Cassana Bo

**Cassanna Bo**is the current empress of the Irvagaleni Empire. She is the mother of Glyphonel and Tenovan as well as the head of Midian Bo. Her husband, Kaidromos Bo, rules at her side as Emperor-consort.

## Biography

### Early Life

Not much is known of Cassana's early childhood. Her birth-name was Cas, and her cultural syllable breakdown is Cas-san-na. She, presumably, inherited the throne from her own mother when she was of age and her mother saw fit to coronate her.

### Reign as Empress

In her first year as Empress, she took Kaidromos to be her husband. The two had been courting for years, and marriage was the next logical step as she ascended the throne.

Cassana, for the most part, has been a rather uncontroversial leader. Coming into power a few years before AY 2980, she took over as Empress from her mother, Netlevum. Unlike some rulers who have sought to widen the gap between the Empire and the Hegemony, Cassana has done her best to at least maintain the relationship they currently have with other galactic powers instead of agitating it.

Over the next decade, for reasons currently unknown, tensions began to rise between the Empire and the Hegemony and the polite friendship between Chancellor Pallaeon of the Hegemony and Cassana was strained. In AY 2991, an incident occurred on the planet Tarilia which was a byproduct of such tensions. Two sets of forces—one belonging to the Hegemony, and the other to the Empire—opened fire on one another without authorization. Several civilian casualties were reported. Seeing as this was a sovereign planet in the Edge and not under the leadership of either major galactic government, the incident was doubly condemned as citizens of the Edge were now worried that both the Empire and Hegemony believed they could attack Edge-faring civilians without repercussion. Immediately following the tragedy, both the Empire and Hegemony issued statements condemning the actions of both squads and assuring that the leaders in charge would be punished most severely for their negligence and lack of thought.
Kugraw

• Steel-blue

**The Kugraw** originate from the Gamma Plane. They and the Pykes formed an alliance that composed the original backbone of the Kugraw Hegemony, the most well-known and widespread government in Spectra of which several species are a part of.

## **Biology**

Kugraws stand at around 7’ (2.13 meters) on average, making them one of the larger races in Spectra. They are broad-shouldered and covered in short quills along their back and behind their skull. These quills are not like a porcupine’s, but closer to a hedgehog’s- short, thick, and a deterrent to anyone looking for an easy fight. They can become erect when a kugraw feels they are in danger, or lie down flat against their skin if the kugraw wishes them to do so. In this way, the quills act similarly to how goosebumps and forearm hairs react on humans.

Their skin has somewhat of a leathery texture to it, like a reptile’s, and sports scale-like plating that is dotted intermittently along their limbs. Their heads are squarish with a short snout like a lizard’s, and they have bony ridges of that same scale-plating around their eyes and the front of their face for protection. They are bipedal, standing on two digitigrade legs that end in feet with two large, talon-like toes.

Skin color diversity is not something regularly seen with kugraws. For the most part, their entire species is composed of shades of grey with the occasional hint of olive-drab or steel-blue thrown in. Eye color is more important to them- generally, based on the color of their irises, you can deduce which city-state their ancestors likely came from originally on the Gamma Plane, though there are exceptions to this. These colors include gold, blue, green, orange, and variations of each, such as amber or turquoise.

## **Society and Culture**

Despite their outward appearance, Kugraws tend to be the voice of peace and reason in the galaxy. Their council attempts to resolve most galactic matters in non-violent manners, often taking far longer to fix a problem than could be done through other methods. Some see this trend towards pacifism as something to be lauded or encouraged- others see it as the excuses of cowards who are too willing to try and please everyone rather than facing confrontation.

## **History**

Before the Ascensions, the Kugraw had several city-states in which each governor held power and influence over their individual area of the Plane, but maintained good relationships with the others. Understanding that a fractured people wasn’t going to be very effective when it came to colonizing the stars, the city-states came together to form a single government entity and held a democratic vote as to which governor would become the Chancellor of the newly united Kugraw people. In a surprise move that set the standard for years to come, the victor requested for the other governors to be appointed as his head advisors, forming a council around which all could put forth their opinions and have their voice heard, with the Chancellor ultimately having the final say. Though not yet in name, most believe this to be the moment the Hegemony was born.

