Veneks

The **Veneks** were a race of barbarians who claimed territory over most of the Jocacean Monastery Planet, and several other planets within the Uncharted Territories.

After a brutal massacre at the monastery, the Peacekeepers sent their full might to decimate the Veneks. If any still survive, they are but a shadow of the might of their former selves.

## Alternate Timeline

In a timeline unaltered by time-traveling members of *Moya*'s crew, a peace treaty between the Peacekeepers and the Venek Horde was established and the Venek presumably still worked alongside the Peacekeepers. This timeline may still exist as a unrealized reality but it is no longer the prime reality.
Tak

**Tak** was a Halosian lord, he commanded the ship *Halos-1*. Tak was determined to move, or "evolve" through the ranks of his society according to the Halosian Code. It was to this end that he attacked *Talyn* -- despite Bialar Crais' insistance that they were peaceful travelers. *Talyn*, in turn, attacked the Halosian ship -- easily defeating them and killing 30 of its crew members. *Talyn* spared the ship and departed, leaving Tak to try to recover from this disastrous failure with the aid of his subordinate Yoz.

When *Moya* approached, Tak believed *Talyn* had merely been an advance recon ship for this larger vessel. However, when Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan boarded his vessel under peaceful pretenses, and was taken captive, he learned that *Moya* was unarmed. He believed this made her defenseless and an easy target -- so he fired his weapons. *Moya* was able to activate her defense screen and protected herself.

Seeking a way around the protection, Tak boarded *Moya* -- claiming he needed to see for himself that they were not a threat to him. In the midst of his tour of the ship, he became ill and violently vomited onto one of *Moya*'s systems. The vomit, in truth, was an acid that began shorting out *Moya*'s systems.

Upon returning to his ship, he attempted to fire again -- but *Moya*'s crew had quickly repaired the damage and raised the defense screen once more. At this point, however, Yoz had become convinced of Tak's failure. She killed him and took his place -- evolving according to the Code that Tak had dedicated his life to pursuing.
Stykeras

**Stykeras** were psionically gifted Baniks, able to impart part of their own energy or "soul" to help ease the suffering of others, particularly those passing into death. However, in this exchange, some of the dying person's energy flows into the stykera, allowing them to absorb some of the emotions and memories of each person whom they "cross over." As a result of this, many stykeras seem somewhat deranged.

These psionic abilities are not always under the control of the stykera, and there have been known to be accidents caused by the psionic energy of a stykera. In one instance, Stark's energies interacted with time tear goggles to create a rift in time itself that ultimately altered history.
Tauvo Crais

**Tauvo Crais** was a Sebacean who was drafted into the Peacekeepers alongside his brother, Bialar. As they ascended the ranks, Tauvo became a Prowler pilot assigned to Bialar's command carrier.

While attempting to recapture *Moya* during her escape, Tauvo's Prowler clipped the *Farscape*-1 module -- which had just emerged from a wormhole -- and hurtled into an asteroid, exploding on impact. Tauvo was killed.

Time of Awakening

The **Time of Awakening** is a period in Vulcan history where the species underwent a massive cultural shift -- from being incredibly violent and emotional to becoming a peaceful species known for logic and suppressing their emotions.

The philosophy of suppressing emotion was initially taught by Surak, who also focused on teachings of logic and pacifism. His teachings were very effective -- and his followers were immune to the effects of the Stone of Gol. Nevertheless, many Vulcan resisted -- particularly those who said they "marched beneath the raptor's wings." A terrible war ensued, where nuclear weapons nearly obliterated the planet.

Surak died of radiation poisoning on Mount Seleya shortly before the end of the war, with his *katra* being stored within the *Kir'shara*. The *Kir'shara* was lost in the ensuing chaos of the final battle of the war -- but in the end, Surak's followers won the day and drove those who opposed them from the planet, taking two of the fragments of the Stone of Gol with them. They would become the ancestors to the Romulans and the Debrune.

Xarai

The **Xarai** were a cannibalistic, zombie-like subspecies of Sebaceans. All Xarai were, initially, Peacekeepers aboard the Leviathan biomechanoid *Rovhu*. *Rovhu* and his crew had been assigned to transport a single prisoner -- Kaarvok. Kaarvok, however, had a twinning technology which he used against his captors. After being twinned countless times, the Sebaceans began devolving -- ultimately becoming the Xarai. Kaarvok considered the Xarai his family -- as well as his food.

All of the Xarai were killed as the result of *Rovhu*'s death.
Sigma Draconis VI

**Sigma Draconis VI** was the sixth planet of the Sigma Draconis system, an inhabited world that entered an ice age around 9,000 BCE. Despite the average temperature reaching only about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it was a Class M planet with a single natural satellite in its orbit.

