Astrography

There are two forms of astrography implemented across the known galaxy to enable accurate navigation; the Dominion system and the Earth system.

## Dominion Standard

The Dominion races use a coordinates system based on radians and the radius of the Milky Way galaxy, with "North" being defined as the straight line between Sagittarius A\* and the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy.

This system is used to uniquely identify both stars and unnamed planets. As an example;

To break down the example: **Main Yellow 2.55467-1.00209-0.1413-57.88811-3 Terrestrial Temperate 10**

**Main Yellow** relates to the type of star

**2.55467** is the horizontal deviation from North in radians

**1.00209** is the vertical deviation from North in radians

**0.1413** is a drift modifier to account for stellar drift, calculated using an algorithm that has not been canonically specified.

**57.88811** is the distance from Sagittarius A\*, expressed as a percentage of the galactic radius

**3** refers to the third planet from the most massive star

**Terrestrial Temperate 10** is the planet's classification

## Earth Standard

Earth-based vessels use a method based on existing human astral cartography, thus all entries are calculated as viewed from Earth. As it does not account for stellar drift, over long periods the Earth Standard would become increasingly inaccurate.

To break down the example of planet: **η Ithacae, 94.9° 12-GERBER-UNARY G2V III, “Heafield”**

**η Ithacae** is the closest named star to the planet, known as the 'catalog' star

**94.9°** is the angle of the planet's star in relation to the catalog star (0**°** being north, toward Polaris).

**12-GERBER** is the planet's star's precise location and distance at that angle. The first number is the deviation in arcseconds, and GERBER is the average distance from Sol in astronomical units, in base-36 (in this case, approximately 15690 lightyears).

**UNARY G2V** is the number of stars in the system, and the star type of the most massive. UNARY G2V indicates a lone G2V-type star, and would thus also describe Sol.

**III** indicates the third planet of the most massive star. If referring to a planet of a partner star in a binary (or greater) system, it would be B-III, C-III etc

**"Heafield"** is the planet's given name

Abducted Australian Military NCO, Human Disaster and likely the reason why the Hunters declared war on the human race.

After his abduction Adrian was severely injured battling his captors before being subdued. Sold to a crew who was working to Salvage the V’Straki warship *Zhadersil* he was provided with the Corti healing compound Cruezzir - however his gut flora mutated and now generate this continuously.

This drug has provided him with excellent fitness, a faster reaction time, and improved senses.

Adrian has an ongoing and ever-fleeting relationship with Jennifer Delaney.

*"Harden up, Saunders," he muttered to himself. "It's not as though there are bombs going off."That was about when the Zhadersil's intruder system activated, and the bombs started going off. - Salvage - Black Flag - Chapter 20*

Nightmare

Although it is given the highest classification of any known planet, Nightmare is reckoned by Julian Etsicitty to be rather easier to survive on than Earth thanks to its predictable strong seasons and planet-wide homogeneous biome.

## NIghtmare

### Inhabitants

*Unknown*

Introduced in chapter 10 Gains and Losses

Due to an extremely eccentric orbit Nightmare features extreme seasons, freezing at the equator in Winter, and flooding in summer as the poles melt.

Life on this planet has adapted for rapid, explosive competitive growth in the summer period, and long term survival during the winter period.
Anthony Costello

LT Anthony Costello is second-in-command of SOR HEAT under Owen Powell. He arrived at HMS Sharman with Butler, Newman and Parata ready to begin the arduous training to become HEAT operators. As an FNG, he was subject to additional scrutiny by the then-current members to ensure that he would be a good fit for both the unit and for command of it. Costello hails from Canada. He has so far been involved with the unnamed mission to planet Aru where Zane Reid was captured as a biodrone and ongoing operations on Gao securing the Farthrow station and Lavmuy Spaceport complex.

LT Costello is relentless in his quest for improvement. He is always watchful for ways to improve himself (tactically and strategically) and the other members of his command.
Akyawentuo

**Unclaimed Space, Near 3Kpc Arm**

Home of "The People" - Ten’Gewek - a Mammalian race of Stone Age bipedal species who were targeted for extermination by the Hierarchy.

