Verathan

The **Verathans** were a species that built an empire in the Gamma Quadrant, extending from their homeworld in the Verath system to two dozen star systems. Their history could be divided into nineteen dynasties before the collapse of their civilization. Their culture is estimated to have reached its height around 29,000 BCE.

Several relics and artifacts could be found by archaeologists in the Gamma Quadrant. Vash uncovered, and auctioned, a statue of Drohlak in 3369 CE.

## Source

The Verathans are derived from *Star Trek: Deep Space 9*.
Thonn

**Thonn** was an aggressive and overly suspicious Peacekeeper commando who had been assigned to Peacekeeper Special Ops, as part of Captain Larraq's squad. The squad spent a cycle tracking down an intellant virus, losing four members of their group before finally capturing the virus in a host.

Unfortunately, their Marauder suffered a cesium fuel leak, forcing them to stop in the nearest safe docking port -- the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya*. While on board the living ship, the intellant virus managed to escape. Thonn helped search for it, believing it to be in Rygel XVI -- only to eventually reveal that it had moved into Larraq. Thonn did not hesitate to fire on his captain and immediately went into pursuit when the virus -- in Larraq -- tried to escape.

Ultimately, Larraq proved to be too skilled for Thonn -- in a stand-off, Larraq shot and killed Thonn before he could fire.

Terran Federation Ranks

The Terran Federation was a strictly organized hierarchy, especially when it came to military endeavors. As such, numerous ranks existed in its military structure. These included:

* Trooper: one of the lowest ranks, Troopers made up the brunt of the Federation's military forces.
* Squad Leader: squad leaders were responsible for a single squadron of five or six individuals.
* Battle Commander: a rank used to denote a step above squad leader. They made tactical decisions in battle, based upon the actions of other squads, though battle commanders were still in charge of only one squadron.
	+ Battle Fleet Commander: this title was reserved specifically for battle commanders who handled squadrons of spaceships.
* Sergeant
* Sergeant-Major
* Section Leader
* Lieutenant
* Captain
* Major
* Sub-Commander
* Commander
	+ Base Commander: while not a typical rank, because it could be held by civilians and technicians as well, base commanders were assigned specific bases that they controlled.
	+ Brigade Commander
	+ Space Commander
* Colonel
* General
* Admiral

Trayso Talnell

Doctor **Trayso Talnell** was the chief medical officer aboard the Scarran border station that vessels enroute to Katratzi were required to quarantine at. Despite being a Kalish, Trayso was quite loyal to the Scarran Empire -- and was entrusted with examining incoming ships for contraband. While examining *Moya* while she was on her way to Katratzi, he intended to prevent their entry to the station upon discovering John Crichton -- who Trayso believed was a Peacekeeper. Scorpius explained Crichton's presence as espionage against the Peacekeepers. Trayso accepted this, but refused to allow them to carry weapons aboard the station.

In order to prevent the ship carrying Aeryn Sun from leaving the station, Rygel XVI faked a case of dermafollica. Trayso, in a panic, ordered a lockdown of the entire station. Unfamiliar with how the disease presented in Hynerians, Trayso requested information from Simstef and ordered Karohm to put out a call for any doctors or healers with experience with the illness. Utu Noranti Pralatong was able to use this as an excuse to get both herself and Ka D'Argo aboard the station.

Trayso enforced his quarantine even in the face of Captain Jenek, who was determined to bring Aeryn to Katratzi. When Jenek argued that Scarrans were immune to dermafollica, Trayso counterargued that he wouldn't allow them to bring a disease that could decimate the Kalish population there.

However, Trayso cooperated with Jenek in his plan to forcibly move Aeryn's fetus into Chiana -- given that Nebari were immune to dermafollica. When the rest of *Moya*'s crew attempted a rescue, Trayso threatened to kill Aeryn instead -- the threat was empty, however, as Jenek would have killed Trayso for the act. In the final moments of their rescue, Crichton shot Trayso -- leaving him wounded, but alive.

War Among the Gods

The **War Among the Gods** was a civil war between two factions of xel'naga that was brought to an end by the Zerg Swarm.

## History

While Amon was working on Zerus, the xel'naga at Ulnar awoke. They learned of his plans to force the creation of a hybrid from the protoss and zerg. Seeking to stop him, the xel'naga attacked. A brutal war ensued -- until Amon forced the Overmind to unleash to Zerg Swarm.