Once, the inhabitants of the planet had extremely advanced technology. An ice age, however, caused them to de-evolve -- becoming an exceedingly primitive culture with a schism between males (called the Morgs) and females (the Eymorgs.) The cause of this ice age is unknown.

The Morgs lived on the frigid surface of the planet, with an extremely primitive culture. The Eymorgs lived underground in a society controlled by a computer called the Controller. Ultimately, the Controller was disconnected by the crew of the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) in order to save Commander Spock and the two civilizations were forced to come together.

Temmon

**Temmon** was a miner on the remains of a Budong in the Uncharted Territories, with a romantic history with Chiana that had created a rivalry between himself and his brother B'Sogg. Several cycles later, Chiana returned to the mining colony with the crew of *Moya* -- arriving just after he had been fatally wounded by a Keedva. Upon seeing her, Temmon begged Chiana to end his suffering -- and she obliged, killing him out of mercy.

Unity

**Unity** was a practice between Delvians, which allowed them to share their minds, thoughts, and memories with one another by essentially, metaphysically, becoming one being. Delvians could share Unity with non-Delvians as well. Although the practice was psionic in nature, Delvians gave it spiritual significance and treated it as a ritual. Although a practice of the Delvian Seek, it is not only Pa'us who practice Unity. However, because Unity can be dangerous and straining, typically one party to the ritual will always have been specifically trained.

Unity, done as it is intended as a benevolent sharing of two beings, has been compared to experiencing ten cycles of excellent sex all at once. Sharing Unity creates a lasting bond between two individuals. In one case, with the aid of a Stykera, the Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan was able to share energy with John Crichton -- with whom she had previously shared Unity -- in order to allow him to continue moving while time froze around him because of a center halo. Unity could be used to heal as well, by moving energy from one individual into the injured one. Zotoh Zhaan brought Aeryn Sun back from the brink of death in this manner -- though the transfer would have cost Zhaan her life, had she not sacrificed herself instead.

Unity can, however, be deliberately dangerous and in the most drastic cases, can even be deadly. Zotoh Zhaan killed her love Bitaal while sharing Unity. In less extreme examples, Unity can still prove physically dangerous -- one party can overwhelm the other, leading to injury. The neural clone Harvey managed to do this Zhaan from inside Crichton's mind. More commonly, however, Unity could be maliciously used to steal memories or experience -- even training. It was in this manner that Tahleen stole abilities from Zhaan -- ultimately driving them both to madness.

In order to share Unity, both parties must stand facing each other and touch foreheads. They then place their hands on the sides of each others heads, on or near the ears. Once in this position, energy can begin to be shared and Unity can begin.

Unnamed Litigarans

A list of unnamed Litigarans.

### Bartender

This Litigaran was a Utility who worked at a bar that Zotoh Zhaan, Chiana, and Rygel XVI visited. After Zhaan's arrest, he provided Chiana and Rygel with information on Litigaran law, Utility rights, Wesley Kenn, the Light of Truth, and the effect Litigara's moons had on blue-eyed Litigarans. After Zhaan was acquitted, Chiana thanked him with a kiss.

### Judge

This Litigaran judge presided of Zotoh Zhaan's trial, taking the proceedings very seriously. She was fair and measured, but tolerant of the unorthodox practices employed by Rygel and Chiana. Unaware that their Light of Truth had been faked, she declared Zhaan was not guilty.

## Source

These unnamed Litigarans are derived from *Farscape*.
Tarr

**Tarr** was a blue-eyed Litigaran police officer. Like all blue-eyed Litigarans, he was sensitive to the light of the dual moons and could experience moon burn if he was outside for too long on a night where both moons were full. He was a security guard for Rhumann, Willian and Mandell and then served on the police force of Litigara for eight or nine cycles before the crew of *Moya* arrived on the planet in 2000 CE.

When Zotoh Zhaan discovered the body of the murdered activist Wesley Kenn, Tarr was the one who discovered her with the body and arrested her. He became a key witness in the case. However, Chiana was able to cast some doubt on his testimony by pointing out that he had suffered terrible moon burns by being outside on the night of the dual full moon and that it was highly suspicious he happened to be out and happened to find Zhaan standing over the body on a night when he ordinarily would have sheltered indoors.
Unrealized realities

**Unrealized realities** are a form of alternate dimension, created by improper wormhole navigation. Because of the nature of their creation, unrealized realities are only accessible through wormholes and are often incomplete dimensions. They are not part of the Materium or the Immaterium, and are not even truly part of the multiverse itself. They cannot even be accessed through the Guardian of Forever. Unrealized realities are alternate dimensions that never occurred.

