Ganymede

**Ganymede** was the seventh, albeit largest, moon of the planet Jupiter, as well as the largest moon in the Sol system and the only one with its own naturally occurring magnetic field. It was one of the "Galilean moons" -- Jovian moons discovered by astronomer Galileo Galilei.

Because of its unique magnetosphere, Ganymede was the only place anywhere near Jupiter that could reasonably grow crops of food during the colonization of the outer planets by humans. Large orbital mirrors were placed around Ganymede to assist in food production, successfully turning it into a vital food source for the entire asteroid belt and the outer planet colonies. Prior to the invention of artificial gravity, Ganymede also claimed to have the lowest rate of birth defects and stillbirths anywhere in the outer planetary region of the system.

Although Ganymede was generally considered one of the safest places in the outer region of the system, during the Eros Incident a revolt occurred which led to sixteen deaths. Shortly after this, the Ganymede Incident occurred -- causing serious damage to the Ganymede colony.

Ganymede was able to be rebuilt, and ultimately resumed its role as a vital source of food for the colony. Eventually they also began distilling their own unique liquors.

Ganymede was the birthplace of Jet Black, who also served in the ISSP police force stationed on the moon.

By the time that the Empire of Mankind rose to prominence in the galaxy, Ganymede had also become a productive shipbuilding colony, as well as featuring several habitats for the Adeptus Mechanicus. Squats used the moon as a testing site for new warp-coil technology -- only for the experiments to go disastrously wrong. The moon itself was transformed into a Warp-tainted wasteland. Nevertheless, Primarch Roboute Guilliman ordered the moon be turned into a fortress for Officio Logisticarum -- providing supplies and support to the fleets and battle groups of the Indomitus Crusade, while also keeping a record of their actions. This fortress became known as **Aquila Adamant**.

Gaashah

**Gaashah** was a clan leader on his planet, and was particularly suspicious of off-worlders even for his species. This suspicion increased after he was forced to banish Chiana from the planet for recreating with one of his clan's youth.

Gaashah was unaware that, in fact, there truly was a plot against him. This plot resulted in his death, at the hands of Aeryn Sun who was under the influence of sgabba flies.
Hybin

**Hybin** was a Sykaran with a natural immunity to the effects of tannot root. Before the planet fell under Peacekeeper subjugation, Hybin had earned a reputation as the finest maldique player on Sykar.

When the Peacekeepers took over the planet and subjugated the population, Hybin and his daughter Tanga helped to form the Sykaran Resistance, using the Sykaran worm to slowly and secretly increase their membership. When *Moya* arrived to the planet, the Resistance saw an opportunity to reclaim their freedom. With the help of John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, and Rygel XVI they exposed the truth -- that the Sykarans were producing fuel for Peacekeeper weapons.

Hybin convinced the leader of the Sykarans, Volmae, that fighting the Peacekeepers was possible "one day at a time" and the planet Sykar seemed to have a brighter, more hopeful future.
Commerce Stations

**Commerce stations** were space stations specifically built for the purpose of trade and commerce.

Three commerce stations had been constructed in the Sacred Stillness, between the Twin Suns of Qell. Two of these were completely destroyed by the Kampeks, and the third was heavily damaged.

## Source

A commerce station is seen in *Farscape*.
Cycle

**Cycles** are a unit of time measurement used in remote regions of the Delta Quadrant, such as the Uncharted Territories. A cycle is approximately equivalent to one Earth-year, though they are broken into segments such as "half-cycles" and "quarter-cycles" rather than months. The years of the Citadel Council measured their Galactic Standard calendar in cycles. Over time, the term year and the term cycle became interchangeable -- although some believed the term "year" was very Earth-centric and not very politically correct. As a result of these sentiments, the term cycle eventually became much more widely used.

Much like the term "lightyear," the term "**lightcycle**" was used to describe the distance that light could travel over the course of a cycle.
Hospital Ships

**Hospital ships**, also called **medical ships** or **med ships**, are essentially medical facilities which travel throughout open space, treating ill and injured spacefarers. Most hospital ships are politically neutral in whatever regions of space they traverse, allowing them to treat patients regardless of affiliation.

Hospital ships were relatively rare in the Uncharted Territories during the 21st century. One such ship was destroyed by a paranoid *Talyn* shortly after rendevousing with *Moya*. This killed hundreds of innocent people including Naj Gil.