The Swarm devastated the xel'naga forces, only a handful managed to escape with their lives. However, in this final battle, Amon was banished into the Void. The few remaining xel'naga returned to Ulnar.

Amon was not destroyed, however, and even then one of his servants continued to work on creating the hybrids. Nevertheless, the xel'naga's supremacy over the galaxy was no more -- paving the way for the terrible Leviathans to become the preeminent rulers of the Milky Way.

Uranus

**Uranus** or **Sol VII** was the seventh planet of the Sol system. It was the third largest planet of the system and, uniquely, rotated on a sideways axis -- rolling like a barrel, rather than spinning like a top. Despite this unique formation, like most of the other gas giants in the system, it had a ring system and several natural satellites. Chemically, it's make-up was similar to that of Neptune. It produced little of its own heat, and was therefore categorized by human scientists as an "ice giant."

## History

The planet of Uranus was first discovered by humans on March 3, 1781 by Sir William Herschel. It was the first planet to earn classification as a planet through the use of a telescope. During the 23rd century, it was the farthest reaches of human colonization -- with a small settlement of roughly 5,000 people living on its largest moon Titania.

When the protomolecule launched itself from the surface of Venus, it flew through space and established itself near Uranus.

With the development (by humans) of mass effect drives, Uranus became a significantly more important planet, as it was an abundant source of Helium-3. The moons of Uranus remained a population center in the system for some time, however they were decimated by the Great Crusade and then by the Unheard War. Most of the population fell to The Screaming. To prevent the plague from spreading to the rest of the system, the Imperial Fists Legion was forced to kill the entire population of Azurites.

By the time of the Horus Heresy, new human colonists had repopulated the moons in order to mine them for mineral resources.

Zelkin

**Zelkin** was a Zenetan pirate who served under Kcrackic and, afterwards, served under Selto Durka. After Rygel XVI beheaded Durka, he convinced Zelkin to allow *Moya* to use the Flax in their raid of a shadow depository. Upon arriving at on the Leviathan biomechanoid, however, he learned that *Moya*'s crew no longer had any money with which to pay him -- so he attempted to take over the ship.

Instead, Aeryn Sun convinced him to take loot from the shadow depository as his payment. Once the attack had commenced, however, Zelkin revealed that he had been hired by Scorpius to sabotage their efforts -- capturing *Moya* in the Flax and holding Chiana at gunpoint.

It was at that moment that *Talyn* arrived, easily destrtoying Zelkin's ship moments later.. In the ensuing chaos, Chiana struggled against Zelkin to get his gun -- which fired, killing him.

Tanga

**Tanga** was a Sykaran with a natural immunity to the effects of the tannot root. She managed to keep this a secret from the Sykaran government, and alongside her father Hybin, became surreptitious members of the Sykaran Resistance.

When John Crichton arrived on Sykar, Tanga attempted to subtly recruit him to the Resistance. When he did not understand her message, however, she had him forcibly inserted with a Sykaran worm in order to make him immune to the tannot root. Then, Tanga begged Crichton to leave Sykar and return with weapons and soldiers to help overthrow Volmae's regime.

Crichton refused but, with the help of his crewmates Aeryn Sun and Rygel XVI, was able to expose the plot. As the Sykarans vowed to take up arms against their oppressors, Tanga was able to become open about her immunity.
Xenofungus

**Xenofungus** is the only flora native to Chiron, though -- as its name suggests -- it behaves much more similarly to a fungus than a plant. Xenofungus is so widespread across the planet that it actually grows both on land and on top of bodies of water, much like algae.

Xenofungus is a thick, and difficult to trek through. Native species to the planet, such as mind worms, can manuever through xenofungus with much more ease than humans are able to.

Xenofungus is mostly crimson in color, and appears to be tubes -- though sometimes with branches -- that can range from being microscopic to being roughly a foot in diameter. Xenofungus has been known to grow as tall as 25 meters. Xenofungus can spread at rapid rates, as fast as a meter per hour.

Early research by the crew of the *U.N.S. Unity* indicated that xenofungus might be a valuable resource, containing minerals and elements that could prove useful. They did not, however, possess the technology to extract such resources. As contact was never re-established with the colonists of Chiron, it is unknown if such technology was ever developed. At the time of their landing, the only solution to handling the xenofungus of the planet was to use terraforming units to remove small areas of xenofungus at a time.

