Alentro Quadrant

The **Alentro Quadrant** was an area of disputed space that was, originally, in Peacekeeper Space on the border of the Scarran Empire. During the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, the area was invaded by the Scarrans and the Peacekeeper forces there withdrew. The region remained in Scarran space for many cycles afterward, undisputed largely due to the truce.

The Alentro Quadrant is not recognized as a galactic quadrant by the United Federation of Planets, and is a term only used by the Peacekeepers.

## Source

The Altrno Quadrant is mentioned during the *Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars* miniseries.
Central Spacecraft Register

The **Central Spacecraft Register** was a database of the Terran Federation's that contained information on every known spacefaring vessel recorded by humans. The database extended back at least 700 years, including information on the disappearance of *Wanderer K47*. Orac was able to access this database easily.

Arbiters

**Arbiters** are an important part of the judicial system in the Terran Federation. Tribunals of three arbiters oversee both criminal and civil trials, though most of the work -- such as sentencing and reviewing the evidence -- is usually handled by computers. In rare cases, such as the trial of Travis, the arbiters themselves decided on the sentence.

Three arbiters were also required to oversee combat procedures in the Teal-Vandor Convention.

Ven Glynd served as the Arbiter General for the Civil Administration's Justice Department.
Aldeans

The **Aldeans** were an advanced humanoid species native to the planet Aldea. They were very physiologically similar to humans, and -- in fact -- were visually indistinguishable. They and their planet were considered legends for thousands of years, since they had developed a cloaking device to hide their homeworld as early as 5,000 BCE.

According to these legends, the Aldeans were said to have given up violence and devoted themselves to culture and art. The central philosophy of their people was "for everything taken, something must be returned." This generous philosophy led them to incredible artistic and technological heights.

Aldean society is separated into social groups or units that specialize in particular arts and sciences. Students within these groups were fully dedicated to studying that specialty. The Aldean educational system was so proficient that a student's natural abilities in an expertise would already begin blossoming within hours or days of beginning lessons.

However, the impact of the cloaking device was extremely harmful to the environment of Aldea. It depleted their ozone layer, exposing virtually the entire population to harmful radiation from their planet's sun. By 3364 CE, the entire population of Aldea was infertile, no children had been born for almost 30 cycles, and most of the planet's flora and fauna had gone extinct.

In the hope of preserving their society, Radue contacted the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701-D). They offered to trade their advanced scientific and artistic knowledge in exchange for some of the children from the *Enterprise*-D. The crew of the *Enterprise*-D declined the offer -- so the Aldeans kidnapped the children. Ultimately, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to prove that the Aldean cloaking device was responsible for their situation. The United Federation of Planets had the medical technology to treat and reverse the radiation damage -- allowing the Aldeans to have their own children again.

The Aldeans returned the children to the *Enterprise*-D and set about relearning and reexamining their technology as they prepared to join the galactic culture.

Alicia Reynaud

**Alicia Reynaud** was a successful businesswoman associated with Ferrous Corp in the year 2947, whose company had developed the Blink Drive. She was catered to by her asssitant Mars Hughes.

Unfortunately for Reynaud, the key to the blink drive was pickpocketed by Das. Reynaud sent men to reclaim it by any means necessary -- which ultimately drove Das to flee. As a result, the key ended up aboard the *Raza*.

Reynaud's further attempts to get the key resulted in failure, with the crew of the *Raza* ultimately commandeering the blink drive in its entirety.

Alana Lichtenstein

**Alana Lichtenstein** was a human official for the United States of America's Immigration and Naturalization Service at the beginning of the 21st century (by Earth's calendar.) When the crew of *Moya* visited Earth, Alana was given the opportunity to interview Rygel XVI -- an experience she later discussed on the television special "Alien Visitation". She found that -- despite his appearances -- he must have been doing "something right".

## Source

Alana Lichtenstein is a character from the *Farscape* universe.
Auron

**Auron** is a planet that was colonized by humans as a scientific research facility. Research on the planet developed a number of advanced technologies, and ultimately led to the creation of a cloning technique that evolved the inhabitants of the planet into a separate species, called the Auronar.

Auron was a planet aligned with the United Federation of Planets, but remained independent of the Terran Federation until Servalan released a deadly pathogen on the planet's surface. The planet was left uninhabited after this, quarantined against any colonization even during the reign of the Imperium of Man.
Battle of Madizak

The **Battle of Madizak** was a violent conflict that the Venek Horde engaged in while under the command of General Grines, sometime before their battle at the Jocacean Monastery. Though the Venek Horde was almost certain to win the battle, General Grines called for a truce to prevent further bloodshed. This was one of several events that earned Grines a reputation for compassion and mercy.

