Dominion

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

## History

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

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

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

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

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

## Government

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

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

### Members

The species and organizations included in the Dominion included:

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

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

Douglas Logan

**Douglas Logan** was a replica of the Hynerian Rygel XVI who appeared in a Scarran-created simulation of Earth, used to break John Crichton's mind. In this simulation, Douglas Logan was the head of the Farscape Project and was very displeased that Crichton had crashed *Farscape-1*. Though he attempted to have a very serious meeting with Crichton on the subject, Crichton reacted anything but seriously.

After Crichton left the meeting, Logan tried to catch up to him. Instead, Crichton picked him up and threw him out of the parking garage -- seemingly killing him. Logan later reappeared, alive and well, in his office.

As the simulation began to unravel further, Logan appeared once more -- in a BDSM outfit, whipping Crichton.

Douglas Logan appears in one episode of *Farscape*.
House of Ishida

The **House of Ishida** was the ruling family of the Principality of Zairon for several generations.

Following the assassination of Ishida Tetsuya, the House of Ishida underwent a great deal of turmoil and strife. Ultimately, this led to the ruin of the once great family while under the leadership of Ryo Ishida.

Helium Flatulence

**Helium flatulence** is a natural, biological function that occurs when Hynerians are angry or nervous. As the name suggests, in these emotional conditions, a Hynerian will fart helium. Other species in the atmosphere will be affected, with the pitch of their voices becoming much higher.

Decimator

The ***Decimator*** was the flagship of Scarran Empire, and the personal warship of Emperor Staleek. The *Decimator* led the emperor's personal vanguard, and served as a mobile command center during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War.

The *Decimator* was faster than any other ship in the Scarran fleet -- including dreadnoughts and strykers. It was armed with missiles, including nuclear warheads. Its defenses were capable of withstanding an assault from a Peacekeeper Command Carrier, but did have several vulnerable locations near its aft section. Direct hits to these areas could disable the ship in as few as three hits. The *Decimator* was smaller than a command carrier, but formidable in appearance -- three blade-like protrusions that surround the forward sections of the ship and give it a fearsome look.

The *Decimator* was reponsible for the destruction of the Eidelon temple on Arnessk, leveling it through use of a nuclear missile. After this, they took the crew of *Moya* and its prisoners captive. A team of Luxans managed to board the warship and free them before any information could truly be gleaned from the Scarran interrogations. *Moya* managed to escape -- but the *Decimator* would encounter her again before long, over the surface of Qujaga. The *Decimator* engaged in combat with Peacekeepers over the water planet, until John Crichton used a wormhole weapon to force Staleek to agree to the end the war. The *Decimator* survived the war and was presumably still in comission for some time afterwards.
Fek'lhri

The **Fek'Ihri** were an army that opposed Kahless the Unforgettable during his construction of the Klingon Empire, and aligned themselves with Molor. Though legends about them are unclear, it is likely they had something to do with the mythical demon Fek'Ihr.

Grand Nagus

The **Grand Nagus** is the leader of the Ferengi Alliance, both politically and economically. Nearly all decisions with an impact on the Ferengi needed to be approved by the Grand Nagus, who was aided in these matters by the Bill of Opportunities and the Board of Liquidators. The Grand Nagus even had the authority to overrule the Ferengi Commerce Authority, especially in decisions regarding the revocation of business licenses. If the Grand Nagus was unable or unwilling to handle a matter of importance, he was able to appoint a Grand Proxy to take his place. After Rom became Grand Nagus, the Congress of Economic Advisors was created and limited the Grand Nagus' power and influence.

The office of the Grand Nagus was located on Ferenginar in the Tower of Commerce. He presided over the Ferengi Alliance, responding to petitioners, from the Chamber of Opportunity. Petitioners had to pay their respects -- with a slip of gold-pressed latinum -- after which the First Clerk would summarize their request and the petitioner would await the Grand Nagus' decision.

The Grand Nagus always carried a staff that represented their position in Ferengi society. They also lived in the Nagal Residence.

Farscape Project

The **Farscape Project** was an experiment run by IASA under John Crichton and Douglas Knox. The project was to test the theory that a manned spacecraft might overcome atmospheric friction and exponentially increase its speed by using a planet's natural gravity, in an early example of the slingshot maneuver.

   In order to test this theory, John Crichton designed the *Farscape*-1 module. The module was launched in 1999 CE from Cape Canaveral, Florida. However, in the midst of the initial flight, a wormhole opened and swallowed the *Farscape*-1, depositing it on the other side of the Milky Way.

