his civilization was eradicated and enslaved by Maldis. Liko was gifted with incredible psionic prowess.

After meeting the 9th level Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Liko immediately recognized the power in the Delvian. After Maldis abducted John Crichton, Liko and Zhaan worked together to overcome the evil entity. Liko -- knowing the Zhaan would need to tap into her darker impulses to defeat Maldis -- intentionally brought out her more violent side. The effort it took to give Maldis a corporeal form that Crichton could defeat drained all of Liko's energy into Zhaan, killing him. Nevertheless, in Liko's final moments he was happy to have finally been able to defeat his nemesis.
Bucol-2

**Bucol-2** was a planet within the borders of the Terran Federation, that was home to a mining colony for most of its existence. Eventually, its mineral deposits were exhausted and the planet was abandoned.

Six years before the Intergalactic War, a Federation science team was sent to the planet to conduct experiments -- in order to genetically engineer radiation-proof shock troops. Though the work progressed, it was a slow process and the Federation ultimately decided it would not fast enough to use in an actual war. As a result, all of the research team save one member -- Justin -- left the planet but were shot down by an enemy ship as they departed.

Justin remained on the planet, until Dayna Mellanby arrived in the hopes of gaining his help against the Federation and he was subsequently embroiled in her conflict with Servalan. After these events, Bucol-2 is populated solely by the surviving test subjects.
Nebari Contagion

The **Nebari Contagion** is perhaps one of the most insidious schemes of the Nebari Establishment. It is a bio-engineered sexually transmitted disease that, when inactive, has no symptoms at all. Many non-conformists are intentionally infected with the disease before leaving Nebari Prime, in order to spread the contagion throughout the Delta Quadrant.

When activated, the contagion will render all infected thoroughly mind-cleansed. Though this in and of itself is unlikely to cause any civilizations to fall completely under the sway of the Establishment, the Nebari hope that the contagion will weaken enough societies that conquering these worlds will be fairly easy.

## Source

Mu Relay

The **Mu Relay** was one of the mass relays that were part of the mass relay network originally constructed by the Reapers. Around the year 1,000 BCE the relay was lost, pushed out of its proper orbit by a star that went supernova. The relay wasn't damaged, but was covered in hot gas and dust. As such the relay became invisible to scans.

The relay connected to several relays but was the only means of reaching the Pangaea Expanse -- and therefore the Prothean colony of Ilos.

The nebula in which the relay was located was in a territory of space that would come to be held by the rachni. Fiercely territorial, the rachni intended to cut off all means of entering their space. They did eventually discover the location of the relay. When the krogan helped to eradicate most of the rachni species, the knowledge of this relay was lost until the resurrection of the Rachni Queen by the Binary Helix. She held the knowledge in her genetic memory -- and it was because of this that the information was able to be given to Commander Shepard.

The Mu Relay is derived from *Mass Effect*.
Lechna

**Lechna** was supposedly a native of Vendrall and a member of a group of subversives with whom Aeryn Sun worked after leaving *Moya*. The details of the relationship between Lechna and Aeryn remain mysterious -- though it is known that she told the Scarrans that he had been her lover when she was trying to persuade him that John Crichton was not the father of her unborn child. As Crichton was indeed the father of the child, it is likely that the entire story was fabricated.
Litigara

**Litigara** is a Class M planet with two natural satellites, located within the Uncharted Territories. The Litigarans who populate the planet are made up primarily of lawyers. Some surveys state that 90% of the Litigaran populace are lawyers, with the remaining 10% making up the "utilities" -- an oppressed social class who fulfilled all of the other needs of their society. At the turn of the 21st century, by Earth's calendar, some Litigaran utilities were beginning to fight for equal rights.

## Source

Litigara appears in an episode of the second season of *Farscape*.
Max Shee

**Max Shee** was a famous human actor, born in 2349 CE. After starring in *The Associate Sub-Director's Daughter* in 2374 CE, he became a household name and one of the top leading men in romantic films. Eventually, he would marry the singer Caitlyn Odanga -- who was twenty years younger than him. Their wedding and honeymoon were a special 72-hour live television event, and became the highest rated non-mandatory newscast in Earth's history with over 11 billion viewers.