## Source

The Battle of Madizak is mentioned in an episode of *Farscape*.
'Owon

An **'Owon** is a non-sentient mammal that lays eggs. The eggs have a brown-purple shell, and -- if cracked open -- a pale yellow yolk. In some parts of the Milky Way, the eggs of the 'Owon are considered a delicious delicacy. Many, however, find the taste of the eggs abhorrent.

Adrian Walker

Doctor **Adrian Walker** was an accomplished human xenobiologist on Earth at the beginning of the 21st century. He was an expert interviewed for the television special called "Alien Visitation" after the crew of *Moya* arrived on Earth alongside John Crichton.

Walker had an extremely positive view of the encounter, determining that the alien personalities did not seem exceptionally different from those of humans -- and he was thoroughly amazed by some abilities the aliens seemed to demonstrate.

His enthusiasm helped fuel humanity's desire to venture into space for many years after his interview aired.

## Source

Adrian Walker appeared in a series of videos connected to the *Farscape* universe.
Borinium Ingots

**Borinium ingots** are a type of very valuable currency used in the Uncharted Territories. The ingots are about a handspan in length, and were six-sided shapes of a gold color. Karack metalites bear an almost identical appearance to the ingots when they lie dormant. Nevertheless, the rarity of borinium ingots keeps their value high even after integration into the rest of the Milky Way has brought the Uncharted Territories into using credits for standard currency. Ferengi are known to be particularly interested in borinium ingots.

## Source

Borinium ingots are mentioned in an episode of *Farscape*. They are never seen, as the shipment is revealed to actually contain Karack metalites.
Altana

**Altana** was an associate of Chiana's, several cycles before the Nebari joined the crew of *Moya*. She had met Chiana working on nogelti crystal mines in a dead budong -- which is where she spent the majority of her life.

By the time Altana and Chiana were reunited, when Chiana visited a budong mining colony with *Moya*, Altana had struck it rich by finding a large crystal vein. Unfortunately, she was killed by a Keedva before she could retrieve the crystals.

## Source

Altana appeared in an episode of *Farscape*.
Stephen Curry

**Stephen Curry** is the Blue Ranger and Blue Ninja Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Stephen was considered the brains of the Power Rangers team, creating many gadgets with which to solve problems that not even Zordon foresaw, and he even invented the first team's wrist-worn communication devices. Each of Stephen's teammates have a unique skill to offer the team and, in Stephen's case, it was his vast intelligence.

Curry is well-equipped to handle his task. He possesses a fine mind, and is an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. Stephen enjoys research, and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once he has enough pieces in place, Stephen is capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.Stephen enjoys his solitude and prefers to work alone. He needs time to contemplate his ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. Stephen is a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for him to form and keep, especially marriage. Curry needs his space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause him great frustration and irritation.

When his life is balanced, however, Stephen is both charming and attractive. He can be the life of a party, and enjoy performing before an audience. Stephen enjoys displaying his wit and knowledge, which makes him attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.

With his abilities to learn, analyze, and seek out answers to life's important questions, Stephen has the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time he reaches middle age, Stephen will radiate refinement and wisdom.

Stephen's affection for women is un-encourageable. He loves girls, dancing, parties and *really* loves basketball. He's a "show-off" who definitely impresses ladies. Stephen always makes them laugh and is constantly flirting with them.

Although Stephen is an expert in hand-to-hand confrontations/combat, he would **NEVER** hit or fight a woman. He is described by a lot of people as a 'serial womanizer' and quite the 'ladies man'. The only woman he *had* to fight *and* defeat was Madame Woe. Stephen used his martial arts skills and hand-to-hand combat to help himself fight off Madame Woe. He succeeds.

## Abilities

**Basketball:** Stephen is in the NBA as a professional basketball player. He is an extremely talented player who *everyone* loves.

**Martial Arts:** Stephen loves martial arts and will win every battle. He will fight anyone who gets in his way (except for women). Stephen will fight female monsters.

Argus Stone

The **Argus Stone** was an ancient artifact of the xel'naga, which the zerg believed had been used to create entire species. Its precise nature remains mysterious, but it was certainly prized by the xel'naga more than any other khaydarin crystal.

