Ardana

**Ardana** was an inhabited planet in the Ardana system. Ardana had a plentiful bounty of zenite, and was the only planet that the United Federation of Planets knew mined the resource even as late as 3269 CE. It is perhaps for this reason that their application to join the Federation was rushed through, with the Federation never learning that Ardana still employed capital punishment and torture.

In truth, the Federation was primarily only aware of one social class in Ardanan society -- the intellectual city-dwellers who lived in the floating city of Stratos and had all of the wealth and power of the planet. Their society was built on a caste system full of conflict, however, as the laborer class -- the Troglytes -- worked tirelessly to mine the zenite that helped the people of Stratos maintain their lifestyle.

Much of this hidden information came to light when Captain James T. Kirk and the USS *Enterprise* visited the planet in 3269 CE to procure zenite to help with an emergency on the relatively nearby Merak II. Kirk managed to stop a Troglyte rebellion and obtain the resources he had been sent for. After this mission, the Federation Bureau of Industralization stepped in to help put an end to the abuses taking place on Ardana.

Alexander Rook

**Alexander Rook** was the President and CEO of Dwarf Star Technologies. He personally oversaw the Rebecca Project, which created Portia Linn -- or Rebecca, as he called her.

After her creation, Rook believed her to be perfect -- but kept her under lock and key so that she would not be discovered by the Galactic Authority. He advised her she would need to age in order to avoid suspicion.

As she reached adulthood escaped -- killing several people as she did. Rook came to believe she had a neural flaw that made her act out violently. He began working on a second, improved prototype -- or Rebecca 2.0.

When the crew of the *Raza* returned to Dwarf Star Technologies, Rook attempted to reclaim Portia Linn -- who he viewed as his property. When he failed, and she escaped, he reevaluated his position on her -- viewing her instead as a failure.

By the time Portia Linn's nanites began to fail, Rebecca 2.0 was ready and active. When the crew of the *Raza* traveled to Earth to get an upgraded version of her nanites, he ordered the new creation to kill his old creation. Rebecca 2.0 was defeated but Rook managed to escape.

It is unknown how involved Rook personally was in Dwarf Star Technologies' connection to the interdimensional creatures who would later attempt to invade the Milky Way.

Faye Valentine

**Faye Valentine** was a human woman who was injured in a space travel accident within the Sol system. She was awakened from cryostasis in 2468 CE, with no memory of her past. A con-artist known as Whitney Haggis Matsumoto stole her Identikit and, for a time, posed as her concerned mother.

Broke and desperate, as soon as Faye escaped her "mother" she took up work as a bounty hunter. This work led her to cross paths with Spike Spiegel and Jet Black and ultimately join the crew of the *Bebop* in 2471 CE. This alliance proved temporary, as Faye was able to reclaim her Identikit and departed to seek answers about her past.

Faye Valentine is derived from *Cowboy Bebop*.
Dispersal

**Dispersal** is a method of execution employed by the Plokavians against criminals. The victim of dispersal is placed in a chamber, and his or her molecules are separated. Energy beings, such as the Stykera of the Baniks, are capable of reconstituting themselves after dispersal. For purely corporeal beings, however, dispersal is always fatal.
Artificial Telepathy Transmitter

An **artificial telepathy transmitter** is a device used to emulate the thought projection abilities of some powerful telepaths. The device requires enormous power -- and the farther the psionic influence, the more power it requires. The device was developed on Auron, in an effort to extend the psychic capabilities of the Auronar.

Rebel sympathizers from Auron took the device from their home planet and gave it to Ven Glynd. Some time later, Glynd used the device to lure Roj Blake to Asteroid P-K118. Though the device was supposed to only lure Blake, he was rendered totally helpless by its signal -- and once Kerr Avon had destroyed the device, Blake had no recollection of anything that had happened since he had fallen under its influence.

Drak Monarchs

**Drak Monarchs** are the sentient beings that spawn swarms of Draks. They are capable of telepathic feats, such as temporarily controlling the minds of other beings in order to communicate outside of the swarm.

The crew of *Moya* temporarily played host to a drak monarch who was attempting to hatch eggs -- though this initially caused much discomfort for the crew, the Monarch was able to communicate with them and a compromise was reached. The Monarch even helped repel Peacekeepers from the vessel. After the genesis was complete, the Drak Monarch departed the vessel.