D'Argo Sun-Crichton

"Deke" as an infant

**D'Argo Sun-Crichton** was the child of the Sebacean Aeryn Sun and the human John Crichton.

## History

His exact parentage is unknown, as he may have been conceived by the duplicate of Crichton who was a crew member aboard *Talyn*. His gestation in Aeryn's womb was halted by a stasis process that is automatic within Peacekeeper women born into a battle regiment, but the embryo was released from stasis during Aeryn's captivity at the hands of the Scarrans. The Scarrans had intended to derive Crichton's wormhole knowledge from the fetus' DNA, though they were never given the opportunity.

Several weeks later, Aeryn and Crichton were crystalized by Eidelons. Eventually, Rygel XVI was able to retrieve the crystalized pieces and regurgitate them so that the two could be reconstituted. Unfortunately, Rygel failed to regurgitate the fetus, which was now gestating inside the Hynerian. After Rygel was tortured by Scarrans, Aeryn had the fetus transferred back into her own body for the remainder of the pregnancy.

The child was born during the climactic final battle of the Peacekeeper/Scarran War -- the Battle of Qujaga and was named after the Luxan Ka D'Argo, who was killed in the conflict. Crichton quickly bestowed the nickname "**Deke**" upon the child, as he was uncomfortable using the name D'Argo so soon after his friend's death. It was also an homage to the astronaut from Earth, Deke Slayton, and was partially inspired by the initials "D.C."

## Source

D'Argo Sun-Crichton was seen in *Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars* and several *Farscape* comic books.
Heat Projection

**Heat projection** is a natural ability inherent in all Scarrans, an ability generated from the heat producing gland in their chest. The heat produced by this gland can be emitted through their hands and mouths.

This form of attack is especially effective against Sebaceans who can easily and quickly succumb to heat delirium as a result, but are also useful against other species. The victims of these attacks can be easily identified by severely burnt, blistered skin. Low intensity blasts of heat are often employed as a means of torture to weaken victims during interrogations.

In frigid environments, the heat producing gland must work so hard to maintain the body temperature of a Scarran that they are not capable of heat projection. The ability can also be lost if the gland is surgically removed.

## Source

Heat projection is derived from *Farscape*.
Crew of the Bebop

The **crew of the *Bebop*** was the rag-tag team of bounty hunters who lived and worked together aboard the spaceship called the *Bebop* which traveled throughout the Sol system. It included, at various times,

* Jet Black - the owner of the ship
* Spike Spiegel
* Faye Valentine
* Ein
* Radical Ed

Das

**Das** was a member of the Clansmen, who mated with Vyna and conceived a child with her. Like all Clansmen, Das lived a carefree life -- though John Crichton believed he had learned the truth about the illness that afflicted the Clansmen. Nevertheless, Das chose not to use the sonic net when he took the stone.
Harbinger

The **Harbinger** was the first Reaper created by the Intelligence. The Harbinger oversaw the Collectors, and sometimes even possessed individual Collectors to suit its needs.

The Harbinger, like all Reapers, primarily lived far outside the Milky Way in dark space.

## History

The Harbinger was the first Reaper, created by the Intelligence out of genetic material taken from Leviathans.

In 2985 CE, the Harbinger had possessed the Collector General and, through him, had the Collectors abduct entire colonies of humans with the aim of creating human-Reaper hybrids.

When Shepard began combating the Collectors, the Harbinger would occasionally take direct control of individual Collectors to speak to their opponent. When released from possession, the Collectors always disintegrated. The Harbinger bore a special interest in Shepard, and sought to claim his body -- a consequence of Shepard's defeat of Sovereign.

Ultimately, Shepard managed to activate the Project in order to delay the arrival of the Reapers. The Harbinger appeared before Shepard in a holographic projection at this point, directly warning him that the Reapers were still coming and fighting against them was ultimately futile.

In 2986 CE, the Harbinger led the assault on Earth, and was only stopped when the Crucible was activated and the Reapers fell under the control of Commander Shepard.

The Harbinger is derived from *Mass Effect*.
Goddess of the Delvian Seek

The **Goddess of the Delvian Seek** is the kind, merciful deity worshipped by the Delvian Pa'us. Her worshippers seek to emulate the tranquility of the Goddess. As such, followers of the Delvian Seek will practice meditation to calm their minds.

The Goddess is often invoked by Pa'us in order to access psionic powers. Most of these powers can only be used when the Delvian is in a state of calm, and the calmer a Pa'u is the more access he or she may have to these powers.