Eventually, the stone was discovered in the ruins of Taledon on the planet Aridas. Protoss, zerg, and Terran Dominion forces converged upon the location -- all in the hopes of recovering the crystal for their own purposes. The Protoss, under Judicator Kizrath, proved victorious initially. Kizarath attempted to utilize the stones energies, focusing them with a temple warped in from Aiur. The the midst of this, however, the Terran Dominion -- led by Jenson Archimedes -- managed to overcome the Protoss and take the stone.

The zerg attacked the science facility where the Terran Dominion was keeping the Argus Stone, and attacked. Bolstered by the powerful Defiler Thakras, the zerg were able to get the Argus Stone for themselves. Once it had been procured, the zerg took the stone to Char where they used its powers to create the Supreme Being.

Bengalaas

The **Bengalaas** is a species of felines native to the planet Aiur, homeworld of the Protoss. They are fearsome predators who hunt in packs, using tactics that can bring down animals much larger than they are. They are also known to play with their prey.

A handful of Bengalaas were part of the human-operated Bengalaas Exhibit. By the year 3104 CE, Bengalaas had been introduced to the ecosystem of Korhal IV.
Adrenalin and Soma

**Adrenalin and Soma** was a trade name for a chemical recipe to counter to fatigue and exhaustion, frequently employed by the crew of the *Liberator*. The chemical concoction could be injected, or imbibed as a beverage. As such, it was sometimes sold in bars across the Milky Way.

As the name implies, the chemicals involved were a stimulant and a tranquilizer. As such, the desired effects of the concoction depend upon the specific mixture of the chemicals within it -- which could be adjusted to produce desired results.

Altern System

The **Altern System** is a system that was within the borders of the Terran Federation, even as the Federation attempted to rebuild its power base. The system was a tremendous source of selsium fuel, but was difficult to enter due to several large asteroids in that area of space.

The ship *Scorpio* once used one of these asteroids in an attempt to sneak into the system undetected in order to obtain selsium fuel for themselves.

/Xam Abathwa

The **/Xam Abathwa** were an early tribe of humans from the continent of Africa on Earth.

At some point they had contact with extraterrestrials, forming the story of "the girl who made the stars," in which a young girl created the Milky Way out of wood ash. This story was passed down from generation to generation, eventually being told to a young Michael Burnham by her father. She recalled this story while preparing to meet her foster brother Spock.

Brood Units

**Brood units** are stores of genetic material intended to be used to grow new lifeforms. They are often used by species concerned about their survival, in order to ensure that they will not be totally eradicated. Brood units are also used by the Auronar in their cloning process.

The rocket that Meegat watched over contained brood units that would automatically develop into life upon arrival at their destination. The *Liberator* also encountered a rocket containing brood units on its way to Saurian Major -- these brood units could develop into a life form in 1.6 minutes.

Big Bang

The **Big Bang** was a cosmic event in which a microscopic singularity instantly and exponentially expanded -- creating the universe. The event is relatively unknown -- though there are many theories surrounding it including Schelzholt's Theory of Multiple Big Bangs. After the discovery of Omega Molecules, many scientists of the United Federation of Planets believed they must have been responsible for the event.

The time-traveling Q have often used the moment of the Big Bang as a hiding place. Quinn, while hiding aboard the U.S.S. *Voyager* took the vessel to a moment just after the Big Bang.

Axikor

**Axikor** was a Scarran from the Ruling Caste. He infiltrated a band of Coreeshi bounty hunters by grafting their armor onto himself. Using this guise, he spied on the Peacekeepers several times.

When Commandant Mele-on Grayza offered a bounty on John Crichton, Axikor used it as an excuse to discover why the human was so important to the Peacekeepers. Instead, Crichton killed him.

## Source

Axikor was seen in one episode of *Farscape*.
Bintog

**Bintog** was a Coreeshi bounty hunter who served as second-in-command in the unit led by Axikor. Bintog was unaware that Axikor was, in actuality, a Scarran in disguise. When John Crichton informed Bintog of the deception, the bounty hunter became enraged and confronted Axikor. Axikor was unmasked, but activated a self-destruct function in the suits of the Coreeshi serving under him. Bintog, like the rest of his team, was killed.