While some unrealized realities bear great resemblance to the Prime Reality or alternate timelines, many are bizarre and completely removed from anything one might know. In some unrealized realities, individuals may be merged together -- or their identities may be switched around in alarming ways.

## Source

Talikaa

**Talikaa** was a Wolaxian arachnid who posed as a humanoid prisoner, who fed on a number of traders near the border of Tormented Space that believed they were keeping her as property. They sold her to the crew of *Moya* on Chiana's insistence that they could not allow her to continue being used in such a way.

Talikaa's influence over the crew was almost immediate -- each of them, save Noranti Pralatong and Sikozu, exacerbating their primary traits until they were suitable to be harvested. Then, she began her harvest.

When Sikozu located the orbs in which these emotional meals were stored, thanks to a trap laid by Noranti, John Crichton made his way there, fully armed. Talikaa attacked him -- but ultimately, his weapon proved the victor. Noranti made roasted spider stew of Talikaa's remains.
Timbala

The **Timbala** was an ancient text, written in ancient Hynerian. In truth, it told how the Acquarans were sent out from the Hynerian Empire and stranded on the planet Acquara. It also included star charts and the story of the "Masata". However, in an effort to increase their own importance, the priestans guarded the Timbala closely and embellished upon its contents, turning it into the basis of a religion that guided their whole society.

Voice in the Darkness

The **Voice in the Darkness** was an ancient, evil entity that existed in the Milky Way from the beginning of time. It's exact nature is unknown, but it is theorized to have been a C'tan that never placed itself in a necrodermis body or, indeed, interacted with the Necrontyr at all. Whatever its origins, the Voice in the Darkness survived the War in Heaven and continued devouring entire civilizations until it crossed paths with the xel'naga.

The Voice in Darkness despised the xel'naga. The powerful species clashed with the entity, but was unable to truly defeat it. Instead, they used an Argus crystal and the powers of the Void to imprison the entity inside a barren planet which orbited a dead star. The star would one day be designated KL-2.

In 3103 CE, a research team from the Moebius Foundation arrived on that barren world to study xel'naga ruins there. The team was led by a psionically gifted human -- Dr. Morrigan. The Voice reached out to Morrigan, convincing her to create a psionic amplifier for her powers. Under the Voice's influence, she unlocked the creature's prison and unleashed it. Half of her team was possessed by it -- the other half brutally murdered.

Half a sector away, the Dark Templar felt the Voice free itself. A team led by Azimar and Xy'tal arrived on the planet. They were soon assaulted by a converted human -- who, before his death, managed to make psychic contact with both the protoss leaders. The Voice knew of the assault Azimar planned, and sought to bend Xy'tal to his will.

The human minions were cut away by the protoss, until only Morrigan remained. The Voice, speaking through Morrigan, told the protoss it wanted them to be its harbringers. Azimar refused, but the Voice's influence on Xy'tal had grown and he submitted. The two Dark Templar fought, until Xy'tal was able to regain control of himself. He charged an Argus crystal to re-imprison the entity, while the other Dark Templar fled the planet.

When the protoss returned, the planet had been destroyed and all that remained was an asteroid belt around the dead star. The entity had not been destroyed, as it still psychically taunted Azimar -- but its location could not be detected.

Zakdorn

The **Zakdorn** are a sapient, humanoid species mostly recognized for being brilliant strategists. Because of this reputation, no species has waged war against the Zakdorn since roughly 8,000 BCE.

The most notable physical characteristic of the Zakdorn are three pouches of fibrous tissue found on each side of their face.

The Zakdorn were a member species of the United Federation of Planets. In that capacity, they operated Surplus Depot Z15, and sent representatives to the Trade Agreements Conference on Betazed in 3366 CE.

Vakali

Secretary **Vakali** was an administrator within the government of the Scarran Empire, making him particularly high-ranking for a Kalish. When the crew of *Moya* infiltrated Katratzi, Sikozu attempted to convince him that the Charrids were plotting a coup that would permanently oust all Kalish from the station. Ultimately, it was his assistant Zukash who led him to believe this could be true.

Ultimately, as the crew of *Moya*'s subterfuge continued, this led to outright arguments between Vakali and Rahzaro -- culminating in a riotous fight between the Charrids and the Kalish of Katratzi.

Heat Delirium

Sebacean **Heat Delirium** is a debilitating condition that effects Sebaceans when they are exposed to high temperatures. The Sebaceans cells begin to overheat, the nervous system shuts down. Short term memory loss is one of the initial symptoms. This is followed by motor functions, and ultimately long term memory loss.