Icarion Company

The **Icarion Company** was a military company of Prowler pilots. In one of his first acts as a captain of the Peacekeepers, Bialar Crais transferred the Icarion Company to be under his command -- in order to better look after his brother.

One of the most notable units within the company was the Pleisar Regiment.

Hurlian Stones

**Hurlian stones** are valuable gem stones, often found in jewelry belonging to the wealthy elite of the Hynerian Empire. Rygel XVI was known to have one such stone set into a ring. Despite their value within the Hynerian Empire, they have little value outside their borders.

Rygel XVI once attempted to sell his hurlian stone ring for 35 barrels of iriscenant fluid, but he was only offered 20 barrels.

Beta Quadrant

The **Beta Quadrant**, or **Beta Region**, is an area of the Milky Way occupying the galactic southwest corner, sitting adjacent to the Alpha Quadrant and the Delta Quadrant.

The Beta Quadrant included some of the Inner Council Space while the Citadel Council still retained power. Much of the Protoss Empire was located within the Quadrant -- including their home planet of Aiur. The Koprulu Sector sits on the galactic edge of the Beta Quadrant. The zerg are also a prominent threat in this quadrant of the galaxy.

Other important governments located in this region of space include the Romulan Star Empire, which was located entirely within the Beta Quadrant, and the Klingon Empire which was mostly in the Beta Quadrant. Much of the territory under the jurisdiction of the United Federation of Planets was in the Beta Quadrant. Even after the fall of the Federation, the Terran Federation also held territory in the Beta Quadrant.

Millenia later, whilst mapping the galaxy, the Imperium of Man would break the galaxy up into separate parts. All of the Segmentum Tempestus was located in this quadrant, as well as parts of the Segmentum Solar, Segmentum Pacificus, and Ultima Segmentum.

The Beta Quadrant is derived from *Star Trek*.
Global Exodus Alliance

The **Global Exodus Alliance** (or **GEA**) was an organization formed to oversee the evacuation of Earth. To this end, they were ultimately given the power to govern the planet and replacing the World Economic Consortium as the primary political body of the planet. The GEA was primarily funded through combined efforts of China and the United States of America, allowing them to become the most powerful national entities.

The GEA's rule was brutal for the people of Earth, causing a steep decline in the population. They declared planet-wide martial law and maintained order with an iron fist. Ultimately, however, they were able to save a vast majority of the population -- leaving just over the 5% of the population projected to be able to survive on the planet.

Haloth

**Haloth** was an identity assumed by Maldis to lure Bialar Crais and John Crichton into a trap. Haloth appeared to be a mystical and eccentric old man. He promised Crichton that he would have an opportunity to mediate with Crais, but led Crais to believe that he was presenting Crichton to him as a gift.

After bringing the two of them together, Haloth revealed himself as Maldis. This form never appeared again.
Ghebb Dellos

**Ghebb Dellos** was the husband of Rylani Jeema Dellos. The couple were part of a group of Sebacean colonists enroute to Motak IV aboard a Leviathan biomechanoid when they were set upon by Scarrans. They made their escape aboard a transport pod, ultimately making it to Motak IV. They had not been there long when the Scarrans tracked the transport pod to the planet.

Ghebb attempted to defend his wife, but his pulse pistol was no match for the Scarrans, and he was ultimately murdered by Wolesh.
Grisoldians

The **Grisoldians** were a species that once battled the Luxans -- and even defeated them for a time. The Grisoldians murdered thousands of Luxan women and children, ultimately forcing the Luxan military into a retreat. However, the Luxans initiated a terrible revenge -- committing a terrible genocide against the Grisoldians, including their women and children.

The assault of the Luxans left the Grisoldians a battered species, and they have never truly recovered from this.

## Source

The Grisoldians are mentioned in *Farscape*.
Delta Quadrant

The **Delta Quadrant** is the common designation a quarter of the Milky Way galaxy. This quadrant is bordered by the Gamma Quadrant and the Beta Quadrant, and is farthest from the Alpha Quadrant. The Delta Quadrant is home to thousands of species, both humanoid and otherwise, many of which are far more advanced than many species in the rest of the galaxy.

Because of its position in the galaxy, the Delta Quadrant was largely unexplored by most of the larger political powers in the Milky Way's history, including the Citadel Council, the Dominion, the Terran Federation, and the Imperium of Man.

## History

The Voth established a reclusive civilization in the Delta Quadrant after departing the Earth millions of years before humans evolved.

