Pilots (species)

Though renowned specifically for their bonds with Leviathan biomechanoids, the species colloquially known as "**Pilots**" existed separately from the living ships. These unique creatures originated from the planet Doien, and were only capable of space travel if they bonded with a Leviathan.

Pilots were very practical, and may have intentionally been bred that way by Peacekeepers. They had large heads, protected by exoskeletal plates, which housed their brains -- possibly the most unique part of the Pilot, as it was able to function like a sophisticated computer, handling a vast multitude of tasks simultaneously. Due to the complexity of their brains, Pilots were immune to Nebari Mind Cleansing. Pilots also had four arms, which were capable of regenerating if severed.

Pilots spoke in a very complex, ancient language which was capable of conveying incredibly complicated emotions, inflections, and meanings in just a few words. This language was too complex for translator microbes, but Pilots were able to learn to speak in and understand other languages -- even those that translator microbes could not comprehend. Their mother tongue, however, was able to be understood by the Diagnostic Repair Droids of Leviathans.

## Bond with Leviathans

Pilots and Leviathan biomechanoids had coexisted symbiotically for the entirety of recorded history. Unable to travel off their world without a Leviathan, it was believed that another spacefaring species must have first introduced the two species. This was likely initially done by the Builders, but later in history Pilots would be brought to their ships by Relgarians or Peacekeepers.

Naturally bonding with a Leviathan took a significant amount of time, though a faster artificial version of bonding existed. Artificially bonding with a Leviathan left both the ship and the Pilot in a permanent state of excruciating pain.

Unbonded Pilots lived exponentially longer than Leviathans -- however, bonding with a Leviathan inextricably tied a Pilot to its Leviathan and two would live and die together. The shortened lifespan, however, came with many advantages. The Leviathan biomechanoid maintained the health and well-being of its Pilot. There was the added freedom of being able to travel the galaxy, as well.

Pilots could communicate with their Leviathan through a control panel, but also telepathically. They were able to understand the Leviathan through an empathic extension of this ability -- sensing not only the Leviathan's feelings, but plans and thoughts.

Not all Pilots were permitted to bond with Leviathans. On Doien, a council of elders chose which Pilots were eligible.

Rules of Acquisition

The **Rules of Acquisition** were a numbered list of rules and guidelines that were the foundation of business philosophy for the Ferengi. They were first written by Gint, the first Grand Nagus, but rules were continuously added thereafter. Theoretically, every business transaction a Ferengi entered into was meant to follow all of the rules.

Grand Nagus Zek briefly revised the Rules to promote honesty and charity, after having his state of mind altered by the Bajoran Prophets. When he recovered, all of the revised copies of the Rules were destroyed by his order.

Reckoning Tablet

The **Reckoning Tablet** was an ancient Bajoran artifact, dated to approximately 29,000 BCE. It was discovered by archaeologists beneath the city of B'hala on Bajor in 3374 CE.

The tablet was inscribed in an ancient language, with an early version of the Bajoran symbol. The tablet was difficult to translate, but one phrase was immediately apparent: "*Welcome Emissary.*"

Captain Benjamin Sisko, the Emissary of the Prophets, had the tablet brought to Deep Space 9 so that he and Jadzia Dax -- his science officer -- could translate the tablet. They managed to decipher a couple more sentences:

* "*The time of reckoning is at hand! The Prophets will weep. Their sorrow will consume the gateway to the temple.*"
* "*During the Reckoning, the Bajoran people will suffer horribly/eat fruit.*" (The symbols for "eat fruit" and "suffer horribly" were apparently indistinguishable from each other.)

Despite their progress (slow as it was), Kai Winn and First Minister Shakaar Edon demanded the tablet be returned to Bajor. Frustrated, Sisko smashed the tablet against a wall -- shattering it and releasing a Prophet and a Pah-Wraith that had been trapped within.

Qo'noS

**Qo'noS** (sometimes spelled as "**Q'onoS**" or, in English, transliterated to "**Kronos**"), also occasionally known as "**Kling**", was the homeworld of the Klingons. It was a class M planet, located in Sector 70 (the Qo'noS Sector) in the Beta Quadrant. It was the only planet of the Qo'noS system.

