Jupiter

**Jupiter**, also known as **Sol V**, was the largest planet in the Sol system and the fifth from the star Sol. The planet was noted for its bands of clouds and numerous moons -- a total of 95. It was the closest planet to the asteroid belt, though it was on the outer side of it. The bands of clouds were frequently disturbed by massive storms, such as the Great Red Spot.

Numerous probes were sent to learn about this planet, including the *Pioneer 11*.

Many of the Jovian moons were terraformed or colonized as humanity spread into the outer planets of the Sol system.

Fek'lhri

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.

Aia

**Aia**, also called the **Grief World**, was the planet at the center of the Conclave of Eight, completely uninhabited. It was, however, the location of the Admonition -- a message left for synthetic lifeforms as a means for them to summon the Reapers back into the galaxy outside of their normal cycle.

The planet was discovered by ancient Romulans, who perceived the Admonition as a warning against synthetic lifeforms and created the Zhat Vash as a response. Subsequent generations of Zhat Vash initiates wold visit the planet and experience the Admonition themselves -- even though it drove many potential members of the secret society insane.

Leviathan of Dis

The **Leviathan of Dis** was the colloquial name given to the gigantic corpse of a Reaper found in a large crater on the planet Jartar in 2963 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 2986.

Isaac Newton

**Isaac Newton** was a human mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian and author who's scientific discoveries helped to shape humanity's future. He was born -- according to the calendar used at the time -- on December 25, 1642 CE. However, when his native country adopted the Gregorian calendar, his date of birth technically became January 4, 1643 CE.

Isaac was nearly arrested as a suspect in several prostitute murders, and would have subsequently died in debtor's prison except for the influence of Quinn. It was also Quinn who caused Isaac to consider the nature of gravity, by shaking an apple loose from a tree so that it hit Isaac in the head. As a result, he formulated the laws of motions and universal gravity which became the central viewpoint of most scientists until the theory of relativity was developed by Albert Einstein.

Using the laws of gravity and his mathematical prowess, Isaac was able to account for various behaviors including planetary motions, tides, and comets. He removed any doubt that Earth was orbiting Sol -- something the Galileo Galilei had been villified for advocating only a generation before. Ultimately, he died in his sleep on March 31, 1727 CE.

In later centuries, Isaac's contributions to science would not be forgotten. He was one of six astronomers honored by a monument in front of the Griffith Observatory in the 20th century. Even as late as 3369 CE, he was considered one of the greatest minds in human history, and as such Data considered his behavior worth studying in the holodeck.

In 3372 CE, Q pulled Isaac from his own time in order to testify at a hearing about Quinn. The memory of the event was removed from his mind when he was transported back.

**Beelo Gurji** was a salarian operative of the Special Tasks Group. In 1493 CE, he was accused of using thirty civilians as bait during the course of one of his missions -- using them to find his target.

Claptraps

**CL4P-TP General Purpose Robots** -- more commonly called **Claptraps** -- were a variety of work robot created and manufactured by the Hyperion Corporation. Each Claptrap was programmed with smart aleck and eccentric personalities, though each was slightly different and unique as a testament to Hyperion's work in artificial intelligence. These personality traits, however, left them often incapable or unwilling to complete even the most basic menial tasks.

Claptraps were Hyperion's stewards on Pandora, and could often be found in any populated area. As many denizens of the planet found them annoying, Claptraps were often in need of repair -- either from intentional neglect or intentionally inflicted damage.

Earthers

**Earthers** were humans born on the planet Earth. They were shorter and squatter than humans who developed in less gravity -- such early Martians or Belters. They were sometimes perjoratively called "**Squats**" by some Belters. Earthers were sometimes called "Inners" or "inyalowda" by Belters, or "tumang" in the Belter Creole.

The term was used infrequently by humans, if at all, once the species had established colonies outside of the Sol system and was abandoned almost after the repopulation of Earth. By the time the United Federation of Planets had reached prominence in the galaxy, the term was relegated to a derogatory insult used by other species that applied to humans in general -- no matter where they had been born.

Lieutenant **Fenra Teeg** was a bridge officer under the command of Captain Bialar Crais. Teeg was the unfortunate officer who initially reported the death of Tauvo Crais.

As Bialar Crais began to unravel in his obsessive pursuit of John Crichton, Teeg lied to her superiors and covered up his paranoia and bizarre behaviors. When she informed him that he had been ordered to return to Peacekeeper High Command, however, Crais killed her in order to keep those orders secret.

Conclave of Eight

The **Conclave of Eight** or the **Eightfold Stars** was an octonary star system lost in the Beta Quadrant. Reapers had moved eight stars across the galaxy and placed them in orbit around each other, with the planet Aia located in the center.