In 200,000 BCE, a creature that would be called the "telepathic pitcher plant" was born in the Delta Quadrant. 100,000 cycles later, a subspace network was constructed within the Delta Quadrant.

A species, known to the people of Earth as "Sky Spirits", came from the Delta Quadrant to visit the humans of the Rubber Tree People. This was the true first contact between a Delta Quadrant species and Earth, although it would be regarded as nothing more than myth for thousands of cycles. A little more than 10,000 cycles later, the Eidelons abducted people from Earth and genetically engineered them into Sebaceans and Interions.

Eventually, the Darnaz Triangle was activated on Arnessk -- displacing the Eidelons and leaving the Sebacean Peacekeepers to try to maintain a fragile peace in their region of the Delta Quadrant. By 100 CE, the territory of the Peacekeepers had shrunk dramatically and the Uncharted Territories now took up a great deal of space in the region. A group of Sebaceans founded the Breakaway Colonies in those territories.

By the turn of 11th century, the Luxans and Ilanics had become close allies. It was also about this time that the Charrids attempted to invade the Hynerian Empire -- killing over a billion Hynerians and devouring millions of their young.

The Phage ravages the Vidiian Sodality, leaving them clinging to survival through organ piracy and slave labor.

Eidelon Fighters

**Eidelon fighters** are small, one-man aircrafts used by the Eidelons of Qujaga to protect their hidden city. They were equipped with crystallization weapons, non-lethal armaments that neutralized any foes that might reach their world.

One of these crafts deployed its weapon against Aeryn Sun and John Crichton when *Moya* had landed in the waters of Qujaga.

These crafts were unprepared, however, for a full-scale invasion. Despite the efforts of pilots of these crafts, the Battle of Qujaga still devastated the Eidelons on the planet. After the Eidelons were relocated to Delvia, use of these crafts continued.

Halos-1

The ***Halos-1*** was a Halosian warship, under the command of Tak it launched an attack on the Leviathan biomechanoids *Talyn* and *Moya*. Over the course of conflict, Tak was killed and Yoz took command of the ship.

## Weaponry

The primary weapon of *Halos-1* was an energy weapon. Its power was not comparable to the strength of Peacekeeper weapons, but it was able to do considerable damage to less well-equipped vessels.

In a freak accident with the crew of *Moya*, it was discovered that if the blast from the weapon hit a Leviathan biomechanoid with a defense screen raised to 62% precisely, the minds of the crew members would switch bodies. Because of the incredibly precise requirements of this event, it has only occurred during the conflict with *Moya*'s crew.

DRD "1812"

"**1812"** was a Diagnostic Repair Droid created by the Leviathan *Elack*. While John Crichton was aboard the Leviathan, taught it to whistle and chirp the "1812 Overture" -- after which, he painted it.

After *Elack*'s sacrifice on the planet Arnessk, "1812" was the sole remaining component of the vessel. Crichton brought the DRD onto *Moya*, where it continued to act as a faithful companion to the human.

"1812"'s unique origins proved useful on occasion -- for instance, when Coreeshi bounty hunters deactivated all of *Moya*'s DRDs, "1812" remained active.

## Source

DRD "1812" is a character featured in the fourth season of *Farscape*.
Darnaz Triangle

The **Darnaz Triangle** was a weapon used on the Eidelons of Arnessk by unknown entities.

The weapon took the form of a probe which could be fired at a planet. Upon entering the atmosphere, it broke into three separate probes that buried themselves into the planet's surface 600 motras apart. The probes cause harsh magentic shifts, destroying most of the complex life on a planet and rendering even Class M planets largely uninhabitable. The weapon was not well understood and had only been used successfully once -- on Arnessk.

On Arnessk, for reasons remaining unclear but likely due to the potent psionic abilities of the Eidelons, the triangle had actually frozen the entire Eidelon civilization in temporal-magnetic stasis. This stasis was reversed when the crew of *Moya* recombined the three probes.

## Source

The Darnaz Triangle was featured in episodes of *Farscape*.
34Tauri(2320)

The **34Tauri(2320)** star cluster was a cluster of five stars around which orbited seven protostars, seven gas giants, three separate asteroid belts, and 75 terrestrial planets. Between the terrestrial and gas planets, there were 149 moons. All of this, and four of the stars, orbit around the central White Sun.

## History

Colonists from Earth settled the star cluster after the planet became virtually uninhabitable. They colloquially referred to the cluster as "**the 'Verse**" -- a short form of "the Universe." Each world was given an Anglo (English) name and a Sino (Chinese) name, though many worlds opted to only officially use one.