Fifteen months later, however, the marriage fell apart -- as Odanga did not feel the time was right to tie herself to one man -- and the Entertainment Cartel approved a divorce. At the time, Shee was working on *Heart of Permafrost* which was being filmed in Antarctica at the Byrd Polar Complex.

Menthar

The **Menthar** were an intelligent, spacefaring species that fought an extended war against the Promellians in the 24th century, ultimately leading to the extinction of both species. The Menthar were renowned for their unique combat strategies, many of which found their way into history books -- such as the Kavis Teke elusive maneuver and the Passive Lure strategem.

The Menthar also created a modification which turned Aceton assimilators into snares for starships. One such snare was still able to trap a Galaxy-class Federation starship a full century after the Promellian-Menthar War.

John Clarence

"**John Clarence**" was an alias adopted by John Crichton when he inadvertantly time traveled to 1985 CE. Under this guise, he attempted to convince his younger self to talk Jack Crichton out of going on the *Challenger* mission.

During this time traveling adventure, John Crichton also used the alias "Fred Scarran".

Mount Versant Observatory

The **Mount Versant Observatory**, located on Mount Versant on the planet Denea, is a scientific research facility. It was from this observatory that Lyneea witnessed *Moya*'s arrival on the planet -- although she had previously believed she had seen a U.E.O. sighting one cycle earlier, which had turned out only to be a terrestrial event. After Lyneea's contact with alien lifeforms, she led the Mount Versant in becoming one of the premier scientific facilities on the planet. It was largely responsible when the Deneans did finally achieve space travel.

## Source

The Mount Versant Observatory is mentioned in an episode of *Farscape*'s first season.
Kurz

**Kurz**, or "**Goon**" as he was sometimes called, was a member of the Zenetan Pirates. He faithfully follow Kcrackic, until the Red Mentor's death. At that point, Kurz began to unquestioningly follow Selto Durka. When Durka was dispatched by Rygel XVI, Kurz's loyalty shifted once more -- this time to Zelkin.

Kurz met his end when *Talyn* destroyed his ship in order to disable the Flax.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The **Massachusetts Institute of Technology**, or **MIT**, was a university located in the city of Boston, in Massachusetts, United States of America on the planet Earth.

John Crichton held a Ph.D in "Theoretical Science" from this institution, which he earned before going to work for IASA.

MIT is a real school, but was mentioned in *Farscape*.
Nogelti Crystals

**Nogelti crystals** are valuable green gemstones that form naturally in the bones budongs. Because of their rarity and value, mining colonies are frequently established in the corpses of dead budongs -- despite the many dangers that exist in budong physiology.

New Russian Republic of States

The **New Russian Republic of States** was a nation that formed, independent of the United Nations, as that organization's political power waned in the face of rising corporate influence. The states themselves were frequently divided by internal strife, preventing it from ever becoming a significant political power despite having launched the Orbiting Industrial Platform Pasternak. Its Western states were allied with the Europa Economic Interest.

After food riots began in Yeltsingrad in 2312 CE, the nation was formally divided between its two neighboring powers: the eastern states chose to join DOMO, whereas the states on the eastern side of the nation predictably joined the EEI. The spaceport of Pasternak joined with DOMO, however -- in a shocking twist -- the rest of the OIP voted to join the EEI.

Ja Rhumann

**Ja Rhumann** was a senior partner of a Litigaran law firm called Rhumann, Willian and Mandell -- the ruling law firm of the planet Litigara. He, and his firm, stood against efforts to expand the rights of the Utilities, which was being advocated for by Wesley Kenn.

With the arrival of *Moya* and her crew, Rhumann found an opportunity to end Kenn's influence. He had his opponent killed, and framed Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan for the crime. Rygel XVI and Chiana acted as Zhaan's lawyers -- but were unexpectedly competent. They uncovered the truth of Rhumann's involvement. Consequently, Rhumann had Finzzi threaten Chiana with false charges as well.