Bintog appears in an episode of *Farscape*.
Biotics

"**Biotics**" is a term used to both organic lifeforms that developed abilities due to exposure to Element Zero or "eezo", as well as those abilities themselves. Biotics have varying degrees of control over dark energy, channeled through their own bodies, and are therefore have a limited ability to create their own mass effect fields. Several of these abilities seem similar to psionic abilities, such as telekinesis, and it is true that beings with psionic potential can have their abilities increased with exposure to eezo.

Biotic abilities are increased and focused through biotic-amps. These are technological devices implanted into a biotic to help them control their abilities. Biotic abilities can be both destructive or defensive.

Biotics are derived from *Mass Effect*.

Administration

The **Administration** was head of the civil wing of the Terran Federation -- the administration ran and controlled the day-to-day life of those within the Federation. In theory, the Administration also had some control over Space Command, though some -- such as Trooper Par and Supreme Commander Servalan -- would frequently act without their clearance. Some actions, however, were too important to take without permission from the High Council. Nevertheless, ships like the *London* were required to have permission from the Administration before they could even take flight into space.

In general, the public had great faith in the Administration. This was, of course, largely due to the fact that much of the population was being drugged into complacency on a regular basis.

## Source

The Administration is derived from *Blakes 7*.
Botany Asteroid

The **Botany Asteroid** is a small asteroid located in an asteroid field in the Uncharted Territories, in the vicinity of Scorpius' former Gammak Base location.

The asteroid had been initially settled by a group of botanists who had seeded the asteroid in efforts to terraform it. Their scientific endeavors were successful, and they continued studying flora on the asteroid for three hundred cycles. At a certain point, however, they brought a species of sentient, calcivorous plants to the asteroid in order to eradicate herbivorous lifeforms that endangered their experiments. This proved to be too successful, as the species ultimately ran out of prey. All but one of them starved -- the last remaining member of the species, M'Lee, preyed upon the researchers until only one remained. Eventually, he was killed by John Crichton and M'Lee was able to eat his remains as well, allowing her to survive long enough to be rescued from the asteroid by Peacekeepers.

## Source

The Botany Asteroid appears in season 1 of *Farscape*.
Belkov

**Belkov** was a devious representative of the Terran Federation on the planet Mecron II and supervised the extraction of Feldon crystals from the planet. He enjoyed elaborate games and schemes, many of which were controlled by his specially constructed computer Gambit.

Before mining operations on the planet could begin, Belkov had to overcome the high priests of the native culture that he had been sent by their gods to claim the crystals for himself. To accomplish this, he wore a necklace made of Feldon crystals and anyone else who wore the necklace was shot by an automated laser rifle.

Later, when his schemes were falling apart on Mecron II, he asked Kerr Avon to rescue him from the Federation. At the same time, he orchestrated a deal with Servalan and trapped Dayna Mellanby, Del Tarrant, and Gerren beneath the launch area for spaceships. When both of these plans fell apart, he attempted to lure the *Scorpio* in the Cygnus XL black hole. This too failed, and Belkov seemed to disappear into the black hole in his own ship, *Alpha-3*.
B'hala

**B'hala** was an ancient city on the planet of Bajor. It was considered a holy city by the Bajoran religion, though its location was lost to history around 16,600 BCE. Like other ancient Bajoran cities, it was constructed around a Bantaca spire that denotes the city's position in the stars.

For many centuries after the loss of the city, the only evidence of its existence was an icon painting that depicted the spire -- though only two sides of it. This was one of many artifacts stolen by the Cardassians during the Bajoran Occupation. The artifact was ultimately returned in 3373 CE, due to pressure from the Bajoran government.

According to Zocal's Third Prophecy, the city would only be rediscovered by someone who had been "touched by the Prophets" -- this would ultimately prove to be Benjamin Sisko. When the icon painting was being returned to Bajor, it passed through Deep Space 9 and he was able to create a holographic duplicate. By studying the painting, and examining the spire's reflection in the waterfall, he was able to determine the symbols on the Bantaca spire.

While in the holosuite, he was struck by plasma burst and experienced a vision of the city. Sisko used his research and the vision to discover the city. This confirmed his status as the Emissary of the Prophets to even the most skeptical Bajorans.

As the city was excavated, the ruins of an even more ancient city were discovered beneath it. In those ruins, the Reckoning Tablet was discovered in 3374 CE.

B'hala is derived from *Star Trek: Deep Space 9*.
Carnell

**Carnell** was a psychostrategist who described himself as "brilliant". He carried the best available computer chess game with him at all times. He still enjoyed the game despite having beaten it six times. Servalan hired Carnell in order to help her obtain the weapon IMIPAK. In the course of this ordeal, he gave a young officer his chess game as a reward for saving his life.