Inner Galaxy

**The Inner Galaxy**is where the majority of Spectra's inhabitants live. It includes the territory of the Empire, the Hegemony, and parts of the Edge, as well as the Planes and Eden.

## **Layout**

### **Hegemony Space**

Hegemony Space is a large region of the galaxy where colonies and territories defer to the rule of the Kugraw Hegemony. This sector is larger than Empire space, but not by a great margin. It covers roughly one third of Spectra, borders the Umbra on one side, and includes the home-worlds of the Pykes and the Teregrine.

Planet ownership in this region of space is divided amongst which planets are most suitable for certain species; Pykes prefer worlds with heavier gravity, so while planets with that condition might be taxing for other species to cultivate, it might be ideal for them to colonize. Likewise, Nox enjoy colder natural temperatures and would be loathe to establish a territory on a world with concentrations of tropical biomes, but the Teregrine would feel right at home.

### **Empire Space**

The reaches of the Irvagaleni Empire are far and wide, making it the largest territory belonging to a single species’ government. The Hegemony still holds a greater overall area, but this is due to multiple species and their combined territories making up the total boundaries of Hegemony space.

The Irvagaleni have colonized a wide range of worlds in this sector. Though they prefer planets with humid or marshy environments, they have established cities, bases, and territories on everything from perfect garden worlds to inhospitable rocks of ice and snow. When it comes to claiming land for the Empire, no planet is unworthy of their notice.

As the Irvagaleni prefer to isolate themselves rather than take part in the greater galactic community, few specifics are known about Empire space and the worlds within it. Most acquired information has been through defectors of the Empire and visitors who were invited to enter, usually for trade purposes or diplomatic relations.
The Eternity Vault (Book)

**The Eternity Vault** is the sequel to The Mark of Eden. It takes place two years after the events of the first book, and follows Val and Note as they search for clues that might lead them to the legendary "Eternity Vault", a rumored Architect Vault of mysterious power that may be their only chance at stopping a horrific catastrophe.
Evocación

Evocación, es una rama de la magia que permite invocar energías de la nada. Está muy relacionado con la magia elemental, y permite invocar y controlar las fuerzas del mundo, ya sea para la lucha o para otros usos más pacíficos.

La Evocación permite también imbuir objetos con energía mágica que puede ser usada más tarde. La Evocación es usada a menudo junto a otras disciplinas. La Evocación estudia las energías mundanas, como la vida, los elementos, las fuerzas de la naturaleza, las emociones, las auras y otros muchos campos.

Esta magia es usada en combinación con otros tipos de magia y es una de las principales a la hora de luchar o en la vida cotidiana para mover, desplazar o destruir objetos.
Architect Era

Not much is known of **the Architect era** or anything predating it aside from that it was the main period in Spectra’s history during which the Architects reigned. It ended approximately 40,000 years ago when the Architects seemingly vanished without a hint as to why or where they might have gone. As for how long it lasted, historians are hesitant to place an exact estimate- but in however much time they had, the Architects accomplished a great deal.

During this era, the Planes were constructed and the chosen races were uprooted from their respective home-worlds to instead grow and evolve on the Planes. The Sentinels were also created during this time, or so say the estimates of most researchers who have done their best to study the elusive drones from afar.
Nox

### Distinctions

Vestigial wings at birth, cilia on ears, tuft of fur around neck, almost entirely black eyes, digitigrade

Raised on the Delta Plane, **the Nox** are an advanced race of mammalian bipeds that resemble chiropterans. They are among the four chosen races selected by the Architects to grow and evolve on the Planes.

## **Biology**

Towering at an average of nearly 8’ (2.44 meters), the Nox are the tallest of the sapient races in Spectra. They have been described as similar to giant bats, covered in short brown fur with a thick, light-colored tuft of it around their collar-bone and neck area. There are few sapient mammalian races in the galaxy, meaning they are in the minority of species that display such features like fur or mammary glands. They have large, sharp ears atop their heads from which cilia-like structures branch off the main body, similar to a moth’s antennae. Their eyes are almost entirely black, making it nearly impossible to see the pupil except under certain light conditions.