Crichton later used this essentially untested theory aboard *Moya* in order to evade capture by the Peacekeepers led by Captain Bialar Crais -- successfully proving his theory, although the data would not reach Earth until his brief return in 2003 CE.

Edith Anderson

Dr. **Edith Anderson** was a psychologist on Earth at the beginning of the 21st century. She was the acclaimed author of a book called "What Makes Us Tick: A Study of Evil".

After John Crichton's return to Earth, she spoke on the television program "Alien Visitation", believing that contact with aliens had brought about mostly bad consequences at that point. She believed that Ka D'Argo's statements that Earth lacked the capabilities to defend itself amounted to little more than psychological warfare -- she found Sikozu to be angry and aloof and though Chiana was deeply disturbed. She was most concerned, however, with John Crichton's mental health. She, correctly, believed he had been under continuous stress and diagnosed him with post-traumatic shock syndrome -- sometimes called PTSD.

Edith Anderson is a character from *Farscape*.
Grines

General **Grines** was a leader of the Venek Horde and was known to be compassionate. At the Battle of Madizak, he sought a peaceful end even though he was assured victory. In 1501 CE, he led the Venek Horde into battle against the Peacekeepers at the Jocacean Monastery. Realizing the monastery housed only women and children, Grines sought a peaceful end to that battle as well.

The arrival of the time traveling John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, Stark, Ka D'Argo, and Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis prevented this. Grines was injured by Peacekeepers and taken captive. When Crichton attempted to restore the timeline by helping Grines escape, a nurse caught them and killed Grines.

## Alternate Timeline

In an alternate timeline, unaffected by time travelers, Grines was successful and a peaceful resolution to the battle was reached. Grines would go down in history as a hero for this.
Gamma Trianguli VI

**Gamma Trianguli VI** is the sixth planet of the Gamma Trianguli system, the sector of the same name. It had very unique lifeforms native to it including both pod plants and Vaalians. The planet was considered a sort of paradise, with temperatures varying very little from the 76 degrees Farenheit average. The atmosphere was primarily oxygen and nitrogen, and filtered out all harmful radiation.

Around the year 9,000 BCE the computer Vaal had been constructed for reasons unknown. Vaal was able to control the planet and its inhabitants, and by 3267 CE Vaal was being worshipped as a god. It was believed the temperature had to be under the control of Vaal given its lack of variation.

Without Vaal the planet was still able to support a thriving ecosystem though it was considerably less of a paradise.

Deneans

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

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

After the Deneans developed interstellar flight they quickly discovered that the vast number of alien species active in their region of the galaxy. The Deneans were quick to join the Uncharted Alliance, gaining much by sharing resources and technology with their neighbors.

Halosians

The **Halosians** were a species of bipedal, vulture-like bloodthirsty aliens. They had small craniums, though a long sharp beak gave it a larger appearance. They had thin arms with clawed hands. They also possessed wings -- though were incapable of using them to fly. The nearly eight-foot span of these wings was likely once used to frighten off predators, but the wings are now vestigial. Halosians also possessed an acidic vomit that was mobile and was highly destructive.

Halosian society is built upon a caste system. It is possible, however, to move from one caste to another and therefore large swaths of Halosian society are obsessed with climbing the social ladder. The laws allowed a Halosian to "evolve" upwards to another caste by killing a certain number of enemies. The enemies in question did not need to be hostile. To this end, Halosian spacecrafts were equipped with a large array of energy weapons.

Halosian law also permitted mutinies against captains of spacefaring vessels. If a captain -- or other member of a higher caste -- failed, the crew could take charge of the vessel and evolve themselves to their commanding officer's caste.

## Notable Halosians

* Tak
* Yoz
Felor

**Felor** was a well known and respected trader on the planet Kanvia. Rygel XVI attempted to trade with her for chromextin, though she needed approval from the Security Director in order to give them the large amount of chromextin they required. When Ka D'Argo threw the Security Director into a wall, Felor withdrew her offer.
Freslin

**Freslin**, also called "**aura morph,**" is a valuable chemical concoction made, primarily, from the pheromones of sentient beings. Its effects vary depending on the potency, the quality, and the amount squeezed from the "livestock". The effects include blurred senses, feelings of ecstasy, and hallucinations.
Leslie Crichton

**Leslie McDougall Crichton** was the mother of John Crichton, Olivia Crichton, and Susan Crichton Coleman and the wife of Jack Crichton. She was a peacemaker in the family, though John felt that it was because of this she seldom stood up to Jack.

She enjoyed reading tarot cards as a hobby.