After each world and moon was terraformed and colonists had begun living on every planet and moon of the star cluster, it did not take long for war to break out. The Unification War brought the entire star cluster under the rule of the Union of Allied Planets.

C-26

***C-26*** was the designation of a modified Mark I Pursuit Ship used by Servalan. The vessel had a safe maximum speed of Time Distort 9 but the engines could be pushed to Time Distort 10.

Servalan is known to have traveled in this ship away from Goth, as well as to travel between Space Command HQ and Exbar.
Crew of Moya

These were, at various points in history, the members of *Moya*'s crew after she broke free of Peacekeeper control. For most of the journey, the crew of *Moya* held no real hierarchy had no real commanding officer -- partially because the roster changed with relative frequency. Eventually, however, the living vessel grew tired of the bickering between crew members and demanded that a captain be elected to communicate with her and her Pilot. At this point, the crew elected Ka D'Argo as their leader.

Aside from the listed crew members, *Moya* was also crewed by a number of DRDs that remained nameless.

Commerce Planets

**Commerce Planets** are, essentially, large bazaars that take up the entirety of a planet. These planets are often rather small and, though inhabited, may not have any indigenous civilizations living on them. Commerce planets are not especially common, although two of them can be found in the Uncharted Territories. The first planet visted by John Crichton after arriving in that region of the Delta Quadrant was, in fact, a commerce planet.

Golana

**Golana** was a Class M planet in the Alpha Quadrant, once inhabited by a sapient species that had died out around Earth's 14th century. The planet was orbited by two natural satellites. Around the year 3299 CE, the Bajorans built a colony on the planet. The planet was of particular interest to members of the Bajoran Archaeological Institute.

The planet was home to some unique vegetation, including the native Golana melon.

In 3372 CE, Miles O'Brien and his wife Keiko brought their daughter Molly to the planet. During this visit they discovered an active temporal portal in some of the ruins on the planet's surface. After their experience with the portal, access to it became heavily restricted by the United Federation of Planets.

Froy

Nurse **Froy** was an attendant of Scorpius' and -- unlike most of those who served him -- she was truly concerned about his wellbeing. Nurse Froy helped Scorpius to explore the neuro biotracer chip that had been planted into John Crichton, despite her misgivings about the procedure.

When Scorpius began to exhibit signs of obvious distress, Lieutenant Miklo Braca insisted that Froy continue the procedure. When she began to intervene, Braca knocked her unconscious. Afterwards, Scorpius condemned her actions.
Defense Screens

**Defense screens** were a defensive technology used by Peacekeepers. When activated, they surrounded ships with a red energy field in an oval-shaped bubble which was capable of protecting anything inside of it from kinetic or energy attacks. Defense screens could also protect vessels from gravitational pulls.

Defense screens are, however, highly imperfect. They take time to power up to full capacity, and at less than full capacity damage may be taken -- or other strange side effects may occur. While *Moya*'s defense screen was at 62%, a Halosian attack caused the crew members to switch bodies. For this reason, vessels that had the energy capacity to keep their defense screens activated all of the time typically did so. Defense screens also contained a number of holes in the energy field, which left ships inside vulnerable. Most of these holes could be filled by having two defense screens active.

Though command carriers were always equipped with two defense screens, always activated. Few other vessels had the capabilities of doing so. The crew of *Moya* took a defense screen from the wreckage of the *Zelbinion* but the energy reserves of a Leviathan biomechanoid did not permit them to keep the defense screen active at all times.

Defense screens remained in use by the Peacekeepers for many cycles, although the technology was much improved by the time the United Federation of Planets made contact. At this point, the Peacekeepers engaged in technological trades with the Federation and began to develop similar shield technologies. Defense screens fell out of use.

## Source

Defense screens are seen in *Farscape*. For canon information, please visit the Farscape Encyclopedia Project.
Fento (Plokavian)

*You may be looking for Fento the Mintakan*.

**Fento** was a Plokavian judge who, alongside Gahv, tried several members of the crew of *Moya* for the destruction of a Plokavian freighter -- an action that was, truthfully, *Talyn*'s doing. Fento believed that each member of the crew was lying, as their stories differed from each other.

When Fento sentenced all of those on trial to death, Stark confessed -- despite being innocent. Fento dispersed Stark's molecules and agreed to release the others.
Convergence Event

A **Convergence Event**, sometimes simply called a **Convergence**, was the final process of the effect that Black and Red Markers would have upon the sentient organic lifeforms of a given planet.