Rhumann failed to account for the skill at deception which both Rygel and Chiana possessed. Finding an obscure Litigaran law, and with the help of *Moya*, the two created a "Light of Truth" and caused it to burn brighter as Rhumann took the stand and told his version of events. With this evidence, the court was forced to release Zhaan and arrest Rhumann.
Master of Tarquin Hill

The **Master of Tarquin Hill** was a renowned pioneer in ceramic sculpting. He was active around 11,000 BCE on the planet Kurl. His name was lost to history, but his work was considered three hundred cycles ahead of his time.

It was because of how advanced his work was that Captain Jean-Luc Picard initially mistook his work for being from the Fifth Dynasty when presented with a naiskos as a gift from Professor Richard Galen. Galen corrected the assessment -- the naiskos was from the Third Dynasty.

Medtechs (Peacekeeper)

**Medtechs** were a piece of Peacekeeper technology would could create devices necessary for the medical needs of Sebaceans. They were particularly useful for the ability to create artificial tissue grafts -- such as those necessary to ro repair a damage paraphoral nerve.

The Gammak Base was equipped with one of these devices.

Lishala

**Lishala** was the daughter of the Grondeer Kato-Re. After John Crichton crash landed on Acquara, she was drawn to him. This attraction grew as she got to know the human, despite the jealousy of Rokon.

When Rokon tried to paint Ka D'Argo as a vicious monster who had attacked him, Lishala saw through his fabrication and believed Crichton's version of events. However, her loyalty would soon be tested with the arrival of Rygel XVI. With the arrival of the Masata, Lishala realized she and Crichton would never be together. Despite this, she patiently explained the story of the Masata to him.

When Crichton stood against the sacrifice of Rygel, as it was written in the sacred Timbala, Lishala stood by him once more -- urging the Acquarans to think for themselves, instead of letting an ancient book think for them. Ultimately, Crichton was able to de-activate the dampening effect that surrounded the planet, giving a new and freer future for the Acquarans. He bid Lishala and Rokon a fond farewell, and Lishala began to pursue a romantic interest in the hunter who had been vying for her attention for so long.
Natira (Saltici)

**Natira** was a cunning, self-assured, unscrupulous Saltici who owned and operated a shadow depository in the Uncharted Territories. She enjoyed using the crown of tendrils natural to her species for the purpose of plucking out eyeballs. Natira also had an impeccable business sense.

Natira and Scorpius had a lengthy and complex history, the details of which remained mostly secret for both of their lives. It is known that she took him in when he was still young, after his escape from Tauza. Somehow, despite her aid to him, Natira also owed Scorpius a debt she could never repay. It is believed that Scorpius had protected her from apprehension and death at the hands of the Peacekeepers. Despite all of this, and their sexual history, neither ever trusted the other.

Believing Scorpius had died in the destruction of the Gammak Base, Natira took possession of all of Scorpius' belongings that were stowed away in her depository.

Natira's shadow depository became the target of a heist when *Moya* and her crew sought to purchase Ka Jothee out of slavery. A supremely complicated plan devised by Stark was enacted. Ka D'Argo attempted to break into the depository, causing Natira to reset the security codes. Stark hacked them as they scrambled. Then, P'au Zotoh Zhaan -- posing as the pirate Aralla -- entered the depository with Chiana, hoping to stash a statue inside a vault. The statue was, in fact, Rygel XVI, temporarily placed in suspension to avoid setting off any biometric scans.

As this plan was enacted, Scorpius arrived -- demanding triple the value of his property as repayment for Natira seizing all of it. She acquiesced, giving Scorpius a shipment of borinium ingots that were -- in truth -- Karack Metalites. (This turned out to be the shipment that Rygel XVI would later arrange for Zhaan to steal from the vault.) Natira also mentioned the curious visitors to the depository -- a Delvian, a Nebari, a Luxan, and two Sebaceans. Knowing exactly who this merry band had to be, Scorpius ordered all exits from the depository be sealed.

Though *Moya*'s crew managed to escape, they were forced to return when the ingots they had taken turned out to be parasites. John Crichton gave himself up, allowing himself to be taken by Scorpius. Natira found him incredibly interesting as well -- but had little time to enjoy torturing him. Aeryn Sun convinced a band of mercenaries to raid the shadow depository, in order to give her time to rescue the human. During the raid, Natira managed to capture Rorf and interrogate him -- hoping to learn of Aeryn's movements. Rorf resisted her, until she tore out his left eye.