## Notable Flora and Fauna

### Flora

* Ketta Tree - *Akyawentuo Ketta Ketta.* The Ketta Tree holds a sweet sap that can provide instant hydration.

* Forestfather Tree - *Akyawentuo Pater Silvam.* The Forestfather Tree is an enormous solid structure with large branches. Its diameter is comparable to that of an American Redwood.

### Fauna

* Werne - *Akyawentuo Werne Vulgaris*

Alpha-of-Alphas (former)

The Alpha-of-Alphas is the supreme Hunter, overseeing all other brood Alphas. It is a strong and fierce warrior, known for its many battle victories.

The Alpha-of-Alphas is also one of the most heavily augmented Hunters, possessing far more implants and upgrades than most others. It is also the only Hunter with full knowledge of the Hierarchy.
An Eventful Month

**An Eventful Month** is the third chapter of The Deathworlders by /u/Hambone3110.

## Synopsis

Terri Boone and Kevin Jenkins' roadtrip has snowballed into a large convoy of alien abductees. Terri finds herself unable to ignore that their experiences all corroborate each other's and takes special note of Hazel Naylor's notes and sketches.

Meanwhile in Canada, a new facility for extraterrestrial research has been established in the small town of Scotch Creek, BC. General Tremblay and one of the researchers, Captain Claude Nadeau, test a prototype of more powerful variations of kinetic pulse weaponry. Although they conclude that electrostatics are effectively worthless in weaponry, their research has yielded the secrets to other applications such as forcefields and advanced electronics.

Meanwhile at Capitol Station, Councillor Kirk is lamenting the political climate within the Interspecies Dominion when he receives an invite to Councillor Vedregnenug's private garden aboard the station. While discussing the rare Earth flora behind one of the containment fields, Vedreg reveals to Kirk that in a narrow vote, the entire Sol system has been quarantined using a system containment field.

## Trivia

* Two major updates have been made to this chapter reflecting the more concrete canon from later in the series:
	+ Terri's descriptions of the aliens in Hazel's sketches was totally reworked; the revised version includes descriptions of Corti, Vzk'tk, Rrrrtktktkp'ch, Kwmbwrw, Qinis, Locayl, Mjrnhrm, Allebenellin, Guvnurag and Hunters (in that order) as well as descriptions of Dizi rats, Gricka and Vulza.
	+ Kirk's contemplations on the member parties of the Dominion was also revised, now mentioning the Corti Directorate, the Grand Houses of Kwmbwrw, the Rauwryhr Federation, the Chehnash state and the Clans of Gao.

Quod Erat Demonstrandum

Quod Erat Demonstrandum is a Jenkinsverse series by /u/devourerkwi. It details the first Corti abductions of humans, set in 70 AD (~1,950y BV).

Although not officially considered to be part of the Jverse canon, its events and the character of Lucius are directly referenced in The Deathworlders, chapter 11, suggesting that it may be semi-canon.
0084

0084 Is the Hierarchy agent who controlled the biodrone directly responsible for Sara Tisdale's murder. This biodrone - Christof Lehmann - was a German employee of the Moses Byron Group equipped with a ceramic implant, that wasn't detectable at the time. 0084 has vacated the drone since, but left it alive for unknown reasons. The ex-drone is now housed at Camp Tebbutt Biodrone Internment facility, in Alaska.

After the unplanned murder, the Hierarchy saw its operation severely compromised. 0084's superior 0004 therefor reassigns him to the much less hands-on task of monitoring the Hunters under the supervision of 0020. In Hierarchy terms this would presumably be considered a severe demotion.
Back Down To Earth

**Back Down To Earth** is the 23rd chapter of The Deathworlders by u/Hambone3110.

## Synopsis

Xiu along with Julian, Allison are rescued by the SOR and Ayma and Regaari plan a trip to Earth to see her; Adam learns of Ava's infidelity and the two come to an uneasy truce before Ava leaves with Sean for London; Kevin gets hired by both Moses Byron and Darcy; and Kirk, Vedreg and Lewis make it to Mrwrki Station.