Qo'noS was the capital of the Klingon Empire, and the seat of the Klingon High Council. Despite the generally xenophobic nature of the Klingons, a small piece of land was owned by Orions and served as an "embassy outpost" in 3250's where many other species could be found. Outside of this area, the entire population of the planet was Klingon.

## Planetary Characteristics

The planet was often described as a "planet of caves", with a series of volcanic tunnels that existed under much of the planet's surface. The planet would go through long periods of volcanic inactivity, though it would become active unpredictably.

The upper atmopshere of Qo'noS was extremely dense, which prevented the United Federation of Planets from conducting long range scans of the planet's surface. The weather of the planet was wildly unpredictable and thunderstorms were frequent occurences.

Qo'noS had one natural satellite -- Praxis -- until the moon exploded in 3293 CE in an accident involving over-mining, significantly damaging the ozone layer of the planet.

## Alternate Realities

### Mirror Universe

In the Mirror Universe, Qo'noS was rendered totally uninhabitable by the ruler of the Terran Empire, Emperor Phillipa Georgiou, who detonated a hydro bomb in the volcanic vents of the planet.

### Kelvin Timeline

In this timeline, Praxis had been destroyed by 3259 CE. The explosion had damaged the surface of the planet.

### Confederation Timeline

In the alternate timeline where the Confederation of Earth existed, General Jean-Luc Picard unleashed a bioengineered virus on the planet, wiping out all life there.

The Warp

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

Warp space was 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 allowed 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 passed, however, the Warp grew ever more chaotic and dangerous.

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

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.

Sykarans

**Sykarans** were a humanoid species distantly related to Sebaceans, native to the planet Sykar in the Uncharted Territories of the Delta Quadrant. Although the primary crop grown on their planet was tannot root, which was traded with the Peacekeepers, Sykarans themselves were turned into little more than mindless drones if they consumed the root. These effects could be countered if a Sykaran was host to a Sykaran worm.

Sky Spirits

"**Sky Spirits**" was the name used by the Rubber Tree People tribe of Native American humans to describe an alien species that visited Earth around 41,600 BCE. They were a highly advanced species, capable of altering weather conditions to create storms or cyclones at will. They were able to hide their populace with a cloaking device, and used universal translators. Above all else, however, the Sky Spirits valued the land and all of their technology worked in harmony with nature.

The Sky Spirits also seemed to possess extraordinary abilities of their own. They were able to share memories with other sapient beings with just a touch. In doing so they could also store a genetic memory within a family line that could last for thousands of years.

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, stirred by the psychic emanations from the awakening Khala in the protoss of Aiur. 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.

Peldor Festival

The **Gratitude Festival**, also called the **Peldor Festival**, was an important annual holiday to the Bajoran people.

## Traditions

During the festival, it was traditional for celebrants to greet each other by saying "*peldor joi*."

As part of the celebration, participants would write their problems on renewal scrolls, which would be burned to symbolically turn their problems to ash. They would also burn bateret leaves.

## History

The Gratitude Festival could be traced as far back as 16,600 BCE.

In 3369 CE, the space station Deep Space 9 began holding celebrations for the holiday. On their third annual celebration, Major Kira Nerys was named the Presider of the Festival.

In 3374 CE, at the request of the Emissary of the Prophets Benjamin Sisko, the official Festival was held on Deep Space 9 instead of on Bajor.

Sarpeidon

**Sarpeidon** was the only planet orbiting the star Beta Niobe. It was a Class M planet, and was inhabited.

Much of their history seemed similar to that of Earth, in a near example of the theory of Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development. They had experienced an extended ice age, which began around 1,700 BCE. Over the centuries, an ethnic group called the Anglos had developed and led their people into an age of paranoia and witch trials. Much later in the planet's history, it was ruled over by a tyrant named Zor Kahn.

The natives of Sarpeidon had never experimented with space travel -- likely due to the lack of other planets in their vicinity. Instead, they had developed advanced time travel technology. They could create time portals using a device called the atavachron. The planet's ice age became a prison for criminals.

