Janixx

**Janixx** was a Lost One of the Clansmen. At the age of 22 cycles, she refused to "Take the Stone" and began to suffer from the illness that affected all of her people beginning at that age. When John Crichton arrived on the planet, she was fascinated to see someone so old and yet so healthy. She proceeded to follow him -- when he confronted her, she claimed that Das knew why all of their people fell ill at 22 cycles old and -- before explaining herself -- she fled.
Mass Relays

The **mass relays** are massive devices used to transport spaceships between distant parts of the Milky Way, forming an enormous network -- though not as large as the Old Ones' Warp gates. Unlike warp gates, mass relays do not send vessels into the Warp, nor do they send them through a central pocket dimension as the Rings. Instead, mass relays use Element Zero to create a corridor within space-time to instantly transport a spaceship across vast distances -- distances that could take years or centuries to traverse even with faster-than-light drives. When activated, a relay shifts to align itself with its corresponding relay.

Mass relays feature two curved metal arms, which are fifteen kilometers (or nine miles) in length. These arms surround a set of rings five kilometers in diameter, which rotate like a gyroscope around a glowing core of pure Element Zero. They do not emit heat or radiation of any kind. They are remarkably sturdy -- able to withstand even supernovas -- and also have quantum shielding that renders them practically invulnerable. It is possible to destroy an asteroid, as proven by Dr. Amanda Kenson, who destroyed the Alpha Relay by launching a massive asteroid at it. The resulting explosion was comparable to a supernova and killed 300,000 inhabitants of the Bahak system.

For much of the history of the Citadel Council, it was believed the relays were a creation of the Protheans. In fact, they were built by the Reapers in order to help space-faring species advance quickly -- setting the stage for their harvests. The central hub of the network was the Citadel. In the Citadel's Presidium, a piece of Prothean artwork stands depicting a mass relay -- it is called the Relay Monument.

Many mass relays lay dormant. By Citadel Council rules, it is forbidden to activate a primary mass relay without knowing where the other end of the corridor it opens is. It was this rule that led to the First Contact War between humans and turians.

Commander Shepard ultimately used the technology of the mass relays to destroy the Reapers in 2986 CE, using the Crucible against the Catalyst. Unfortunately, without the Catalyst the Element Zero in the mass relays began to degrade and ultimately the mass relays all became inoperative.

## Known Mass Relays

Known mass relays include:

* Alpha Relay - located in the Bahak system. This was the oldest relay and was destroyed Dr. Amanda Kenson.
* Arcturus Prime Relay
* Charon Relay - formerly encased in ice, in orbit of Pluto.
* Citadel - unbeknownst to the residents, the Citadel was actually a gigantic mass relay built to allow the Reapers to infiltrate the Milky Way from the center of galactic politics.
* Harsa Relay
* Kappa Iota Relay
* Lowas Relay
* Mactare Relay
* Mu Relay
* Omega 2 Relay
* Omega 4 Relay
* Pelion Relay
* Rachni Relay
* Relay 202
* Relay 314
* Relay Monument
* Seinhand Relay
* Shanxi-Theta Relay

Kleeva

***Kleeva*** is a rank in the Luxan Army, used to designate a field officer. *Kleeva* could lead small squadrons or units in battle and it was often said that "*Kleeva* had the brains" in the Luxan military.

By the time of the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, Ka Jothee had earned this rank. He was, at that point, the youngest *Kleeva* in Luxan history.
Manéo Jung-Espinoza

**Manéo "Néo" Jung-Espinoza** was a Belter from Ceres who made a name for himself as a slingshot racer. After setting a new record on the Jupiter-6 Run with his ship the *Y Que*, Manéo informed his girlfriend Evita he was making his way to Saturn to break the record there as well. After spending months flying out to his new destination, he found he'd been usurped from the headlines by the appearance of the Ring near Uranus. To add insult to injury, Evita sent him a message breaking up with him for his brother.

Deciding to impress Evita, and all of the slingshot racer scene, Manéo changed his plans -- plotting a new course to slingshot himself through the Ring. As he approached the Ring, the UNS *Hammurabi* warned Manéo that he was flying through restricted space. Manéo ignored the warning and sped towards the Ring. The speed at which he approached activated the defenses within the Slow Zone, and opened the portal in the Ring. He slammed into the portal, decelerating so rapidly that his body was entirely liquefied instantly.

Kyona

Sergeant **Kyona** was second in command of Melkor's unit of commandos. Under orders from Bialar Crais, the unit tracked down *Moya* and her crew into the Uncharted Territories. Unlike the rest of her squadron, Kyona was cautious and skeptical -- suspicious of the condition in which they found the Leviathan biomechanoid: dead in space, with its bays wide open. The presence of a mysterious substance only deepened her suspicions.