The Xiù Chang Saga

***The Xiù Chang Saga*** is a series of short stories originally posted to /r/HFY by /u/hume\_reddit. The series begins only days prior to the Vancouver Incident and follows the first few years of Canadian abductee Xiù Chang following her abduction.

## Final Part

### Date

2015-02-14

The final part of the Saga was posted to reddit in February 2015. Consequently, the narratives of the various characters, including Xiù, Regaari, Ayma and Yulna were continued in The Deathworlders.

## Parts

### Part 1

* Monkeys Reaches Stars
* The Tiger's Cub
* Rat in Sheep's Clothing
Corti Directorate

While it is the opinion of most beings that the Corti are amoral, self-serving and callous, it would be more accurate to say that the Corti are simply pragmatic cowards who view the universe in terms of "us versus them". They pride themselves on their intelligence, however, and not without good reason: they recognize that should the rest of the galaxy decide to be rid of them, even with their superior technology, they would not stand a chance. So instead the Corti have spent a great amount of time and effort in making themselves utterly essential so that even if some species *were* to decide that all Corti should be destroyed, a dozen other species would jump in to defend the way of life that Corti science has made possible. The Corti Directorate directs and guides their efforts to remain indispensable to the galaxy as a whole.

The Falel Brotherhood

Masonic cult of vegans. Sounds absurd, but that’s what it should be. They’re really sketchy, but also secretive. They have many symbols and identifiers on their bodies whenever possible.

## Original Version

Think of a mixture of a buffalo and a laid-back, drug-free hippie).

Government: The Brotherhood. The Falel do not have a formal government, at least not in the sense that other races do. They have developed an informal pact to look out for each other and cooperate in mutually beneficial ventures without the need for formal bureaucratic structures in a way that other races have not been successful in doing.

Homeworld: Cahalah.

Description: The Falel are a race of highly evolved herd herbivores. They prefer a relatively simple life, and in general are peaceful and cooperative. Although they are peaceful in nature, they are very capable of defending themselves. They have developed advanced armor and defensive systems on their ships.

Xeno-psychology: The Falel are friendly and peaceful in nature, but due to their herbivore natures, and due to what they have observed in their interstellar travels, they are slow to trust other races. Once their trust is earned, they are loyal.

Motivations: The Falel’s motivations are simple, protect the herd and provide a good future for generations of Falel yet to come. They don’t like a lot of drama, and in general will try to stay out of the political interactions of other races. For the most part, the want non-stressful interactions with other races, and barring that, to be left alone.
Biofilter

*The latest and best in Corti medical science, these devices scan the body of anything passing through them for harmful infectious bacteria, viruses, prions and parasites both micro- and macroscopic, and eradicates them. The commercial version is even smart enough to recognize human symbiotic gut flora and let it pass, though humans may still suffer some gastric distress after passing through such a field, and report feeling very strange for a few seconds after using it. The screen is not perfect, however, and bacteria especially can return to a significant population size in mere hours, necessitating a more permanent solution if the user intends to stay for some time.*

0002

0002 is the *de facto* leader of the Hierarchy. Because 0001 is rarely compiled and run, 0002 is almost always the final authority on all decisions that reach it.

## History

Sixty-five million years ago, the current 0001 originally held the title of 0002. When Tnaes - the original developer of the Hierarchy command structure - passed on, it was promoted to position 0001. (The current 0002 did not exist at that time.)
Vzk'tk

Vzk'tk by /u/MafiaPenguin007

**Vzk'tk** are a sapient species of hexaform giraffe-like creatures, and one of the two Vzk'tk Domain member species.

## Physiology

To human eyes, a Vzk'tk resembles a blue zebra-striped giraffe with arms. Their galactic reputation for stupidity is not completely unfair - they really are not the brightest bulbs around - but psychologically they are not entirely dissimilar to humans, forming close-knit (and large) families headed by a bonded adult couple. Vzk'tk do not, however, have a human's instinctive love of challenge and competition.