In 3269 CE, Beta Niobe went supernova. In the hours before this occurred, the population of the planet escaped from the destruction by traveling to various points in the planet's history. The USS *Enterprise* arrived to warn the population but discovered that they had already saved themselves in this manner.

Q (species)

The **Q** were a species of virtually omnipotent beings, inhabiting and forming the Q Continuum. How the Q came to exist is unknown, they may have always existed or have evolved over countless centuries.

The Q came to believe that they had done and experienced everything in existence. Most Q had an apthetic attitude towards the multiverse. This left the majority of them with an empty feeling. Occasionally, some Q would interact with "lesser" beings in order to find things to experience. Others interacted with these beings simply to alleviate boredom. These interactions could be malicious, whether intentionally or not, and often defied the known laws of physics.

The full range of abilities available to Q is unknown. Q were able to manipulate time and space with seemingly no limitations. They could grant their powers to others, and just as easily revoke them -- able to change any other being into whatever species the Q desired. They could also physically alter other beings by removing or adding body parts or changing their age. They were able to control technology with their minds.

United Federation of Planets

The **United Federation of Planets** (sometimes abbreviated as the **UFP** or referred to simply as the **Federation**) was an interstellar union comprised of myriad planetary constituents, led by a single central government. The primary values of the Federation were liberty, equality, peace, and justice with the intent of furthering the universal rights of all sapient lifeforms of the Milky Way. Members cooperated with the sharing of scientific developments, space exploration, resources, and military defense.

The United Federation of Planets was founded by five constituent states -- humans of United Earth and of the Alpha Centauri Concordium of Planets, Vulcans of the Confederacy of Surak, Tellarites of the United Planets of Tellar, and Andorians of the Andorian Empire -- following the collapse of the Citadel Council, the development of warp drives on Earth, and the looming threat of the Romulan Star Empire. It grew to become on of the most powerful interstellar governments in galactic history, with hundreds of member states and thousands of planets.

The Federation's territory was primarily along the border of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, growing to be a major influence in both regions of space. The core of Federation territory was on the Orion Arm. At its height, Federation territory was roughly 8,000 square light years of space.

## Government

The Federation's goverment was, at its height, seated at Earth and resembled the federal constitutional republics of that planet's history. There was an executive branch, headed by the democratically-elected Federation President who was the head of state and head of government, ruled over foreign policies, and was supreme commander of the Federation's military forces.

Meanwhile, the Federation Council and Federation Central made up the legislative branch of government. Each of the member worlds had representatives on the council, the primary responsibility of which was to create laws. They also held influence over Starfleet, able to hold court martials. They could also direct the military and humanitarian services that Starfleet provided, if they did not overrule the Federation President.

Finally, the judiciary branch of the government was represented by a series of courts, the most powerful of which was the Federation Supreme Court.

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, accidental 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.

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 species 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 cycles 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.

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

Wright brothers

The **Wright Brothers** were considered the fathers of aviation by the humans of Earth. They were the first humans to achieve fliht in a motor-operated, heavier-than-air aircraft.

**Wilbur Wright** was born on August 16, 1867 CE. **Orville Wright** was born on August 19, 1871 CE, the younger brother of Wilbur Wright. The two became the first humans to achieve flight in a motor-operated aircraft, which they had named the *Wright Flyer*. This historic flight took place in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on Earth on December 17, 1903 CE. Over the following years, they made various improvements to their invention. Wilbur died of typhoid fever on May 30, 1912 CE. Orville had a heart attack that claimed his life on January 30, 1948 CE.

Their accomplishments would go on to be remembered by humanity for centuries to come, held in high esteem by both pilots like Tom Paris and scientists like Paul Stamets. The USS *Orville* would be named after the younger brother in the 35th century.

The Waters

**The Waters** was the name given to a unique planet in the Delta Quadrant by the Moneans. The planet was composed almost entirely of water, with a radius of 600 kilometers. It contained more water than the entirety of Earth's oceans. The planet hosted complex life, including a gigantic creature resembling an electric eel.

The Moneans discovered the planet in the 31st century and had colonized it. The clergy of their culture believed that the Waters was a gift given to them by divine entities, whereas their scientists believed that the planet had formed naturally like a gas giant.