## Source

The Goddess of the Delvian Seek is derived from *Farscape*.
Galactic Standard

The **Galactic Standard** was a system of time measurement created by the Citadel Council. It differed greatly from the Terran Coordinated Universal Time system that was employed humans at the time of their first contact with the Council.

The Galactic Standard year was the average length between the turian, asari, and salarian years -- 343.97 Galactic Standard days (or 398.114 Earth days). The calendar began in what humans would consider the year 300 CE -- this was considered year 0 GS.

Each Galactic Standard day is comprised of 20 Galactic Standard hours -- which equates to 27 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds by human timekeeping standards. This is because each Galactic Standard hour is made up of 100 Galactic Standard minutes. Minutes, in turn, are divided into 100 Galactic Standard seconds -- which are half as long as seconds on Earth.

The Galactic Standard was abandoned after the collapse of the Citadel Council.

Fyang Powder

**Fyang powder** is a potent substance that could, when inhale, make any living creature fall instantly asleep. It was a favored defensive tactic of Utu Noranti Pralatong, though some believed that over exposure to this powder was the cause of her narcolepsy.

Though potent, the dosages must be carefully measured out in order to achieve the desired results. Putting a Scarran to sleep requires more fyang powder than putting a human to sleep, as Scarrans are larger and tougher creatures.
Hubero

**Hubero** was one of the rare Nebari androgen. Her life was a series of abandonments due to her unique sex characteristics -- first, her family abandoned her. Soon afterwards, she was banished by Nebari Prime. Eventually, Hubero came into contact with the Peacekeepers -- who also rejected her. The Peacekeepers attempted to return Hubero to the Nebari Establishment, but when they refused to take the androgen back the Peacekeepers forcibly enlisted her into an experimental weapons program -- a test victim against a weapon which would destroy the bonds of metallic minerals.

Alongside the Scarran Naj Gil, the Hynerian Orrhn, and a boolite, Hubero took control of a transport pod and escaped the Peacekeepers into the Uncharted Territories. Due to the interference of a traitor, their transport pod was hit by the experimental weapon. The pod would have disintegrated and all the passengers aboard would have perished, if *Moya* had not been passing by.

*Moya* gave shelter to the crew of fugitives. There, Hubero befriended Chiana -- who was amazed to meet an open androgen, and worked hard to put aside the prejudices she had learned to hold against them. Chiana even protected Hubero when she was suspected of being the traitor amongst the fugitives. When it was discovered the Orrhn was the traitor, Hubero attempted to prevent her from escaping *Moya* -- but the Hynerian secretly had a pulse pistol and killed Hubero with it.
Hynerian Airway Seizure

**Hynerian airway seizure**, also called a "**case of the intons**", can occur when a Hynerian experiences intense emotions. The Hynerian's airways will close up, making breathing all but impossible. Fortunately, the condition is temporary and seldom fatal.

## Source

Hynerian airway seizure is derived from *Farscape*.
Genophage

The **genophage** was a genetically engineered biological weapon designed to limit the population of the krogan. It was created by the salarians during the Krogan Rebellion, in the hopes that the threat of its use could deter the krogan from annexing planets already occupied by other species. However, the turians -- intent on ensuring the krogan could never pose a threat again -- unleashed the plague on the krogan population in 1510 CE.

The genophage does not actually limit the fertility of the krogan, but introduced a genetic mutation which drastically reduced the chance of a pregnancy being viable. Most krogan pregnancies ended with a miscarriage, others reaching term but resulting in a stillbirth that -- more often that not -- also resulted in the mother's death. Only one in every thousand pregnancies proved viable.

Every cell in each krogan was infected -- making gene therapy an impossible method of treatment. Furthermore, with the violent nature of most krogan and their indifference about focused breeding brought the species near to extinction. Females who were capable of carrying pregnancies to term became highly prized -- it was this that allowed Shiagur to gather the strongest krogans together in a final effort to win the Krogan Rebellion against the Citadel Council.

Her efforts failed, and the genophage continued to impact the krogan for centuries. Their culture developed a sort of fatalism, a feeling that they had no future. With no known cure, some krogan attempted to reshape their society to focus on breeding. Others invested in scientists who might develop a cure.

Eventually Saren Arterius managed to develop a cure through the use of cloning technology -- likely with the help of Sovereign and Binary Helix. He used the cure to build a krogan army hidden away on Virmire. The exact cure, however, was destroyed in Commander Shepard and Captain Kirrahe's action against the facility.