## Culture

Vzk'tk are numerically the most populous species in the galaxy, and can be found anywhere, doing anything. They are shopkeepers, ship crew, dockworkers, technicians, administrative assistants, clerks, laborers and more, though they usually defer administrative roles to their "cousin" species the Rrrrtktktkp'ch, or to any other species they recognise as being "smarter" than themselves.

The shared language of the Vzk'tk and the Rrrrtk, "Domain", is generated as a rapid hail of clicks, coughs, glottal stops and choking noises in the back of their throats that is unpronounceable to all other species, and incomprehensible to most.
Builder Alpha

The **Builder Alpha-of-Alphas** (formerly, **Alpha of the Brood-that-Builds**) is the first ever Alpha-of-Alphas from the Brood-that-Builds.

Unimpressed by the incumbent Alpha-of-Alphas after the fall of the Builder Hive, The Builder Alpha took its position by slaying it, ushering in a new age of austerity and conservatism amongst the Hunters.
Dominion shuttle

The **Dominion standardized shuttle** encompasses the worst of a galaxy-wide bureaucracy when it comes to its design. As a direct result of standardization of parts and mandatory regulations on accessibility/usability/serviceability by over a 150 different species; the final result is a grey box. Which happens to fly.

While it might seem mocking to describe the most widespread shuttle model in the galaxy as a grey box, in truth, this description is about as accurate as it gets. The shuttle is rectangular in shape, with a window/view port on the front and a loading ramp on the back. There are no external decorations or parts. Kinetic propulsion systems are present within the hull, and forcefields are used in lieu of landing gear, adding again nothing to the base shape. Also, it is colored grey. It's a flying grey box.

On the inside, it's also grey. At the front end of the cabin are very basic flight controls, once again in keeping with the accessibility regulations. Or in other words, there's not much there besides a destination input and a go-button. The go-button, in all likelihood, is also grey. There is no bulkhead present between the cockpit and the cargo hold, meaning that, in case of hull breach, a failure of the atmosphere-retention fields will result in the loss of everyone on board.

The cargo hold is quite sizable, at least to humans. It is described as being able to hold two Guvnurag, or many more of any smaller species. For (un)loading the cargo hold, the shuttle requires an enclosed flight deck or landing bay, since docking capabilities are not featured on the craft. One could probably blame some regulation for that as well.

Thanks to shaped forcefields, the Dominion standard shuttle is capable of atmospheric flight. If these ever were to fail, the thing will drop like a brick, much akin to its natural aerodynamic shape. Whether atmospheric or exo-atmospheric, the shuttle never gets up to much speed, as that would probably be too exciting. Also, it's grey.
Myun

A young Gaoian female first seen as a cub among the abducted colonists who were imprisoned alongside Xiù Chang, **Myun** has since grown into a formidably large and strong Mother, and accompanied Mother-Supreme Yulna as her bodyguard and personal assistant until her death. She now serves as the head Guard-Mother. Post Homeworld War, she has rebuilt the Clan of Female's guard force from a token of safety into a formidable security force.

While in late cubhood and early adulthood her obsession with human culture led her to study a variety of martial arts forms. She took inspiration from numerious forms and developed a Gaoian martial art form that worked with the alien body plan. Training and experimenting with those forms led her to be the most competant guard-sister to survive the opening of the war.

She suffered a serious wound to her muzzle from a fusion blade in the opening momeents of the war from a biodroned guard-sister. It left a battle scar that has healed substantially with cruezzir treatment, but is still visibly worn with pride.

She wields a large fusion edged sword, designed for the Gaoian body plan with her higher-than-average strength in mind.
Dragon Dreams

**Dragon Dreams** is the 21st chapter of The Deathworlders by /u/Hambone3110.

Unusually, this chapter contains no time- or location-stamps, since it forms a single cohesive narrative aboard the *Sanctuary*.