The Nox are born with thin, vestigial flesh on the exterior of their arms, likely what’s left from an earlier stage in Nox evolution when they could fly. That’s not possible nowadays, as these ‘wings’ are far too small and thin to support any amount of weight in the air for even a short period of time. Many are operated on at birth, removing the vestigial bits safely and with little effort before they grow up.

The most unique trait of the Nox is their difference in lifespan compared to the other races; while irvas and kugraws live to approximately 150-160 years at maximum, the Nox have been known to live at well over 1000, with the average Nox living anywhere from 600-800.

## **Society and Culture**

The Nox are perhaps in the most tentative position of any of the races in Spectra (excluding the Cell). Their republic was effectively dissolved on the same day of the Night of Screams, and as such they found themselves without direction, leadership, or protection. As a result, the survivors allied themselves with the Hegemony. Nowadays, the majority of the Nox still reside on the Delta Plane and focus on breeding efforts to boost their population’s numbers to what they once were.
Glyphonel Bo

**Glyphonel Bo**is an heir presumptive to the Irvagaleni Empire, and the daughter of Empress Cassana. She is known to be cold, calculating, and ruthless when it comes to achieving her goals. Her expected coronation has been met with controversial opinions, with some saying that she is exactly the kind of firm hand the Empire needs, while others are of the opinion that her mother's softer approach is preferable.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life**

As is the way with all heirs of the royal family, Glyphonel was trained from an early age to follow and uphold the beliefs of the Empire as its leader, even if she was not originally intended to fill the role. That responsibility was left to her older sister. However, after the mysterious disappearance of her elder sibling, the title of future empress fell to her.

Her training was rigorous and unrelenting, not just in the ways of political navigation but also in personal combat and defense, military strategy, economic sustainability, and more. All of this resulted in perhaps one of the most intelligent and cunning beings in Spectra.

### **The Mark of Eden**

Glyphonel is not mentioned by name in this book, but is talked about in passing during the crew of the *Manta's* game of Crooks and Crowns.

### **Spectra Sequel**

Though the extent of the role is unknown, it is confirmed that Glyphonel plays a major part in the second book of Spectra.
Pre-Ascension Era

**The Pre-Ascension era** covers the period of time between the Architects' disappearance and when the chosen races were uplifted by the Sentinels. Ending 2,998 years ago, this era was mostly filled with the evolutionary processes of Spectra’s races, as they became more and more behaviorally modern. While the chosen races lived out their lives on the Planes, so too did others like the Signon evolve and grow in the oceans of their home-world. This was a time of growth, of learning, and of progress.

No race is known to have been space-faring during this period aside from the possible exception of the Exodeists, as they are not natives to Spectra and most of their people’s history from that time has been lost. A great point of contention between the Irvagaleni and the Kugraw is which of them discovered the means with which to fish first. For a long time, the Irvas upheld that their race had done so as evidenced by cave drawings on their plane depicting tribal gatherings around campfires with baskets of fish- however, the recent discovery of a primitive fish-hook in the belly of a fossilized eel on the Gamma Plane seems to disprove that claim, and instead suggest that Kugraw fishing techniques predated the Irvas by nearly seventy years.
The Mark of Eden (Book)

**The Mark of Eden** is the first book in the series. The main plot follows Valentine and Note as they attempt to uncover the truth of their origins and unlock their hidden memories.

## **Summary**

Valentine has awoken with nothing but a name. Note awakens with nothing but a doctrine. Each has found themselves in Spectra, a strange galaxy with a unique and mysterious history.

Spectra is home to many different forms of life, all of whom revere a long-dead race of beings they call the Architects. Though they are now gone, there are still remnants of them left behind in the forms of their creations, the Sentinels, autonomous drones that enforce tenets all must follow. Then there's the enigma of Eden, an unknown anomaly in the center of the galaxy which the Sentinels fiercely protect.