If left untreated, the victim will enter a state known as the Living Death. At this point, Sebaceans consider it a mercy to kill the victim.

Sykarans

**Sykarans** are a humanoid race, likely distant relatives of Sebaceans, who originate on the planet Sykar in the Uncharted Territories. For many cycles, Sykar was used almost exclusively for the harvesting of tannot roots, to fuel Peacekeeper weaponry. The diet of the Sykarans was also almost exclusively made up of tannot roots -- rendering most of the species into little more than happy drones content to work endlessly.

The intervention of the crew of *Moya*, the leader of the Sykarans learned how to create chakan oil and became sure that her people could free themselves of Peacekeeper control.
Tau Volantis

**Tau Volantis** was a Class M planet inhabited millions of years ago by a long forgotten species. The planet's surface was primarily water,

At some point, the inhabitants of the planet discovered a Black Marker on the surface of their world. They began worshipping it, and also reverse engineered it to create Red Markers as a virtually limitless energy source. Only a few of the people of the world were able to resist the influence of the Markers. Eventually, violence broke out and the dead of the planet began to rise as Necromorphs. Finally, the Black Marker began to rise up into orbit around the planet and form a Brethren Moon. Those who had resisted thus far made one last ditch effort to stop the Convergence Event -- using a terraforming machine, they manage to flash freeze their planet, leaving the partially formed Moon frozen and dormant in their atmosphere as well.

Tracer ship (Zenetan)

**Tracer ships** were small, crude spaceships capable of a top speed of Hetch 4 and required only a crew of 2 -- though up to five individuals could fit inside one. They were powered through a furnace, which therefore could turn virtually anything into fuel. Staanz often powered his by burning garbage.

The ships were designed by Zenetans, though were generally independent of any affiliation.

ThroneSled

A **ThroneSled** was a piece of Hynerian technology. It was, essentially, a chair with anti-gravity capabilities -- allowing the one sitting in it to hover or fly in the air -- typically one foot off of the ground, though the altitude could be adjusted. The device could be maneuvered in any direction through a joystick. ThroneSleds were specifically designed to hold a full-grown Hynerian, but could hold up considerably more weight than that for a limited amount of time. ThroneSleds could also build up considerable speed while in motion, making them effect for ramming people.

ThroneSleds were made and used exclusively by Hynerian royalty.

T.R. Holt

**T.R. Holt** was a special adviser to the President of the United States of America on Earth in 2003 CE. He joined Jack Crichton in being the first humans to greet alien lifeforms in person by boarding *Moya*. Although he initially put on a friendly face for the extraterrestrial visitors, Holt's mission was to assess if the aliens posed a threat and ensure that any and all scientific discoveries that could be gleaned from them were kept exclusively for the USA. Ultimately, Holt failed to convince Jack to withhold the alien technology from the other governments of the world.
Tugar

**Tugar** was the leader of the Scarran Empire's Charrid forces prior to the outbreak of the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. For a Charrid, he was laid back and jovial, enjoying humor and smoking. He did not, however, appreciate jokes made at the expense of his species. Tugar was not a skilled tactician and had earned his rank only through being stronger and more brutal in combat than other Charrids.

Venek Horde

The Venek Horde was the military of the barbaric Veneks. A loosely commanded band of warriors, the Venek Horde was feared throughout the Uncharted Territories for many cycles. They were famously victorious at the Battle of Madizak.

The destiny of the Venek Horde changed significantly in a battle against the Peacekeepers at a Jocacean monastery in 1501 CE. Though efforts were made to reach a treaty between the two factions, interference by time travelers led the Venek Horde to slaughter everyone in the monastery -- men, women, and children. As a result, the Venek Horde became the number one enemy of the Peacekeepers. With much less sophisticated technology, the Venek Horde was almost entirely wiped out following the massacre.

## Alternate Timelines

In the original timeline, untouched by the interference of time travel, the Venek Horde and Peacekeepers were able to reach a peace treaty. The Jocacean monastery became a historic landmark, a testament to peace in unlikely places.

In another timeline, the Venek Horde conquered the planet and made it a homeworld. They still occupied the planet in 2001 CE.

Vissians

The **Vissians** were a humanoid species originating from the planet Vissia who were highly intelligent, even compared to many other humanoid species. Vissians were capable of learning new information rapidly, and could retain this information much more easily than humans.

## Physiology & Culture

Vissians were mainly distinguishable from humans because of the segmented, crescent-shaped ridges around their eyes.

Vissians had three sexes -- males, females, and cogenitors -- each of which was necessary in order for reproduction to occur. Cogenitors comprised roughly 3% of the Vissian population and were therefore highly sought after for the purposes of breeding. As a result, cogenitors spent much of the history of the Vissian people deprived of rights, treated as inferior people used only for the purpose of reproduction.