She died of a terminal illness in 1995 CE, the memory of which was deeply painful for her son.

Denea

**Denea** is a swampy Class M planet located within the Uncharted Territories, just outside of Peacekeeper Space. It is orbited by two natural satellites. As of the end of the Earth's 20th century, the Deneans were aware of the existence of other species within the Milky Way but had not yet encountered them.

The planet, however, was rich in clorium (or "onlux" as the Deneans call it) -- a useful agent for numbing Leviathans. Deneans made semi-official first contact with extraterrestrials when Moya and her crew hid on the planet in order to stop the paddac beacon attached to Moya's neural nexus from broadcasting its signal. Although the event was never made public, Lyneea and Fostro worked to prepare their people for future alien contact.

In truth, there were clear indications that aliens had visited the planet some time in its ancient past -- this could be determined by the presence of translator microbes in the planet's soil and atmosphere.

Denea appeared in *Farscape*'s first season.
Gilina Renaez

**Gilina Renaez** was a Peacekeeper technician, utilized primarily for maintenance. She was stationed aboard Bialar Crais' command carrier, and was sent with a team to the *Zelbinion* when its remnants were discovered in the Uncharted Territories. The rest of the team were killed by Sheyangs before Crais was able to return, Gilina managed to survive by hiding.

She was discovered there by Aeryn Sun and John Crichton. Gilina was immediately attracted to Crichton, though she viewed Aeryn as a traitor. When the Sheyangs returned, Gilina helped repair the *Zelbinion*'s defense screens and then helped to install them on *Moya*. Through this she came to respect Aeryn, and shared a kiss with Crichton.

After repelling the Sheyangs, Gilina was left back aboard the *Zelbinion* -- this was as much the crew's decision as hers, though she and Crichton were reluctant to part ways. This saved her from being labeled as irreversibly contaminated -- as had happened to Aeryn. She promised to withhold any knowledge of *Moya* from Crais when he returned.

True to her word, Gilina returned to Crais' command carrier and did not mention anything about *Moya* or her crew at all. Soon after, Gilina transferred from Crais' command carrier to the Gammak Base under Scorpius' command. It was here that she recognized Crichton when he and Chiana attempted to infiltrate the base. She helped him to get past the base's genetic screening test. After Crichton was apprehended, Gilina helped Chiana to safely escape the base but chose to stay behind rather than forsake her life as a Peacekeeper.

She then helped Crichton as he was interrogated with the Aurora Chair, by programming a false memory into it that showed Crais and Crichton striking a deal. After this, Gilina decided she would leave the base alongside Crichton. However, as she helped him to escape the base, Crichton was confronted by Scorpius. Gilina came to the rescue with a pulse rifle, but she was shot by Scorpius before she could fire.

Crichton helped bring the dying Gilina to *Moya*, where she confessed her love for him. Stark then used his abilities to help ease her passing.

Almost three cycles later, Gilina appeared in a virtual reality game designed from Crichton's memories.

Cleponji

The ***Cleponji*** was a Promellian battle cruiser. During the Promellian-Menthar War, the *Cleponji* was commanded by Captain Galek Sar. The *Cleponji* participated in the final battle of the war -- the Battle of Orelious IX, and was caught in an Aceton assimilator.

The trap drained the ship of all power for weapons or propulsion, preventing them from fighting back or fleeing the battle. The crew eventually died from radiation poisoning, leaving the ship perfectly preserved and intact within the asteroid remnants of Orelious IX.

In 3366 CE, the USS *Enterprise*-D discovered the *Cleponji* and -- after exploring it -- arranged to have it brought to a museum. However, the *Enterprise* became caught in the Aceton assmiliators as well and ultimately destroyed the *Cleponji* in order to prevent any other ships from falling into the trips.

Hezmana

"**Hezmana**" is an interjection found originally in the Luxan language. As it cannot be accurately translated by translator microbes, the word has spread into the languages of many cultures that have interacted with Luxans. The word itself is an expression of disgust or irritation, and is used as a noun that can replace the English word "Hell".

## Examples of Usage

* "Where the hezmana is that siren coming from?"
* "Like a barken out of Hezmana."
Gary Regal

**Gary Regal** was the version of Ka D'Argo that appeared in the Scarran-induced hallucination of Earth experienced by John Crichton. Gary Regal was the hottest new astronaut to IASA, who led a controversial lifestyle. He was highly flamboyant and claimed to have undergone surgery to give himself tentacles.

Gary attempted to befriend Crichon, while pursuing a romantic relationship with Dr. Bettina Fairchild. The duo introduced Crichton to an "astronaut groupie" named Jessica.