As Val and Note are hunted down by a species of gene-splicers known as the Cell for reasons as of yet undiscovered, it will only be through the friendships and alliances they forge that they'll survive. They'll find purpose in one another through exploring the wonders of Spectra, taking it upon themselves to stop the Cell, and unraveling the hidden truth of their origins.
Gamma Plane

The **Gamma Plane** is a blend of arid grasslands and forestation separated by rivers and streams. To the north is tundra, not much more than cold, treeless landscapes of grass and rock. There are several known predators that live there, but not many that are brave enough to attempt an attack on a fully-grown Kugraw.
Kugraw Hegemony

The symbol of the Hegemony.

• Signon

• Nox

• Vett'iri (some)

• Teregrine

**The Kugraw Hegemony** is the main governing body for most citizens of Spectra. First created when the Kugraw encountered the Pykes, it has since grown in size with the added support and territory of each species that joins it.

Though a hegemony in name, the government's structure is closer to that of a republic; an elected chancellor works with a team of advisors meant to represent each major region of the Hegemony's territory.

It is the largest galactic government in Spectra, and the primary opposition to the Irvagaleni Empire.

## History

The Hegemony was first founded in AY 20, when the Kugraw discovered the Pykes. This was the first time any advanced species had been discovered that hadn't come from a Plane, and so there was great interest surrounding the incident. The Pykes had been trying to colonize a world in their local star system at the time, and offered to cohabitate it instead of taking it for themselves. The Kugraw accepted, and the two races entered into an agreement; the Kugraw would protect the Pykes and bring them forth into the greater reaches of the galaxy, and the Pykes would share their technological advancements with the Kugraw.

The second race to join the Hegemony was the Signon.
The Red Wave

**The Red Wave** was a devastating plague that occurred a little over 200 years before the events of the first book. It decimated the populations of entire worlds, and was nearly always fatal. Symptoms of infection were little red marks in the shape of waves that would appear on the skin of an afflicted individual. When the Exodeists arrived in Spectra, they quickly set about producing a vaccine and treatment for the plague, and succeeded within a few years. This event led to the acceptance of the Exodeists to the galactic community as a whole.
The Ascensions

When the time was right, the Sentinels uplifted the chosen races in what came to be known as the Ascensions, gifting them with technology that would allow them to expand outward and colonize. This technology was based off of Null Energy, a universal force discovered by the Architects. Whereas Dark Energy makes up the majority of the universe, Null Energy is what makes up null-space, the gap between the seams of physical reality. Null Energy allows ships to travel at faster-than-light speeds, to connect two points in space via rifts referred to as ‘Tears’, and much more.
Pyke

The Pykes were the first non-Plane species encountered by any of the chosen races. Standing at only 3’6 (1.1 meters) and generally red-skinned, the Pykes are somewhat impish in appearance. They are reptilian creatures with roundish bodies, black orb-shaped eyes, short arms and legs, and a crown of horns atop their heads. Despite not being a physical threat to most races, their intellect is not to be underestimated; even without being gifted Architect technology like the chosen races, they were space-faring and beginning to make strides into null-energy based tech at nearly the same rate.

The Kugraw found them only twenty years after the Ascensions when they attempted to make preparations to colonize a planet and discovered, to their surprise, that there was someone already living there. It was not the Pykes’ homeworld, but a neighboring planet in the same star system that they were attempting to terraform. Sensing the potential opportunity to further their race’s advancement, the Pykes volunteered to cohabitate the world instead, allowing Kugraw colonists to live with their people as opposed to one race keeping it all for themselves. The Kugraw agreed to this, and the first step of the two races’ future partnership was complete.

Throughout the Expansion Era and into the current millennium, the Pykes have proved themselves to be invaluable allies. They increased the technological productivity of the Kugraw people tenfold, developing new processes and devices with which to help ease the hardship of all life in Spectra. They helped establish the galactic economy and its value, and were the original proponents of the project that would become the Mercantile. Without their contributions, the galaxy would be far different than it is today.
Mowlin

**The Mowlins** are one of the more mysterious races of Spectra. There are few large populations of them anywhere in the galaxy as their lifestyle is almost always that of wandering nomads and they move around too much to ever establish a permanent presence in any place other than their home planet.