Vissians were very sexually open -- preferring to have sex before deciding whether or not to pursue a relationship.

Vissians base their food preferences on the aroma of foods, rather than on the flavor. As such, when eating human foods, they tend to prefer foods such as cheeses.

## History

The Vissians were known to have developed warp drives as early as the 22nd century -- it is believed to have been their first attempt at faster-than-light travel. There is no evidence of mass effect technology ever having been discovered. Despite their advanced propulsion systems, Vissians preferred an extremely thorough exploration of the regions surrounding their homeworld and so expanded out from the Vissian system slowly. However, they were extremely open to meeting new species.

By the 3150s, Vissians had developed advanced sensory technology, as well as photonic weapons powered by rechargeable sarium microcells. They had also developed vessels that were capable of exploring within a stellar corona, and had ships that could survive past the hydrogen layer of hypergiants.

Upon first contact with humans and Vulcans through the *Enterprise* NX-01, they offered to modify the *Enterprise*'s sensors and also provided humans with photonic torpedo technology a short time later.

Ullom

**Ullom** was a Lukythian who tracked down Aeryn Sun after she was involved in the assassination of the Prime Lukythian. During her escape from the assassination, Aeryn had shot him -- though he survived the wound. He carried the antidote to the engineered strain of Sebacean Heat Delirium with which she had been infected -- and promised to cure her should we provide the names of her cohorts and her employer. Ullom managed to hold *Moya* hostage while he attempted to coerce her into cooperating.

Ultimately, John Crichton managed to convince Ullom that Aeryn would cooperate -- Ullom provided the antidote. However, as Aeryn began to recover, she confessed that although she had been hired to kill the Prime Lukythian -- that he was a murderous monster she would kill him again for free. Ullom attempted to shoot her for this, but his blast was blocked by a Tarkan shield belt. In the moments afterwards, Crichton shot Ullom -- damaging his life support system and leaving him dead.

Turian Unification War

The **Turian Unification War** was a series of bitter conflicts between various turian colonies. These conflicts were occurring at roughly the same time that the asari and salarians were founding the Citadel Council -- as the turians had been using the mass relay network for some time.

Hostilities originated between the colonies furthest from Palaven. Each colony was run by a chieftain who was, ultimately, independent of the Turian Hierarchy. The colonies became increasingly xenophobic and isolated, beginning to wear markings on their faces to differentiate themselves from each other.

When the war initially began, the Hierarchy stayed out of it and let the colonies amongst themselves. After several cycles of this, the colonies had all weakened themselves. The Hierarchy swept in and forced the remaining chieftains to swear loyalty. Although peace was established, there was a great deal of animosity between the various colonies for decades to come.

## Factions

The following colonies were active participants in the Unification War.

* Baetika Colony on Pregel
* Bostra Outpost on Ontarom
* Carthaan Outpost on Antida
* Chatti Outpost on Xawin

Telepathic Pitcher Plant

"**Telepathic pitcher plant**" was the name given to an ancient creature living in the Delta Quadrant by Naomi Wildman when the entity was encountered by the USS *Voyager*. Scans estimated the creature had existed for more than 200,000 years. There was no sign that the creature was sentient, only operating on a highly evolved instinct.

The creature fed by creating a powerful neurogenic field, which caused the crew of any who entered the field to experience delusions of what they most desired. As a result, the crew would alter course to go straight into the waiting mouth of the creature. However, any crew member who did not share the desire of the rest of the crew would be unaffected by the field. In those cases, the crew would turn against the dissenting crew member -- sometimes violently. Once the vessel got close enough to the creature, the crew would be rendered unconscious. The vessel would pass into the creature's digestive system, where bioplasmic charges resembling lightning would break down the spaceship at a molecular level.

In 3336 CE, the creature devoured a colony ship called the *Nokaro*, which the friends and family of Qatai were aboard. Afterwards, Qatai swore vengeance against the creature. Over the following years, he built up a resistance -- though not an immunity -- to the creature's telepathic influence.

In 3375 CE, the USS *Voyager* came under its influence. The crew saw a wormhole leading to the Alpha Quadrant, except for three crew members -- Naomi Wildman, Seven of Nine, and the Doctor. The crew ignored Naomi because of her young age, but knocked Seven unconscious and took the Doctor offline. Nevertheless, the three were able to save the ship with the help of Qatai -- who had been trapped within. Using bursts of anti-matter gas and Qatai's tetryon weaponry, they were able to convince the creature to essentially spit out both of their ships.