## Source

Xenofungus is derived from *Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri*.
Trigopods

**Trigopods** are a species of part plant, part animal, aquatic creatures that Delvians bred for food. A pool of the creatures was kept on the New Moon of Delvia, where they swam serenely amidst flower petals and bred. It was on this crashed vessel that both John Crichton and Rygel XVI discovered they quite enjoyed eating these creatures as well.
Warp Space

**Warp space** -- also commonly called the **Warp** -- is a subspace realm in the Immaterium that many species of the Materium rely upon for faster-than-light travel via transwarp drives. It is also sometimes called the **Aether**, the **Empyrean**, the **Sea of Souls**, or the Realm of Chaos (although this last name is not strictly accurate as it only describes portions of the Warp). It is a separate subspace realm from the Void, although both are mostly comprised of psychic energies.

Warp space is incredibly chaotic, ever shifting, and very dangerous to maneuver in without proper training. In order to make this less dangerous, the Old Ones built the Webway, which would allow for easy and safe navigation through the realm. The Old Ones had a far greater understanding of the Warp than any race since -- although both the xel'naga and the protoss have come close. As the ages have passed, however, the Warp has grown ever more chaotic and dangerous.

As with almost any dimension, the Warp is home to a variety of creatures in and of itself. Such creatures include enslavers and daemons.

United Nations Navy

The **United Nations Navy** is the naval branch of the United Nations, primarily encomapssing most of their outer space military vessels and personnel (along with the United Nations Marine Corps). Although technologically inferior to the Martian Congressional Republic Navy, it made up for it by having significantly more manpower and more ships. The Navy was stationed throughout the Sol system during the 23rd century, maintaining peace between Earth and Mars, as well as enforcing peace amongst the Belters.

## Structure

The United Nations Navy is commanded by a Fleet Commander -- a four or five star admiral, who sits on the United Nations Security Council.

Beneath the fleet commander, there are several permanent fleets, each commanded by an admiral. Each fleet is given jurisdiction over a portion of the Sol system. The Third Fleet, for example, covers Jupiter and its moons. (As such, it is also known as the "Jupiter Fleet.") Temporary units of smaller size can be created for specific tasks. For example, a task force led by the UNN *Thomas Prince* was tasked with guarding the Sol Ring and later entering the Slow Zone.

Teleport Bracelets (Scorpio)

The **teleport bracelets** associated with the vessel *Scorpio* were actually designed and created by Dorian before he had an operational teleport system. As such, the bracelets are designed with other features. They enable communication between members of the crew, and can also be used to scan objects in a very similar way to a tricorder. Dorian only crafted eight of the bracelets, all of which were stored on a rack inside the spaceship.

The teleportation system, once it was functional, did not require the bracelets to teleport a person from one teleport terminal to another -- however, the bracelets were required to transport someone to or from a location that did not have a terminal.

Teleport bracelets are derived from *Blake's 7*.
Tocot

**Tocot** was a Diagnosan who, during his lifetime, was considered one of the best medical doctors and surgeons in the Uncharted Territories. Tocot had earned a reputation for being quite inventive as well, having designed the coolant suit used by Scorpius.

Unable to tolerate translator microbes, Tocot was forced by necessity into a partnership with Grunchlk, who acted as his translator. As part of their business practice, they accepted tissue donors who were near death -- who were kept in stasis pods. In theory, none of these donors would survive coming out of stasis. Unbeknownst to Tocot, Grunchlk had accepted some donors for whom this was not entirely true -- such as Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis.

The crew of *Moya* employed Tocot shortly after their siege of a shadow depository. He was hired to treat *Moya*'s severe burns, as well as surgically remove the neuro biotracer chip that Scorpius had implanted in John Crichton's head. Tocot was quick to begin treatment of *Moya* but was hesitant that he would be capable of performing the necessary surgery on Crichton's brain. Nevertheless, he began the surgery -- activating a sterilization field so that he could work without his mask.

In the midst of the surgery, with Crichton paralyzed and unable to speak, Scorpius arrived and entered the room -- deactivating the sterilization field and breathing directly into Tocot's face. Tocot survived long enough for Rygel XVI to arrive and reactivate the sterilization field, saving Tocot's life.