## Biology

Standing at an average of 6' (1.8 meters), their bodies are covered in short and ruffled fur. They are one of the only two races in Spectra to exhibit mammalian traits, the other being the Nox. They have two felid-like ears that rise from the sides of their head, and tufts of fur that trail off the ends of both and the edges of their faces. Their skulls are equipped with elegant fanged beaks made of a bony keratin that covers their lower jaw, though the inside of their maws is somewhat comparable to other species.

It is a Mowlin's core belief that the stars are to be explored. They hate to be tied down to any one place, any one group of people or person, though there are certainly rare individuals that contradict that behavior.
Signon

### Distinctions

Six legs, flat diamond-shaped tail, beaks for mouths, multiple sets of vocal cords

**The Signon** are one of the many species that call Spectra home. They were the second species to join the Kugraw Hegemony, and the third to comprise it overall.

## **Biology**

The Signon are an aquatic race with slick, muscular flesh that’s streamlined to move swiftly through water. They stand on six limbs, the front four of which act as large elongated legs that end in points. The hind legs are more traditional in their appearance, each of them following a digitigrade joint and bone structure with streamlined fins running from the outside of their thighs to their feet. Their torsos hunch over on land as they’ve evolved to swim and dwell near the bottom of the sea, and they have a fat, diamond-shaped tail on their rear to help with propulsion. Their heads are round with short necks, and they have a beak with mandibles adorning it rather than a traditional mouth of most sapient species in Spectra.

They have gills near the base of their shirt neck, right where it meets the collar of their chest. They can breathe out of water, but their skin dries out and begins to crack unless they are in heavily humidified environments. They aren’t considered slow on land, but they are far more efficient at mobility in water; while they’ve learned to walk and run among us, the Signon can swim at speeds of up to fifty miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour) while underwater.

Despite their relatively unattractive appearance to races other than their own, the Signon have evolved multiple sets of vocal cords and associated muscles that can each tune themselves to a specific pitch and frequency for the purposes of echolocation. Due to this, they often sound like an entire chorus when they speak and have earned a reputation as phenomenal singers in the entertainment industry. Many employers will prefer a signon singer over any other race as their range is better on average and they perform the work of several for the price of only one. These sets of vocal cords have also helped the Signon to adapt in their level of communication with one another, meaning that they can hold multiple conversations with other members of their species simultaneously, something which baffles other races when trying to keep track of the topic at hand.

## **Society and Culture**

Signon culture is difficult to observe, as the majority of their civilization on their homeworld of Decarro is underwater. It is known that they form strong attachments to their family members, and are fiercely protective of those close to them.
Night of Screams

**The Night of Screams** was a tragedy of incomprehensible proportions. The Cell, consumed with their obsession for genetic splicing and modification, attacked the Delta Plane with their entire fleet and began slaughtering and abducting the Nox to be used for vivisection, killing millions. The Cell did not escape completely unscathed, however, as the Sentinels retaliated with severe prejudice and destroyed many Cell ships in the process. Nevertheless, the Cells' attack was a success; they managed to combine the Nox's genetics with their own, giving themselves the millennia-long lifespans they desired.
Crooks and Crowns

**Crooks and Crowns**is a card game in Spectra. There are several varieties and rule sets, but the main game is played with a deck of 39 cards; three suits of blue, silver, and gold composed of thirteen each. There are ten numbers ranging from 1-10, and three 'celestials', a moon, a planet, and a star. Each of the celestials has a value of 15, and the ultimate objective of the game is to form a hand as close to a value of 25 as possible. Going over and under is allowed.