However, Natira quickly realized -- after a conversation with Harvey inside Crichton's head -- that Scorpius truly intended to kill her this time. She allowed Crichton and Aeryn to escape, and even helped to lead them out of the depository. However, when the tide of battle turned against them -- when Rorf was killed and Crichton began to slip into a delirious state -- Natira cut her losses and ran. Her whereabouts after this were never discovered.
Kelsa

**Kelsa** was the mother of Cyntrina and one of the nurses at the Jocacean Monastery. She tried desperately to keep her people alive during the battle against the Venek Horde, but the intervention of time traveling members of *Moya*'s crew made her efforts in vane. Ultimately, the Venek Horde overwhelmed the monastery and killed everyone inside.

## Alternate Timelines

In an alternate timeline where *Moya*'s crew never intervened, Kelsa and her daughter survived the battle against the Venek Horde -- which ended in a successful peace negotiation by both sides.
Neuro Biotracer Chips

**Neuro biotracer chips** were small computer chips that could be placed inside someone's brain for a variety of purposes. In many ways, it acts as a parasite -- although it is a piece of technology rather than a living organism.

The chips perform a variety of tasks -- from simply allowing the person whose head contains the chip to be tracked to preserving knowledge that may later be retrieved from the chip. These chips also create neural clones that can influence or control the behavior of the person in question.

Scorpius implanted one of these chips into the brain of John Crichton while the human was on the Aurora Chair. The chip was eventually removed, though parts of Crichton's brain tissue were seriously damaged and needed further medical attention to repair.

The chips are fragile, and can be completely destroyed if they overheat. As such, these chips are utterly useless when it comes to Scarrans.

Materium

The **Materium**, or **realspace**, is the four-dimensional space-time realm where corporeal beings exist. It should not be confused with the Prime Reality -- while the Prime Reality is part of the Materium, the Materium includes various alternate timelines, parallel universes. Subspace realms, such as the Void and the Warp are not part of the Materium (although the term the Immaterium refers specifically to Warp Space.) Unrealized realities are neither part of the Materium or the Immaterium.

The Materium is bound by laws of physics which make travel through the Materium generally slow, without accessing subspace to travel more rapidly. There are areas of the Milky Way where the Materium and the Immaterium are not divided and bleed into each other. These rifts include the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom. There are also areas of the galaxy where subspace has been destroyed, and faster-than-light travel is not possible.

Laura Huggins

**Laura Huggins** was a human woman who was born in Earth's late 20th century and lived into the 21st century. By the year 2015 CE, she worked at Macy's, a high-end clothing store, and lived in Sarasota Springs, New York in the United States of America. She had dreams of being a singer-songwriter and so she frequented open mic nights at local bars. She socialized with a small group of friends including Trisha, Lorenzo, and Karl and had an on-again-off-again relationship with her boyfriend Greg.

She and Greg had begun dating after they first met in 2006 CE. By her own account, prior to him she had dated a string of men who were "losers." Greg encouraged her to perform her music in public. However, Greg was unemployed and irresponsible and the two broke up. Eventually they reconnected and renewed their relationship. She confessed to Trisha that she could see herself marrying Greg.

One week later, she donated her phone to a time capsule.

Her phone was discovered in 3421 CE, and engineers aboard the USS *Orville* were able to restore power to it. Gordon Malloy became very interested in her life, and created Program Laura Alpha to create a holographic representation of her life.

Her phone was donated to the Delta Pavonis Museum.

Maton Dersch

**Maton Dersch** was a Litigaran public counselor. He was assigned to represent Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan when she was initially charged with failing to heed a pedestrian traffic light. Although he was disinterested in the case, he was confident he could get the minimum sentence of ten solar days for her.

However, when Zhaan was framed for the murder of Wesley Kenn, and refused to plead guilty to the crime, Dersch was fearful of continuing to represent her. Unwilling to share in her fate should she lose the trial, he stepped down as her attorney. Chiana and Rygel XVI took over her case.
Iriscentant Fluid

**Iriscentant fluid** was a chemical used by Leviathan biomechanoids in order to regulate their speed. Although they were capable of slowly producing their own, in the event of a hemorrhage it was much faster to refill the ship's supplies manually. The fluid was also found to be useful in hetch drives, as such it was commonly available on commerce planets and commerce stations near the Uncharted Territories.