Tocot was able to complete the surgery. However, shortly afterwards, he noticed something peculiar with one of the stasis pods. Though Grunchlk tried to warn Tocot away from investigating, his inquisitive mind got the better of him. The pod, he discovered, held a Scarran who was alive and well -- and who promptly murdered Tocot.

When *Moya* was docked on the planet, Dr. Tumii poisoned the crew and promised an antidote -- if he was paid. Ultimately, he did prepare the antidote for the crew although he was not paid. Instead, Rygel XVI bit off his nose.

Penetrator

The *Penetrator* was a Luxan-designed spaceship used by Luxan Commandos. It was a small but well-armed warship, perfectly designed for both guerilla warfare and infiltration of enemy ships. The fuel capacity also allowed the vessel to travel for fairly long distances.

The *Penetrator* is capable of attaching itself to the hull of another ship, drilling through the hull, and inserting a tube through which it can deploy its fighting force -- up to twenty soldiers. The ship is armed with two heavy pulse cannons, which can be used for combat both in space and in a planet's atmosphere. It is also equipped with a defensive energy shield and a deception shroud.

The *Penetrator*, under the command of Ka Jothee, was a participant in the Peacekeeper/Scarran War -- assaulting the *Decimator* and later becoming involved in the Battle of Qujaga.

War in Heaven

The **War in Heaven** was a tumultuous conflict between waged by the C'tan and the Necrontyr against the Old Ones. The war caused incredible destruction throughout the Milky Way and the Immaterium.

## History

### War Begins

The Necrontyr Empire spread far across the Milky Way, but the Necrontyr had slow-moving space vessels and short lifespans. Dynasties within the empire began warring against each other, and vying for independence. To prevent the empire from falling apart, the Silent King Szarekh devised a plan to wage war against the immortal Old Ones. His plan successfully unified his people, and the War in Heaven began.

Though the Necrontyr had powerful technology in their own rights, they had no hope of succeeding against the Old Ones who had mastered powerful psionic abilities and had access to the Webway. The Necrontyr were pushed back, eventually contained almost entirely on their homeworld and posing little threat at all to the Old Ones. The Necrontyr began to fight amongst themselves once more.

### The Tide Turns

The Triarch sought desperately for a way to reunite the Necrontyr -- and soon their prayers were answered when they encountered the C'tan. An alliance was formed, and necrodermis physical forms were constructed for the C'tan to inhabit. The C'tan brought immense power with them, with even more advanced starships and weapons. A C'tan called the Deceiver encouraged the Necrontyr to abandon their flesh and transfer themselves in necrodermis bodies of their own -- and thus, the Necrons were born.

Newly armed as such, the war against the Old Ones resumed. This time it was the Old Ones who were outmatched -- they attempted to retreat into the Immaterium, but even the Webway proved unsafe. The Necron were able to infiltrate the Warp through Dolmen Gates. The Old Ones grew desperate in the war.

With nowhere else to turn, the Old Ones psychically empowered a number of the races that they had created. Most notably, this included the Eldar. Using the power of the Warp, the psionic army struck back against the C'tan -- shattering the species. The C'tan were forced to seal off the Warp from the Prime Reality, an act which unintentionally shook all of subspace -- and the Realm of Chaos was reforged.

As creatures from subspace ferociously fought to enter the Prime Reality, the Old Ones worked to genetically create new races to fill their armies. These included the krork and the Jokaero -- but they were unable to protect the Webway from the dangers that filled it, and abandoned it as it became overrun by monsters like the Enslavers. It was because of this calamity that the Old Ones were eventually, at least, defeated.

### War Ends

With the Old Ones defeated and the C'tan weakened, the Silent King made his move. The Necrons used their advanced weaponry to imprison the immortal C'tan. The cost of this rebellion was high, and as such once the C'tan had been eternally imprisoned, the Silent King commanded all of the Necrons to enter a state of stasis called the Great Sleep.

Varla

**Varla** was a female Nebari and a member of the Establishment. Varla was cunning and manipulative and -- most dangerously -- a true believer in the Establishment's goals. She was assigned the mission of tracking down Nerri, a leader in the Nebari Resistance. Unable to locate him herself, she sought out his sister Chiana -- who was traveling aboard the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya*.