By 3375 CE, the population of Moneans living on the Waters was over 80,000. By that year, the containment field which held the planetoid together had begun to degrade, with predictions that it would dissipate completely by 3380 CE. The crew of the USS *Voyager* was able to discern the cause -- and the true origin of the planet. Around 100,000 BCE the population of a terrestrial planet had transferred all of the oceans -- and everything in them -- off world and held them in that containment field. The process had taken close to 200 cycles. The oxygen replication technology used by the Moneans was increasing the density of the water, and so the field reactor was being crushed -- it was diverting energy from the containment field to its own structural integrity field.

The Monean Maritime Sovereignty initially refused to make the drastic changes necessary to preserve their planet. Whether or not that continued as their world continued to be at risk is unknown.

Subspace Communication Network

A **subspace relay 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 over immense distances. 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.

Talaxians

**Talaxians** (Borg designation **Species 218**) were a humanoid species hailing from the planet Talax the Delta Quadrant.

## Physiology

Talaxians were humanoids with reddish and yellowish patches of skin in patterns across their arms, legs, heads and bodies. Other than these patches, they had pale skin. They had ginger hair which sprouted from their heads. Males also grew whiskers on the sides of their faces -- tugging on these whiskers was pleasurable.

The top of the chest was notable for a distinctive Y-shaped bone ridge. They were typically short and stocky when compared to other humanoid species. The Borg believed their structure made them ideal drones.

Talaxian feet were spotted with reddish and yellowish patches of skin. They had long toes, with the toes on either side of the foot being longer and larger than the other toes.

The respiratory system of a Talaxian was linked to their spinal cords in more than one location. Talaxians notably had two spinal columns. Between these two factors, their lungs were remarkably complicated organs when compared to other humanoid lifeforms. Their vocal cords, however, were not capable of producing diatonic tones -- rendering the species incapable of singing, though they still attempted to on occasion.

## History

Ancient Talaxians, calling themselves the **Talax'ilzay** were contacted the Vaadwaur -- leaving their language with a new word, *vaadwaur* meaning "foolish," "weak-minded," "blind," or "reckless." This encounter was otherwise mostly forgotten in Talaxian history.

In 3356 CE, the Talaxians lost a war against the Haakonian Order, with many Talaxians fleeing their home planet and becoming refugees spread across the Delta Quadrant.

Phoebe

**Phoebe** was one of the moons of Saturn, a small ice moon with an irregular orbit. It was believed that it was originally a hot object that cooled and was struck by multiple impacts from other object, which led to its heavily cratered shape. It was also believed that it was an extrasolar object that became caught in Saturn's orbit -- which was eventually confirmed after the discovery of the protomolecule by Martian Congressional Republic surveyors in 2284 CE during the first manned landing on the moon.

Protogen scientists began experimenting with the protomolecule. They established labs at Phoebe Station, which were manned by both Protogen and Martian scientists. As the Protogen team laid the groundwork for their experiment on Eros, they intentionally locked the Martian researchers in a room, exposed them to the protomolecule, and observed its effects on humans. Afterwards, they burned the bodies and abandoned Phoebe -- taking their work to Thoth Station.

After Thoth Station was taken over by Outer Planets Alliances forces, the UNN *Nathan Hale* and the MCRN *Sirocco* both made their way towards Phoebe. With the *Nathan Hale* making a hard burn for the station, the *Sirocco* launched five missiles at the moon -- destroying it completely. The fragments of Phoebe fell into Saturn.

Yautja

The **Yautja**, sometimes called **Predators** or **Hunters**, were a humanoid species with advanced weaponry whose culture revolved around finding challenging prey to hunt for sport and to acquire trophies.

Yautja were a cousin species to Nausicaans and the Kradin.

## Physiology

Yautja were much larger than average humanoids. Their skin color was often pale -- a pasty yellow, sometimes mottled with black psots. Their eyes were most often yellow or green in color. Growths from their head seemed somewhat hairlike, and were often equated to human dreadlocks. The most notable feature of the Yautja, however, were is four mandibles protruding from their face, extending around a relatively small mouth full of razor sharp teeth. These mandibles were used for communication when Yatuja chose not to communicate through their language -- consisting of growls, clicks, and chirps when untranslated. Yatuja were also capable of communicating by mimicking the vocal patterns of other species.

