Mu Relay

The **Mu Relay** was one of the mass relays that were part of the mass relay network originally constructed by the Reapers. Around the year 1,000 BCE the relay was lost, pushed out of its proper orbit by a star that went supernova. The relay wasn't damaged, but was covered in hot gas and dust. As such the relay became invisible to scans.

The relay connected to several relays but was the only means of reaching the Pangaea Expanse -- and therefore the Prothean colony of Ilos.

The nebula in which the relay was located was in a territory of space that would come to be held by the rachni. Fiercely territorial, the rachni intended to cut off all means of entering their space. They did eventually discover the location of the relay. When the krogan helped to eradicate most of the rachni species, the knowledge of this relay was lost until the resurrection of the Rachni Queen by Binary Helix. She held the knowledge in her genetic memory -- and it was because of this that the information was able to be given to Commander Shepard.

Liberated Borg

**Liberated Borg** were members of the Borg Collective who had been removed from the Collective, often though not always having a large number of their cybernetic implants removed. Although they had originally been members of a wide variety of species, they found themselves often discriminated against by their former people and recovering from a collectively experienced trauma -- as such, many liberated Borg considered themselves part of a new race and began building their own culture.

The first liberated Borg was Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard, who was only briefly a member of the Collective. Liberated Borg remained rare after this for many years. Eventually, however, there came to be two groups of liberated Borg accidentally created in the Delta Quadrant -- the Borg Cooperative, founded in the Nekrit Expanse, and the Borg reisistance movement known as Unimatrix Zero. It was not until the Artifact was disabled in the Beta Quadrant that liberated Borg became truly numerous, as they were intentionally being created aboard the disabled cube. The Borg removed from the Collective aboard the Artifact were commonly referred to as **ex-Borg** or **xBs**. The surgical techniques used to create xBs from the Artifact left them with numerous visible scars and disfigurements, making them even more feared than other liberated Borg.

Breakaway Colonies

The **Breakaway Colonies** were a small Sebacean empire located in the Uncharted Territories of the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way. They broke off from the Peacekeepers circa the year 100 CE and established a monarchy, resisting all attempts made by the Peacekeepers to reconcile. Their location in the Uncharted Territories made them vulnerable to both the Peacekeepers and the Scarran Empire, and as such the monarchy was constantly trying to appease both factions while remaining independent.

The seat of the monarchy's power was based on the Royal Planet, where the Empress and her Regent rule from. Succession was determined by the ability to create healthy offspring, as determined by the genetics of the royal couple. When this was established, the royal couple were wed and then frozen as conscious statues for 80 cycles where they would watch, and learn from, the political machinations of their empire.

Laika

**Laika** was a stray dog on the streets of Moscow, though she would become the first animal to orbit the Earth. The Soviet Union's space program took her in to be a passenger aboard *Sputnik 2*, to examine the effects of low gravity and increased radiation on an animal. She was never expected to survive the experiment.

After the launch, Laika died within hours from overheating due to a technical malfunction. The Soviet Union would go on to claim, however, that she was euthanized shortly before her oxygen supply ran out one week into the flight. Her treatment caused an uproar among animal rights activists, and in scientific and political circles.

A statue, and a plaque, commemorating her contribution to science was built at the Russian Cosmonaut training facility.

Neural clones

**Neural clones** were a creation of neuro biotracer chips -- they were duplicates of the chip's creator that existed only in the mind of the person who had the chip implanted in their brain. Neural clones often appeared as hallucinations but could also exert mental control over the person whose brain they exist within.

John Crichton had a neural clone of Scorpius exist within his mind after having one such chip implanted in his brain. Crichton named the clone "Harvey."

Deneans

**Deneans** were a humanoid species from Denea, a planet in the Uncharted Territories. Physiologically, they shared a great deal with humans although they had a wider jaw, and their ears were entirely different in shape.

In terms of their technological development, they were only slightly behind humans. When Earth's 20th century was coming to a close, Deneans were using wood to construct buildings and fossil fuels to power their vehicles. At the time, Deneans were fiercely xenophobic although at least one military organization funded research into extraterrestrials. At the time, they held no space flight capabilities however they were working towards such technology.