## Synopsis

Kirk and the crew of *Sanctuary,* with Xiù Chang on board, continue their attempts to investigate the planet Aru and the OmoAru decline. Their attempts are stymied by a fortnight of relentless sandstorms, and they are forced to batten down and wait.

Xiù becomes the unwitting nexus of some drama - her arrival on the ship shakes things up, with Lewis being openly fascinated by her and Julian struggling with feelings of guilt over his own attraction to her considering his relationship with Allison. Spurred by the (hitherto undiagnosed) hormonal effects of the *Huh*, Julian has arguments with both Lewis and Allison.

Meanwhile, Kirk makes contact with the Cabal via hidden functionality in *Sanctuary*'s Corti Blackbox Drive; Lewis grows suspicious over the evidence this contact leaves in the ship's logs and begins to investigate.

Julian and Allison reconcile, and Allison admits to being "fascinated" by Xiù herself. The two girls have a heart-to-heart and decide to enjoy a good time together, in that they watch *Mulan* while Julian serves them drinks and snacks with his shirt off.

That night, Lewis' attempts to diagnose the strange activity in *Sanctuary's* drive reveals their location to the Hierarchy, who attack. The ship flees Aru, comes under attack from an experimental Hierarchy dreadnought. Amir is badly wounded, and gives his life ranming *Sanctuary* into the hostile ship, destroying both. Allison, Julian and Xiù are separated from the others as they attempt to abandon ship, and are briefly exposed to the vacuum of space before they can activate their life raft.

Badly wounded by vacuum exposure, the three instruct the liferaft to return to civilized space at its top speed of one kilolight. The journey will take five years, so they activate the raft's stasis function as well.

From their perspective, the instant they press the button they are immediately rescued by Adam Arés and the SOR. Kirk's, Vedreg's and Lewis' fates are unknown.

## Trivia

* The title *Dragon Dreams* is a reference to the naming scheme for the parts of The Xiù Chang Saga, each of which contained an animal of the Chinese zodiac. It is also a reference to Xiù's vivid and chaotic dreams, which are threaded through the chapter.

Weaponized Einstein-Rosen Bridge System

The Weaponized Einstein-Rosen Bridge System ("WERBS") is an extremely powerful military weapon developed by humans. It functions by combining a minigun with the simultaneous space-time distortions of both a Jump Drive and a Warp Drive.

A WERBS wormhole annihilates all traversing matter, converting it entirely to energy. Firing conventional ammunition into a WERBS wormhole will result in each round being converted into the equivalent of a large thermonuclear bomb. Because the exit of a very small wormhole can be placed reasonably accurately without the use of a beacon, WERBS can be used to blanket a large region of space in nuclear hell.

WERBS was first used in Chapter 40: War on Two Worlds - Part 4: Retaliation to repel the Swarm of Swarms as it approached Gao.
Huh

Given to Lewis Beverote by one of the OmoAru living on their homeplanet Aru. It is perfectly spherical with no markings of any kind. Even under scanning by scientific instruments, the object looks identical from all angles.

When examined for a short while by Lewis, Zane Reid, Kirk, Julian Etsicitty, each loses track of time, as though it were some kind of drug. The intense focus on the Huh is strongest with Kirk, causing him to completely ignore and forget everything that is said in the 5 minutes he holds the Huh. Their hormone levels are disrupted for several days after inspecting the Huh, and each feels a strong compulsion to continue inspecting it. The hormone imbalance is strongest in the humans, causing them to pick fights over nothing. Zane is studying the Huh for a while before he knocks out Allison Buehler with it and flees the ship Sanctuary, but Zane may already be too crazy for the Huh to seriously affect him.

Julian ties it up in his shirt and gives it to Allison for safekeeping since she has not studied it. It ends up on Earth, where scientists try many things, but conclude anything that would penetrate the Huh would probably destroy it completely. They hypothesize it might be a spherical forcefield of some kind.