*Voyager* placed warning beacons around the creature, while Qatai continued on his quest to destroy it.

Voth

The **Voth** were a proud cold-blooded reptillian species, who had carved out a territory of space for themselves in the Delta Quadrant. They had incredibly advanced technology compared to many of the races of the galaxy. Their skin color could shift depending upon their moods, and they also possessed a highly advanced sense of smell.

## History

65 million years before the Common Era, dinosaurs walked the Earth. A comparatively diminutive species, the Voth were developing advanced technology to stay alive. Their technology led them to discover that an asteroid was on a collision course with Earth. With few options left, the Voth used newly developed warp drive technology to abandon the planet. Not all of the Voth were able to evacuate -- and some who stayed behind managed to survive the extinction event and ultimately became the Silurians.

They wandered space for millenia, eventually settling in the Delta Quadrant. Modern records date back to 20,000,000 years before the Common Era -- at which point, the Voth had forgotten their origins. They believed they were native to the Delta Quadrant, and that they were the most advanced species in the galaxy. They even believed that they were the first sapient species to exist in their part of space.

However, their space travel technology had stalled, due to an ancient doctrine predicting that even trying to develop transwarp technology would lead to terrible disasters and destroy their culture. Eventually, however, someone did create transwarp technology and the Voth entered a new era of growth and exploration.

As a result of this, the Distant Origin Theory began to gain traction among the Circle of Science, the Circle of Philosophy, and even among the common population. The Ministry of Elders saw the theory as a threat to their authority, and as such when Forra Gegen discovered actual proof supporting the theory in 3373 CE, he and the entire crew of the USS *Voyager* were placed on trial. Despite their best efforts, they lost the trial and would have been sentenced to imprisonment on a prison colony had Gegen not retracted his claims regarding his discovery in order to save the crew.

Tadek

**Tadek** was a board game popular in the Hynerian Empire and parts of the Uncharted Territories. The game involved moving stacks of crystals across a board, which would light up with holographic images after certain moves. When the game was completed, several holographic pillars would appear. The game also involved a certain amount of bluffing, as well as planning ahead and strategy. One move, the triple quadra hent, was notoriously difficult to set up and implement and was considered an advanced move.

The game was traditionally played for kelvic crystals.

Rygel XVI was a skilled tadek player. He played against Staanz, and later intentionally lost to Kcrackic in order to convince the Zenetan pirates to leave *Moya* without doing any damage to the ship.
Tannot Roots

**Tannot roots** are a vegetable that were once introduced to agricultural, Peacekeeper-controlled worlds to be harvested by the locals. The root is devastating to local ecology, as any ground it is harvested from is left unstable. The root is an essential ingredient to Chakan oil, which is used to fuel Peacekeeper weaponry.

The root can, however, also be ingested. This will provide nutrition, but will leave most species in a state of bliss and renders them extremely susceptible to commands. Aware of this, the Peacekeepers inundated tannot root farmers with propaganda. The effects of the tannot root are strong enough to quell a Luxan's Hyper-Rage. These mental effects can be avoided if the rare Sykaran worm is placed inside a host.

Hynerians, however, cannot ingest tannot root. The mental effects have no bearing on Hynerians, but the chemicals in the vegetable will create a reaction with the Hynerian's bodily fluids -- rendering all of their bodily fluids explosive including sweat and urine.

Subspace Communication Network

A **subspace communication network**, sometimes called a **subspace comnet** for short, was a system of communications used by many spacefaring societies for long range transfer of information. By sending signals through subspace relays, messages could be sent at incredibly fast speeds. These relays were frequently built into spaceships and space stations.

The earliest known one of these was constructed in the Delta Quadrant around the year 100,000 BCE, and was ultimately claimed as a communication network for the Hirogen.

The United Federation of Planets operated one, initially using subspace amplifiers deployed by the *Enterprise* NX-01. The Federation comnet utilized a number of channels for different purposes, including Comnet Three, Comnet Six, Comnet Seven and several channels specifically designated for use by Starfleet, including Starfleet Comnet One, Starfleet Comnet Three, and Starfleet Comnet Four.

Tav Josbek

Admiral **Tav Josbek** was a high-ranking Peacekeeper official. He had led the Peacekeepers in battle on multiple occasions, even against the Luxan Army. He was the senior official who presided over the trial of Ka D'Argo for the murder of Lo'Laan Tal, alonside Bialar Crais and Frin Lorvak. Despite the circumstantial evidence, Josbek and Lorvak voted that D'Argo was guilty. Crais voted that D'Argo be released.