Once a large enough amount of organic lifeforms had been infected with the Necromorph pathogen, the Red Marker would trigger the beginning of the Event. The Marker would flash brightly and emit a sound like a fog-horn, and then produce powerful winds which would lift the Necromorphs into the air above the Marker. The necrotic tissue would begin joining together to begin forming a Brethren Moon. Rock from the planet would also be lifted by the Marker's winds, forming a hard protective shell around the moon.

The Convergence Event would eradicate all life on the planet below. Once the event had begun, it could only be stopped through the total destruction of the Marker that initiated the event or by destroying the Brethren Moon before it was fully formed.

## Source

Convergence Events are derived from *Dead Space*.
Altas

The **Altas** were a humanoid race of beings that existed solely to serve the System -- a machine that made all decisions for the Altas. The Altas themselves had been augmented with technology that allowed them to psychically engage with the System simply by touching the appropriate pieces of technology. These augmentations, however, meant they were incapable of surviving without the aid of life support technology. The Altas possessed some of the most advanced technology in the Milky Way during the reign of the Terran Federation, and had managed to avoid subjugation by the galactic power primarily through their own xenophobia.

The Altas were responsible for the construction of the *Liberator*, and made efforts to reclaim it from Roj Blake. These efforts were thwarted and, in their attempts, Alta-Two was killed by Norm-1. Alta-One's failure was likely met with severe punishment from the System.

## Notable Altas

* Alta-One
* Alta-Two
Diagnosans

**Diagnosans** were a species from the Uncharted Territories with a natural ability detect and treat a variety of ailments in all species -- including non-humanoid species such as Leviathan biomechanoids. Because of these abilities, many of them became doctors and physicians and their services were highly sought after. Some diagnosans earned renown by inventing medical technology, such as cryogenic tubes and coolant suits. All diagnosans were gentle, soft-spoken creatures.

The language of Diagnosans was incredibly complex, matching the complexity of their brains. Because of this, translator microbes were incapable of translating it and it took over two cycles of careful study for it to be understood until it was eventually programmed into the Federation's universal translator technology.

Ironically, diagnosans were extremely vulnerable to infection within their own bodies. In order to prevent coming into contact with contagions, diagnosans typically wore masks over their faces whenever possible. They would remove these masks only within a sterile environment, usually while performing surgery in a sterilizing force field. They would need to put their masks back on before exiting or turning off the force field, as even the slightest trace of a disease could prove fatal for them.
Crystherium Utilia

The **Crystherium Utilia** was the Scarran name for the flower **Strelitzia**, or **birds of paradise** **flowers**, was a type of plant found on planets across the Milky Way, including Earth. It was considered a delicacy by the Scarran Empire, which only the Ruling Caste were permitted to eat. The plants exponentially increased the intelligence of Scarrans who devoured them, allowing the Scarrans to be as intelligent as other advanced species -- such as Sebaceans.

The flowers can only be grown in very specific conditions, which few worlds in the Scarran Empire can accomodate. The places where crops of these flowers can be grown are centers of operation for the Scarran Hierarchy.

Katratzi contained an area that had been artificially created to grow crops of Crystherium Utilia -- one reason the station was so valuable to the empire. John Crichton also piqued the Scarran interest in Earth, by accidentally revealing that the flowers grew in abundance on the planet. When Katratzi was destroyed, the Scarrans attempted to reach Earth to replace their lost crop -- it was only through the efforts of Aeryn Sun and *Moya*'s Pilot that the wormhole to Earth was destroyed and a Scarran invasion was prevented.

## Source

The Crystherium Utilia was seen in episodes of *Farscape*, but is a flower in the real world.
Aceton assimilators

**Aceton assimilators** were a type of generator, primitive by 34th century technology, that could drain power from distant sources. With some modification, they could be used to convert this energy into radiation. This technology in particular was used by the Menthar during the Promellian-Menthar War as traps for starships. Well over a hundred thousand of these traps were placed around the planet Orelious IX.

The Promellian battle cruiser the *Cleponji* was trapped by one of these Aceton assimilators for over one thousand cycles. In 3366 CE, the USS *Enterprise*-D was also caught in an Aceton assimilator and -- after the crew freed their ship -- destroyed the *Cleponji*.