Her suspicions soon proved justified. The entire squadron soon began to succumb to heat delirium, as the vessel was temporarily home to a nesting swarm of draks that had raised the heat by significant levels.

John Crichton allowed the commandos to escape -- telling them to bring Crais a message that any who followed him were facing certain death.
Magra

**Magra** was a term, frequently used in association with "fahrbot", used to emphasize the meaning of another word. Though the word originates in the Hynerian language,the inability of translator microbes to appropriately translate the word led to its greater use throughout the Hynerian Empire and the surrounding regions of space.
Navarians

The **Navarians** are a humanoid species native to the planet Lopovius. Navarians have no hair, and have a bony, horn-like structure that helps to protect their heads. They have rough, light purple skin.

Navarians are generally known to be sarcastic and reserved, but highly intelligent. Though Navarians are generally kind to most species they encounter, their centuries-long feud with the Bruidians with whom they share their home planet was infamous.

This conflict came to an end in 3419 CE, when Federation archaeologist Darulio was able to prove that both species shared a common ancestor.

## Source

Navarians are derived from *The Orville*.
Mass Accelerator

**Mass accelerators** are able to fire a solid metal slug using extremely precise electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. The ammunition is designed to shatter on impact, transferring all of its energy into the target. Otherwise, the round may pass through and do minimal damage. Using Element Zero, it is possible to accelerate these to incredible speeds. With Element Zero, the velocity can be so great that something as harmless and innocuous as a paint chip can unleash the devastation of a nuclear weapon. However, weapons such as these produce a recoil that is equivalent to their damage output -- making them very dangerous to use. Mass effect fields can mitigate this drawback.

A mass accelerator round was fired at a Reaper arund 37,000,000 BCE but passed through leaving it undamaged, ultimately striking the planet Klendagon and creating the Great Rift Valley.

## Source

Mass accelerators are derived from *Mass Effect*.
Leviathan of Dis

The **Leviathan of Dis** is the colloquial name given to the gigantic corpse of a Reaper found in a large crater on the planet Jartar in 2163 CE. The Reaper had been killed by Leviathans, and floated derelict in space before coming to rest on the planet.

The corpse was discovered and examined by a batarian survey team. The find was documented, albeit quickly as a batarian dreadnought entered the Dis system shortly after the discovery. Research indicated it was the remains of a genetically engineered spaceship, estimated to be just over a billion years old.

Afterwards, batarians denied the existence of the Leviathan of Dis, even when shown evidence by salarian researchers. The corpse, after its discovery, vanished -- though in truth it had been taken to be further researched in secret by batarians. The Leviathan of Dis, despite being a corpse for millenia, was able to indoctrinate several of the researchers and scientists, and even some batarian officials.

The indoctrinated batarians sabotaged the defenses of the Batarian Hegemony, leaving them vulnerable during the Reaper Invasion of 2186.

## Source

The Leviathan of Dis is taken from *Mass Effect 3*.
Skreeths

**Skreeths** are a terrifying, human-sized biped mostly protected by an exoskeleton. Skreeths originate in Tormented Space. They have exposed gums and teeth, giving them a haunting, skeletal appearance.

The exoskeleton gives Skreeths the natural ability to bend light around themselves -- making them invisible to the natural eye as long as they remain still. Skreeths also have some natural psionic capabilities, able to read the thoughts of anyone they are in contact with. They also have a symbiotic psychic connection to creatures called Larnapses, through which they can communicate instantly across a seemingly limitless distance.

Aside from these skills, Skreeths are very strong and remarkably agile. As such, they are often employed as assassins.
Lo'Laan Tal

**Lo'Laan Tal** was a Sebacean woman who married the Luxan Ka D'Argo. Her family bore a deep prejudice against Luxans, most notably her brother Macton, so she and D'Argo left her homeworld and settled on an agricultural planet. Though they were happy together, D'Argo did suffer from bouts of hyper-rage. Lo'Laan vowed that if he ever harmed her, she would leave him without question.

She and D'Argo had a son, who they named Ka Jothee. Some time after his birth, Macton tracked Lo'Laan down to confront her about marrying outside her species and to try to convince her to leave D'Argo and return to her family. Lo'Laan refused, and the confrontation turned violent. She attempted to stab her brother, who -- using his honed Peacekeeper training instinctively -- turned the blade back on Lo'Laan and killed her. In order to escape from punishment for the crime, Macton beat her body afterwards to make it appear that D'Argo had killed her in a fit of hyper-rage.
Neera

**Neera** was a priestan of the Acquarans, who had ambitious schemes to acquire more power and influence for herself. She was aware of the secret truths contained within the Timbala -- that the Hynerians were not gods but in fact were sovereign rulers. Nevertheless, she conspired to keep the populace of Acquara ignorant to this fact.