The salarians realized that the krogan were evolving a resistance to the genophage, and quickly developed a new version and re-infected the species. This version did allow for a higher growth of population -- their goal was not to eradicate the krogan but to limit their potential growth. One of the salarians, Maelon, later began to work on a cure. His work put him in Shepard's crosshairs and ultimately cost him his life -- however, Shepard kept his research.

By the time of the Reaper Invasion of 2986, only one female krogan involved in Maelon's experiments had survived --Eve. Due to mounting political pressure, she was released to the Urdnot Clan. Furthermore, Maelon's data proved to be enough to create an actual cure for the genophage. Mordin Solus sacrificed his life in order to finally cure the krogan and secure their help in battle against the Reapers.

Crew of the Enterprise NX-01

The **crew of the *Enterprise* NX-01** was approximately 83 members, 81 of whom were humans from Earth. Approximately one-third of the crew was female. Initially, the crew was comprised of Starfleet officers with the exceptions of Sub-commander T'Pol and Doctor Phlox. In 3153 CE, a contingent of MACO officers was also brought aboard in response to the Xindi Crisis.

Aside from the crew members, there were several animals aboard, as Doctor Phlox had brought a menagerie of alien fauna and Captain Jonathan Archer had brought his pet beagle Porthos aboard.

Black Gold

**Black gold** is exported from the planet Zerok. The gold mined on Zerok is put through a process involving high amounts of radiation that changes the color of the gold to black, and makes it utterly without value. The atomic structure of the gold after it has undergone this process is shifted, making it too fragile to be moved. The process was computer coded, with the code changing daily.

Servalan had Keiller steal a shipment of black gold with the help of the crew of *Scorpio*, knowing that Zerok would be ceding to the Terran Federation.
Guinan's Father

**Guinan's father** was born before Earth's 17th century, but was still alive and well by 3369 CE. He had a tumultuous relationship with his daughter Guinan -- who did from him on Earth during the 19th century and initially believed that he had sent Data to retrieve her.

Commerce Settlements

**Commerce settlements** were places across the Milky Way where people had gathered to barter, trade, and vend goods and services. Unlike commerce planets, commerce settlements were not built on planets -- or, if they were they occupied only a small portion of the planet. Many were built on asteroids and at least one was built on the carcass of a Leviathan biomechanoid in Tormented Space (although this dead Leviathan was partially embedded in an asteroid).

A variety of goods and services could be purchased at commerce settlements, including sensor distorters, massages, and genetic modification. They were renown places to conduct illicit or illegal business.

## Source

A commerce settlement is seen in *Farscape*.
Energy Riders

**Energy riders** are a species of being that exists in a state of pure energy, rather than in physical form. Unlike other beings of pure energy, such as the Organians, energy riders do not exist on a planet and -- in fact -- may never have had physical bodies. Instead, energy riders live in electromagnetic clusters in open space.

Energy riders feed off of the life force of living beings with physical bodies, who energy riders possess for brief periods. The first rule of such possessions is "do not hurt the body". The second rule is to only remain within the host for long enough to have a "taste" or "sip" of the body's energy. If an energy rider resists either of these rules, they are considered diseased and another energy rider is assigned to kill them.

Prolonged possession by an energy rider can have bizarre consequences. For example, after Chiana was possessed by a diseased energy rider for a prolonged period, she began to see glimpses of the future. This later developed into an ability to see current occurences around her in slow motion, allowing her to see even greater detail -- though at the expense of her natural eyesight.

Certain types of energy can be harmful to an energy rider. For instance, exposure to the energy used by Leviathan biomechanoids to create Starbursts can kill an energy rider.
Element Zero

**Element Zero** -- also called "**eezo**" -- is an exceedingly rare material, with a number of unusual properties. Element Zero is created when solid matter, such as a planet, is affected by the energies of a star going supernova. As such, it is often found in asteroid belts orbiting pulsars or neutron stars. Mining in these locations is extremely dangerous, and so requires the use of robotics.

When an electrical current passes through Element Zero, it emits dark energy that can be used to create a mass effect field -- increasing or decreasing the mass of all objects within that field. This effect is used by numerous species to a variety of effects -- from artificial gravity to faster-than-light travel.

When living, biological organisms are exposed to Element Zero, it often results in psionic abilities. As these abilities are not necessarily natural, or are augmented from their natural state, psionic capabilities created through exposure of Element Zero are called biotic.

Element Zero shares a number of traits with eridium. Some theorize that they are the same element, formed through different means. As the origins of eridium are unknown, there is little evidence to refute this theory.