### Origin and purpose

Lewis later notes that the entire OmoAru population is intimately augmented with nanotechnological cybernetics, and suggests that these implants are used to stimulate their brains' pleasure centres and keep them in a delirious stupor. He theorizes that the Huh is an "aggression inducer" intended to motivate the OmoAru scientists working to find a solution to the problem and keep them from drifting off into a euphoric trance.
Call Signs

The SOR and affiliated branches are, in good military tradition, quite fond of call signs. These are written in FULL CAPS at all times, and between "parentheses" when inserted between first and last names. This list is ever-growing as new characters join the story or earn their own call signs. If you can not find the capitalized word you're looking for here, there is a chance you'll find it in the code names or abbreviations lists.

Hierarchy

The **Hierarchy** is an organization of sapient digital beings and the leadership of Igraen society. Hierarchy agents are able to move through computer networks, create backups of themselves, and can be resurrected from backup if needed. Agents are able to infiltrate neural implants, taking control of the attached body and using the body as a host.

The Hierarchy uses its abilities to keep its existence secret from the wider galactic community, largely controlling both the Dominion and Alliance. It possesses vast economic and technological power, which it uses to maintain its position as the secret apex beings in the galaxy.

## Organization

Hierarchy agents have a linear command structure, with 0002 at the top, and all others in sequential order. Orders given by a higher-ranking agent must be followed, although discussion and debate may be allowed.

Non-numbered agents ("Zeroes") do not have a place in the Hierarchy command structure. They cannot use neural implants to hijack bodies or read memories, but can access sensory data.

One might notice that 0002 is considered the top-level agent. 0001 only exists as a gestalt consciousness of all living Igraens and typically only compiled when it is necessary to make a major decision or enact a plan or contingency. In the past, when One has been compiled, the effects have been described as dataspace buckling under the increased load. The Cabal are attempting to affect the outcome of decisions made by 0001 through increasing dissent prior to compiling time.

Alternatives

**Alternatives** is the eighth chapter of The Deathworlders by /u/Hambone3110.

## Synopsis

After spending a night in a Portland, Oregon hotel, Terri Boone continues her return journey to San Diego. Only minutes away from home, Terri's home security system alerts her to an intruder through her smartphone. When she arrives outside her apartment, she arms herself with the emergency pistol kept in her car and enters via the fire escape. Bursting through her bedroom door into the living room, she is confronted by Mr. Johnson holding his own gun and waiting to kill her. Johnson attempts to shoot her, but Terri fires first, killing him.

Kirk and *Sanctuary*'s only remaining human occupant, Darragh Houston, arrive at Cimbrean, the base of the notorious Crew of the Zhadersil. Since the crew are lead by a human, the GRA intend to use Cimbrean as the first human colony, with Darragh being sent to deliver this message.

3y2m AV, *Pandora* releases another wormhole beacon into Earth orbit, this time permitting an embassy station for the Celzi Alliance.

## Trivia

* The "famous mustached physicist" on Terri's television and the GRA's British representative are likely references to real figures Neil deGrasse Tyson and Boris Johnson respectively
* Much of the section where Kirk leaves Darragh was added in a later revision, presumably to give context to readers who hadn't read Salvage.
* The opposing perspective of Kirk's conversation with Cimbrean control is shown in Salvage, Chapter 38: The Best Policy, along with the remainder of Darragh's story.

Newex

The Newex are a fairly obscure race, with a small population on one single planet. The only reason that they are even remotely relevant, is that their past is used as a stern reminder for the laws on nanofactories.

The Newex got access to nanofactory technology, not by own design, but because someone gave it to them. The consequences of a self multiplying machine that eliminates the need for just about all jobs outside the service industry, were catastrophic. Unemployment numbers of over 60% lead to mass starvation and death. This in turn lead to riots and political instability, and a near complete societal collapse.