Kaminar

**Kaminar** was a ringed class M planet, one of six planets in the Kaminar system. Kaminar was unusual in that, rather than a food chain, the species chain was binary -- creatures were either predators or prey. As such, two sapient species had developed -- the Kelpiens and the Ba'ul. The planet abounded with non-sapient fauna, including some flying species, as well as a diverse array of flora including aquatic plants, and flowers such as fredalias.

## History

Circa 960 CE, the planet was sparsely populated and the population was divided into three groups -- the Ba'ul, the pre-*vahar'ai* Kelpiens, and the post-*vahar'ai* Kelpiens. The post-*vahar'ai* Kelpiens were the primary predators of the planet, and within eighty cycles the pre-*vahar'ai* Kelpiens and the Ba'ul were both nearly extinct. Then, a sudden and unexplained shift occurred -- the Ba'ul population rebounded, the post-*vahar'ai* Kelpiens died out.

As the pre-*vahar'ai* population of Kelpiens began to rebound as well. Their numbers were fewer than the Ba'ul. In order to maintain their dominance, the Ba'ul -- significantly more technologically advanced than the Kelpiens -- manipulated the Kelpiens into worshipping them. They required the Kelpiens to ritualistically sacrifice themselves -- primarily as a means to keep them from undergoing *vahar'ai*.

Adrexan vapor

**Adrexan vapor** was a highly combustible gas, which had the appearance of a white fog. Adrexan vapor was kept in high pressure containers, isolated from any sources of combustion and kept at extremely cold temperatures. When it was released from these special containers, it could be absorbed into both metals and biological materials. Once ignited, it burned at extremely high temperatures -- enough to severely damage Leviathan biomechanoids and to destroy Karack metalites.

Some talented chemists were capable of creating adrexan vapor. Zotoh Zhaan created the substance in order to destroy Karack metalites that had infested *Moya*.

Cloaking device

**Cloaking devices** were any kind of technology used to hide something -- typically a starship -- from detection. While some cloaking devices only prevented detection by sensors, more advanced cloaking devices could bend light and render an object invisible.

One of the most powerful cloaking devices in recorded history was that used by the Aldeans to hide their entire planet. The technology was used by various other species -- most notably the Romulans, although the Suliban and the Klingons also came to possess this technology.

Although humans had begun experimenting with some cloaking technology, even as early as the SSV *Normandy* SR-1, they -- and the rest of the United Federation of Planets -- eventually agreed not to develop or use cloaking technology as part of the Treaty of Algeron. This ban was somewhat lifted, with permission from the Romulan Star Empire, as hostilities with the Dominion escalated towards war -- Romulans installed one of their cloaking devices aboard the USS *Defiant*.

Cabal

The **Cabal** was an organization dedicated to eradicating Chaos in the Milky Way. Thousands of species had operatives that were members of the Cabal and they claimed to have been battling the forces of Chaos since before humans evolved on Earth. They worked in secret, covertly working to predict and guide the future of all sapient species in the galaxy.

The first being from Earth known to be recruited by the Cabal was the Perpetual named Damon Prytanis. They would later involve themselves in the Horus Heresy. After this, the Cabal decided to forsake mankind to Chaos, allowing them to become extinct. The Aeldari saw this as, essentially, a useless ritual sacrifice that would not help defeat Chaos and declared the Cabal to be their enemies. By the 32nd millennium, the agents of Farseer Eldrad Ulthran had destroyed the entire Cabal.

C'Tan

The **C'tan**, also known as the **Star Gods** and the **Yngir** (by the Aeldari Lexicon) were believed to be among, if not the, oldest intelligent entities in the universe, or at least the Milky Way -- said to be spawned from the swirling gases that formed the galaxy. In their natural state, C'tan were little more than swirling gas themselves, which they spread out across the surface of stars in order to feed on the solar energy. When the host star died, the C'tan learned to travel on barely corporeal wings to other stars. The C'tan could also absorb the energy from organic beings, although this energy was generally so insignificant to them as to have no impact on their unquenchable hunger. Despite this, it was far more appetizing to the C'tan, and so they sought to devour the energy of huge numbers of organic beings.

The C'tan were only able to interact with the physical world of the Prime Reality due to the robotic technology of the Necrontyr. Using the living metal called necrodermis, the C'tan were able to transfer their minds into physical forms. The C'tan manipulated the Necrontyr into serving them, using their hatred of the Old Ones to coerce them into helping the C'tan find organic beings to devour. As part of this manipulation, the C'tan transferred the consciousnesses of Necrontyr into necrodermis husks -- however, this process transformed them into the soulless Necrons.