When it became clear that they would not obtain IMIPAK, Carnell readily admitted to the failure -- though he proclaimed it was due to his not being given all of the information he needed -- and promptly went into hiding. In his farewell message, he described Servalan as "the sexiest officer I have ever known."
Boolites

**Boolites** are an extraordinary species even by the standards of the Delta Quadrant. Boolites are able to survive in separated pieces for up to half a cycle, due partially to the high concentration of metal found in their bodies, which allows boolites to survive most injuries including being blown apart. They possess incredible regenerative abilities, which allow them to heal if the pieces of their body are aligned correctly. Lastly, boolites have a remarkable and nearly eidetic memory, able to retain detailed information about virtually anything that has happened to them.

Aia

**Aia** is the planet at the center of the Conclave of Eight, completely uninhabited. It is, however, the location of the Admonition -- a warning against the advancement of synthetic life left by a forgotten and unknown ancient civilization.

The planet was discovered by ancient Romulans, who heeded the warning of the Admonition and created the Zhat Vash as a response.
Cephlon

**Cephlon** was a planet that was an economic and cultural center within the star cluster that it inhabited. It was an important place in the United Federation of Planets. During the dying days of the Federation, a war ravaged the planet -- leaving the entire surface thoroughly irradiated. Though there were some survivors, over the next few hundred years the population dwindled into barely noticeable numbers.

One group of inhabitants, less than a hundred in number by the time of the *Liberator*'s arrival, waited for someone to come to the planet to fulfill the prophecies of Kashel the Wise. Kerr Avon, Jenna Stannis, Vila Restal, and Oleg Gan all arrived on the planet's surface in the hopes of finding any survivors from Ensor Jr.'s ship. While there, they encountered Meegat who believed that Avon was the one who would fulfill the prophecy. She helped Avon and his friends rescue Jenna from the scavengers that prowled the planet's surface. She remained on the planet after the rocket containing genetic material was launched into space.

Ultimately the population of the planet dwindled out entirely, long before the Imperium of Man rose to power.
African League of Nations

The **African League of Nations** (**ALN**) was charted in early 2294 CE, intended to establish peace between the various nations and corporate interests that were frequently involved in violent conflicts on the continent of Africa at the time. However, after the Free Navy attack on Earth, the continent entered into a drought that lasted for three years and ignited the most intense internal fighting within the continent and the ALN itself. Small states rebelled against the ALN and the United Nations until the drought ended in 2297 CE.

In 2325 CE, the ALN joined the American Alliance and Europa Economic Interest in establishing a colony on Mars that was independent of the Martian Congressional Republic. Ultimately, the ALN merged into the World Economic Consortium.

Canterbury

The ***Canterbury*** (also called the ***Cant***) was an ice hauler in service of Pur'N'Kleen Water Company in the 23rd century. The ship had four Epstein drives, and a number of reaction control systems that allowed it turn quickly. It was capable of sustained 30g manuevers. The ship was 1,000 meters long and a 250 meter draft, although most of the ship was taken up by its massive cargo hold. It was an unarmed vessel.

Although it carried a handful of small auxiliary crafts, it only carried one actual shuttle which was called the *Knight*.

The vessel captured ice by matching trajectory with chunks of ice, allowing them to simply enter the open hold. Machine arms would cut up large chunks of ice, and small pieces would simply be stored in racks on the outer edge of the cargo hold. Human crewmembers in vacuum suits were necessary to assist in storing and securing the chunks of ice, which could be a dangerous job.

## History

The *Canterbury* began its life as a colony ship, before being purchased by the Pur'N'Kleen Water Company and repurposed into an ice hauler. It began routinely capturing ice from the rings of Saturn and bringing them to Ceres. In 2292 CE, Ceres was suffering from a considerable water shortage, so these missions became vital to the survival of the station despite the fact that the ship was in serious need of repair and crewmembers were routinely injured.

During its final mission, the XO of the *Canterbury* lost his mind to the point that he was incapacitated. As a result, James Holden became the defacto executive officer. Shortly afterwards, the *Canterbury* picked up a distress signal. Determined to reach Ceres on time, the crew opted to ignore the signal and not enter it into their logs -- until Holden's guilty conscience got the better of him. He logged the signal. As a result, the *Canterbury* was required to respond to the signal.