Furthermore, she pressured her son Rokon to marry Lishala -- the daughter of the village Grondeer. This plan was threatened by John Crichton's arrival on the planet, and so she urged Rokon to dispose of the visitor.

When Ka D'Argo arrived on the planet to bring Crichton back to *Moya*, Neera worked to turn the village against him and Crichton. This was further complicated by the arrival of Rygel XVI, who the Acquaranas believed was the Masata. Desperate for the truth not to be uncovered, Neera attempted to expose Rygel as a false god. Instead, however, Rygel and Crichton proved the prophecy correct and deactivated the dampening field around the planet.

Though defeated, Neera was alive when Crichton left the planet. Her fate afterwards is unknown, though she had little further influence on the history of the planet.
Larraq

**Larraq** was the leader of a small squadron of Peacekeeper commandos working for the Special Ops. His squadron had been assigned a dangerous and difficult Priority Red-One mission to recover and hold a prisoner -- specifically, the intellant virus.

After successfully containing the virus after a cycle of hunting for it, Larraq and his team found their Marauder had been damaged. Chancing upon the Leviathan biomechanoid, and unaware that she was not still loyal to the Peacekeepers, Larraq boarded *Moya* and took command of the ship citing Article 4-1-4 Decca. He routed the ship towards a Gammak Base. As the journey commenced, Larraq began to grow close to Aeryn Sun, unaware she had defected.

Shortly after this, Chiana and Rygel XVI's curiosity released the intellant virus into the crew. The virus jumped from crew to crew, ultimately leading to the death's of all of Larraq's squadron until it finally infected Larraq, who stabbed Aeryn and attempted to escape aboard the Marauder. John Crichton ignited the trail of cesium fuel leaking from the Marauder -- destroying the damaged vessel, the virus, and Larraq in the same moment.

Crichton would later pose as Larraq while attempting to infiltrate the Gammak Base.
Nausicaans

The **Nausicaans** were a physically large and imposing humanoid species native to Nausicaa in the Beta Quadrant. They had a reputation for being criminals, mercenaries, pirates, and thugs and were frequently hired to provide muscle for less-than-reputable operations around the Beta and Alpha Quadrants.

## Physiology

Nausicaans typically had ashen colored skin, and very distinctive faces notable for the mandibles and tusks that protruded around their mouths. A prominent bone structure added extra protection to their foreheads, and some Nausicaans also had a single line of four horns running down their forehead.

After physical exertion, the Nausicaan adrenal gland gave off a scent very much like that of some human females' sweat. Species with sensitive noses, such Vulcans, found the smell of Nausicaans even more disgusting than the smell of humans.

## History

Nausicaans are a relatively young species, having been engineered from the Yautje by Salarian scientists in an early effort to create controllable shock troops. However, despite the modifications made, the Salarians found that the Nausicaans were still too aggressive and difficult to control, as well as being significantly smarter than the Salarians had anticipated. Ultimately, the project was abandoned -- leaving the Nausicaans on the moon of a gas giant with relatively few resources in order to fend for themselves.

It was during these years they first began to earn a reputation for acting as pirates. Despite this, and their overall proximity to Earth, Nausicaans did not raid human colonies or ships -- they did not believe that such fledgling newcomers to space would have much worth stealing. It was not until after humans had developed warp drive that Nausicaans started considering them worthwhile targets. As such, officially recognized first contact between humans and Nausicaans did not occur until 3151 CE, when a group of Nausicaan pirates engaged in a conflict with ECS *Fortunate*.

Afterwards, Nausicaans found themselves in conflict with the United Federation of Planets on a somewhat regular basis and, in the 34th century, came into conflict with Jean-Luc Picard on a handful of occasions. By the latter half of that century, Nausicaan mercenaries frequently found themselves employed by members of both the Ferengi Alliance and the Orion Syndicate.

Molayne

Captain **Molayne** was the commander of a Peacekeeper command carrier that initially rescued the young Scorpius when the hybrid escaped from the Scarran Empire. Scorpius refused to divulge any information to anyone of lower rank, so Molayne met with Scorpius personally. He told the hybrid the truth of his heritage, and explained his mother's tragic fate.

When Scorpius was again captured by the Scarrans, and subsequently escaped once more, Molayne's command carrier destroyed the dreadnought and rescued Scorpius for a second time. Because of his invaluable service, the Peacekeepers waived their purity restrictions and admitted Scorpius to their ranks. Molayne was the first to welcome him.
Lukara

Lady **Lukara** was a prominent figure of Klingon legend, the great love Kahless the Unforgettable.