## Source

Kampeks

The **Kampeks** were followers of a religious sect who worship a god known as Gezma, and believed that the gods were born in the Sacred Stillness.

The Kampeks believed that the commerce stations built in this holy region of space were an affront to the gods, and sought to destroy them in a cleansing apocalypse. In order to do this, the Kampeks used psionic abilities to summon storms and destroy two of the three stations. The third was very nearly destroyed in the same way by a Kampek called Borlik.

After Borlik was killed, the sect eventually faded out of existence.
Kalack Glands

The **kalack gland** is a gland located in Sheyangs, just above their stomachs. This gland collects special enzymes and chemicals from the body, creating a bile that bursts into flame when exposes to oxygen. Sheyangs are able to regurgitate this bile, allowing them to spit balls of fire. Sheyangs are vulnerable when they are attempting to this -- if shot by pulse weapons before spitting out fire, the bile in the kalack gland will ignite into an intense explosion that will kill the Sheyang and any who are near it.

The kalack gland also has the important task of regulating the temperature of the reptilian species. The gland becomes less and less efficient as Sheyangs age -- elderly Sheyang often have trouble producing flame.

Kyr

**Kyr** was a Tavlek mercenary who followed Bekhesh and who was deeply addicted to the chemicals injected into him by his Tavlek Gauntlet. When the Tavleks boarded and attempted to rob *Moya*, Kyr battled with Ka D'Argo and was able to briefly gain the upper hand -- until he was knocked unconscious by John Crichton, at which point he also lost his gauntlet.

When the rest of the Tavleks escaped from *Moya* with the captive Rygel XVI, Kyr was left behind. He was interrogated by Aeryn Sun and Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, and then was imprisoned within one of the prison cells aboard the Leviathan biomechanoid.

He was brash, abrasive, and defiant as a prisoner -- though Zhaan proved to be more than capable of handling him. When he began to suffer symptoms of withdrawal from his gauntlet, Zhaan helped to ease his symptoms and even tried to persuade him that he did not need the stimulant drugs. He warmed to Zhaan and the two even developed a sort of trust. Zhaan permitted him to wander freely throughout the ship -- though he took advantage of this and attempted to raid Zhaan's chemicals for a stimulant. Zhaan discovered him and furiously returned him to his cell.

Later, Kyr spoke to Bekhesh on behalf of the crew of *Moya*, explaining that they had nothing of value aboard and that they had actually tried to help him. This settled the standoff, and Rygel was freed while Kyr rejoined the Tavleks. Despite Zhaan's counseling, Kyr chose to put the gauntlet back on.
Inusannon

The **inusannon** were an ancient species with advanced technology. Around the year 125,000 BCE, they engaged in a war with the thoi'han over the right to colonize the planet Eingana. Wreckages of spaceships from both species scattered the planet's surface ever afterwards.

The inusannon were wiped out by the Reapers, but ruins left after their extinction were able to help the Protheans develop mass effect technology.

## Source

Neil Armstrong

**Neil Armstrong** was a human astronaut from the United States of America, who made history by being the first human to step onto the surface of Luna on July 20, 1969 CE during the Apollo 11 mission. During his landing on the moon, he famously said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Although this was a major victory over the Soviet Union in the space race between the two nations, Armstrong was considered a hero worldwide for his accomplishment. He died on August 25, 2012 CE.

Centuries later, Armstrong's accomplishments would still be remembered. The first settlement on Luna would be named Armstrong Outpost in his honor -- it would eventually grow to be called Armstrong City. Lake Armstrong, also located on Luna, was also named for his accomplishments. The USS *Armstrong*, a Starfleet vessel under the United Federation of Planets, would also be a part of his legacy.

Macton Tal

**Macton Tal** was the brother of Lo'Laan Tal, and a member of the Peacekeepers. He was highly prejudiced against Luxans, and was outraged by his sister's decision to marry Ka D'Argo. Macton eventually tracked the couple down, some time after the birth of Ka Jothee, to confront Lo'Laan about her decision to marry a Luxan and abandon her family. Lo'Laan refused to leave D'Argo, and the confrontation grew violent. Lo'Laan grabbed a knife to stab Macton with, but his Peacekeeper training took over his reflexes and he turned the knife back on her -- killing her.