## Source

Element Zero is derived from *Mass Effect*.
Delfarions

**Delfarions** were a species from the planet Delfarion. They are extremely mysterious, rarely contacting outside species. For much of history, they had only been contacted by the crew of *Moya* and *Talyn*.

Delfarions are a deeply spiritual species, with beliefs similar to those held by the Baniks. They also have innate psionic capabilities, such as the ability to kanish or astral project.

The leaders of the Delfarions are called mystics, and have greater psionic abilities than others of their species.
Frell

"**Frell**" is an expletive created by mistranslations by translator microbes. The world has direct correlation with several swear words in numerous languages, and appears to be a catch-all by the microbes unable to process culturally specific words. Because of its common usage, it eventually spread from the regions of the Delta Quadrant where it was most prevalent and became a word intentionally used across the Milky Way.

Some examples of how to use the word "frell" are as follows:

* "Bullfrell."
* "What the frell?"
* "Frell you."
* "Get the frell out of my way."
Hyper-Rage

Luxan h**yper-rage** is a condition that occurs naturally in virtually all male Luxans. No Luxan females have ever reported any symptoms of hyper-rage.

In hyper-rage, the Luxan is overcome with aggression. The violence is often directed at other males. It is not uncommon for Luxans under hyper-rage to completely black out and retain no memory of their actions. This fact was used to aid in framing Ka D'Argo for the murder of his wife.

Luxans are able to learn to manage their hyper-rage through many cycles of intense training. Some Luxans are even capable of completely overcoming their hyper-rage.

## Source

Luxan hyper-rage is derived from *Farscape*.
Hontovek

**Hontovek** was a Tavlek mercenary who worked under Bekesh, helping to kidnap Rygel XVI. Aeryn Sun infiltrated Hontovek's hunting party -- though Hontovek triggered a drug fueled rage and she put Hontovek in a chokehold. Hontovek was saved, however, when a nearby John Crichton accidentally set his pulse rifle to overload. The explosion startled Hontovek who, alongside the rest of his hunting party, fled under the belief they were being attacked.
Cruisers (Ilanic)

**Ilanic cruisers** are warships first developed by the Ilanics during the Ilanic/Scorvian War. Armed with a substantial set of defenses and bearing a tremendously durable and tough outer hull, these cruisers became a staple of the Ilanic fleet.

Ilanic cruisers are based on the designs of Luxan assault piercers.

Dam-Ba-Da

**Dam-Ba-Da** is an arid planet in the Uncharted Territories, not far from the borders of the Scarran Empire. The planet is home to Furlow's Dam-Ba-Da Depot.

The planet is harsh, and close enough to its sun that even one glance during one of the sun's many solar flares can cause temporary blindness. To shield themselves against this, residents of Dam-Ba-Da wear special goggles.

The planet was briefly a part of the brewing conflicts with the Scarran Empire, due to Furlow's interactions with John Crichton. After he had created an unstable wormhole, Crichton was forced to give Furlow some of his wormhole research to pay for repairs. After two cycles, she had advanced this research enough on her own that she was able to sell the technology to the highest bidder -- who happened to be the Scarrans. The sale was prevented, and Furlow was forced to return to business as usual.

## Source

Dam-Ba-Da was seen in *Farscape*'s first and third seasons.
Command Centers

**Command centers**, sometimes simply called "**command**", were specialized rooms on many starships where data analysis, mission operations, and certain other operations regarding ship systems were performed. In most vessels, the command center was an entirely separate room from the bridge -- although in Leviathan biomechanoids they were generally one and the same. As such, they were generally much larger than the command centers of other ships.

Command centers were generally small rooms, with enough room for the senior staff of a vessel to meet and little else. On Starfleet vessels, they were comparable in size to standard crew quarters. The first of these was installed on the *Enterprise* NX-01 when it returned to Earth after the Xindi attack, and was created by converting an unused storage bay.

Host Ships (Nebari)

**Nebari host ships** are the equivalent of Peacekeeper command carriers for the Nebari Establishment. They have been in use since at least 1899 CE. The full capabilities of these vessels are unknown, but they are able to overpower command carriers as well as Scarran dreadnoughts.

Contraceptive Shields

**Contraceptive shields** were devices created by the Peacekeepers to prevent Leviathan biomechanoids from bearing offspring.

One of these shields was installed on *Moya* during experiments conducted upon her under the supervision of Bialar Crais. This shield was later damaged by Ka D'Argo, while investigating what damage the Leviathan had undertaken. This allowed *Moya* to conceive *Talyn*.