Notably, she alone stood beside him to fight off 500 soldiers under the command of Molor when they attacked the Great Hall of Qam-Chee. This was the beginning of their great romance. Legend states that following the battle, they "jumped on each other like a pair of crazed voles."

Molor's forces attacked the pair again, immediately after their wedding, and very nearly killed them before being driven back. Some time after their wedding, Kahless carved a statue of Lukara using a *bat'leth*.

Ilanics

**Ilanics** are a species distantly related to Luxans, though much more scientifically-minded. The sworn enemies of the Scorvians, the Ilanics had been engaged in a war against them which lasted eight cycles. The conflict was ultimately absorbed into the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, but not before the Ilanics attempted to weaponize the power of black holes. Though they failed in their efforts, the use of a black hole weapon by John Crichton scared the Scorvians into not continuing the conflict after the Scarrans and Peacekeepers had reached a treaty.
Krork

The **Krork** were an ancient warrior species created by the Old Ones to help defend the Milky Way from their enemies. They were psionically powerful, capable of altering reality to their own beliefs. Eventually, the Krork evolved into the violent and green-skinned Orks.

## Source

The Krork are derived from *Warhammer 40,000*.
Morgan Industries

**Morgan Industries** was a corporation originally from Earth. They were contracted by the United Nations to construct the *Unity* in order to colonize another planet outside of the Sol system and thus escape the brewing corporate wars on their homeworld. After the ship was launched, an unregistered cryocell was found -- not mentioned on any manifests. It contained Morgan Industries CEO Nwabudike Morgan -- also escaping the risk of open corporate warfare.

Upon waking, Morgan quickly established himself -- and proved to be the formidable reason behind his company's success. He forced his way into the deliberations of the senior staff, and as the crew began to splinter behind various leaders, he convinced many of them to follow his lead. On Chiron, he promised luxury and wealth, luring even more to his side. He established a new Morgan Industries, which sought a monopoly over all of humanity. He and his followers, the Morganites, were devoted to capitalism.

As he rebuilt his corporation on Chiron, Morgan gave each of his followers shares -- allowing them to participate in public discourse as shareholders. Each new settlement was considered a subsidiary of Morgan Industries. There were no handouts and no support for his citizens -- they held jobs, or were forced out into the wilds of a hostile planet. As such, many Morganites found themselves in terrible positions, working as in dangerous jobs just to survive.

## Colonies

These are the colonies founded on Chiron by Morgan Industries. As each was considered a subsidiary, they were each named after the industry that the colony was primarily supported by or the purpose they served for the larger corporation.

Kaarvok

**Kaarvok** was a criminally insane prisoner of the Peacekeepers, kept in isolation aboard the Leviathan biomechanoid *Rohvu*. Kaarvok had been cybernetically augmented with implants, though who did this and what the purpose of the implants was is unknown.

While in transit aboard *Rohvu*, Kaarvok managed to single-handedly stage a break-out, by somehow gaining a degree of control over the ship's security systems. Using a device in his possession, he was able to continuously duplicate or "twin" the Peacekeepers aboard. This eventually turned the Peacekeepers into an animalistic, and cannibalistic, subspecies of Sebacean, which Kaarvok named the "Xarai".

When a transport pod bearing Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis, Ka D'Argo, John Crichton, and Chiana boarded *Rohvu*, Kaarvok used his device on the newcomers as well. He managed to "twin" Chiana, D'Argo, and Crichton -- though he killed one of the D'Argo twins, and one of the Chiana twins was devoured by the Xarai. Crichton managed to kill Kaarvok, putting an end to his reign of terror.
Karanda

Officer **Karanda** was a member of the Peacekeepers who was assigned to Aeryn Sun's unit under Captain Bialar Crais' command. After Aeryn was declared irreversibly contaminated, the entire unit was demoted.

Karanda was relegated to menial duties, and as a result he ended up supervising technicians, including Gilina Renaez, aboard the *Zelbinion*. When Sheyangs attacked the ship, Karanda was killed.
Magnetic organism

The **magnetic organism** was an ancient evil, non-corporeal entity of an unknown species. It appeared to be made of pure energy. It had a magnetic flux that pulsated rythmically, like a heartbeat, and increased as the entity gained strength. The entity was capable of possessing both mechanical and biological structures and taking control of them. It was believed to be capable of reproducing through mitosis.

In 300,000,000 BCE, the organism was encountered by an insectoid-like spaceship. The crew of the ship ssacrificed themselves, and destroyed their ship in order to keep the organism from threatening the rest of the galaxy. The immortal creature survived on the ship, though trapped, for millions of years.