Hoping to escape punishment for the death, he beat her corpse and framed D'Argo for her murder -- claiming he had brutalized her in a fit of hyper-rage. The scheme worked and D'Argo was arrested. Years later, however, D'Argo had escaped Peacekeeper custody aboard *Moya* and Scorpius used Macton Tal's whereabouts to strike a deal with the Luxan.

When D'Argo parted ways with the rest of the crew of *Moya*, he swore to track Macton Tal down. He preempted this by sending threatening messages to Macton, letting him know to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. Macton fled to seek sanctuary at a mental arts training camp run by Katoya. Macton and D'Argo were immediately confrontational with each other -- which Macton trying to convince D'Argo that he was, in fact, the murderer.

Shortly afterwards, Macton interrupted a session between Katoya and D'Argo -- killing Katoya and setting the virtual reality machine to torture the Luxan. He attempted to convince D'Argo that Lo'Laan had killed herself to escape him, but this lie proved unbelievable enough that it broke D'Argo from the exercise. Instead, Macton was forced to relive his own experience of killing his sister over and over.

His whereabouts after this are unknown, but it is likely he fell into a comatose state.
Maldis

**Maldis** was a psionic entity that existed partially in the Prime Reality and partially in another realm of his creation. Maldis' psionic powers were so great that he had long ago evolved past the need for a corporeal body, though unlike many other non-corporeal entities Maldis still needed to feed. Maldis fed on life force itself, using pain, hatred, and fear to cause death and draw out the energy he needed for sustenance. In order to satiate his hunger, Maldis would enslave entire worlds until they were too downtrodden to fill his appetite -- at which point he would move on to other inhabited planets.

Seeking a means to enslave the Peacekeepers, Maldis lured John Crichton away from the rest of *Moya*'s crew and then brought his soul into Maldis' realm. Then, Maldis brought Bialar Crais' soul into the arena, and set the two against each other. Though Crichton kept attempting to peacefully resolve their differences, the enraged Crais worked himself into a frenzy. When Crichton eventually got the better of his opponent, Maldis released Crais' soul. His plan, he explained, was to have lure Crais' command carrier to the planet where Maldis and Crichton had met. He would then enslave the command carrier and create death on a much larger scale. Before Maldis was able to kill Crichton, however, Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan intervened. Using Liko's energy, she was able to force Maldis into a corporeal form in his own realm -- this gave Crichton the opportunity to attack him and escape back to the Prime Reality.

Maldis was deeply weakened by this experience, and sought out opportunity to exact revenge upon the Delvian who had defeated him. Fortunately, he was able to create a small anchor to the Prime Reality through the form of Kyvan. Using considerable psychic power, he created a commerce station for Kyvan to inhabit. There, Kyvan gave a painting to Chiana. The painting was, in fact, a portal to Maldis' dimension which he used to "kill" -- or, in truth, kidnap -- each member of *Moya*'s crew. Zhaan, having figured out what was happening, set in motion a plan with Aeryn Sun.

Zhaan allowed herself to be taken by the portrait, leaving instructions for Aeryn to destroy Kyvan. With both of these tasks accomplished, Zhaan confronted Maldis and occupied him long enough for her friends to escape the painting -- at this point, Zhaan herself escaped and lured Maldis out into the Prime Reality. Aeryn, in her Prowler, and several of *Moya*'s DRDs opened fire on the portrait -- destroying it and weakening Maldis even further.
Landru

**Landru** was the leader of the people of Beta III around the year 2,733 BCE. He was a gifted philosopher and a talented engineer. During his rise to power, his people were torn apart by war and conflict. He sought to bring an end to violence, war, and even to disease and crime -- he wanted to create a world with no evils in it.

To that end, Landru constructed a supercomputer and gave it his identity. The computer would control the planet in order to create a paradise.
Maintenance Bays

**Maintenance bays** are rooms on starships, space stations, and planetary bases where repairs on other, smaller vessels, such as transport pods or shuttlecrafts, can be performed. Even living ships like Leviathan biomechanoids have maintenance bays.

