## "MANUAL AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED"

Whenever you see this, it means that the information (usually declassified) is locked behind a manual lock (just click on the yellow warning to access the information)

## Chiralzium Level

Found in every ***Chiral ability*** entry. This describes how much **Chiralzium** is required to unlock and use a Chiral ability.

## Chiralzium

Found in every humanoid lifeform. **Chiralzium** measures the lifeform's Chirality. Lifeforms below 5 nanograms are soulless.

## Soul Age/Shell Age

**Soul Age** describes the age of someone's soul.

**Shell Age** describes the age of someone's shell (or "body").

The difference is that the Shell Age does not matter in Chiral contexts as the body can be replaced, while someone's soul can not. The soul is everything a person is.

## Chiral Void

Exists outside **Chiralspace**, it is composed of raw Chiral energy. In the **Chiral Void**, there is no passage of time, no gravity, no light. If a lifeform "falls" into the **Chiral Void**, they will not die as their cells can not age. The **Chiral Network** does not reach the **Chiral Void**. The only way to reach the **Chiral Void** is either through a natural **Chiral Rift**, or an artificial **Chiral Rift**.

Below is an image detailing how the *Chiral Hierarchy* is built.

## Chiralspace

Composed of Chiral energy, contains the **Chiral Network**. Everything with a soul leaves a residual energy trace in **Chiralspace**, this is used by the ***Chiral Vision*** ability.

## Chiral Network

The most important **Chiral Node**, it has infinite paths leading anywhere and anytime. If the Chiral Network collapses, all of reality, every universe, dimension, and timeline will promptly cease to exist. By "cease to exist", we mean the pathways leading to all of reality, every universe, dimension, and timeline will cease to exist. The universes, dimensions and timelines themselves will remain intact, however, time will stop flowing as no new pathways can be formed. The only lifeform unaffected by the Chiral Network collapsing is *Admiral Noveak Norreph*, this is because he exists outside **Chiralspace**.

## Chiral Node

A **Chiral Node** is either a universe, dimension or timeline connected to the **Chiral Network**.

## Chiral Rift

A **Chiral Rift** is a tear in **Chiralspace**, it works similar to a wormhole. However, these rifts can be trans-dimensional. Usually, a **Chiral Rift** uses the **Chiral Network** and requires a destination, however, **Chiral Rift**s can be formed outside the **Chiral Network** and without a destination, doing such will cause the **Chiral Rift** to materialise whatever entered it into the **Chiral Void**.

## (Shield Types)

**Absorption** shields absorb incoming enemy fire. Only Chiral shields can do this. *If the polarity of a Chiral shield is reversed, it will generate power instead of consuming it.*

**Deflector** shields deflect incoming enemy fire over the entire shield-arc away from the ship.

**Reflector** shields reflect incoming enemy fire back towards the attacking ship. (`UNRELEASED EXPERIMENTAL CYBERTRONIAN TECHNOLOGY`)

*Only energy weapons are affected by **Reflector** shields*

## "Strain on User"

This describes how straining a *Chiral ability* is to cast, the closer to 10, the more difficult it is. If the person casting the ability has inadequate levels of **Chiralzium**, it will kill them due to their soul being destroyed by the immense strain.

## Chirality

**Chirality** is the term used that encompasses everything related to the **Chiral Void**. Most commonly *Chiral abilities*.

## Chiral Radiation

**Chiral Radiation**, measured in **CRU** (**C**hiral **R**ad **U**nit), is a super-ionising radiation only found in Chiralium-Antichiralium Combustion Reactors, and in the *Chiral Lightning* ability. A radiation level greater than 80 **CRU** will instantly kill any humanoid. 50 **CRU** will cause acute radiation sickness. 10 **CRU** will cause minor radiation sickness. 5 **CRU** is the minimum limit without radiation sickness, and is survivable for humanoids in good health. Only a super-dense containment field, or *Dark-Steel* can stop Chiralium radiation.

## Dark-Steel purity

Describes how much *Dark-Steel* is in a composite.
For **Dark-Steel** to be immune to **Chiral Disruption**, a purity of ≥80% is required. This purity also makes **Dark-Steel** able to block some *Chiral abilities***.**

For **Dark-Steel** to conduct **Chiral Energy**, a purity of 2% is required.

## Chiral Disruption

Describes the phenomenon that causes matter to be broken down into **Chiral Energy**.

## Chiral Energy

Is the energy that everything is composed of. This is a purified form of **Chiral Void Energy**. It is the energy used to cast *Chiral abilities*.

## Chiral Void Energy

Is the energy that originates from the **Chiral Void**. This energy is chaotic and unpredictably fluctuates. It can be used to amplify *Chiral abilities*. **Chiral Void Energy** is also parasitic in nature, it feeds of off other energy to grow.

## Cyberised

Cyberisation is the act of replacing organs, and/or limbs in a biological lifeform with machine-parts ("Bionic implants")

## Relationship Between Matter and Chiral Energy

Since everything originates from the **Chiral Void**, matter can be broken down into **Chiral Energy**, and **Chiral Energy** can be converted into matter.