Each player is dealt two cards to start with. All players must choose one of their cards to show to the other players while keeping the other hidden. The player to the left of the dealer acts first, selecting either the shown card or hidden card from the player on their left to steal from, whichever they believe will help them most. This continues to the left in a circle until all players have one card they started with, and one card they've stolen from another player. Then, three cards are flipped over in the center of play; this is called 'the treasury'. Using both the card they started with, the card they stole, and one of the cards in the center, they must put together a hand that is as close to twenty-five as they can manage. The winner of the round is referred to as the 'Crown', and the loser is the 'Crook'. Depending on what the game is being played for, the Crown will take something of the Crook's; money, clothing, and secrets are all viable targets.

In the event of a tie, the breaker comes down to highest card. If both players have the same form of high card, the suit is taken into account; silver beats blue, and gold beats silver.

## Chronology

### Successor

Mazda Étude

The **Mazda MX-3** is a four-seat coupé manufactured and marketed by Mazda, introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1991 and marketed for model years 1992-1998.

The MX-3 was also marketed as the **Mazda MX-3 Precidia** in Canada and as the **Eunos Presso**, **Autozam AZ-3** and **Mazda AZ-3** in Japan. In Australia, it was marketed as the **Eunos 30X** until late 1996 when it became the **Mazda-Eunos 30X**.

## History

The MX-3's platform is called the EC platform and shares much with the BG platform of the contemporary Familia/323/Protegé. The first model year available for most markets, including North America where it went on sale in September 1991, was 1992. Originally available with a single-cam 1.6-liter inline-four or the twin-cam V6, a few more engines were available as development continued. In the summer of 1991, the Autozam AZ-3 was added to the Japanese market lineup.[3] It was known by two names; "Autozam" was meant to be Mazda's more youthful brand, so it combined a somewhat lower price with a sportier (but smaller) twin-cam four of 1.5 liters, and also sold as the Eunos Presso, a companion, affordable sports car to the Eunos Roadster.

The small-displacement V6 was offered to comply with Japanese government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement; Japanese buyers were liable for annual taxes for vehicles exceeding the regulations and large displacement engines, which would affect sales. Japanese buyers who were willing to pay the tax for larger vehicles were now given a choice of the FC series Mazda RX-7 and the JC series Mazda Cosmo.

In January 1994, a DOHC version of the familiar B6 engine, the *B6D*, replaced the previous version. This provided a useful power increase but conversely also made the considerably more expensive V6 version less desirable. Sales of the V6 in the United States market came to an end after the 1994 model year, although they continued in Canada, Japan, and many other export markets. While called *K8-DE* in North American specs, Japanese and other markets received an engine called the *K8-ZE*. Aside from emissions equipment and varying power claims due to myriad ratings methods, the differences are negligible.
Volkswagen Tarok

The **Volkswagen Tarok** is a compact pickup truck produced by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen from the spring of 2019 in Brazil.

## Concept Car

The Volkswagen Tarok premiered as a concept car at the São Paulo International Motor Show in Brazil on 6 November 2018.

The Tarok concept car was then introduced for the North American market at the 2019 New York International Auto Show.

Karma Automotive

**Karma Automotive** is a Californian luxury electric car automaker. The company is based in Irvine, California with manufacturing operations in Moreno Valley, California. It is owned by the Chinese automotive supply company Wanxiang Group.

## History

In February 2014, Chinese auto-parts supplier Wanxiang Group purchased assets of Fisker Automotive for $149.2 million in a bankruptcy auction. These assets included design, a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and a manufacturing facility in Delaware. Karma Automotive was formed in October 2015.

The purchase excluded the Fisker brand and trademarks owned by Henrik Fisker. In 2007, Fisker Automotive was founded by Henrik Fisker and his business partner Bernhard Koehler. Its Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid sports sedan debuted in 2011, and about 2,000 of the vehicles were sold. After Fisker's battery supplier A123 Systems filed for bankruptcy after two battery recalls, Fisker Automotive could not continue making vehicles, and the company declared bankruptcy in February 2014. Wanxiang also purchased A123 following its bankruptcy declaration. In early 2016, Karma Automotive enlisted a straw buyer in an attempt to reverse engineer technology from a parts supplier and former employee.