Before encountering *Moya*, Varla's ship was attacked by a Peacekeeper patrol that left all of the crew dead save herself and Meelak -- though both suffered visible wounds. Soon afterwards, however, she encountered Rygel XVI and Aeryn Sun on a planet -- shortly after John Crichton and Chiana had returned to *Moya*. She subjected both the Sebacean and the Hynerian to a temporary, drug-induced mind cleanse -- securing their aid in getting her aboard the Leviathan. With the aid of two willing members of the crew, Varla was quick to subdue the entire vessel -- mind-cleansing almost the entire crew, and placing a specialized restraint collar on Pilot. Pilot was under strict orders to bring *Moya* to rendevous with a Nebari vessel.

Chiana herself became Varla's captive, and was forced to wear a restraint collar as well. Varla interrogated Chiana repeatedly, demanding to know where Nerri was. Chiana, truthfully, believed Nerri had died and had no idea of his whereabouts. Through their interrogations, Varla also revealed that Chiana had been spreading the Nebari contagion throughout the Uncharted Territories.

Over the course of this, however, Varla's plans began to unravel. Crichton's mind cleanse had been prevented due to the interference of the neural clone in his brain, of which Varla had been completely unaware. Meanwhile, Rygel's quick metabolism had already purged him of the drug. Together with Pilot and Chiana, they concocted a scheme to simulate a Peacekeeper attack on the ship in order to have Varla release control of the ship. Varla did not comply, and instead threatened to kill Chiana -- until Crichton admitted the ruse. Enraged, she moved to kill Crichton instead -- only to be shot in the back by Meelak, who was secretly working with the Nebari Resistance.

Traskans

**Traskans** are a mysterious but psionically powerful race of humanoids originating from the planet Traska within the Uncharted Territories. Traskans are remarkably long lived, partly due to a process called the guowmuhr -- which restores youth to the Traskan. Traskans have larger ears than almost any known humanoids, and as a result have much sharper hearing -- they are even sometimes able to perceive sounds from other dimensions and timelines. Noranti Pralatong, for instance, could hear the time-displaced Priests of Arnessk and heard secrets Aeryn Sun had never voiced aloud.

Traskans also have a third eye -- which emerges fifteen cycles after their birth or after each guowmuhr. This third eye allows even greater access to the Traskan psionic abilities. The eye is not always open -- though when the third eye opens, it will glow and strange things often occur.

Traskan culture encourages its members to learn multiple trades over the course of their long lives. Eventually, a Traskan may reach the title of Utu -- the highest honor in Traskan culture. The Traskans worship an entity they call the Divine Eternal, and much of the more spiritual aspects of their culture center around their faith.

Traskans are talented doctors and healers, a skill that likely developed after it was discovered that the jilnak they are capable of vomiting can be used as a restorative.
Neural Stroke

The **neural stroke** is a technique used exclusively by Scorvians in hand-to-hand combat. When using this attack, the Scorvian rises to their full height and their arm raised in the air, with two fingers aimed down at the intended target. These fingers are brought down in a quick strike to the chest that instantly incapacitates the victim. There are variations of this attack that can make it even more deadly.

The movement is so distinct that Aeryn Sun was able to recognize that Matala was a Scorvian, despite her disguise as an Ilanic.

## Source

The neural stroke is derived from *Farscape*.
Tarn

Commanding Officer **Tarn** was the Sebacean leader of a small unit of Peacekeepers charged with defending a Jocacean Monastery and its nurses from the Venek Horde in 1501 CE.

Tarn was a noble, but modest, man. He was remembered for saving a convoy of nurses from the Veneks, and for single-handedly killing a dozen of the attackers when they breached the monastery walls. He often gave credit for his valorous deeds to other -- one reason by history would remember many of his subordinates, including Sub-Officer Dacon.

When John Crichton, Ka D'Argo, Aeryn Sun, Jool, and Stark accidentally traveled back in time to the famous battle, Tarn was initially enthusiastically pleased to see them -- believing they were reinforcements responding to his distress signal. His elation was short-lived, however, as the Venek Horde quickly attacked again and Tarn was killed in the ensuing battle -- permanently altering the timeline.
Tuzak

**Tuzak** was a Delvian Pa'u and revolutionary who -- after Peacekeepers helped install an oppressive government on Delvia -- fled the planet with a group of missionaries to the New Moon of Delvia. Inspired by Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan's murder of Bitaal, Tuzak sought to create a new kind of Pa'u who could wield dark impulses to combat the oppressors and free Delvia. Although he had some success, he ultimately went insane -- allowing his daughter, Tahleen, to take charge while he was left tending to a dead orchard on the surface of the arid world.