The maintenance bays of Federation starships were the only place where the primary coolant tanks could be refilled.

Mind-Cleansing

**Mind-cleansing** was a technique used by the Nebari Establishment to keep their population docile and easy to control. Mind-cleansing removed an individual's violent and aggressive impulses.

## Methods

### Short-Term

The Nebari had developed two types of mind-cleansing. The first of these was a short-term process, which drugged the subject through an implant that was placed behind the eyeball. This process would wear off eventually as the drugs were metabolized.

This process was ineffective on species that were not humanoids -- such as Pilots -- and was also useless on the Nebari themselves. Some species with faster metabolisms, such as Hynerians, would be effected for significantly less time than other species. Neuro biotracer chips and other, similar brain implants could also render the short-term mind cleanse ineffective.

### Long-Term

The long-term method of mind-cleansing was done through advanced brainwashing techniques and took several cycles to complete. This form of mind-cleansing was effective on virtually any sentient species, including the Nebari, but could be undone if the subject suffered a sudden traumatic event.

Immobilizer Pulse

The **immobilizer pulse** is a weapon used to disable spacefaring vessels rather than to destroy them. This is particularly useful on Pantak-class Vigilantes that are used to track down and capture spaceships on the behalf of the Peacekeepers.

Although immobilizer pulses are designed to disable ships, they are extremely damaging to biomechanical spaceships like Leviathan biomechanoids. Use of such a pulse on a living ship will cause incredible pain, and any sentient beings bonded to the vessel will be rendered utterly incapacitated as well as a result.

Ivan Chanderpaul

**Ivan Chanderpaul** was a human Buddhist, and a member of the Federation of American Buddhists, on Earth in the 21st century. When the crew of *Moya* visited Earth, Chanderpaul was interviewed for the television program "Alien Visitation". Chanderpaul viewed the alien visit as a good thing, hopeful for the future, and even hoped that a marriage between Aeryn Sun and John Crichton might build trust and unity between two species. He was, however, alarmed at Noranti Pralaton's notion that it was sometimes necessary to kill.

Nathan Buckley

Reverend **Nathan Buckley** was a religious leader on Earth at the beginning of the 21st century. After *Moya*'s crew arrived on the planet with John Crichton, Buckley was interviewed by the television program "Alien Visitation". He was particularly perturbed by Noranti Pralatong's belief that killing could sometimes be justified.

Jatos

Lieutenant **Jatos** was an officer of the Peacekeepers who served directly under Grand Chancellor Maryk, both at Peacekeeper Strategic Command and in the Grand Chancellor's battle group. During the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, Jatos was deeply concerned about the heavy losses Peacekeeper forces kept suffering.

When Maryk was assassinated by Commandant Mele-on Grayza, Jatos served under her command. He served on the bridge of her command carrier during the Battle of Qujaga, and saw the devastation of the wormhole weapon constructed by John Crichton.

Jatos was present at the signing of the treaty that ended the war, and continued to serve under the Grand Chancellor of the Peacekeepers -- no matter who it was -- for quite some time thereafter.

M'Lee

**M'Lee** was a member of a sentient, plant-based, calcivorous species. She was born on a small asteroid, which her ancestors were brought to by a species of botanists that included Br'Nee. The botanists intended to rid the verdant asteroid of all herbivorous life, which M'Lee's people succeeded in doing -- and thus eradicated all that they could eat there.

M'Lee was the sole survivor of her race. Just before she succumbed to starvation, a group of the botanists returned to the asteroid. M'Lee preyed upon the botanists until Br'Nee was the last survivor of the group. Though she pursued him, she was also aware that after he died, she would soon starve to death as well. Thinking ahead, M'Lee sent a distress signal into space.

Like all of her species, M'Lee has two forms: a passive form, in which she acts naive and helpless and appears pale and fragile. While in this docile form, the glowing parts of her head appear blue. However, when hunger takes over, she becomes a vicious killer -- the glowing parts of her head change to a red color, the irises of her eyes blacken, a razored fin emerges on her back, spikes arise on her body, and razor sharp teeth extend into her mouth.