Even 200 years after the fact, the Newex still haven't recovered to even half of their population number from before the collapse.
Vemik

Vemik Sky-Thinker

Vemik is a young adolescent of the People who has recently passed into adulthood. Extremely intelligent and curious, he is often lovingly (and indulgently) teased for his “Sky-Thinking,” which is the People’s ill-developed concept for abstract reasoning. His capacity for this Sky-Thinking stayed Yan’s spear on First Contact, earning him the respect of all. Physically he is quite small for a man of the People but even so he’s an easy wrestling match for Julian and, given his youth, will certainly grow well into his adulthood. He learned “Engwish” quickly and precociously, though not perfectly; certain sounds give him trouble.
WITCHES

WITCHES - that’s WIde aTtainment CHarging Energy System -

"can take photons from any local stars or whatever and convert them into stored energy. The bigger the field, the faster we charge. Once that’s finished and installed, in theory, Pandora could go from dry to fully charged in less than a minute just by sunbathing.”
Vedregnenug

Vedregnenug, or Vedreg to his close associates is a Guvnurag introduced in Chapter 0.2 of The Kevin Jenkins Experience as a lawyer investigating Kevin's case after the Hunter attack on Outlook on Forever

We are re-introduced to him as Councillor Vedregnegnug (five years after the attack), Kirk's ally in the government of the Guvnurag Confederacy.

After investigating his secretary's sudden death to a cerebral hemorrhage; he is contacted by 0006 and informed about the Hierarchy. Determining that he is targeted for assassination he set a trap, and has his implants removed.

After being rescued by Kirk and his team he provided them with this critical information about the real threat.
Deathworld

Any temperate planet with a Planetary Classification of 10 or higher is deemed to be a deathworld.

Such planets are extremely inhospitable to non-native life forms, even those from other deathworlds and require special training, equipment and biological adaptations to survive even in apparently safe areas.

"Deathworlds have things like high gravity, poisonous plants and critters, lots of carnivores, nasty little microorganisms, natural disasters like earthquakes or volcanoes, acid rain, high background radiation, stuff like that. ... anything that evolves there is supposed to be really goddamn dangerous." - Kevin Jenkins, *Run, Little Monster*
Guvnuragnaguvendrugun

Image by u/Sharix

**Guvnuragnaguvendrugun** or **Guvnurag** are a class 9 species from the planet Guvendruduvundraguvnegrugnuvenderelgureg-ugunduvug.

## Physiology

"Shambling hillocks of shaggy fur who communicated in part via bioluminescence."

"Where the Rrrrtk eye had two kinds of color-receptive cell, the Guvnurag one outstripped even humans at *five*, and the emotive bioluminescent lines on their flanks made full use of that chromatic agility. It was like trying to hear music that was written partially outside of his hearing range, or like trying to read a book where three fifths of the words were printed in an ink that was only visible in the ultraviolet."

"Enormous shaggy-furred aliens with disproportionately small heads that looked like a cuttlefish with floppy bunny ears."

## Known Chromatic Emotes

Guvnurag are an expressive and emotional people, and unless practiced in controlling their chromatophores, tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves, almost literally.

The following is a partial and growing list of known emotional indicator colors given by Guvnurag throughout the Deathworlders Canon, as closely as they can be approximated by human trichromatic vision. As such some emotions appear identical in standard vision.
Exorcisms

**Exorcisms** is the 20th chapter of The Deathworlders by /u/Hambone3110.

## Synopsis

The *Sanctuary* crew make it to Aru and rescue Xiù, Zane gets kicked out, Folctha mourns Sara, Adam thinks about a military career, Powell gets counselling and the Cabal is formed.

## Trivia

* This is the first chapter to use the name "The Deathworlders", as seen in the first line in the reddit thread (though the name had been suggested as the working title prior).

Terri Boone

## Overview

**Terri Boone** was a private investigator hired to find alien abductees who had returned to Earth. She found Kevin Jenkins just as the Hunters attacked Vancouver.

As Terri's investigation progressed, she began to question the motives of her employer, Mr. Johnson. After the assignment drew to a close, Terri was nearly ambushed by Mr. Johnson at her apartment, but she was able to enter through the window and kill him first. Detective Gabriel Arés investigated the killing and ruled it justifiable homicide.