The C'tan despised the psychic energies of the Warp, and had their Necron servants construct a series of Cadian Pylons in order to close the Warp off from the rest of the galaxy. This, however, would have stripped the living beings of the galaxy of their souls and left them defenseless against the C'tan. This process was interrupted by the War in Heaven, which was followed swiftly by the Necron Rebellion led by the Silent King Szarekh. The rebellion was successful, and the C'tan who survived were broken into pieces, called C'tan Shards and captured within Tesseract Labyrinths.

These shards became the greatest weapon available to the Necrons during their Great Awakening in the middle of the 41st Millenium.

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 rhythmically, like a heartbeat, and increased as the entity gained strength. The entity was capable of possessing both mechanical and biological structures and taking complete 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 sacrificed 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 cycles.

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.

Botany Asteroid

The **Botany Asteroid** is a small asteroid located in an asteroid field in the Uncharted Territories, in the vicinity of Scorpius' former Gammak Base location.

The asteroid had been initially settled by a group of botanists who had seeded the asteroid in efforts to terraform it. Their scientific endeavors were successful, and they continued studying flora on the asteroid for three hundred cycles. At a certain point, however, they brought a species of sentient, calcivorous plants to the asteroid in order to eradicate herbivorous lifeforms that endangered their experiments. This proved to be too successful, as the species ultimately ran out of prey. All but one of them starved -- the last remaining member of the species, M'Lee, preyed upon the researchers until only one remained: Br'Nee. Eventually, he was killed by John Crichton and M'Lee was able to eat his remains as well, allowing her to survive long enough to be rescued from the asteroid by Peacekeepers.

Harbinger

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

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

## History

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

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

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

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

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

Materium

The **Materium**, or **realspace**, was a term for the four-dimensional space-time realm where corporeal beings existed. It should not be confused with the Prime Reality -- while the Prime Reality was part of the Materium, the Materium included various alternate timelines, parallel universes. Subspace realms, such as the Void and the Warp were not part of the Materium (although the term the Immaterium often referred specifically to the Warp.) Unrealized realities were neither part of the Materium or the Immaterium.

The Materium was bound by laws of physics which made travel through the Materium generally slow, without accessing subspace to travel more rapidly. There were areas of the Milky Way where the Materium and the Immaterium were not divided and bled into each other. These rifts included the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom. There were also areas of the galaxy where subspace had been destroyed, and faster-than-light travel was not possible.

**Agrava** was a planet which the Terran Federation mined vigorously for feldon crystals. It was uninhabited prior to the discovery of the crystals, at which point it quickly became heavily populated.

Kerr Avon would later point out that these lives likely would have been taken by the Federation sooner or later anyways, as the regime would want to dispose of anyone except "key personnel" for economical reasons.

Old Ones

The **Old Ones**, known as the "**Brain Boyz**" by the Orks, were an early species to in the history of the Milky Way. They were a cold-blooded, reptilian species with highly advanced technology. They built an interstellar empire that stretched across the galaxy and were directly responsible for the creation of several prominent species in the galaxy. The Old Ones first created the Webway, which the Eldar would later perfect and expand. The Old Ones believed that by using their own network, rather than the mass relay network, they would escape the inevitable destruction from the Reapers.

The Old Ones eventually came into conflict with the Necrontyr, however the Old Ones easily overcame every effort the Necrontyr threw at them. Searching for a weapon to use against the Old Ones, the Necrontyr discovered the C'tan and built them bodies out of necrodermis. With the C'tan by their side, the Necrontyr engaged the Old Ones in war once more. This time, the war did not go in favor of the Old Ones -- especially once the Necrontyr adopted necrodermis for themselves and became the soulless Necrons.

To combat this new threat, the Old Ones crafted several psionically powerful species -- the Eldar, the Krorks, the Rashan, the K'nib, and others. Unfortunately, the powerful psychic energies of these species and their connection to the Immaterium allowed for the creation of the Chaos Gods. Although the Old Ones were victorious in the War in Heaven against the C'tan, the aftershocks of what their creations had wrought in the Warp proved too much. They either led to the extinction of the Old Ones, or the Old Ones simply fled the galaxy.

Cardassians

The **Cardassians** were a humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant planet Cardassia Prime. They were ruthless and xenophobic, renowned for their cruelty particularly to Bajorans during the Occupation of Bajor.