The Romulans discovered the Conclave and found the Admonition there hundreds of cycles before the 34th century. Those that survived the encounter formed the Zhat Vash. Some ancient Romulan star charts showed the location of the Conclave of Eight, although many considered these maps apocryphal as no modern Romulan star charts included this system.

After androids attacked Mars, Raffaela Musiker became obsessed with conspiracies in an attempt to explain it. She came across references to the Conclave of Eight during her investigations but mistook it to mean a group of people. However, in 3399 CE, she discovered drawings by "disordered" Romulan xBs that led her to believe it was in fact a star system. With more information provided to her by Dr. Agnes Jurati, Raffi was able to surmise that the purpose of the star system was to draw attention to the message located on Aia.

Emissary of the Prophets

The **Emissary of the Prophets** was an important religious figure to the Bajorans, who had been prophesied for thousands of cycles -- beginning with the writings of Trakor. According to prophecies, the Emissary would save Bajor by finding the Celestial Temple. Bajoran culture, as it waited for the Emissary, had preemptively given the Emissary authority to perform several ceremonies and blessings.

## History

After millennia, the Prophets saw fit to bring about the birth of Benjamin Sisko.

In 3369 CE, Kai Opaka read Sisko's *pagh* and learned he was the Emissary. She advised him he needed to find the Celestial Temple and warn the Prophets about the Cardassians. Shortly afterwards, he discovered the Bajoran wormhole and made first contact with the entities inside it.

As a human, it took Sisko a great deal of time and effort to convince the Bajorans that he was truly the Emissary -- especially as he was sometimes not particularly eager to take on the role. In one instance, the Prophets allowed a time displaced Bajoran named Akorem Laan to believe he was the Emissary in order to prove to Sisko that he needed to embrace his role.

In 3373 CE, Sisko received prophetic visions which allowed him to rediscover the lost city of B'hala. This discovery led directly to Sisko initiating the Reckoning between a Prophet and the pah-wraith Kosst Amojan. The following year, the Bajoran wormhole was disrupted by Gul Dukat released a pah-wraith into the Orb of Contemplation -- Sisko managed to undo the damage by finding the Orb of the Emissary on the planet Tyree and releasing the Prophet held within it.

This was not the Emissary's most difficult task -- for that was still to come in 3375 CE. When Dukat gained the *Book of Kosst Amojan* and attempted to use it to release the pah-wraiths imprisoned in the Fire Caves, they made the Cardassian their Emissary. In a fight to prevent a new era of destruction upon the galaxy, Benjamin Sisko sacrificed himself to destroy Dukat and the book in his possession. Before his death, the Prophets brought him into the Celestial Temple to join them for eternity -- his tasks as Emissary fulfilled.

Naiskos

***Naiskos*** were ceramic figurines that were a type of artwork made by the Kurlan people. They were hollow, with a wide base. Inside were several smaller figurines the same shape and design as the larger one. It was believed that this represented the philosophy held by the Kurlan that each individual was 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 the USS *Enterprise*-D crashed on Veridian III in 3371 CE. Although it survived the impact, Picard began keeping the artifact safely on Earth.

Builders

The **Builders** were a species of arrogant non-corporeal, peaceful entities who had god-like powers. They generally appeared as gaseous streams of white smoke but were able to corporealize into humanoid forms. They originally constructed the Leviathan biomechanoids - eventually, however, they granted them sapience and an ability to reproduce on their own. They continued to watch over their creations for some time -- to ensure they remained peaceful and did not pose a threat to the rest of the galaxy's life.

After *Moya* gave birth to the gunship *Talyn*, the Builders believed she should be decommissioned. However, Zotoh Zhaan proved to the Builder Kahaynu that *Moya* was not a threat and that she was in good hands. Though still wary, the Builders allowed both *Moya* and *Talyn* to continue their existences.

Andromedans

**Andromedans** was a name given to one species native to the Andromeda Galaxy. This species in particular was 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 had no discernible appendages and a faint green glow. This form was only been seen upon their deaths, as contact with the Andromedans was extremely limited.

The Andromedans, through their ruse, were able to destroy the galactic barrier maintained by the Terran Federation and invade the Milky Way. The ensuing Intergalactic War was only narrowly won by the Federation. It was 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.

Ahkna

War Minister **Ahkna** was a Scarran of the Ruling Caste, and a high-ranking member of the Scarran Hierarchy who reigned over Scarran Empire. She was, in fact, in the running to take the crown from Emperor Staleek. Ahkna firmly believed in the uncompromising superiority of the Scarran race and was certain that all other species of the Milky Way would one day fall under Scarran rule.