They discovered the *Scopuli* broadcasting the signal. Holden led a team consisting of Shed Garvey, Alex Kamal, Naomi Nagata, and Amos Burton to investigate. However, as they made their way back to the *Canterbury* they watched as the stealth ship the *Anubis* came out of hiding and destroyed the *Canterbury* and all aboard.

### Legacy

The destruction of the *Canterbury* led to increased water shortage on Ceres, leading to widespread unrest. A rallying cry for Belters became "Remember the Cant!"

## Crew

The crew of the *Canterbury* included:

* Captain McDowell
* Second Officer James Holden

A-line Converters

**A-line Converters** were devices which encoded communications into a virtually uncrackable code of A-line pulses. TP Crystals were essential to the functions of these devices -- both in encoding and decoding transmissions -- and were found in the highest voltage part of the technology. These devices also required constant maintenance -- the coverter on Fosforon was manned by three technicians at all times.

Bajor

**Bajor** (or, more accurately **Bajor XI**) was the name of the eleventh planet of the Bajor system. The planet had five moons, including Derna and Jeraddo. The planet was the homeworld of the Bajorans, a sapient species that had spent thousands of years developing and was one of the oldest species in the Alpha Quadrant.

## History

The Bajoran people began to flourish on Bajor around the year 501,000 BCE. They took their first interstellar flight centuries later, around the 26th century with a solar-sail spacecraft that ultimately crashlanded on Cardassia Prime.

In 3319 CE the planet was taken over by the Cardassian Union. The Cardassians not only killed a large amount of the population of the planet, but even poisoned parts of the planet to compromise the food supplies after the Cardassians withdrew. The occupation ended in 3369 CE. The Bajoran Provisional Government took steps to help neutralize the poisons, but only had limited resources to do so.

The United Federation of Planets stepped in to help restore the planet, which led to Bajor becoming allied with the Federation.

## Locations

### Orbital

* Derna
* Jeraddo
* Three unnamed moons
Beta 5

**Beta 5** is a planet in the Ark Rough Bennett Complex. The planet has a breathable atmosphere, and some surface vegetation, but has remained uninhabited for most of its history.

Beta 5 was the rendezvous point between Keiller and Servalan. *Scorpio* also landed here at the time of this rendezvous, the crew hoping to intercept the gold stolen from the *Space Princess*. They were confronted by four of Servalan's guards, and she was ultimately able to leave the planet with the gold her in possession.
Balon

**Balon** was a rebel working for Sula against the Terran Federation on Earth. To help initiate the assault on Servalan's Residence-1, he posed as a squad leader and informed Grenlee and Forres that the malfunction in the surveillance system had been caused by a squirrel building a nest. For all his efforts, however, Balon was killed during the attack he had helped prepare.
Bari

The ***Bari*** was a spaceship that made regular trips to Freedom City. One such flight carried Travis, Docholli and Zee aboard it -- on this particular flight, a secondary burner blew out. Zee lost a leg in the disaster, while Docholli was rescued by Travis. After saving Docholli, however, Travis was overcome by fumes.

Despite this incident, the *Bari* did arrive at Freedom City. It was presumably repaired and returned to service.
Califeron

**Califeron** is a planet in the Milky Way.

Califeron was the destination of the *Liberator* when Kerr Avon changed their course to Terminal. Upon arrival at Terminal, Avon instructed the crew to resume course for Califeron if they lost contact with him, and he set the ship to automatically travel to Califeron twelve arns after he teleported off of the ship.
American Alliance

The **American Alliance** was an economic coalition formed of the corporate interests from both North America, represented by the North American Alliance, and Central and South America, represented by La Unidad. When La Unidad was absorbed into the North American Alliance in 2305 CE, the American Alliance was born. They were one of the leading economic superpowers of the world.

In 2325 CE, the American Alliance -- along with the Europa Economic Interest and the African League of Nations -- invested in building a colony on Mars that was independent from the Martian Congressional Republic in an effort to extend the corporate influence and power on the red planet.

Chenga

**Chenga** is a planet that was not part of the Terran Federation, but was located near the region invaded by the Andromedans during the Intergalactic War. It was also fairly close to the planet Sarran, but not within the same star system.

Chenga was colonized roughly 200 cycles before the Intergalactic War. The colonists formed two groups -- the Primitives, who tried to live a simple life in the forests of the planet, and the Hitechs who built technologically advanced cities. The Hitechs ultimately came to require a vast supply of organs for transplants, and so began to hunt the Primitives.