In 3269 CE, the ship was discovered by the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701). The organism took control of the *Enterprise* and set a course for the galactic center. The crew managed to fool the creature into believing they would destroy the ship -- forcing it to escape into a dead star. Instead, the crew engaged their warp drive to escape the gravity of the star and left the organism trapped.

## Source

The magnetic organism is derived from *Star Trek: The Animated Series*.
Khalaan

**Khalaan** was a religious figure revered by the Pa'u of the Delvian Seek. In desperate times, Khalaan could be prayed to for divine intervention.

## Prayer

One commonly heard prayer to Khalaan contained the following words, chanted over and over.

"*Kay'me maia kosa Visha'meel maia kosa ah Khalaan ah Khalaan.*"

The prayer could not be interpreted by translator microbes.
Karen Shaw

**Karen Shaw** was the name of the woman that John Crichton lost his virginity to. In truth, Karen Shaw was Chiana, having accidentally time traveled with the rest of *Moya*'s crew to 1985 CE.

Chiana had given the young Crichton her real name, which he misheard as Karen, and then mistook her cry of excitement to be the surname "Shaw". He believed her to be wearing a Halloween costume.

Later, when Noranti Pralatong used one of her powders to make the young Crichton forget his encounter with his future crewmates, Chiana placed a suggestion in his mind that he not forget Karen Shaw.

Either Karen Shaw was, in fact, a real person who Crichton lost his virginity to, or the time travel incident was actually always a pre-destined part of the history of the Prime Reality and did not alter the course of events at all.
League of Arab States

The **League of Arab States** was, like the League of African Nations, a coalition of economic and political powers in the Middle East. Their primary economic asset, which also gave them the majority of their political power, was the reserves of fossil fuels. While humans had stopped completely relying on these many years before the League was founded, enough industries still utilized fossil fuels to varying degrees that the League of Arab States was able to hold their own for some time.

In 2309 CE, however, the fossil fuel reserves had run dry and the League of Arab States was forced to declare bankruptcy. Their territory was quickly claimed by the Europa Economic Interest. DOMO, however, had a vested interest in those territories as well and a legal battle ensued that damaged DOMO financially even though they emerged victorious.

Mayla Spores

**Mayla spores** are a potent hallucinogen that, when coupled with spit from species with psionic capabilities, can have a hypnotic effect. Utu Noranti Pralatong often used mayla spores, prepared with her own spit, to various effects during her travels aboard *Moya*.

She used them to plant subliminal messages in John Crichton's mind, to distract mercenary Tarkans, to access memories of the Darnaz Triangle, and to give Charrids in Tormented Space delusions.

## Source

Mayla spores are derived from *Farscape*.
Kurl

**Kurl** was a planet in the Kurlan system, once inhabited by the Kurlan people. The civilization that had once been on the planet went extinct, but the planet became a place of interest for archaeologists. Richard Galen examined some of the artifacts, taking a particular interest in the works of the Master of Tarquin Hill.

The nearest planet to Kurl that was capable of supporting life was Loren III.
Jack Crichton

**John "Jack" Robert Crichton Sr.** was a human astronaut, husband of Leslie Crichton, and father of John Crichton, Olivia Crichton, and Susan Crichton Coleman. The two Crichton men were very close -- close enough that one Ancient took the form of Jack in order to make John feel comfortable, even after John was aware of the alien's true nature.

As a kid, Jack had met Yuri Gagarin. The Soviet cosmonaut had given him a puzzle ring, which would go on to become his good luck charm.

Jack was nearly the commander of the doomed final *Challenger* mission, having received the assignment in 1985 CE due primarily to the influence of accidental time travel by *Moya* and her crew. John managed to correct the timeline without making direct contact with his father and Jack avoided the fate of the rest of the *Challenger* crew. Although not present on that mission, Jack became an accomplished astronaut who walked on the surface of Luna. Because of his tremendous accomplishments, his son and his son's friends would covertly refer to Jack as "**one small step**."

Prior to the launch of *Farscape*-1, Jack gave his good luck puzzle ring to his son and proudly watched from the IASA control room as the Farscape Project tested its theories -- only to be struck by grief when his son's module disappeared from readings.

In John's absence, Jack developed a highly nationalistic, isolationist attitude -- primarily due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. John was dismayed when he returned to Earth in 2003 CE, but the two eventually put aside their differences and resumed their former close relationship. John managed to convince Jack to support a unified world, so that the world would be prepared to face the challenges posed by the rest of the galaxy.

Months later, John managed to contact Jack once more -- with the Scarrans on their way to attack the Earth, John had no choice but to destroy the wormhole that connected Earth to the Uncharted Territories. Jack bid his son farewell, knowing he would never see him again. So that this sacrifice was not made in vain, Jack determinedly set about uniting the various governments of Earth in preparation for a more official first contact with alien species.