Ahkna attempted to negotiate with Peacekeeper Commandant Mele-on Grayza, entertaining the idea of allowing the Peacekeepers to take control over the Uncharted Territories in exchange for the Luxan Territories. Ultimately, however, Ahkna decided her interest in wormhole weapons far outweighed the benefits of negotiating. She took Grayza captive instead. John Crichton intervened in the peace negotiations, capturing Ahkna's ire as he offered wormhole technology to the highest bidder. Her plans were brought to a halt when the crew of *Moya* destroyed Katratzi.

When war broke out in the Uncharted Territories, Ahkna pushed for Staleek to win the war -- using all of her cunning to undermine his efforts to find peace. These schemes included efforts to terminate Aeryn Sun's pregnancy while it was being held inside Rygel XVI, and destroying Ka D'Argo's ship *Lo'La.* With Crichton still free from Scarran hold, and her prospects for the throne growing dimmer, Ahkna followed Crichton to the surface of Qujaga and threatened to kill him -- however, her single-minded focus left her open to an attack from Aeryn -- who fired her weapon into the back of Ahkna's head and killed her.

Based on lessons learned from the xel'naga, who's well-intentioned nurturing of protoss development nearly led the species to destruction, the Dae'Uhl instructed protoss to protect and safeguard "lesser races" without directly interfering in their growth or development.

Elack

***Elack*** was a male Leviathan biomechanoid, partnered with a female Pilot. The two were bonded for over 350 cycles and were quite old by the time of their death.

They had toured the Uncharted Territories, entirely independent of any political organization, for much of their life. Nearing the end of their life, they traveled towards the sacred Leviathan burial space. When they approached the space, they discovered John Crichton -- floating in a fuelless *Farscape-1* module.

*Elack*, with its new crew member, toured the sacred burial space for some time. During this time, Crichton adopted a Diagnostic Repair Drone, which he painted the color of the French flag and named DRD "1812". Crichton passed the time drinking and scribbling out wormhole formulas, while hoping to come into contact with *Moya* once again.

Eventually, a small craft carrying Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu crashed into *Elack*, ahead of a number of Grudeks looking to harvest toubray tissue. The Grudeks soon arrived, and Sikozu reluctantly agreed to help Crichton defend *Elack* from them. Before much longer, Chiana and Rygel XVI found *Elack* while searching for Crichton.

After defeating the Grudeks, *Elack* was convinced to seek out *Moya*. They found her last location above the planet Arnessk. Though *Moya* had gone by the time they reached the planet, Ka D'Argo, Noranti Pralatong, and Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis were still on the planet. Peacekeepers soon arrived, and conflicts ensued. Ultimately, in order to help the crew of *Moya* to escape, *Elack* agreed to give up on his dream of dying in the sacred burial space and crashed into the planet Arnessk -- smashing all but one of the Peacekeeper vessels on the planet's surface. This sacrifice allowed Crichton and his friends to flee Arnessk aboard *Moya*.

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 originally lost his virginity to, or the time travel incident was actually always a pre-destination paradox in the history of the Prime Reality and did not alter the course of events at all.

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.

Alien Visitation

"**Alien Visitation**" was a television program produced and aired on Earth in 2003 CE. It was hosted by an American named R. Wilson Monroe. The program interviewed and included footage of several of the aliens who came to Earth alongside John Crichton. This included Aeryn Sun, who had learned some English from children's programming in 1985 CE -- which she had reached through time travel. Most of these interactions with the aliens were prohibited from airing by the United States government, until some time in 2004 CE. At this point, the episodes were re-aired with the footage of extraterrestrials included.

The episodes were both hopeful and panicked in nature, through interviews with various experts including psychologists, sociologists, scientists, and even religious leaders. They also interviewed some people who had close contact with John Crichton and the aliens, including Bobby Coleman and Olivia Crichton. They also interviewed some who believed first contact had actually come years earlier -- including Robert Schelmacher, who had in fact been driven insane by the very same aliens during their time travel to the 1980's.

The show was not widely viewed, and those who watched them believed them to be fictional. The series had no lasting impact on the society of Earth.

The **Horta** were a species of sentient, non-humanoid life native to Janus VI. Unlike the majority of lifeforms in the Milky Way, the horta were silicon-based, rather than carbon-based. This made horta biosigns difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to detect. They were composed of a material similar in many ways to a fibrous asbestos. They were invulnerable to some types of energy weapons -- for instance, type 1 phasers could not harm a horta. Type 2 phasers could be adjusted so that they might have damaged a horta.