## Source

A contraceptive shield is seen in *Farscape*.
Crepusculans

The **Crepusculans** were a primitive, non-humanoid species whose home planet was found within Federation space. The species had large heads with two eyes, and a number of tendrils. They also had six limbs, two of which ended in three tendrils, and forked tails. Young Crepusculans hatched out of eggs.

They began developing in the 23rd century, and by 3256 CE they had developed a written language and clothing. However, they were still dependent upon primitive wells for hydration. In 3256 CE, radiation from a meteor mining accident threatened to cause an eighty-nine year drought, which would have rendered the species extinct. Captain Phiippa Georgiou and Lieutenant Commander Michael Burnham of the USS *Shenzhou* visited the planet, restoring the water supply and saving the species without revealing themselves in order to maintain the Prime Directive.

Control Collars

**Control collars** were devices installed on Leviathan biomechanoids by Peacekeepers. These, often installed alongside paddac beacons, ensured that the Peacekeepers had complete control over the Leviathan and made it impossible for the pilot to operate without Peacekeeper authorization. Control collars also made it impossible for Leviathans to Starburst.

Halosian Code

The **Halosian Code** is a societal law that governed Halosians and influenced many of their behaviors. It included a portion detailing how members of Halosian society might advance or "evolve" to higher ranks. One method of accomplishing this was through defeating hostile enemies through conflict.

Hindrati Petal Tea

**Hindrati petal tea** is a drink known to Traskans, such as Noranti Pralatong. The taste of the beverage bears some similarity to that of coolant rods as both contain the ingredient solanterum fobex -- a mildly radioactive element, the flavor of which leaves the tongue with a lingering tingling sensation.

The drink is not particularly popular amongst most people.

## Source

Hindrati petal tea is mentioned in *Farscape*.
DRD "One-Eye"

**DRD "One-Eye"** was one of *Moya*'s Diagnostic Repair Droids, and was the first one that John Crichton encountered upon arriving on the living ship. While the DRD examined the *Farscape-1* module, Crichton blew open the cockpit, flinging the DRD flew across the room. The incident damaged one of the droid's eye-stalks, which caused it to be quite agitated. Later, Crichton repaired the eye stalk with electrical tape. The repair job was far from perfect, but succeeded in making the eye stalk functional again.

The DRD was henceforth known to Crichton as "One-Eye", and was frequently seen performing duties around *Moya*.

Heppel Oil

**Heppel oil** is a chemical that is produced by an artificially engineered gland that could be implanted in females of humanoid species. The gland is illegal in most corners of the Uncharted Territories, but is typically implanted in Dellos concubines. Heppel oil is only produced by this gland, which greatly reduces the life of those it is implanted in.

Heppel oil is secreted at will through the skin, like sweat. When inhaled, it induces uncontrollable lust and bends whomever inhales it completely to the will of the female who secreted the oil. The oil could only be resisted by ingesting or inhaling something to suppress sexual arousal -- such as lakah guts -- before inhalation.

Heppel oil was used by Mele-on Grayza in order to quickly ascend through the ranks of the Peacekeepers.

The **Fabrini** were a humanoid species virtually indistinguishable from humans that originated on the planet Fabrina. Around the year 7,268 BCE the star in that planetary system entered the beginning stages of a supernova. In order to survive, the Fabrini relocated underground. A handful of them -- known as the Creators -- built a spacecraft called the *Yonada* and selected the most worthy candidates from their species to crew the vessel. The *Yonada* was sent into space. Those aboard the vessel were the only ones to survive the destruction of their homeworld.

The fate of Fabrina and those aboard the planet was well known to galactic historians by 3268 CE -- however, the existence of the *Yonada* was unknown. The vessel was discovered when it was mistaken for an asteroid on a collision course with the populated planet Daran V. The USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) was sent to stop the asteroid, and discovered a population of Fabrini people aboard - -the last survivors of their species.

The Fabrini aboard the *Yonada* had lost much of their own history. They believed the computer controlling their ship was a god, which they called the Oracle of the People. Despite losing so much, they had developed sophisticated medicine -- including a cure for xenopolycythemia.

The crew of the *Enterprise* was able to alter the navigational error that had put Daran V in danger and deactive the Oracle of the People so that the Fabrini might make their own way in the galaxy.

Flax

The **Flax** is an invisible energy web used by Zenetan Pirates in order to ensnare spacefaring vessels. The Flax absorbs light, making it impossible to see with the naked eye and virtually impossible to detect with sensors. It is an estimated 75 million zacrons long.