### Production Models

#### Revero

*Main article: Karma Revero*

The *Revero* is a luxury electric hybrid sedan based on the Fisker Karma, maintaining much of the original exterior and interior of the Fisker Karma, incorporating an A123 battery, charger, and electrical controls. Karma CRO Jim Taylor stated that this was intentional, as the company believes the original Fisker Karma still holds much appeal for consumers. The company began building the Revero in 2016 at its factory in Moreno Valley, California, with production set to begin in late 2016 or early 2017. The Revero debuted on September 8, 2016. Karma plans to manufacture 3,000 of the vehicles. Exclusivity is clearly another part of the Revero story with Karma's hopes to build close to 150 cars in 2018, and in the 200 to 300 range of cars in 2019. On April 11, 2019, Karma Automotive issued a recall and stop-sale order on all Revero vehicles, due to a flaw in the rollover sensors that would disable the side-curtain airbags.

#### Pininfarina GT

The Karma Pininfarina GT is a range-extender luxury electric hybrid coupe, based on the 2020 Revero chassis with a body by Pininfarina. It was introduced at the 2019 Shanghai auto show.

Honda Crossroad

The **Honda Crossroad** refers to two specific types of SUVs made by Honda. The first one is a rebadged Land Rover Discovery sold in Japan between 1993 and 1998, while the other is a vehicle developed by Honda for the Japanese market that was introduced in 2007.

## First-generation (1993–1998)

Honda marketed the **Crossroad** in the Japanese market. Honda replaced the Crossroad with its CR-V.

To date, the Crossroad is the only Honda to ever have a V8 engine. Even the flagship sedan and the sports car never had it.

The Crossroad had been marketed in Japan from October 1993 to 1998.

Problems had emerged regarding the marketing of Crossroad in Japan. For instance, Honda had threatened to end ties with Rover after the news that it was going to be sold to BMW.

Not only were there marketing issues related to the vehicle, but mechanical ones as well. Since the Crossroad was a rebadged Land Rover Discovery, it also had Land Rover's reliability issues carried over. In 1997, a recall was issued by Honda on the advice of the Ministry of Transportation due to a malfunction locking mechanism on the SUV's driver-side front door that could make the vehicle open while driving. Around 4,754 vehicles made from July 1995 to December 1996 were affected by the recall.

## Second generation (2007–2010)

The Crossroad name was resurrected as a new crossover SUV for the Japanese market in February 2007. The vehicle combines the exterior design of an SUV with the convenient size of a compact car and the 3-row seating and 7-passenger capacity. The Crossroad is designed for people to enjoy their active new lifestyles, targeting young couples in their 20s and 30s with small children.

Under the hood, the Crossroad sports one of two straight-4 engines of 1.8 L and 2.0 L in displacement. Both will be mated to the only available transmission: a 5-speed automatic. Honda's Real-Time AWD system has been thoroughly revised for the Crossroad. It now works in conjunction with stability and traction control as well as ABS brakes. For the first time in a Honda, the Crossroad will be equipped with Hill-Start Assist which temporarily maintains brake pressure after the brake pedal is released when starting on a hill. Under normal driving conditions, the Crossroad behaves as an FWD vehicle.

According to AutoWeek, Honda said it won't import the Crossroad to North America since their similarly-sized Element takes its place. Honda's crossover SUV lineup in the United States and Canada already has the Element, the mid-priced CR-V, and the larger Pilot, as all three models are made in North America.

It was reported that Honda did not export the Crossroad to Europe because of a voluntary commitment by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association to reduce average CO2 emissions in its European fleet to 140 grams per kilometer by 2009. As a result, Honda was reluctant to offer larger vehicles without a technological breakthrough.

On August 25, 2010, Honda posted on its Japanese website that the Crossroad was discontinued.
Acalia

## Biografía

### Familia

Tanto sus padres como sus cuatro hermanos siguen vivos, en otro Leviatán. Ella enviudó recientemente, siendo madre de dos infantes, niño y niña.