After the Intergalactic War, Vila Restal, Cally and Servalan all arrived on the planet and were nearly forced to be organ donors themselves. They each managed to escape that fate, however.
Arle

**Arle** was a member of Kasabi's rebel forces on Earth, who was partnered with Berg for his final mission against the Terran Federation. During the course of that mission, the two went too deep into the Forbidden Zone surrounding the main computer core -- despite orders to stop -- and activated the defense mechanisms. Both rebels were annihilated as a result.
Cape Canaveral

**Cape Canaveral** is a location in Florida, United States on the planet Earth. It is the site of the Kennedy Space Center and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station -- both of which were used to launch several missions on behalf of both NASA and IASA into space during Earth's early exploration beyond the planet.

The Farscape Project was operated out of facilities on Cape Canaveral.

Arien

**Arien** was an android who was given emotions and personality, in order to help him better blend in with humans. He was owned by Commander Nieman of Ferrous Corp.

When the Council of Corporations met on EOS-7 in 2947, Arien was equipped with a bomb and brought to the space station. While there, he befriended -- and flirted with -- Five, who was posing as Delaney Truffault's assistant from the Mikkei Combine's delegation. Five, meanwhile, was trying to find the bomb.

When Five ran into trouble with a couple of royal guards from the Principality of Zairon, Arien came to her rescue. During the fight, he was cut which exposed him as an android. Five promised to keep his secret.

Before long, however, Five realized that Arien was actually the bomb that she had been looking for. She pleaded with him to disarm the bomb, but he was unable to do so. Instead, Arien spaced himself out of an airlock. The bomb exploded in the vacuum of space -- Arien was the only victim of that explosion, though the shockwave was enough to put the entire EOS-7 space station on lockdown.
Baniks

**Baniks** are a sentient, humanoid slave race found in the Uncharted Territories. Baniks are psionically gifted and mentally resilient, even able to withhold memories from Aurora Chairs. The psionic abilities of Baniks also permit them to share their memories with other individuals. Some Baniks, known as stykera, are even gifted to a point that they no longer require a physical body but only use it to interact with the Materium. They are capable of existing as pure energy. Stykera are also able to help ease death, aiding the dying in crossing over to the afterlife.

It is likely fear over their psionic gifts that first led to the enslavement of the Baniks. Eventually, due largely to the Eidelons respect for the abilities of stykera, all of the Baniks were freed from slavery. They became leaders of the Uncharted Territories, and were among the first species to welcome the United Federation of Planets.

Unfortunately, the abilities of the stykera led once more to anti-Banik sentiment after the collapse of the Federation. The Imperium of Man set out to once again enslave the Banik race -- or destroy them in the attempt. The few free Banik who remained alive helped to begin a Resistance in the Uncharted Territories.

Baniks are featured in many episodes of *Farscape*.
Breakaway Colonies

The **Breakaway Colonies** are a small Sebacean empire located in the Uncharted Territories of the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way. They broke off from the Peacekeepers circa the year 100 CE (by the calendar of Earth) and established a monarchy, resisting all attempts made by the Peacekeepers to reconcile. Their location in the Uncharted Territories made them vulnerable to both the Peacekeepers and the Scarran Empire, as such the monarchy was constantly trying to appease both factions while remaining independent.

The seat of the monarchy's power is based on the Royal Planet, where the Empress and her Regent rule from. Succession is determined by the ability to create healthy offspring, as determined by the genetics of the royal couple. When this is established, the royal couple are wed and then frozen as conscious statues for 80 cycles where they will watch, and learn from, the political machinations of their empire.

## Inhabitants

* Jakenchs
* Sebaceans

The Breakaway Colonies are seen in *Farscape*'s second season.
Cato

**Cato** was an advisor to Gunn-Sar, who had access to the long-forgotten computer and surveillance system buried deep within the Hommik Stronghold on Xenon. Utilizing this, he had managed to learn much of the history of Xenon that had been forgotten by the other Hommiks.

He was killed by Pella, who telekinetically fired a bolt from a crossbow wielded by Kerr Avon.
Betafarl

**Betafarl** is a planet on the frontier edges of the galaxy, although not very far from the planet Xenon -- taking *Scorpio* only thirty arns to travel between the two. Betafarl is said to have perpetual day, and has very little vegetation. It was ruled by Zukan during the days of the Terran Federation, and was the capital planet of his territory.