When *Moya* arrived, Tuzak -- having seen Tahleen's ambition -- warned John Crichton that Zhaan might be in danger. Later, when Zhaan was wrestling with the decision of whether or not to share in Unity with Tahleen, Tuzak agreed that Tahleen would surely use Zhaan's knowledge to hurt others but confessed that might be exactly what Delvia needed. Ultimately, Zhaan did share Unity with Tahleen -- and afterwards, Tahleen used her newfound abilities to kill Tuzak.

Yoz explained some of the Halosian Code to the Delvian, which allowed Zhaan to convince her captor that Tak had failed and needed to be killed.

While Yoz complied with this, she still sought to "evolve" herself and set the ship -- now her ship -- on a direct collision course with *Moya*. Zhaan managed to free herself from her restraints, knock Yoz unconscious, and escape the ship.

Wormhole Weapons

**Wormhole weapons** were a type of technology that would utilize wormholes and artificial singularities in combat. Only a complete understanding of wormholes could allow for such weapons to be created -- as such, they are incredibly advanced technology, and incredibly rare. Only a handful of such weapons have been known to exist.

The Ilanics attempted to create a black hole weapon during the course of the Ilanic/Scorvian War. Verell had nearly completed the weapon, until he unleashed it on Matala in his dying moments -- destroying the weapon along with his killer.

In battle against the Charrids, the Ancient known colloquially as "Jack" and John Crichton created a "displacement engine" that create a wormhole that siphoned matter from the interior of a star and launched it into a Scarran dreadnought -- destroying it in a single strike.

By far the most devastating example of this technology was constructed by John Crichton aboard *Moya* during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. In order to force both the Peacekeepers and the Scarran Empire to negotiate a peace treaty, built a weapon that -- using the energy from *Moya*'s Starburst -- created a precisely located black hole. The black hole engulfed everything around it, and doubled in size every few seconds. The weapon posed a real threat to the entire galaxy, and perhaps the entire universe. The demonstration proved to both the Peacekeepers and the Scarran Empire that wormhole weapons were, in and of themselves, a universal threat to all life. The gambit succeeded, and both sides came to a peace agreement.

Since the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, no attempts to create wormhole weapons have succeeded.

Transport Pods (Biomechanoid)

**Transport pods** are small, unarmed vessels that grow naturally aboard Leviathan biomechanoids in their transport hangars. They can be used to transport cargo or crew, and can also sustain Pilots that have been disconnected from the Leviathan for a limited amount of time. Transport pods are equipped with landing gear, and thus are capable of landing on planets.

Though biomechanical in nature, transport pods are not sentient and must be controlled by a pilot. The Pilot of the Leviathan is limited in their access to the transport pods -- only able to monitor systems remotely and communicate with crew in the pod.

Translator Microbes

**Translator microbes** are micro-biological organisms originating within the Uncharted Territories. They colonize at the base of the brain in most sapient species, allowing them to translate languages -- acting as a biological equivalent of the Universal Translator.

Unlike the Universal Translator, translator microbes are unable to translate written words and often have difficulty translating words without an exact translation. As such, many measurements and expletives are not adequately translated. The microbes are also unable to translate particularly complex languages -- such as the languages of Diagnosans and Pilots. Translator microbes -- like the Universal Translator -- also had difficulty in translating the Tamarian language because of its basis in allegory.

With conscious effort, one can bypass the effects of translator microbes in order to hear someone's native language. This can be useful if one is trying to learn to speak in that language.

A handful of species are unable to benefit from translator microbes. The immune systems of Ferengi will eradicate the microbes before they are able to take effect. Conversely, the Kalish are unable to tolerate the microbes and can suffer a severe reaction if they are injected with them.

Vreena

**Vreena** was a Sebacean slave in service to Captain Jenek. She acted as a nurse aboard his ship, particularly when it came to tending to Aeryn Sun's medical needs while she was held captive. Unbeknownst to Aeryn, Jenek had also instructed Vreena to try to earn Aeryn's trust -- enough to learn who the father of her unborn child was.