Yautja were very strong, and fast, compared to the average human. Their bodies were almost entirely muscle, with virtually no bodyfat. Despite these advantages, Yautja did not possess senses greater than the average human, and so used technology to heighten their senses.

Yautja blood was bright green with phosphorescent qualities.

## Culture

### The Hunt

The hunt is the primary objective for Yautja, particularly the males. They prefer a greater challenge in their prey, therefore opting to hunt other predators such as humans or xenomorphs.

Slaver Empire

The **Slaver Empire** was a major galactic empire, which used the mass relays to conquer most of the Milky Way. They were undisputed rulers of most of the sapient species of the galaxy around 1,000,000,000 BCE. One species the Slavers had subjugated revolted -- which began a cataclysmic war.

In the midst of that war, the Reapers invaded from the Citadel. Ultimately, most of the sapient life of the galaxy was eradicated. Due to the devastation of the ongoing war, however, several artifacts remained left behind in stasis boxes after the Reapers left.

World War II

**World War II** was the second of Earth's global conflicts of the 20th century. Numerous nations of the planet were involved in this battle, which led to the deaths of millions of humans.

This war was a tremendous turning point in the history of the planet, and the human species as a whole. As such, the Na'kuhl time traveled to this time and attempted to help the forces of Nazi Germany to win the conflict, as part of the Temporal Cold War. Ultimately, this timeline was prevented when the *Enterprise* NX-01 destroyed the temporal conduit the Na'kuhl were constructing.

When a time-displaced Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy saved the life of Edith Keeler, it prevented the United States of America from entering the war -- creating an alternate future in which the United Federation of Planets did not exist. This timeline was prevented thanks to the efforts of Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock.

The war, though tragic, led to the creation of the United Nations.

The **Stone of Gol** was a a powerful psionic resonator that was first created during the wars that nearly destroyed the planet Vulcan before the Time of Awakening. It was able to amplify and focus telepathic energies, targeting violent thoughts and emotions and reflecting them back upon whomever held them. Though the weapon was originally quite deadly to Vulcans, once Surak began teaching emotional suppression it became useless against him and his followers.

As it fell out of favor, it eventually came to be viewed as little more than a myth -- though some ancient relics still told of it. One stone, etched in glyphs from an ancient Vulcan language, specifically warned that peace could defeat the Stone. Legends eventually spread that the Stone had been destroyed by Vulcan deities. The truth, however, was that the weapon had merely been split into three pieces.

In 3369 CE, the first of these fragments was stolen by members of the Vulcan Isolationist Movement. They hired mercenaries to obtain the other two fragments. To prevent the reconstruction of the weapon, Captain Jean-Luc Picard infiltrated one mercenary crew -- from within he was able to locate all three pieces. However, the crew had also been infiltrated by one of the Isolationists who had been posing as a Romulan -- T'Paal. She reassembled the resonator and used it against the mercenaries. Picard, however, had deduced how to withstand the weapon and defeat it.

After defeat T'Paal, Minister Satok of the V'Shar took the device and promised it would be destroyed.

Sigma Draconis VI

**Sigma Draconis VI** was the sixth planet of the Sigma Draconis system in the Alpha Quadrant, 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.

Sebaceans

**Sebaceans** were one of the most prevalent species of the region of space surrounding the Uncharted Territories in the Delta Quadrant. They were humanoid and were, in fact, almost indistinguishable from humans at first glance.

In truth, Sebaceans were engineered from humans by the Eidelons, to serve as their protectors. As a result, Sebaceans were slightly stronger than humans and had better senses -- especially eyesight. However, Sebaceans were far less resilient to heat and could suffer from Sebacean Heat Delirium -- which could lead to a catatonic state known as the Living Death. Whereas humans had a complex, redundant system to filter out toxins, including two kidneys, Sebaceans had a single organ called the paraphoral nerve. If this was damaged, it needed to be repaired through synthesized tissue or by taking one from an organ donor.