## Physiology

Cardassians were visually distinctive from most other humanoids due to the scaly ridges that lined their necks, their eye sockets, and the crowns of their heads. There was also an inverted tear shaped ridge on their foreheads, which earned the species the derogatory name "**Spoon heads**." Some Cardassians had a similarly shaped ridge on their chests. The ridges, particularly on their necks, were sensitive to touch and could be massaged to stimulate pleasure.

   Cardassians had dark brown or black hair that was perfectly straight but turned white with age. Women styled their hair in a myriad of ways, though men typically simply slicked the hair back.

Cardassians were susceptible to a number of medical conditions and illnesses such as Rudellian plague, Coleibric hemorrhage, Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, Pottrik Syndrome and Yarim Fel Syndrome. Intense mental discipline instilled in them by childhood training made many Cardassians immune or resistant to telepathic powers, such as mind melds.

Cardassians thrived in humid, dark environments.

## Culture

Cardassian society was based around a hierarchy -- at home, the highest rank was that of the parents, whereas outside of the home in society at large the government was at the top of the heirarchy. Even Cardassian architecture reflected this hierarchy, placing higher ranking positions in physically higher locations. This culture often bred intense rivalries, and so Cardassians were usually suspicious of those around them.

Family was the cornerstone of Cardassian culture, and Cardassians might forsake their duties to the state in order to protect or uphold their family. Family lineage was important, and as such orphans were often neglected -- as they were not able to truly continue a family's genetic line. Family homes often housed multiple generations.

Cardassians viewed the elderly as strong, powerful and wise -- this respect for age made the thirtieth birthday a milestone in the life of a Cardassian.

Cardassian men and women were treated equally within society, though women dominated the scientific and technological fields while the military and political positions were overwhelmingly filled by men.

Cheron

**Cheron** (or **83 Leonis B V**) was a planet near the southern edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone in the Beta Quadrant. It was also near the Coalsack Nebula. In the 83 Leonis system, it was the fifth planet circling the second star. Around the year 49,000 BCE a revolution began -- started by Lokai -- which led to a catastrophic war that eradicated the sapient species native to this world.

The planet remained uninhabited for millennia afterwards. During the Earth-Romulan War, this planet was considered strategically important by the Romulan Star Empire. It became the site of a pivotal battle in that war.

In 3268 CE, the two survivors of the native species returned aboard the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701). They discovered that their racially charged conflict had wiped out the species. Despite being offered the chance to live as members of the Federation, Lokai and Bele opted to remain on the surface of the planet and continue their conflict.

B'hala

**B'hala** was an ancient city on the planet of Bajor. It was considered a holy city by the Bajoran religion, though its location was lost to history around 16,600 BCE. Like other ancient Bajoran cities, it was constructed around a Bantaca spire that denoted the city's position in the stars.

For many centuries after the loss of the city, the only evidence of its existence was an icon painting that depicted the spire -- though only two sides of it. This was one of many artifacts stolen by the Cardassians during the Bajoran Occupation. The artifact was ultimately returned in 3373 CE, due to pressure from the Bajoran government.

According to Zocal's Third Prophecy, the city would only be rediscovered by someone who had been "touched by the Prophets" -- this would ultimately prove to be Benjamin Sisko. When the icon painting was being returned to Bajor, it passed through Deep Space 9 and he was able to create a holographic duplicate. By studying the painting, and examining the spire's reflection in the waterfall, he was able to determine the symbols on the Bantaca spire.

While in the holosuite, he was struck by plasma burst and experienced a vision of the city. Sisko used his research and the vision to discover the city. This confirmed his status as the Emissary of the Prophets to even the most skeptical Bajorans.

As the city was excavated, the ruins of an even more ancient city were discovered beneath it. In those ruins, the Reckoning Tablet was discovered in 3374 CE.

Dominion

The **Dominion** was a massive, interstellar goverment which grew to have control over much of the Gamma Quadrant. The Dominion was one of the longest lasting galactic governments in the history of the Milky Way.

## History

The Dominion was founded by a group of changelings known as the Founders, who sought to bring all "solids" under their control in a quest for order. Through this domination, they sought to protect themselves from the prejudices of "solids".