When Jenek was docked the Scarran border station enroute to Katratzi, the station fell under quarantine due to an outbreak of dermafollica. In hopes of procuring a cure, she agreed to have sex with John Crichton -- whom she believed was a Peacekeeper spy. To that end, she allowed him onboard Jenek's vessel -- he promptly knocked her unconscious so that he could rescue Aeryn.

Some time later, she died from dermafollica.

Ulnar

**Ulnar**, or the **Temple of Unification**, was a massive planetoid structure built by the xel'naga in the Alterian Rift. Aside from serving as a portal into the Void itself, it was the resting place of the hibernating xel'naga.

## History

Ulnar was a massive temple from which the xel'naga were able to seed life in the universe -- especially the Milky Way. Throughout the Infinite Cycle, the xel'naga would sleep in the temple after creating numerous species. A species with purity of essence and a species with purity of form, both developing naturally, would eventually reach the temple and be bestowed with the essence of the xel'naga. The cycle would start again.

In the Prime Reality, the xel'naga Amon developed a plan to end the Infinite Cycle and reshape the universe as he saw fit. With a group of xel'naga followers, they left Ulnar after the other xel'naga had slept and interfered in the development of the protoss and the zerg.

The xel'naga sleeping in Ulnar were awakened by the reignition of the Khala on Aiur. Realizing something had gone awry, they left Ulnar and discovered Amon's interference. They traced him to Zerus, and there the War Among the Gods was fought. The survivors returned to Ulnar.

The protoss believed Ulnar to be a mythical place -- the place from which all life flowed, but in a place where no life should be.

When Amon returned to the Materium, the first thing he did was slay the survivors in Ulnar. Some time after this, the Zerg Swarm under the command of Sarah Kerrigan would arrive. They battled Amon's hybrids for weeks, until the Daelaam arrived with the Keystone. Now able to unlock the temple, Kerrigan and Artanis ventured inside and discovered the corpses of the fallen xel'naga.

Amon took this opportunity to spring a trap, opening a portal to the Void. Working together, the zerg and protoss were able to destroy the crystals that held the portal open. Eventually, Kerrigan and her allies reopened the portal in order to directly assault Amon.

Ulnar survived the End War, but no longer served a purpose.

The Bends

**The Bends** is the popular name for **decompression sickness**, an illness resulting in a sudden reduction in atmospheric pressure that causes bubbles of nitrogen to form in an individual's bloodstream. Symptoms of the Bends are extremely uncomfortable and include difficulty breathing and severe muscle and joint pain. It is a common ailment for divers and was once a problem that spacefarers had to be careful of as well.

Even in more advanced technological eras, the Bends was something that spacefarers were concerned about. Doctor Leonard McCoy believed Captain James T. Kirk had a case of the Bends as a result of tests conducted on the captain by the Vians. Centuries later, Vila Restal was concerned that the *Liberator*'s sudden passage through the magnetic barrier of Horizon had given him the Bends.

Sykar

**Sykar**, located on the edge of the Uncharted Territories, was once a beautiful world, resembling something of a planet-wide garden. At some point, however, the Peacekeepers secretly took control of the planet and installed a puppet government that answered exclusively them. The Sykaran civilization that had developed on the planet were forced farming tannot root, so that it could be coverted into Chakan oil.

With the aid of *Moya* and her crew -- especially Rygel XVI's Hynerian digestive system -- the scheme was exposed. The planet's small resistance group joined forces with the puppet government and worked to overthrow the Peacekeepers, gaining sovereignty so that they could again govern themselves.

Sykar is a planet that appeared in an episode of the first season of *Farscape*.
Yuri Gagarin

**Yuri Gagarin** was a Soviet cosmonaut who -- on April 12, 1961 CE -- became the first human to travel into space on the *Vostok 1*. This was his only flight into space, but he was awarded numerous medals and honors and became an international celebrity because of his success as a cosmonaut and a pilot.

At some point, Yuri Gagarin met a young Jack Crichton and gave him a puzzle ring, which would ultimately travel across the galaxy with John Crichton, and end up floating through space in the Uncharted Territories.