Although his work would largely go unrecognized, Jack Crichton was instrumental in convincing the United Nations to consolidate power and become a true world government.

Nebari Vessels

**Nebari vessels** are small crafts used by the Nebari Establishment. They range from 40 to 60 meters in length, and feature a stepped-cylindrical body that extends from an egg shaped rear drive system. The front end of the ship is mostly flat, and contains a viewing port. The ships also possess a single energy weapon called a phase cannon.

The ship contains four prison cells, one cockpit, a small barracks containing four bunks, an engineering room, a small refreshment room, and a storage space.

Miklo Braca

**Miklo Braca** was an ambitious Peacekeeper who rose through the ranks of the organization and served under several of the most notable Peacekeeper commanders. As a Lieutenant, he initially served under Captain Bialar Crais -- who accurately described Braca as the "consummate Peacekeeper". However, with Crais' fall from favor and the destruction of the Gammak Base, Braca soon became the executive officer of Scorpius.

Eventually, however, Commandant Mele-On Grayza stripped Scorpius of his command. She did, however, recognize Braca's good and loyal service to the Peacekeepers and took him on as her right hand man and promoted him to the rank of Captain.

Unbeknownst to Grayza, Braca was still working on behalf of Scorpius. When Grayza's behavior grew erratic and seemed to put her own interests above those of the Peacekeepers, Braca used the Uniform Code of Admiralty Conduct to take command from her. He then revealed his true loyalty to Scorpius -- who he believed did have the best interests of the Peacekeepers in mind.

Braca proved himself a skilled pilot and soldier during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, and managed to survive the war -- although he was injured.
Luxans

**Luxans** are a humanoid, warrior race originating from the Delta Quadrant, near the Uncharted Territories. Culturally, Luxans bear many similiarities to Klingons and it is theorized that the races may be distantly related. Luxans are positively known to be cousins of the Ilanics.

## Physiology

Luxans are characterized primarily by the eight tentacles -- called "tenkas" that extend from their heads in place of hair. Luxan males have lengthy, pointed chins -- which may be tattooed to denote military rank. Luxan males are also subject to a type of madness called "Hyper-Rage", which is a blinding rage that subsides only when they have killed someone or broken something or -- in rare instances -- subsides over a lengthy period of time.

Luxans have a superb sense of smell. Their blood, which is a reddish-black, is pumped through their bodies by two hearts. This allows Luxans to survive in the vacuum of space for half an arn. Luxan wounds are prone to infection, however, and in order to avoid this their wounds must be forced to bleed until the color of the blood changes from black to clear. Luxans are also able to wield a prehensile tongue, able to grab objects from several feet away or deliver a venomous sting capable of stunning a grown man.

## Culture

Luxans have a warrior culture with a strict code of honor, which includes rules such as never deceiving an opponent, refusing to abandon their allies, and allowing retribution for aggression against an ally. Luxans have no word for "suicide" as it is considered a dishonorable act. Luxans are proud creatures and seldom apologize.

Luxan society is not merely one of warriors. The spiritual leaders of Luxan society are called Oricans, who are capable of incredible psionic feats. Luxans also place great value on the arts, and particularly value the music of an instrument called the shilquen.

Luxans mate through a ritual known as the Luxan Chase. This ritual, which involves the male courting the female, lasts roughly twelve arns.

Irreversible Contamination

**Irreversible contamination** was a term used by Peacekeepers, for anyone who had come into prolonged contact with an unknown life form -- either willingly or unwillingly. Peacekeepers who were given this label often shared the same fate as the unknown life form -- which was typically execution.

Kor Tosko

**Kor Tosko** was a Luxan ambassador, who sought to build alliances between the people of the Uncharted Territories and the Peacekeepers during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. He was frequently frustrated and dismayed to discover that the people of the Uncharted Territories frequently feared the Peacekeepers as much as they feared the Scarran Empire.

He was especially unhappy to learn that Commandant Mele-on Grayza had given part of the Luxan Territories to the Scarran Empire in negotiations -- viewing this as a terrible betrayal of his people.
Mass Effect Drives

**Mass effect drives** are a technology developed by many species that allow for faster-than-light travel through space. They are based upon the technology used in the mass relay network.

Mass effect drives use Element Zero to generate a mass effect field surrounding the ship in question. The amount of Element Zero required is directly proportionate to the size and mass of the ship, as well as the speeds desired. As a result, it is exceedingly costly to create large ship capable of faster-than-light speeds through mass effect drives.