Cryostasis

**Cryostasis**, short for **cryogenic stasis**, is a common medical practice in many cultures through the Milky Way. Cryostasis allows a biological entity to be completely frozen until they are awakened from their stasis. This is often employed when diseases cannot yet be cured but may be cured in the future, or when organs need to be preserved for transplants.

The earliest known record of cryostasis is that of the Necrons. Following the War in Heaven, the Necrons -- as a race -- all entered cryostasis in their massive Tomb Worlds. This was called the Great Sleep.

Diagnosans of the Uncharted Territories widely used cryostasis, employing special cryogenic tubes to hold their frozen patients. Aeryn Sun was briefly frozen inside one after her apparent death. Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis and two of her cousins were also frozen in such tubes after her cousins contracted a fatal illness.

Throughout Earth's history, cryostasis was popular for the wealthy. Sometimes, the frozen patients would be kept aboard cryonics satellites. Most often, humans who entered cryostasis ultimately were never unfrozen. One such satellite -- the SS *Birdseye* was eventually discovered by the USS *Enterprise*-D and three of five of the patients were able to revived: L.Q. "Sonny" Clemonds, Ralph Offenhouse, and Clare Raymond.

As humans ventured further and further into space, they began to use cryostasis as a means of keeping passengers alive. Cryostasis was used to preserve those traveling aboard the *Unity*, and the crew of the *Raza* were in cryostasis when their memories were wiped out -- effectively changing the course of the galaxy.

Furthermore, following the Eugenics War, the surviving Augments following Khan Noonien Singh were placed in cryostasis aboard the SS *Botany Bay* and shipped into space. This ship would later be rediscovered by the USS *Enterprise*.

Delvia

**Delvia** is the homeworld of the Delvian species. It is located in the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way, somewhere within or near Peacekeeper Space. The planet is thick with vegetation and plant life -- indeed, even its sentient life is flora rather than fauna. Medicinal herbs and plants are abundant on the planet, and as such medical science is quite advanced.

The **heat ray** is a weapon invented by the Kalish and installed in the bioloids built by the Kalish Resistance. The weapon fires radiation primarily designed to lethally disrupt the Scarran heat producing gland. The heat can be used for other purposes, however, such as lighting fires, igniting flammable gas, and melting the metals used in Scarran control panels.
Edmund Johnston

Dr. **Edmund Johnston** was a professor of cognitive behaviorism at Stanford University on Earth at the beginning of the 21st century. He was interviewed for the television program "Alien Visitation". After watching footage of Chiana in a public restroom, he surmised that -- given her alien perspective -- her behavior proved well thought out and consistent.

Dark Time

The **Dark Time** was a ten cycle period of Klingon history that followed the assassination of Emperor Reclaw and the end of the Empire's Second Dynasty in the 26th century. During this period, the Empire was ruled by a council of representatives elected by the general population. Several notable reforms were enacted during this period, but this experiment with democracy ended with the rise of the Third Dynasty.

The Dark Time is derived from *Star Trek*.
Exo III

**Exo III** is the third planet of the Exo system, once home to a species that went extinct after their star dimmed and was no longer able to provide heat for the world. Prior to the decline of their star, Exo III bore great similarity to the planet Earth, with even a similar level of gravity.

## History

Exo III was home to a peaceful but free society. When their star began to dim, the inhabitants of the planets relocated underground. Their society shifted to become an incredibly mechanistic one. They created highly advanced androids to serve them.

The society of Exo III eventually came to fear their creations. They began to turn them off. In self-defense, the androids revolted and killed all of their creators -- who they came to call the "Old Ones" (though this should not be confused with the actual Old Ones). Thousands of years passed, and eventually, only one android remained -- Ruk -- though he maintained all of the machines on the planet himself.

In 3261 CE, a medical archaeologist from the United Federation of Planets led an expedition to the planet. That archaeologist was Dr. Roger Korby. He was accompanied by his assistant, Dr. Brown. The expedition was ill-fated and all members of the expedition perished -- though not before Korby discovered an android duplicator with which he was able to create replications of himself and Dr. Brown to continue their work.

When the UFP lost contact with Korby, they sent ships out to learn the fate of his expedition. The first two efforts failed to find any sign of the missing expedition. The third attempt, a mission given to the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701), located Dr. Korby and Dr. Brown deep within the tunnels of the planet. Korby -- or rather, his android duplicate -- attempted to convince Captain James T. Kirk that android duplicates should be used to secretly replace certain people within the Federation. The android duplicate of Korby was convinced that, eventually, everyone would want to be given an android duplicate so that they could live forever.