In order to secure control of the species under their command, they uplifted the Vorta and genetically engineered the Jem'Hadar. With the Vorta acting as diplomats, and the Jem'Hadar acting as a vast army, they were able to conquer and control hundreds of species across the Gamma Quadrant.

After the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole, the Dominion came into contact with the species of the Alpha Quadrant. They began planning to weaken and subvert the political powers of the Alpha Quadrant, and by 3373 CE they had taken over the Cardassian Union. By the end of that year, the Dominion was engaged in an open war with the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.

The beginning of the war went well for the Dominion, notably the siege of Deep Space 9. In the following year, however, the Federation and the Klingons retook the space station and were joined in the war by the Romulan Star Empire. The Dominion, however, gained new allies in the Breen Confederacy. Nevertheless, an uprising by the Cardassians put the Dominion at a further disadvantage.

When the Founders began to feel the effects of a morphogenic virus implanted into them by Section 31 and Odo, a female Founder finally surrendered, and the war ended with the Dominion's first defeat in history.

## Government

The Dominion operated under a strict hierarchy. At the top of this hierarchy were the Founders, who were treated as gods by many of their subject species. Beneath the Founders were the Vorta, and beneath them were the Jem'Hadar. Deviation from the order of the hierarchy was punishable by death.

Most decisions were handled by the Vorta, as the Founders were mostly apathetic to issues concerning solid creatures. The Vorta also were in charge of distributing the ketracel-white that the Jem'Hadar needed to survive.

### Members

The species and organizations included in the Dominion included:

* The Founders
* Vorta
* Jem'Hadar
* Pathfinders
* Karemma
* Yaderans (conquered in 3340 CE)
* T-Rogorans (conquered in 3370 CE)
* Cardassians (3373 CE - 3375 CE)

The Dominion also had an economic affiliation with both the Dosi and the Son'a. In 3375 CE, the Dominion formalized an alliance with the Breen Confederacy.

Baniks

**Baniks** were a sapient, humanoid race found in the Delta Quadrant. They were considered a slave race by many other species, largely due to their ability to conceal their feelings and thoughts which led to the widespread belief that Baniks did not have feelings. Baniks were psionically gifted and mentally resilient, even able to withhold memories from the Aurora Chair. The psionic abilities of Baniks also permitted them to share their memories with other individuals.

Some Baniks, known as stykera, were even gifted to a point that they no longer required a physical body but only used it to interact with the Materium. They were capable of existing as pure energy. Stykera were also able to help ease death, aiding the dying in crossing over to the afterlife.

Landru

**Landru** was once the leader of the Betans of Beta III around the year 2,733 BCE. He was a gifted philosopher and a talented engineer. During his rise to power, his people were torn apart by war and conflict. He sought to bring an end to violence, war, and even to disease and crime -- he wanted to create a world with no evils in it.

To that end, Landru constructed a supercomputer and gave it his identity. The computer would control the planet in order to create a paradise, long after Landru himself had died.

Aamaarazans

The **Aamaarazans** were a humanoid species that breathed a different type of atmosphere than most other humanoids. Because of this, in order to interact with other species, they typically wore breathing masks as part of a full-body EV suit that covered their body, save for the bald top of their heads.

The Aamaarazans were members of the United Federation of Planets by 3286 CE, at which point two members of the species served on the Federation Council. They were still part of the larger galactic society by the 42nd century.

Flatland (book)

***Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions*** was a satirical novella published on Earth in 1884 CE. The book examined a fictional two-dimensional world, offering social commentary through a lens of geometric people. Although it did not have much success upon its initial release, it would go on to be remembered. In particular, Captain Ed Mercer would recall the book when discovering a realm of two-dimensional space in April 3420 CE.

Galileo Galilei

**Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei**, more commonly referred to simply as **Galileo Galilei**, was a human astronomer, physicist and engineer on Earth. He was born in Pisa on February 15, 1564 CE. He made many enormous contributions to science, and made several important observations about Luna and the Sol system. Using a telescope, Galileo observed the planet Venus, the rings of the planet Saturn, discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter (known as the Galilean moons), and even analyzed crates on Luna and sunspots on Sol.

Unfortunately, Galileo's observations -- primarily his idea that Earth orbited Sol, and not the other away around -- contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, and he was declared a heretic. He ultimately died under house arrest on January 8, 1642 CE.