Mass effect drives are not, by themselves, a method of propulsion. All ships equipped with a mass effect drive must also be equipped with another means of propelling the ship in its desired direction -- thrusters, chemical rockets, etc. Should the vessel still be in motion when the mass effect field collapses, aside from snapping the ship back into sublight speeds, a massive amount of energy is released in the form of deadly Cherenkov radiation.

The more amount of time a ship spends in the mass effect field, the more static charge it builds up. This charge must be periodically dissipated -- either through contact with a planet's atmosphere or surface, or with specially designed discharging facilities which can be found on most space stations. The Citadel was equipped with dozens of discharging facilities. If it is not discharged, eventually it will discharge into the hull of the ship itself and fry every living being aboard the ship.

Nerri

**Nerri** was the older brother of Chiana, who eventually came to be a leader in the Nebari Resistance.

## History

In their youth, Nerri and Chiana chose to leave Nebari Prime, rather than submitting to the conformity of the Nebari Establishment. The Establishment permitted this and even provided them with free transport off of the planet, and free medical examinations.

They made a life for themselves in the Uncharted Territories for two cycles -- doing anything and everything to get by. Eventually, however, Nerri was contacted by a dissident within the Nebari government who told him of the Nebari Contagion and explained that the siblings had been infected with it during their medical examination. They had been spreading the contagion through their numerous sexual encounters. Nerri's contact provided him with a cure which -- although painful -- rid both he and Chiana of the infection.

Knowing that his contact's identity was a valuable piece of intelligence to the Nebari Establishment, Nerri realized he needed to part ways with Chiana. The two had life discs implanted to keep them linked, but otherwise cut all ties. Nerri joined the Nebari Resistance, hoping to fight the Establishment's agenda and -- perhaps -- overthrow their regime.

Nerri had to deactivate his life disc in order to avoid pursuit, but entrusted a recording explaining his situation to Meelak in case he encountered Chiana, though he was given strict instructions not to bring Chiana into the Resistance.

Nerri continued to lead the Resistance for the remainder of his days and, eventually, formed an unofficial alliance with the Uncharted Alliance to stand against the Nebari Establishment. Though Nerri never saw the Establishment toppled, he was instrumental in preventing their expansion.
Perpetual

**Perpetuals** were a mutant subspecies of humans, who possessed immortality. Often, though not always, they were also capable of other incredible superhuman feats. Some Perpetuals were known to be incredibly powerful psionics. It was possible for this lifespan to be granted through the use of technology -- while true Perpetuals were born that way, some Perpetuals were created.

No matter their origins, Perpetuals did not age and could heal from virtually any injury, even those that would typically be fatal. There are records of Perpetuals surviving dismemberment, suffocation, decapitation, and even direct energy assaults. The cellular regeneration of Perpetuals is rapid and efficient.

There are only two known means to kill a Perpetual -- one is through the use of the weapon called the *Fulgurite*. This weapon was created by psychically produced lightning fusing sand on the surface of Traoris. As this lightning was created by the most powerful known Perpetual, the Emperor of Mankind, it is unlikely that another of this weapon could ever be created.

Offering a much slower alternative, the complex fields surrounding the planet Holberg 917G in the Omega system slowed the cellular regeneration of Perpetuals so that they could die a natural death of old age.

* Flint
* Primarch Vulkan

Marco Inaros

**Marco Inaros** was a Belter who was a radical, extremist member of the Outer Planet Alliance. Marco was charismatic but egomaniacal, and fully believed that the Belt needed to go to war and win against both Earth and Mars in order to achieve true independence.

## History

Marco Inaros lived on Pallas Station for a time, and was romantically involved with Naomi Nagata. The two had a son named Filip. He stayed up late in bars, listening to speeches by OPA leaders -- wanting to join the fight. To that end he began building a small faction and, eventually, coerced Naomi into developing a code that would sabotage the reactor cores of spacefaring vessels. Marco used this code on the *Augustin Gamarra*, a civilian ship that was docked on Luna. The resulting explosion killed 516 people. Naomi was overwhelmed with guilt and attempted to leave Marco with their son -- however, Marco hid their child from her. Eventually, Naomi left without their child.

Over the years, Marco grew his faction. After the Sol Ring opened, he saw his opportunity. Working with defectors from Mars, he built up a fleet of battleships and coated asteroids in Martian stealth technology.

Kreetago

**Kreetago** was a Pathfinder aboard the research vessel that collided with the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya*. Under instruction from Neeyala, he was exposed to a phaztillon generator that rendered him invisible. This allowed him to traverse *Moya* undetected, giving him ample opportunity to sabotage crew.