As Terri continued to investigate her former employer, she stumbled upon evidence of the Hierarchy. Fearing for her life, Terri stored her findings on Google Drive, and sent the username and password to Kevin. Her fears turned out to be well-founded when another Mr. Johnson appeared and killed Terri in a surprise ambush.
Forcefield

A cornerstone technology with nearly unlimited industrial, civilian and military applications, **forcefields** (more correctly called **projected electrostatic force constructs**, or simply **electrostatic fields**) are "virtual" solid surfaces created by powered emitters which mimic the same intense interatomic electrostatic fields which cause physical objects to have solidity. Forcefields are also energized by electromagnetic radiation, and in sunlight, they produce more excess energy than they use.

Forcefields have a huge variety of uses, including:

* Creating holographic projections which are just as physically solid to the touch as the real thing.
* Giving spaceships an aerodynamic profile for atmospheric flight.
* A small electrostatic pulse emitted with forward velocity can be used offensively, this being the principle behind kinetic pulse weaponry.
* Use as solar panels, effectively producing unlimited energy. This is the principle behind WITCHES.
* Shielding from enemy ship-fire and reflecting the excess energy at the aggressor in lieu of weaponry (as pioneered by Lewis Beverote in designing the *Momentum*).

In human parlance, one of the major mathematical principles behind electrostatics is called *Bartlett's law* after Ted Bartlett.

It should be noted that while they may appear similar, the System Defense Fields are *not* classic forcefields, instead operating on Guvnurag technology many hundreds of years in advance of human understanding.
Alpha-of-Alphas

**Alpha-of-Alphas** is the title given to the leader of the Hunters. To take the title, a hunter must slay the incumbent Alpha-of-Alphas, or if it died from some other cause, slay a Vulza.

Over the course of The Deathworlders, two hunters have held the title Alpha-of-Alphas:

* Alpha-of-Alphas (former), prior to 15y6m1d AV, or Chapter 47: Hellfall
* The Builder Alpha, after 15y6m1d AV, or Chapter 47: Hellfall
Deathworlders Wiki

> *The galactic bureaucracy of the Interspecies Dominion has long considered it impossible for those planets classified as “Deathworlds” to produce intelligent civilizations. The daily challenges of simply surviving on those disaster-wracked, plague-ridden, predator-haunted hellholes would surely favor base animals driven by instinct, rather than thinking sophonts.*

Btoan

Btoan is a war strategist for the Igraen House of Cannons. Her primary task is the development of novel advancements against the V'Straki for the war. She is clever and ruthless.

## Character Summary

Early in life, Btoan's cunning earned her the attention of the House of Cannons. She was trained in combat strategy, eventually becoming the chief strategist for the war with the V'Straki. When the CATACLYSM project is reactivated, she coordinating with Tnaes and Kraol to execute it.

In the course of her duties, Btoan is capable of managing many major tasks and projects, though the stress causes her to lash out at those around her.

After the war, Btoan's digital version held the title of 0003 within the newly-formed Hierarchy.
Ration spheres

Grey of colour, spheroid of shape, devoid of taste and doughy of texture, ration spheres are a cheap food product nearly ubiquitous among space travelling vessels, if only as an emergency supply.

Also known as 'nutrient spheres' or 'nutrient supplements', one will be a satisfactory meal for most non-humans. Humans, however will require four or more per sitting (enhanced humans will require far more).

The spheres will supply almost all of a human's dietary requirements, though several mineral supplements will be required for long-term health, calcium in particular. (Rat in Sheep's Clothing)

A similar product is the 'meal tablet', a somewhat smaller product, though one will still prove a meal for a Corti. *Twelve* (possibly more) were required for 'the morning' by Adrian Saunders, post enhancement. (Salvage 02 - Food)
Misfit

BGEV-11 Misfit is the eleventh ship in the Byron Group Exploration Vehicle program, crewed by:

* Xiù Chang (Pilot)
* Allison Buehler (Flight Engineer)
* Julian Etsicitty (Field Researcher)

Her notable achievements include:

* First crewed human spaceship to land on the planet Mars
* Discovered the planet Lucent
* Discovered the planet Akyawentuo
* Made first contact with the Ten'Gewek.