Though Gagarin died in a jet crash on March 27, 1968 CE his legacy would live on for many centuries with several spaceships being named after him, including the VK *Yuri Gagarin**,* USS *Yuri Gagarin* and the USS *Gagarin*. On the grounds of Starfleet Academy in San Francisco, graduation ceremonies would take place at Yuri Gagarin Hall. The Gagarin system in the Gamma 7 sector was named after him, as was the Gagarin Radiation Belt surrounding the Loracus system.

Verell

**Verell** was an Ilanic scientist who, alongside his assistant Matala, was working to develop a weapon that utilized an artificial singularity -- a black hole -- to devastate opponents. The hope was that this would turn the tide of the Ilanic/Scorvian War.

The tests of the weapon were conducted in the Uncharted Territories, but something in the test went wrong and the Ilanic cruiser was destroyed. Verell and Matala managed to salvage the experimental weapon and escape on a shuttle, eventually being discovered by *Moya*. Ka D'Argo insisted on rendering assistance, and Verell worked to complete work on the weapon.

John Crichton was exposed to the weapon and -- according to theories later proposed by Verell -- this was what caused him to begin jumping through time. These jumps, however, revealed that Matala was a Scorvian in diguise. When D'Argo and Crichton confronted her about this, Matala attacked Verell with a knife. In his last moments, he disabled the containment field around the artificial black hole -- it swallowed Matala's shuttle and the Scorvian vessel with which she tried to rendevous.

Tavleks

The **Tavleks** are a mostly violent, though highly spiritual humanoid species found in the Delta Quadrant. During the midst of a war, the Tavlek government created a powerful weapon that came to be known as the Tavlek Gauntlet, and distributed it to their most elite fighters. When the war came to an end, these fighters refused to stand down and so they were exiled from Tavlek society and left on an uninhabited jungle world in the Uncharted Territories. These fighters became a feared band of mercenaries, whose interplanetary reputation overshadowed that of the rest of Tavlek society.
United States of America

The **United States of America** was a sovereign nation on the planet Earth before it -- along with the other nations of the world -- ceded sovereignty to the United Nations. It was the location of the earliest recorded contact between humans an extraterrestrial species when temporally displaced Ferengi crashed at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 CE.

In the decades that followed, the United States engaged in a space race with the Soviet Union -- ultimately culminating in the first human to land on Luna in 1969 CE. Afterwards, the United States became leaders of humanity's advance into the stars for many years afterwards.

Tarkans

The **Tarkans** have a reputation as a race of noble, blue-skinned warriors and mercenaries with hearts of gold. The Tarkan Freedom Fighters have become a shining example of benevolence known throughout the Uncharted Territories.

There are, however, many Tarkans who are not so benevolent. Some are even criminal. Many of them pose as Freedom Fighters in order to use the reputation of the organization to lure in unsuspecting victims.
Vosler

**Vosler** was the Vice Chancellor of the Peacekeepers during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. When Maryk died, Peacekeeper High Command instructed Vosler to take over his battle group. While he was enroute, Commandant Mele-on Grayza ordered the battle group to travel to Captain Miklo Braca's command carrier to render assistance -- greatly inreasing the distance Vosler needed to travel in order to assume command.

Warp Gates

**Warp gates** are artificially created structures in the Prime Reality which open into the Warp and allow for nearly instant travel from one location to another Gate. The first Warp Gates in existence are a mystery -- and some have argued that they are actually natural phenomenon. It is known, however, that other warp gates have been intentionally constructed by such beings as the Old Ones, the xel'naga, and the protoss. The mass relays, constructed by the Reapers, and the Iconian Gateways, constructed by the Iconians, use an entirely different technological system to allow for similar effects.

Because functioning warp gates are a fairly automated system of travel, they avoid many of the risks of ordinary warp travel. Vehicles and beings that pass through warp gates do not necessarily need to be capable of faster-than-light travel under ordinary circumstances. Some gates are small enough that only a single person may pass through at a time, whereas others are large enough that entire spacecrafts -- even Eldar Craftworlds -- can pass through them. Warp gates can be found both on planet surfaces and in space.

Warp gates are preset to open another warp gate -- however, when a warp gate is first discovered, where it opens to is unknown until someone passes through it. Unfortunately, some warp gates have been destroyed and others have been damaged. In such cases, it is entirely possible for the warp gate to deposit someone deep inside Warpspace with no real way to return to the Prime Reality.