In their efforts to establish a viable resistance against the Federation's rebuilding efforts following the Intergalactic War, Kerr Avon and Del Tarrant visited the planet. Zukan claimed a plant growing there could provide an antitoxin to pylene-50, making Betafarl essential to the resistance efforts. It was also during this visit that Tarrant first met and fell in love with Zeeona.

When Avon returned to Betafarl with Soolin, it became clear that Zukan's claims of an antitoxin were false and that he had in fact been working with the Terran Federation. As his schemes unraveled, Zukan himself was betrayed by Servalan and killed. With no leader, Betafarl descended into anarchy -- which, ultimately, allowed Zukan's rivals to take over the planet.
Aldea

**Aldea** was, for many centuries, considered a myth by the spacefaring species of the Milky Way. In truth, it was a planet of the Epsilon Mynos system, and the homeworld of the Aldeans. During the 24th century, the forebears of the Aldeans built an elaborate system of planetary defenses to hide and protect their planet. The entire system was managed by a supercomputer known as the Custodian.

Under the guidance of the Custodian, a planetwide cloaking device hid the planet from sight for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Repulsor beams were used to repel starships from the vicinity of the planet. In the 24th century, the Aldeans also constructed a planetwide forcefield to further protect themselves.

The cloaking device, however, exposed the planet to continuous radiation. After many centuries passed, it rendered the Aldeans infertile. In the 34th century, the Aldeans kidnapped children in order to help continue their species. After kidnapping the children of the USS *Enterprise*-D, the Aldeans agreed to accept the help of the United Federation of Planets in reversing their own radiation damage and relearning how to use the advanced technology of their ancestors -- though they would be forced to stop hiding their planet.

Aldea is derived from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. For canon information, please visit Memory Alpha.
Bitaal

Pa'u **Bitaal** was the spiritual counselor of the Delvians, and the personal teacher and lover of Zotoh Zhaan. When his tenure as leader of Delvia was over, however, he refused to resign from his position and instead hired the Peacekeepers for "external security" -- which included keeping him in power. Liberals and free thinkers were rounded up, including Zhaan's father, and placed in prison camps.

Fearing for her own life, and realizing she could free Delvia from tyranny, Zhaan shared Unity with Bitaal and killed him during the act.

## Source

Bitaal is seen in a flashback during an episode of *Farscape*.
Andromedans

**Andromedans** are one of several species native to the Andromeda Galaxy. This species in particular is capable of altering its shape, though with considerable effort -- similar to the Kelvans to whom the Andromedans may have been related. Several of them were able to infiltrate the Star One facility by posing as humans. In their true form, they have no discernible appendages and a faint green glow. This form has only been seen upon their deaths, as contact with the Andromedans has been extremely limited.

The Andromedans, through their ruse, were able to destroy the galactic boundary maintained by the Terran Federation and invade the Milky Way. The ensuing Intergalactic War was only narrowly won by the Federation. It presumed that the motivation for this invasion was the same as that of the Kelvan Empire some centuries earlier -- as radiation levels in the Andromeda Galaxy rose to intolerable levels, the inhabitants sought other galaxies to make their home in.

## Source

The Andromedans are derived from *Blake's 7*.
Cancer (Assassin)

**Cancer** was an infamous assassin who earned a reputation for never failing to kill her target. Eventually, she was hired by Servalan to eradicate the crew of *Scorpio*. Together, they concocted an elaborate ruse so that Cancer would be brought to their headquarters on Xenon and she could eliminate her targets one-by-one from there.

As part of the scheme, the targets were allowed to intercept a communication wherein it became clear that Servalan had hired Cancer's services. To stop the threat, the crew journeyed to Domo to try to kill Servalan. Instead, they ultimately boarded Cancer's ship. Believing the assassin to be a man, they imprisoned an imposter who was -- in truth -- a slave that Servalan had purchased. Meanwhile, the true assassin took on the guise of **Piri** in order to gain their trust.

Eventually the impersonator became a nuisance, and Cancer killed him. She also took out Nebrox, who came close to exposing her true identity. Both Soolin and Kerr Avon became suspicious of her as well, so she planned to kill them. To kill Soolin, she set a poisonous crab creature loose. Expecting that to take care of things, she turned her attention to Avon. This proved to be a fatal mistake, as Soolin survived her encounter with the crab and hurled the creature onto the assassin. Cancer was killed by her own toxic pet.