He was confronted by Ka D'Argo and Chiana, at which time he fired poison barbs at Chiana and struck her. Shortly thereafter, D'Argo slew Kreetago while the Pathfinder was invisible.
Nacene

The **Nacene** were an extragalactic, energy-based species. Only two were ever encountered within the Milky Way.

## Physiology

The Nacene, as energy-based entities, were able to exist within subspace and were therefore capable of moving a faster-than-light speeds on their own. They could also manipulate subspace realms including the Warp and the Void.

The natural form of the Nacene was gelatinous in appearance, but in truth was non-corporeal. Despite this, upon the event of their death, they did leave behind a crystalline form. Nacene were capable of manipulating this form at will.

### Reproduction

Nacene reproduced with each other through the use of spores. They were also capable of reproducing with compatible humanoid species, although compatible species were rare or non-existent within the Milky Way galaxy.

## Culture

Very little is known about the culture and society of the Nacene, though it can be reasoned that they feel a responsibility for the consequences of their actions. When the Nacene expedition into the Milky Way accidentally made the planet Ocampa uninhabitable, two members of the expedition were left behind to take care of the surviving Ocampans.

Julie Mao

**Juliette "Julie" Andromeda Mao** was the rebellious youngest daughter of Jules-Pierre Mao. She was noted for her highly motivated and determined personality, and for her expertise as a pilot.

## History

Julie Mao was born on Earth in the 23rd century. She had a tumultuous relationship with her father, and with her older sister Clarissa Mao. Nevertheless, in her youth, she taught herself archery in one day. She also became an adept pilot, racing with her personal ship the *Razorback*.

Her difficult family eventually led to her rejecting her father's wealth and corporate life. She fled to Ceres in the Belt, and joined a student activist group with ties to the Outer Planets Alliance. The OPA gave her the codename "**Lionel Polanski**." Meanwhile, her father tried to pressure her to return home to Earth. Instead, Julie hired a data broker to hack his network. In the information that was uncovered, Julie discovered a secret project involving a substance discovered on Phoebe -- something that Jules-Pierre Mao believed could shift the balance of power within the Sol system. She learned the substance was bound for Eros aboard the *Anubis*. Julie returned to the data broker to procure the *Anubis*' flight path.

Julie brought this information to Anderson Dawes. Fred Johnson authorized a mission to intercept the *Anubis*, sending the ship the *Scopuli* with Julie aboard. However, the *Anubis* overpowered the *Scopuli*, disabling the ship. The *Anubis* crew boarded, killing all of the OPA crew members except for Julie -- recognizing her as the daughter of Jules-Pierre Mao, they took her to their ship and locked her in a locker. Ironically, this would allow her to survive when the protomolecule infected everyone else on the ship.

Julie escaped the *Anubis* and made her way to Eros. Once she arrived there, however, she discovered that she had been infected as well. She barricaded herself in a cheap hotel room, booked under the name Lionel Polanski, and reached out to Anderson Dawes. She never received word back from the OPA, ultimately dying in her room. There, her corpse was found by Josephus Miller and the crew of the Rocinante.

As the protomolecule infected all of Eros, Julie's consciousness became part of it. When the protomolecule caused Eros to dodge the *Nauvoo* after it had been launched at it, Julie's piloting instincts took control and she began to race for home -- Earth. Only the intervention of Josephus Miller convinced her, instead, to crash the infected asteroid into Venus.

Jilnak

**Jilnak** is a substance that Traskans are able to vomit. It is sometimes used for medicinal purposes, as it is a nutritious restorative (and is known to taste just like chicken). However, anyone who ingests it will likely vomit violently and repeatedly so it is primarily used to expel harmful toxins from the body.
LoMo

**LoMo** is a Class M pleasure planet, renowned for its beaches and the quality of its entertainment and hospitality and located within the Uncharted Territories. It was, at one time, the center of a bustling freslin trade and harvesting operation.

LoMo is seen in an episode of the third season of *Farscape*.
Naiskos

***Naiskos*** are a ceramic figurine that were a type of artwork made by the Kurlan people. They are hollow, with a wide base. Inside were several smaller figurines the same shape and design as the larger one. It is believed that this represents the philosophy held by the Kurlan that each individual is a community of individuals, each with their own voice. The ornamental designs sculpted on the outside sculpture could be used to identify what dynasty it was created during -- with the exception of those created by the Master of Tarquin Hill which were roughly 300 cycles ahead of their time.

By the 34th century, finding complete naiskos was incredibly rare. In 3369 CE, Professor Richard Galen found a complete naiskos made by the Master of Tarquin Hill -- a remarkable find -- and gifted it to Captain Jean-Luc Picard. It decorated the captain's ready room until USS *Enterprise*-D crashed on Veridian III in 3371 CE.