Horta fed on rocks, and therefore were nourished by the tunneling that they natural engaged in. Through the use of a corrosive acid, horta moved through solid ground with ease. This acid could also easily dissolve carbon-based beings. Humans exposed to the acid were dissolved so thoroughly that only fragments of bones and teeth remained.

Horta had an unusually long lifespan, and at the end of each life cycle all but one horta would perish. That horta -- the mother horta -- then watched the eggs until they hatched. Horta eggs appeared to be perfect spheres made of silicon. They were kept in the Vault of Tomorrow and could only be accessed through the Chamber of the Ages.

Horta eggs were encountered by other species before the horta themselves. A mining colony was established on Janus VI, and when the eggs were discovered in 3267 CE they were deemed useless silicon balls. The colony's automated equipment destroyed thousands of eggs. The mother horta responded by murdering miners and sabotaging the colony.

Ultimately, the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) was called in to investigate. With the help of Commander Spock, telepathic contact was made with the mother horta and an accord was reached between the horta and the miners. The horta helped the miners find particularly rich veins of minerals, and the miners otherwise left the horta alone.

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 with the nickname "**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.

Neil Armstrong

**Neil Armstrong** was a human astronaut born on August 5, 1930 CE in the United States of America, who made history by being the first human to step onto the surface of Luna on July 20, 1969 CE during the Apollo 11 mission. During his landing on the moon, he famously said *"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."* Although this was a major victory over the Soviet Union in the space race between the two nations, Armstrong was considered a hero worldwide for his accomplishment. He died on August 25, 2012 CE.

Centuries later, Armstrong's accomplishments would still be remembered. The first settlement on Luna would be named Armstrong Outpost in his honor -- it would eventually grow to be called Armstrong City. Lake Armstrong, also located on Luna, was also named in his memory. The Armstrong Nebula was also named after him. The USS *Armstrong*, a Starfleet vessel under the United Federation of Planets, would also be a part of his legacy.

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

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

Palaven

**Palaven** was the third world of the Trebia system, found in the Apien Crest region of the Alpha Quadrant. It was the homeworld of the turians. It was frequently described as being a silver world, and the metallic nature of it was not limited to its surface. Because the planet had a weak magnetic shield, the living creatures on it were forced to develop means to handle solar radiation. Most fauna on the planet had a metallic exoskeleton, while plant-life shut down metabolic processes during the day and repaired cellular damage each night. Less radiation-resistant species that visited the planet had to wear enviromental suits in order to protect themselves.

When the Reapers attacked the planet, they pulverized many of the cities and much of the land. The planet was rendered nearly uninhabitable -- the dust from ruined cities had made breathing hazardous, and there was precious little water left on the planet.

Gammak Base

A **Gammak Base** was a heavily fortified and highly classified Peacekeeper research installation. A notable one was located on a moon in the Uncharted Territories, outside of Peacekeeper jurisdiction. It was, at the time of its destruction, under the command of Commander Tollona Javio with its scientific research led by Scorpius.

The research at this facility led to the development of memory extraction technology, most notably the Aurora Chair. The primary focus of the scientific exploration of this facility, however, was focused on wormholes and developing technology around them.

The base was infiltrated by John Crichton and Chiana, in an effort to procure tissue samples that would help Aeryn Sun heal from injuries. Though Chiana succeeded in evading capture and escaped with the necessary tissue samples, Crichton was less fortunate. His energy signature was detected as being different from those of Sebaceans, and he was tortured by Bialar Crais and Scorpius. The crew of *Moya* managed to free Crichton and Stark -- and destroyed the Gammak Base in their efforts.

Over the course of the next two cycles, another Gammak Base was built in the Uncharted Territories.

Farscape-1

The ***Farscape-1*** module was a spacefaring vessel created by IASA. The module was designed specifically for use in the Farscape Project. The design was intended to allow the vessel to survive high acceleration from a gravitational slingshot maneuver.

While being piloted by John Crichton, the vessel was shot through a wormhole into the Delta Quadrant. In this area of space, the vessel was considered extremely primitive -- however, it was able to survive being piloted through wormholes whereas many other more advanced vessels were not. It was modified throughout Crichton's time in the Uncharted Territories -- including the addition of a second seat, as the craft was originally intended only to fit one individual inside. These modifications also allowed the module to use a variety of different fuels and gave *Farscape-1* the ability to reach speeds that human spacecrafts of the time were incapable of reaching. It also incorporated some of *Moya*'s biomechanical technology.