Kirk and Christine Chapel were not convinced as the androids were incapable of feeling genuine emotions or experiencing remorse. In the ensuing conflicts, all of the androids on Exo III were destroyed.
Cyntrina

**Cyntrina** was a Sebacean child on the world that would become the Jocacean Memorial Planet. She and her mother, Kelsa, lived in a peaceful settlement of nurses and children that wound up being besieged by the Venek Horde. Peacekeepers were called in to defend the monastery.

In the midst of the conflict John Crichton, Ka D'Argo, Aeryn Sun, Stark, and Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis appeared from the future. Though frightened, Cyntrina befriended D'Argo. He managed to comfort her, and encouraged her to carve a marking somewhere in the settlement, to ensure that she would never be forgotten. When the time traveling group vanished back to their own time, the Veneks slaughtered the entire Sebacean settlement searching for them -- including Cyntrina.

D'Argo discovered her marking in the present time, keeping the memory of her alive.

## Alternate Timeline

In the original timeline that existed before the intervention of time travel, the Venek Horde negotiated peace with the settlement and Cyntrina likely survived for many cycles afterwards.

Cyntrina appears in an episode of *Farscape*.
Drexim

**Drexim** is a hormone in Leviathan biomechanoids, which acts similarly to adrenaline in humans. It controls the ship's flight-or-flight response.

In *Talyn*, a hybrid gunship, this hormone was notably unbalanced. Once when *Talyn* was injured, drexim flooded the passenger areas and created very unusual behavior from those aboard the ship. Aeryn Sun and John Crichton both had an out of control craving for sexual encounters with each other, Rygel XVI became insatiably hungry, Bialar Crais became paranoid and violent, and Stark became obsessed with saving the soul of a nearly dead woman.
DRD "Pike"

**DRD "Pike"** -- as named by John Crichton -- was one of *Moya*'s Diagnostic Repair Droids. Though the DRD did not have any particular characteristics to separate it from the other droids, it proved invaluable to the crew. When Pilot was possessed by the energy rider Tallip, Pike allowed the crew to communicate with *Moya* by blinking the lights at the end of its eye stalks. During this period, it seemed to develop a distinctive personality -- though this was likely the personality of *Moya* and not any actual characteristic of the droid itself.

When the crew managed to expel Tallip from the ship, through use of the Starburst chamber, DRD "Pike" was accidentally left behind in the chamber. As a result, DRD "Pike" was destroyed.

DRD "Pike" is seen in an episode of *Farscape*.
Coolant Suits

**Coolant suits** were a piece of advanced technology originally created by Diagnosan Tocot for Scorpius. They were improved upon by Peacekeepers, in order to help Sebaceans suffering from heat delirium.

Despite the advancements in coolant suits, Scorpius' design -- the prototype -- is still a unique example, made to accomodate his hybrid physiology. In the case of Scorpius' suit, coolant rods are actually inserted directly into his brain. In other cases, the coolant rods which regulate the temperature of the suit are affixed to the outside of the suit where they can be quickly and easily replaced.
Iconians

The **Iconians** were an incredibly advanced species that existed around 200,000 BCE. That year is the estimated time that life on their homeworld of Iconia was wiped out by an orbital bombardment. Although researchers have never fully proved it -- many believe this was the work of Reapers.

Ancient texts refer to the Iconians as "demons of air and darkness" -- citing their ability to instantly appear on planets across the Milky Way without the use of a spaceship. In truth, this ability was a feat of technology -- Iconian gateways. This technology had allowed the Iconians to establish outposts throughout the entire Milky Way, extending from the Beta Quadrant all the way to Vandros IV in the Gamma Quadrant. The Iconians were known to be a race of conquerors, and had likely established a great galactic empire.

It is unlikely that all of the Iconians perished in the attack on Iconia, particularly with the use of gateways at their disposal. Several languages of other sapient species bore many similarities to the Iconians, including those of Dewan, Dinasian, and Iccobar.

Until Iconia itself was discovered in 3365 CE, many scholars believed the Iconians to be a myth.

Ganyemede Incident

The **Ganymede Incident** was a military clash between UN and MCRN marines on, and over, the Jovian moon of Ganymede.

Unbeknownst to either side, Protogen was testing a new experimental weapon by unleashing their protomolecule-human hybrid on the surface of the moon. The creature was released on the United Nations side of the border, where it attacked a group of UNMC troops. They fled from the unexpected encounter, hoping to find aid from the nearest people to their location: the MCRN marines patrolling the Martian side of the border.