Once a ship has been ensnared, it is very difficult to pull free of the Flax. Certain chemicals can weaken it but only the Zenetan Pirates are able to completely deactivate the Flax. The energy reserves required to use the Flax, fortunately, mean that only the most successful of pirates are able to employ it.

The secrets of the Flax are guarded jealously by the Zenetan Pirates, who take great care to prevent the technology from being discovered by or shared with outsiders.
Heska Fe'Tor

**Heska Fe'Tor** was a dangerous but wealthy man who sold freslin and trafficked women to support his lavish lifestyle on the pleasure planet LoMo.

When *Moya*'s crew was visiting the planet, he lured Chiana and Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis to his mansion. Initially, the two were charmed and refused to leave even when a wary Ka D'Argo attempted to rescue them. Raxil, however, convinced D'Argo and John Crichton that Fe'Tor was up to no good. Raxil was proven correct as Fe'Tor milked Chiana's senal gland to a point where she no longer had her own free will. He began to milk Jool for freslin almost immediately afterwards -- however, he was interrupted by the efforts of D'Argo and Crichton. He met his demise during their assault on his facility.
Diagnostic Repair Drones

**Diagnostic Repair Drones**, or **DRDs**, are small robots that populate Leviathan biomechanoids. More of these droids are built as a Leviathan grows. The drones are extensions of the Leviathan's consciousness, and therefore can be used to communicate with the vessel even if its Pilot is incapacitated. Otherwise, DRDs generally perform repairs and maintenance. DRDs are also capable of defending the ship, as each bears a built-in laser. Because of their small size, DRDs are also frequently used by crew members to search for lost items. Perhaps one of the most vital tasks of DRDs involved the use of translator microbes, which DRDs can inject in those who board the Leviathan.

DRDs vary one every ship but are generally oval in shape, and roughly 14 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. *Moya*'s DRDs were yellow, but *Talyn* had red DRDS that were also armed with more powerful weapons than the DRDs of more peaceful Leviathan biomechanoids.

Leviathan biomechanoids produce hundreds of DRDs.

## Notable DRDs

* DRD "1812"
* DRD "One-Eye"
* DRD "Pike"

Gagarin's Puzzle Ring

Yuri **Gagarin****'s puzzle ring** was a trinket that had once belonged to the famed Soviet cosmonaut. Like all puzzle rings, it consisted of several interconnected bands that appeared to be an endless knot. They could be taken apart easily -- the real challenge was in putting them back together.

Yuri Gagarin gave the trinket to Jack Crichton. It became his good luck charm, kept on a necklace, throughout his career as an astronaut. Before the launch of the *Farscape*-1 module, Jack gave the ring to his son John Crichton for luck -- insisting that he take it and give it back that night.

John Crichton did not make it home, but was instead swept through a wormhole to the other end of the Milky Way. Shortly thereafter, he was captured by Peacekeepers. He used the ring as a distraction, encouraging them to try it out. The Peacekeepers believed the ring was a "**field resourcefulness exercise**." In his subsequent escape, Crichton managed to take the ring back.

He kept the ring with him for some time. When he believed he had returned to Earth, he gave the ring to his father -- however, after the ruse by the Ancients was revealed "Jack" the Ancient returned the ring to Crichton.

Later, Crichton gave the ring to Ka D'Argo for luck, during the attack on the Gammak Base. D'Argo held onto the ring throughout the attack -- however, when he later found himself floating in space, alone and losing consciousness, the ring slipped from his fingers and drifted away in space.

Dampening Nets

**Dampening nets** are non-lethal weapons manufactured by the Plokavians. The weapon acts as a widespread ray of EMP, knocking out the power of its targets.

Bialar Crais sought one of these weapons to replace *Talyn*'s sonic ascendancy cannon with a dampening net, but *Talyn* destroyed Plokavians before it could be installed.

A dampening net is mentioned in *Farscape*.
Crew of the Rocinante

The *Rocinante* was a salvaged Martian frigate, originally called the *Tachi*. After its salvage by survivors from the *Canterbury* it was involved in numerous events throughout the Sol system, during which its crew consisted of the following members:

## Regular Crew Members

* Captain James Holden
* Executive Officer Naomi Nagata
* Helmsman Alex Kamal
* Chief Engineer Amos Burton

## Temporary Crew Members

* Josephus Miller
* Kenzo Gabriel
* Praxideke Meng
* Bobbie Draper
* Chrisjen Avasarala
* Anna Volovodov
* Felcia Mazur
* Carlos "Bull" De Baca
* Monica Stuart
Hur'q

The **Hur'q** were a species that invaded Qo'noS in the 24th century, raiding the planet and taking many culturally and historically significant artifacts -- including the Sword of Kahless and the Shroud of the Sword.