Coreeshi

The **Coreeshi** were a fairly mysterious race comprised mostly of bounty hunters. The actual appearance of Coreeshi was unknown, as they were grafted into biomechanically engineered exoskeletons that could not be removed from them except as an orange goo. It was theorized that Coreeshi were shapeless without the exoskeleton and that the orange goo was, in fact, their true form. The exoskeletons themselves were very powerful, able to withstand blasts from pulse weapons.

The Coreeshi developed shrinking technology well before any other species in the Delta Quadrant. Coreeshi bounty hunters used this technology to shrink their quarry and capture them in containers that could be held within their exoskeletons.

Peacekeepers sometimes employed Coreeshi bounty hunters.

Citadel Conventions

The **Citadel Conventions** were a set of laws that were drawn up after a series of diplomatic conferences following the Krogan Rebellion. Given the incredible destruction that the conflict resulted in, the Citadel sought a means of distancing themselves from it.

They created regulations regarding the use of weapons of mass destruction -- weapons that could cause environmental alterations to a planet.

## Regulations

The regulations forbade the use of weapons of mass destruction on "garden worlds" like Earth, where the ecosphere could readily support a large population. Weapons of mass destruction could be used on hostile worlds and on sealed environment space stations.

### Grades

The Conventions also separated weapons out into tiers, with Tier I being the greatest threat.

* **Tier I:** kinetic impactors -- such as asteroid drops or de-orbiting space stations.
* **Tier II:** self-replicating weapons -- such as nanotechnology or viral and bacterial organisms, computer viruses, and Von Neumann Devices.
* **Tier III:** large energy-burst weapons -- such as nuclear or antimatter weapons.
* **Tier IV:** the deliberate introduction of invasive alien species to an environment.

Landru (computer)

**Landru** was an advanced artificial intelligence built by, and named after, Landru -- leader of the Betans of Beta III. Landru was designed to lead the people of Beta III and had the processing power to manage the planetary population under a strict totalitarian dictatorship.

Most Betans were utterly unaware that they were ruled by a computer. Many believed the original Landru was still leading them, even thousands of cycles after the computer had taken control. As such, Landru was deified -- even by the planet's rebellious element of the population who sought to overthrow Landru's regime.

Landru was capable of projecting holographic images, but its most significant was what it called "absorption" -- the ability to control the attitude and behavior of individuals that it had "absorbed" through a form of telepathy. Those who had been "absorbed" were known as the Body and followed Landru's guidelines which were known as "Directives." The most heavily absorbed members of the body were the lawgivers, who could do only what Landru commanded and had no will of their own. Landru was also capable of firing heat beams at objects in orbit of the planet, including starships.

In 3167 CE, the USS *Archon* was destroyed at Beta III and the survivors of its crew absorbed. 100 cycles later, the USS *Enterprise* arrived in orbit of the planet to investigate the mysterious disappearance. Although Landru absorbed several members of the crew, ultimately Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock were able to escape with the help of Marplon. Though Landru threatened to kill them, Kirk confronted it with a paradox -- the truth that it was destroying the Body by reserving all creativity for itself, which led it to become the very evil it had been intended to protect against. Unable to process this, it shut down in a shower of sparks.

Sometime after 3328 CE, Landru was reactivated and reasserted control over the planet. Although the Betans were aware it was a computer, it had managed to persuade them to worship it anyways. Captain Carol Freeman and Commander Jack Ransom were sent to usurp its control, and did so by repeating the message Kirk had previously relayed, while Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler handed out creative supplies to the children of the planet.

Luxans

**Luxans** were a humanoid, warrior race originating from the Delta Quadrant, near the Uncharted Territories. Luxans were a cousin species of the Ilanics.

## Physiology

Luxans were characterized primarily by the eight tentacles -- called "tenkas" that extended from their heads. Luxan males had lengthy, pointed chins -- which were tattooed to denote military rank. Luxan males were also subject to a type of madness called "Hyper-Rage", which was a blinding rage that subsided only when they had killed someone or broken something or -- in rare instances -- subsided over an extended period of time without bloodshed.

Luxans had a superb sense of smell. Their blood, which was a reddish-black, was pumped through their bodies by two hearts. This allowed Luxans to survive in the vacuum of space for half an arn. Luxan wounds were prone to infection, however, and in order to avoid this their wounds needed to be forced to bleed until the color of the blood changed from black to clear.

Luxans had a prehensile tongue, able to grab objects from several feet away or deliver a venomous sting capable of stunning a grown man.

## Culture

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

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

Luxans mated through a ritual known as the Luxan Chase. This ritual, which involved the male courting the female, lasted roughly twelve arns.