### Pertenencias

* Un pequeño navío de velas para distancias cortas.
* Su hogar, construido en el interior de una gruta costera.
* Los instrumentos de su oficio: la brujería.

### Historia

Nacida y criada en Alassar, estudió para ser una diestra comerciante junto a sus parientes, estudiando con especial interés otras culturas. Los continuos viajes fuera de Taukan la hicieron conocer todo lo que en realidad ignoraba en especial, lo belicosas que podían ser otras razas sin motivo aparente.

De entre toda esa extraña gente, encontró quien sería su mentora en cuanto al oficio de la herbolistería y la brujería. No fue algo vocacional, ni algo buscado para amasar poder o riquezas, simplemente encontró un método de supervivencia útil que se ajustaba a sus capacidades que por otro lado eran bastante nulas en combate.

La fuerza de la costumbre hizo que se enamorara de un no-indariano, circunstancia que provocó el rechazo por parte de su familia, emigrando Acalia y su pareja a otro Leviatán donde la pureza de sangre no fuese un valor en auge. Felizmente concibió un par de hijos, fuertes y de caracter noble que llegaron a conocer a su cariñoso padre antes de fallecer víctima de una de las muchas criaturas peligrosas que pueblan los mares.

Desde entonces, ha vivido prácticamente sola con sus niños, trabajando como curandera e incluso comadrona para las poblaciones cercanas.

Lincoln Blackwood

The **Lincoln Blackwood** is a pickup truck that was marketed by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company. Marketed in the United States and Mexico, it was the first pickup truck ever sold by the Lincoln division. Due to poor sales, it was only marketed in the United States for the 2002 model year and in Mexico for the 2002 and 2003 model year, making it the shortest-produced vehicle by the division.

The Blackwood was the first Lincoln manufactured outside the state of Michigan since 1958. It was produced at Ford's Kansas City Assembly in Claycomo, Missouri, from August 2001 to December 2002.

## Background

The Blackwood was a luxuriously-trimmed version of the Ford F-150 Crew Cab pickup truck and was greeted with enthusiasm after its debut at the North American International Auto Show in January 1999. Lincoln's success with the Lincoln Navigator emboldened the company to pursue the first-ever luxury pickup truck, and Cadillac was in hot pursuit with the Cadillac Escalade EXT.

## Overview

The Blackwood was only available in rear-wheel drive, SuperCrew cab configuration, with black exterior and interior. The truck bed was built as a trunk, with a power tonneau and plush carpeting. The box was manufactured from plastic composites but lined with stainless steel. The exterior of the bed featured aluminum pinstripes over artificial burled black wood. The Blackwood came with only one option, which was a navigation system with a 5" color screen. All of these luxury features limited the practical usability of the Blackwood and stood in stark contrast to the more utilitarian Cadillac, which was available with four-wheel drive. Only 3,356 Blackwoods were made in just 15 months of production, with the final models selling well below the invoice. The retail price was to be US$52,500. Lincoln had originally hoped for about 18,000 projected sales in 2002 and 2003 but had announced the discontinuation of the Blackwood before the 2002 model year was over. Among the factors behind the Blackwood's failure were high price and limited cargo versatility.

The Blackwood was delivered late, with first sales in October 2001, due to a supply problem with the cargo box, produced by Magna Steyr. Ford reportedly froze their contracts with Magna International for part of 2001 over the issue.

## Replacement

Lincoln recreated their unique luxury pickup truck as the Mark LT in the 2006 model year. However, they did not repeat many of the mistakes made with the Blackwood—particularly its lack of options and versatility. The Lincoln Mark LT was discontinued after the 2008 model year in the United States but sold in Mexico through 2014.

## Neiman Marcus Edition

Fifty special Blackwoods were built for the 2001 Neiman Marcus spring catalog. These Neiman Marcus Edition Blackwoods featured the company logo stitched into the headrests, a leather-wrapped rear-console lid with a 7-inch Panasonic wide-screen LCD DVD/Video-CD/CD player with wireless headphones and a cooler/warmer. This special Blackwood was priced at US$58,800.