The Hur'q had outposts across the galaxy -- evidence of their civilization could be found as far from Qo'noS as the Gamma Quadrant.

DOMO

**DOMO**, colloquially known as the **Asian Alliance**, was a conglomerate of corporate entities based on the continent of Asia on Earth, and was truly the first of these to gain enough power and influence to become a global leader. They retained that position until China left the alliance -- leaving the North American Alliance as the economic superpower of Earth.

DOMO launched their first OIP into space around 2267 CE, however they launched several more soon afterwards. DOMO also established their own independent colony on Luna in 2298 CE -- a mining colony which produced ore then processed by DOMO's OIPs.

In 2309 CE, the League of Arab States fell into bankruptcy. The EEI took over their holdings, which DOMO wanted. The two coalitions entered into a proxy war, which cost DOMO significant amounts of money despite their eventual victory. DOMO was weakened for another ten years, even with the absorption of most of the New Russian Republic of States' holdings in 2312 CE. Interestingly, although the OIP Pasternak joined the EEI its spaceport opted to join with DOMO.

By 2347 CE, DOMO's financial power and economic influence was in a steep decline, ultimately leading them to join the other economic coalitions in the World Economic Consortium.

DOMO is derived from *Crusader: No Remorse*.
Co-Kura Strappa

**Co-Kura Strappa** was a mild-mannered scientist serving the Peacekeepers (despite not being Sebacean), assigned to Scorpius' wormhole project. After Project Leader Drillic was executed by Scorpius, Strappa became the de-facto project leader himself.

Strappa's nervousness and fear of failure was outweighed by his excitement at researching unexplored ideas, and breaking new ground in wormhole research. He enthusiastically agreed to help John Crichton with his research into wormholes when the human came aboard Scorpius' command carrier. When it became clear that Crichton's true intention was to destroy Scorpius' research, Strappa attempted to salvage the data. Eventually, however, Crichton managed to convince Strappa that the information Scorpius had gleaned was dangerous to the fate of the galaxy. To prevent catastrophe, Strappa had Crichton strap him into the Aurora Chair and forcibly extract the information from his brain.

His fate after this is unknown.
Communication Devices

**Communication devices**, or "**comms**", were systems that allowed individuals to communicate over distances. They were frequently employed on starships in order to keep the crew in constant communication. Even Leviathan biomechanoids had grown communications systems with portable, wearable devices that crew members could attach to their clothing.

Humans developed comms for their starships early in their spacefaring career, based largely off of the design of cell phones and walkie talkies. These were handheld devices carried by members of the crew. Eventually, comms were inserted into badges -- the invention of combadges, which eventually became a galactic standard. Nevertheless, many other designs of communicators were still in use.

Communicators appear in *Star Trek*, *Farscape*, and *Dark Matter*. For canon information, please visit:

Douglas "D.K." Knox

**Douglas "DK" Knox** was the best friend of John Crichton, and the lead scientist on the Farscape Project.

## History

DK and Crichton were best friends from childhood. Crichton even helped DK to cheat on his SATs during high school.

In adulthood, the two joined the International Aeronautics and Space Administration together. Crichton worked as an astronaut, while DK became a scientist. Together, they concocted a theory to boost the speed of manned spacecrafts, in which a planet's gravity would act as a slingshot. This theory was the foundation for the Farscape Project. While Crichton piloted the *Farscape-1* module, DK remained behind as ground control. Crichton proved the theory accurate, but was sucked through a wormhole -- losing contact with DK.

When Crichton returned to Earth with *Moya* in 2003 CE, DK was part of the team of scientists assigned to studying the alien technology they brought with them. Unfortunately, DK was one of the first to encounter the Skreeth -- an alien bounty hunter that had followed Crichton to Earth under the orders of Commandant Mele-on Grayza. The creature killed DK and his wife Laura Kopecki.

## False Earth

In an effort to interrogate Crichton, the Scarrans had used a mental probe to place him on a false Earth. In this hallucination, Crichton and DK were reunited. Although DK behaved normally enough at first, he became increasingly irrational as the hallucination grew more surreal.