Humans and Sebaceans were closely related enough to breed -- though this is partly because, like humans, Sebaceans were able to breed with a multitude of humanoid races. Genetic experimentation even allowed Scarrans to create a Sebacean-Scarran Hybrid, and allowed the scientist NamTar to splice the DNA of a Pilot to a living Sebacean.

Unlike humans, a Sebacean female was capable of holding a fertilized egg in stasis within her body for up to seven cycles. Sebacean pregnancies also progressed much more rapidly than human pregnancies.

Most of the Sebacean species was loyal to the Peacekeepers -- however, some had formed peaceful, non-military colonies throughout the Delta Quadrant.

Purity of form

**Purity of Form** was a concept that was extremely important to the culture of the xel'naga. Purity of form described the immense psionic potential of a species. This concept was one of the criteria the xel'naga used to determine one of the species they would grant their essence to in order to renew their life cycle -- with the other being Purity of Essence.

During the last life cycle of the xel'naga, renegade xel'naga led by Amon discovered the protoss and deemed that they had the potential for Purity of Form. Rather than allowing the species to naturally develop -- as was required -- Amon and his followers uplifted the protoss. Eventually, the psionic bond that the protoss shared between them broke. The protoss were considered a failure, the xel'naga left and the Aeon of Strife began.

Protostars

**Protostars** were stars still gathering mass from the molecular cloud, while nuclear fusion had just begun at its core. This was a very early stage in the formation of a star. They formed when a molecular cloud first collapsed from the force of its own gravity.

Althought protostars were relatively rare, they could be observed in their formation even many billions of years into the history of the universe. The *Enterprise* NX-01 surveyed a protostar in 3151 CE.

Warp gates

**Warp gates** were artificially created structures in the Prime Reality which opened into the Warp and allowed for nearly instant travel from one location to another Gate. The first Warp Gates in existence were a mystery -- and some have argued that they were actually natural phenomenon. It was known, however, that other warp gates had 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, used an entirely different technological system to allow for similar effects but were likely based on warp gate technology.

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

Warp gates were preset to open another warp gate -- however, when a warp gate was first discovered, where it opened to was unknown until someone passed through it. Unfortunately, some warp gates were destroyed, and others had been damaged. In such cases, wat is entirely possible for the warp gate to deposit someone deep inside Warpspace with no real way to return to the Materium.

Red Markers

**Red Markers** were artificially constructed copies of a Black Marker, made by the native population of a planet through reverse-engineering the original Black Marker. Those constructing them believed they were doing so to harvest nearly limitless natural energy. However, the drive to build Red Markers was the influence of the Black Marker at work.

The Red Markers emitted their own signals, which most organic minds could not fully or correctly interpret. Only a small handful would be able to properly understand the signals, and they would become speakers for the Markers. Some organic, sapient beings would see hallucinations of their loved ones, whereas others would simply hear unintelligible noises and images in their minds. The signal would make an organic mind paranoid. As this paranoia would spread, and the organic beings of a planet would begin to slaughter one another, the signals emitted by the Markers reanimated dead organic cells, giving rise to Necromorphs. However, these signals also prevented Necromorphs from approaching the Red Markers -- creating a safe place for anyone that was necessary for the remaining stages of the Marker's purpose. These signals could be emitted by even the smallest shards of a Red Marker, so merely breaking them had little effect.

Eventually, with enough organic matter having been converted into Necromorphs, even a single Red Marker could trigger a Convergence Event. This could be triggered sooner by the presence of multiple Red Markers.

Saturn

**Saturn** (or **Sol VI**) was a ringed gas giant that was the sixth planet from Sol, the star in the Sol system, also orbited by at least 150 natural satellites. It was the second largest planet in the system, dwarfed only by Jupiter.

The rings were made primarily of ice, which was harvested during the beginning era of human space travel in order to provide water for the colonists in the Asteroid Belt. This was primarily handled by corporations such as the Pur'n'Kleen Water Company.

Saturn was also found to be a source for helium-3, used to fuel fusion plants.