After Crais entered the Uncharted Territories, hunting for John Crichton, Josbek contacted him and demanded he return to Peacekeeper High Command for new orders, and to explain his failure to recapture the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya*. Crais ignored the orders, and killed the only other person who was aware of them: Lieutenant Fenra Teeg.

Ritual of Passing

The **Ritual of Passing** was a rite conducted by Luxan Oricans when they were about to die. The ritual involved an attendant, who was required to be of Luxan descent. The Orican would form an emotional and spiritual bond with their attendant, who would transfer energy to them. The ritual involves great risk -- as, should the attendant give too much of their energy, they risked dying as well.

Being asked to be an attendant for this ritual was considered a tremendous honor among Luxans.

The Rite of Passing is derived from *Farscape*.
Yondalao

Hierarch **Yondalao** was one of the Eidelons serving as a priest at the Temple of Arnessk. Like the others, he became locked in time for 1,200 cycles by the activation of the Darnaz Triangle. It was through the actions of John Crichton that he and the other priests were reawakened.

When the Peacekeeper/Scarran War began, and the crew of *Moya* learned of the pacificistic abilities of the Arnessk Eidelons, they brought Pikal from Qujaga to learn the lost power. Yondalao was hesitant, but finally agreed. Unfortunately, it was only a short time before the Scarrans moved to attack the planet. Yondalao fled from the attack, intending to go aboard *Moya* in order to continue instructing Pikal.

Instead, the Scarrans captured the transport pod -- and Yondalao with it. Knowing he would need to get a better understanding of this species, unfamiliar to him, he asked Stark to help him. While in captivity, and growing acclimated to the minds of Scarrans, Yondalao explained the origins of the Sebaceans to Aeryn Sun.

Yondalao began using his abilities -- drafting a peace agreement that Emperor Staleek could agree to. In the midst of the negotiation, however, War Minister Ahkna killed the ancient Eidelon. Stark aided Yondalao in passing into death, ultimately allowing Stark to absorb the psionic, peace-making ability.

Zenetans

The **Zenetans** are a humanoid species from the planet Zenet in the Uncharted Territories, though they vary wildly from most of the other humanoid species of the Milky Way. There is little differentiation between males and females -- in fact, androgyny seems to be the norm and even Zenetans can become confused about their own genders. In order to continue the species, Zenetans have developed an ability to secrete pheromones that only another Zenetan can detect.

Zenetans are a spacefaring race, who primarily work as merchants and traders. Zenetans have a close-knit society that values hard work. There is seen to be little room for improvement in Zenetan society, and as such the society has largely stagnated. Nevertheless, most Zenetans are totally content.

A small portion of the species has broken off and formed the fearsome space marauders known as the Zenetan Pirates. Zenetan pirates are distinguishable from other Zenetans by their facial tattoos.
T'raltixx

**T'raltixx** was a deceitful, malevolent alien of an unknown species from the Uncharted Territories. He was blind, but his other senses were suitably enhanced that he could function as though he had natural eyesight. He was able to project dangerous beams of light from the place on his face where a humanoid's eyes would have been.

T'raltixx boarded *Moya* under the guise of helping adjust her natural electromagentics so that she would be undetectable on the sensors of other ships. He claimed that this modification needed to be completed by the installation of a device that he could install on his home planet. He instructed Pilot to guide *Moya* through the Five Pulsars to reach his world. During the journey, *Moya*'s crew began acting bizarrely -- a side effect of the Five Pulsars, T'raltixx claimed. In truth, it was his influence. He manipulated the crew into turning on each other while he convinced Pilot to help him increase *Moya*'s bio-luminescence in order to increase his own power.

Ultimately, the crew realized the threat they faced and sent John Crichton -- the least effected because of his inefficient human eyesight -- to battle T'raltixx. During the confrontation, T'raltixx claimed his people would find another Leviathan biomechanoid to use, and would spread across the galaxy like a plague. Crichton ignored this, and slew T'raltixx with Ka D'Argo's qualta blade.
Tarnat

**Tarnat** was an Interion researcher, involved in studying the Eidelons on Arnessk. He was a close associate of Vella, and developed a friendship with Jool. He was deeply mistrustful of John Crichton when he arrived on Arnessk, mostly for his close appearance to a Sebacean.

Although his suspicions were incorrect, Tarnat's fear of the Peacekeepers was not unfounded. While searching for the Darnaz probes with Crichton, he and Crichton were ambushed by Peacekeepers and Tarnat was killed.
Sundance

"**Sundance**" was an alias given to Aeryn Sun by John Crichton, who was himself posing as Butch Crichton, while the two were on Dam-Ba-Da. They posed as bounty hunters in order to keep Rorf and Rorg, the Vorcarian Blood Trackers, from realizing that they were actually wanted fugitives.