These marines were led by Gunnery Sergeant Roberta "Bobbie" Draper, with explicit orders not to let anyone or anything cross the border. With communications down due to Protogen jamming technology, the Martians believed they were being rushed by UNN Marines intent on combat and opened fire. The opening of these hostilities led the battle-ready ships in orbit to begin firing on one another as well. Some of the vital orbital mirrors, used for focusing sunlight on Ganymede's agricultural domes, were caught in the crossfire. Debris crashed down to the moon, increasing the casualties among the fighting forces as well as the civilians on the ground.

As the debris came crashing down around them, the Martian marines found themselves in conflict with the creatures that had attacked the UN forces. Ultimately, there would be only one survivor of the battle on the ground: Sergeant Draper.

This event ignited the UN-MCR Cold War into a fully-fledged military conflict.

Bruidians

**Bruidians** are a humanoid species native to the planet Lopovius. They have long brown hair that grows from the top of their heads, but are otherwise hairless. They have protrusions from the center of their chins and elongated craniums that make them taller than many other humanoid species. Their skin is a light purple, with a rough texture. Bruidians are known for being angry and passionate -- like Tellarites, Bruidians love to argue.

Bruidians had a long conflict with the Navarians with whom they shared their planet. This conflict ultimately came to an end in 3419 CE, when Federation archaeologist Darulio was able to prove that the Navarians and Bruidians shared a common ancestor and that both were native to their planet.

Bruidians are derived from *The Orville*.
Derrick Andrews

**Derrick Andrews** ("**Taxman**") was a human member of the Resistance against the World Economic Consortium on Earth. He was born in 2358 CE, and held a career as an associate accountant in the Administrative Cartel's Revenue Assessment Division. However, after witnessing the WEC's response to the El Paso Tax Insurrection, Andrews underwent a moral crisis and defected to the Resistance.

Inititially, Andrews worked as an informer and double agent for the Resistance. However, in 2392 CE, Andrews was forced to go underground. Shannon Brooks gave him a lucky rabbit's foot on his first day of training, saying he could use all the luck he could get. Although he lacked combat experience, was often nervous during combat missions, and was mistrusted by many of his fellow Resistance members, Andrews was an invaluable asset to the Resistance and participated in several operations conducted out of Echo Base. During one mission, Andrews dragged an injured Nicholas Cardova to the extraction point.

Andrews helped with the insertion of the Captain into a prison facility -- however, the Captain was only able to rescue Jo Ann Vargas from the prison. Despite this failure, Andrews was quick to trust the Captain, feeling they were kindred spirits. Several missions later, Andrews was ambushed while disabling a forcefield that blocked the Captain's progress. Andrews was killed in action, but successfully took down the forcefield.

Elkar Tyno

Councilor **Elkar Tyno** was, initially, a high-ranking member of the royal court in the hierarchy of the Breakaway Colonies. He had authority to allow or forbid spacefaring vessels passage to the planet during coronation proceedings, and handled many other practical affairs on behalf of the empress of the Royal Planet.

Tyno inititally refused the crew of *Moya* from venturing onto the planet, though he changed his verdict upon learning that Rygel XVI was the former Dominar of the Hynerian Empire. It was this decision that irrevocably changed the fate of the Breakaway Colonies, and of Tyno himself. Tyno and Princess Katralla were in love, though they were not genetically compatible. The discovery that she was genetically compatible with John Crichton was a startling discovery for both of them, though Tyno was willing to put aside his feelings for his duty.

Tyno put Crichton under guard immediately, though this security measure was not enough to protect John from the machinations of Prince Clavor. After Crichton foiled an attempt on his own life, Crichton confronted Clavor -- Tyno attempted to intervene but there was little he could do for either party.

Crichton was turned into a statue and subsequently went missing. Shortly afterwards, the Scarran Cargn killed Clavor -- and the crew of *Moya* was blamed. Empress Novia ordered the entire crew executed and left it to Tyno to notify them of their impending death. However, Crichton's timely return altered their fate.

Because Crichton was not eager to return to life as a statue for the next 80 cycles, and Katralla was already pregnant with his child, Tyno took Crichton's place as a statue and observed everything that occurred in the court of the Royal Planet for the next 80 cycles before being reconstituted into flesh and taking his place as Empress Katralla's Regent.