As humanity took to the stars, Galileo's contributions were never forgotten. He was one of the astronomers honored with a monument in front of the Griffith Observatory built in 1933 CE. Even as late as the 33rd and 34th centuries, the United Federation of Planets named shuttlecrafts after him.

In 3369 CE, Keiko O'Brien opted to teach the children of Deep Space 9 about Galileo instead of about the Prophets.

Kwejian (species)

The **Kwejian** were a humanoid species originally from the planet Kwejian. Though they lacked the technological development of most species, and were not warp-capable, they had made first contact with other alien species by the 41st century. The Kwejian valued balance and strove to live in harmony with their environment.

At a biological level, Kwejian were very nearly humans. However, some members of the species had latent psionic capabilities, an empathic power that allowed them to communicate with and psychically influence plants and animals. They believed this gift was a result of the balance, and it was the purpose of these empaths to create harmony between man and nature. A pattern of glowing spots would appear on a Kwejian's forehead when they used these powers -- it could also appear in times of heightened emotions.

On their homeworld, the Kwejian lived in an area they called the Sanctuary, which had an advance defense system around it. It was governed by the Steward of the Sanctuary.

Hullen

The **Hullen** were a neuroparasitic species that had existed in the Milky Way for thousands of cycles, bonding with other species in a slow bid to conquer the galaxy. Without hosts, Hullen could only exist within the Green Plasma, only found naturally within the J Star Cluster and specifically within the Quad. With the exception of the mossipedes from Westerley, those bonded to the organisms were also sometimes known as Hullen.

The Hullen share a hive mind, which most hosts were innately connected to. An imperfect bond between the Hullen and their hosts could leave the Hullen hosts with autonomy of their own. This imperfect bond was especially prevalent among humans, although Aneela worked on methods to strengthen the bond in order to control newer Hullen.

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 sometimes 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 tried 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.

Lopovius

The planet **Lopovius** was a reddish, arid planet settled by both the Bruidians and the Navarians -- with each believing that the other was an invader. The planet was orbited by two natural satellites.

In the year 3419 CE, Lopovius was on the border of Federation space, but close to several key member planets of the Federation. The feud between the Bruidians and Navarians was a growing concern for the admiralty -- as various Federation members had allied themselves with both factions.

In that same year, archaeologists discovered a Lopovian birthing bucket. The Bruidians and the Navarians agreed to have a neutral third party examine the artifact, hoping to find genetic material that would indicate which species had originated on the planet. Federation archaeologist Darulio analyzed the bucket and discovered genetic material that proved the original inhabitant of the planet was a common ancestor of both species. This discovery opened the door for a peace to be created between the species.

Illyrians

The **Illyrians** were a humanoid species native to the Vaultera Nebula within the Delphic Expanse. After achieving spaceflight, the Illyrians quickly developed numerous colonies across several planets. Rather than attempting to terraform worlds, the Illyrians began genetically modifying themselves to fit their environment. It is possible that this practice began while the Delphic Expanse was itself being changed by the Sphere Builders, in order to help them survive the changing conditions of their home. Because of the extensive genetic modifications to Illyrians, their appearances varied greatly -- some were indistinguishable from humans, whereas others possessed cranial ridges, enlarged ears, webbed hands or feet, or any number of other modifications.

Because of these practices, Illyrians were outcasts in the United Federation of Planets and could not join Starfleet. The United Earth government also had a prohibition against mixing human and Illyrian blood.

Argus Stone

The **Argus Stone** was an ancient artifact of the xel'naga, which the zerg believed had been used to create entire species. Its precise nature remained mysterious, but it was certainly prized by the xel'naga more than any other khaydarin crystal.

Eventually, the stone was discovered in the ruins of Taledon on the planet Aridas. Protoss, zerg, and Terran Dominion forces converged upon the location -- all in the hopes of recovering the crystal for their own purposes. The Protoss, under Judicator Kizrath, proved victorious initially. Kizarath attempted to utilize the stones energies, focusing them with a temple warped in from Aiur. The the midst of this, however, the Terran Dominion -- led by Jenson Archimedes -- managed to overcome the Protoss and take the stone.

The zerg located the science facility where the Terran Dominion was keeping the Argus Stone and attacked. Bolstered by the powerful Defiler Thakras, the zerg were able to get the Argus Stone for themselves. Once it had been procured, the zerg took the stone to Char where they used its powers to create the Supreme Being.