The names Crichton had chosen were references to *Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid*.
Ventaxians

The **Ventaxians** were a humanoid species, externally indistinguishable from humans or Sebaceans, that developed on the planet Ventax II. Their early developed leaned heavily into an industrialized society -- however, in the 24th century, their culture embraced an agragarian culture. They no longer sought to develop advanced technology, but virtually all of their societal problems vanished as well. These problems had included overcrowded city-states, which constantly warred with each other, as well as pollution, disease epidemics, and even rampant starvation.

Ventaxian legend held that their leaders signed into an agreement with the mythological figure called Ardra. The Contract of Ardra stipulated that she would grant them 1,000 cycles of peace and prosperity -- at the end of which, the Ventaxian people would become her slaves. This deal became a cornerstone of Ventaxian culture, and it was considered bad luck to even speak Ardra's name.

The planet unified under this Contract, creating a constitution that was ratified by the Ventaxian people. Weapons were destroyed, initiatives to purify both the water and the atmosphere of the planet began, and ecologically sound methods of waste disposal were implemented. The Contract of Ardra itself was kept in a vault beneath the Atheneum -- which also housed the new unified government. Outside of theologians, the Contract was mostly ignored for the better part of a millenium.

During these thousand years of peace, the Ventaxians made first contact with the Klingon Empire -- Klingons stayed on the planet long enough to help build residences and to become involved in a length legal dispute over one such construction -- and with the United Federation of Planets. Federation anthropologists, led by Dr. Howard Clark, were permitted to study the Ventaxian culture. Despite awareness of spacefaring species, the Ventaxians showed no desire or inclination to explore beyond their planet or in developing advanced technology.

In the middle of the 34th century, Ventaxians leaders -- primarily Acost Jared -- became increasingly concerned that the Contract of Ardra was soon to come due. In 3367 CE, tremors began and some members of the Ventaxian populace began experiencing visions -- both of which were taken as omens of Ardra's return and led to rioting. These riots led to a hostage situation at the Federation science station on the planet, and so the USS *Enterprise*-D arrived to intervene. At about the same time an entity claiming to be Ardra also arrived to collect her due.

In truth, this "Ardra" was a con artist who had studied the myths of the Ventaxians and used advanced technology, controlled by an implant, to produce her god-like "magic." When Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Geordi LaForge were able to prove this and replicate her abilities, the Contract of Ardra was proclaimed dissolved.

Vaadwaur

The **Vaadwaur** were a humanoid species originating in the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way.

## Physiology

The most notable feature of Vaadwaur physiology was the neck ridges, which ran from just below their ears along the sides of their neck, and then curling in towards the center of their chests. This gave them an appearance not unlike the cobras found on Earth. They also had a fin-like ridge running from their forehead backwards on their head -- widening, and ending, at just about their hairline. A smaller ridge ran under their chin.

## History

The Vaadwaur discovered and mapped the Underspace during the 25th century. This allowed them to travel virtually everywhere in the Delta Quadrant in and instant. They used this ability to conquer, wiping out colonies of other species such as the Talax-ilzay.

Eventually, several species of the Delta Quadrant formed a coalition against the Vaadwaur. This group, led by the Turei, unleashed an orbital bombardment on the Vaadwaur homeworld. This decimation was believed to have eradicated the Vaadwaur threat. Unbeknownst to these assailants, however, a battalion of 600 Vaadwaur survived the attack underground, in stasis. The Vaadwaur believed the coalition would quickly fall apart and after only five cycles they could reclaim what the Underspace and enact vengeance. A malfunction left them in stasis for considerably longer.

In 3376 CE, the slumbering Vaadwaur were finally awakened from stasis by the crew of the USS *Voyager*. The crew worked towards finding the Vaadwaur a new planet on which to rebuild their civilization -- however, the Vaadwaur had not lost any of their ambition and sought to reclaim their lost territory from the Borg and the Devore Imperium. The Vaadwaur attempted to take over *Voyager* -- although they did not succeed, fifty-three Vaadwaur ships escaped into the Underspace for parts unknown.

The Vaadwaur are derived from *Star Trek*.
Time Tear Goggles

**Time tear goggles** were an advanced technology that allowed the wearer to actually witness historical events. These were popular at memorials and historical sites within the Uncharted Territories, including the Jocacean Memorial Planet.

However, interacting with the powerful energies of a stykera caused the temporal effects of the goggles to expand -- creating rifts in time itself. When Stark wore a pair of time tear googles at the Jocacean Memorial Planet, he and several members of the crew of *Moya* accidentally time traveled to the historic battle and tragically altered its outcome.