M'Lee was in her docile form when the crew of *Moya* arrived on the asteroid, responding to a distress signal. The crew rescued her from the pursuit of Br'Nee. M'Lee attempted to ingratiate herself to the crew -- spinning them a story of how her family had been killed by Br'Nee's people. Her hunger, however, destroyed her story when it took over and caused her to attack John Crichton. Br'Nee eventually revealed M'Lee's true nature to Crichton. M'Lee did not deny it -- and instead told Crichton the truth. She promised to control her hunger long enough for *Moya* to bring her to another planet where she could feed and survive, but Ka D'Argo offered an alternative suggestion: knowing that the Peacekeepers would be arriving soon in pursuit of *Moya*, he suggested she travel with them instead.

M'Lee waited, as suggested, and the Peacekeepers took her aboard. She begged for assistance, which Scorpius promised he would provide. A Marauder took her towards another planet -- the crew of which was never heard from again.
Male Zhaan

This male version of **Zotoh Zhaan** existed in a mental video game constructed from John Crichton's memories. When first encountered, Zhaan appeared to be a laid back hippy living out of his van. However, his treatment of Crichton was rough -- pulling the antenna out of the humans head, only to make his condition worse. Next, he offered a substance milks from one of his loomas -- however, Chiana realized the substance was acid. Zhaan milked the other of his loomas to provide an actually healing substance -- but then quickly got into his van and drove away so as to avoid the Ogre's wrath.

Later, they distracted Zhaan by turning on his vans lights -- mesmerizing him and giving them the opportunity to run him over. It soon turned out that the princess Crichton sought was not Aeryn -- so he returned to Zhaan, and sliced him open to reveal the true Zotoh Zhaan trapped inside.

Katrana

**Katrana** was the human/Sebacean hybrid daughter of John Crichton and Princess Katralla, and was the sole heir of Katralla's throne as Empress of the Breakaway Colonies. Though she never met her father, a project hologram of her at the approximate age of seven cycles old allowed Crichton to meet her. She called him "daddy" and told him that she loved him.

After Katrana was born, she led a privileged life as a member of the Royal Family of the Breakaway Colonies, but Katralla was sure to teach Katrana about the legacy of her biological, human father -- who had, ultimately, come to shape much of the fate of the Uncharted Territories. Katrana grew up and, when she finally became Empress after 80 cycles as a statue with the male Sebacean she ultimately chose as a husband, became a benevolent and fair ruler in her own right.
Kobrin

Officer **Kobrin** was a Peacekeeper pilot of exceptional skill. Kobrin had scored a 991 on his ratings, making him the most accomplished pilot in the Peacekeepers at the time of his service.

Under Scorpius' command, Kobrin joined a small squadron of soldiers to an ice planet in order to retrieve the neuro-chip that had been placed in John Crichton's brain. Kobrin's primary duty was to pilot the Marauder past *Talyn*, which he was able to accomplish while *Talyn* was distracted.

Leaving the planet was, however, another matter entirely. Realizing it would be several arns before Scorpius' command carrier would arrive on the planet, Kobrin was certain his piloting skills would allow them to evade *Talyn*. Scorpius was less certain. In order to guarantee his own survival, when the command carrier arrived, Scorpius had Kobrin pilot the Marauder as a distraction to lure *Talyn* away and ensure Scorpius could safely leave the planet. Though this plan succeeded, Kobrin had overestimated his own piloting skills and was killed when *Talyn* destroyed the Marauder.
Lopovius

The planet **Lopovius** is a reddish, arid planet settled by both the Bruidians and the Navarians -- with each believing that the other was an invader. The planet is orbited by two natural satellites.

In the year 3419 CE, Lopovius was on the border of Federation space, but close to several key member planets of the Federation. The feud between the Bruidians and Navarians was a growing concern for the admiralty -- as various Federation members had allied themselves with both factions.

In that same year, archaeologists discovered a Lopovian birthing bucket. The Bruidians and the Navarians agreed to have a neutral third party examine the artifact, hoping to find genetic material that would indicate which species had originated on the planet. Federation archaeologist Darulio analyzed the bucket and discovered genetic material that proved the original inhabitant of the planet was a common ancestor of both species. This discovery opened the door for a peace to be created between the species.