Later, Crichton encountered Gary -- who was dancing at the local bar.
Cryogenic Tubes

**Cryogenic tubes** were medical devices, used to freeze an individual in cryostasis. This slowed the body's natural processes, allowing them to exist -- alive, but comatose. They were frequently used by Diagnosans to freeze someone moments before their death, in order to preserve their organs for transplants.

Aeryn Sun was held in one for a period after her apparent death. Tocot also held a handful of Interions in cryogenic tubes, including Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis.

## Source

Cryogenic tubes are seen in episodes of *Farscape*.
Grudeks

**Grudeks** are a race found in the Scarran Empire, though they typically serve their own needs and rarely get involved in the politics of their governing regime. Grudeks are believed to be distant cousins on Klingons due to a number of cultural and physical similarities. Though grudeks lack the ridges on the forehead that their cousins bear, grudeks pierce their foreheads with sharp metal blades in order to denote their ranks in grudek society.

Though grudeks do not eat toubray tissue to increase their higher brain function, a large number of them make a living by hunting for Leviathan biomechanoids in order to harvest the neural clusters. These Leviathan hunters are ruthless -- their vessels ram into the Leviathans, breaching the outer hull and disabling most of the ship's systems. They then fumigate the vessel, in order to incapacitate and kill any surviving crew members. If any crew members survive even this and attempt to interfere, the Grudeks employ Brindz hounds to kill them. They then split into teams, searching the entire Leviathan for its first neural cluster -- which will have the richest toubray tissue.

One group of grudeks was known to have hired outside assistance. They hired a Kalish organization in order to find Leviathan travel routes. Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu, the Kalish given the task, instead found the location of the Sacred Leviathan Burial Space. However, due to the failure of this group -- and the rebellion of Sikozu -- no other grudeks are known to have found the space or hired such outside assistance.

## Notable Grudeks

* Nukana
Founders

The **Founders** were an ancient group of Changelings from the Gamma Quadrant. They mainly existed within the Great Link. The Founders created the Dominion, and reigned over all of its strategic decisions. Many races believed the Founders to be beings out of legend, and some of the subject species of the Dominion worshipped the Founders as deities.

## History

The Founders roamed through the Milky Way, exploring planets and seeking out other species so that they might expand their knowledge. The Founders had peaceful intentions, but were feared by many "solid" species. Many legends about changelings date back to this period -- stories about evil shapeshifters abound in the Gamma Quadrant's oldest species.

The Vorta bear one legend that tells a different story: they hid a changeling in one of their primitive forest dwellings, protecting it from an angry mob. In thanks, the changeling swore that they would become powerful beings helping to lead a vast galactic empire.

Eventually, the Founders discovered a rogue planet in the Omarion Nebula and chose here to settle and form the Great Link. Feeling that they could not be hurt by beings they controlled, the Founders began to guide the "solids" -- and, subsequently, broke them of their "love of freedom." They did, however, remember their promise to the Vorta and made them administrators, commanders, and civil servants. The Founders also genetically engineered the Jem'Hadar to act as their soldiers.

The Founders still wanted to explore the galaxy and so they sent out 100 infant changelings. These changelings were to explore, to learn, and then were genetically programmed to return to the Great Link around the 37th century. After Odo was discovered near the Bajoran wormhole, the Founders began to use their shapeshifting abilities infiltrate the political powers of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

This allowed them to become aware of the Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order -- who sought to strike the Dominion preemptively. The Founders relocated the Great Link to another world before the Battle of the Omarion Nebula, although all of the Romulan and Cardassian forces were eradicated.

It was, however, also because of these infiltrations that Odo was forced to kill one of the Founders. He was forced to return to the Great Link for judgment. In punishment, Odo was deprived of his shapeshifting abilities (until he merged with a terminally ill Founder some months later). Even after he had regained his abilities, the Dominion viewed him as a traitor for having killed a god.

In 3373 CE, the Founders launched an invasion of the Alpha Quadrant -- a full blown war erupted with the Dominion battling the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. Unbeknownst to the Founders, Section 31 predicted the war and had infected Odo with a virus when he had returned to the Great Link -- which was passed on to all of the Founders. A cure was created -- after the Dominion forced withdrew, the cure was given to a female Founder who was taken into custody. Odo returned to the Great Link in order to cure all of the changelings.

Falaak

Prefect **Falaak** was the leader of a planet that had only unified the clans that made up its society very recently. Falaak had a loose hold on the clans, and used the skills and abilities of E'Alet to keep them under his control.

When these unethical schemes unraveled thanks largely to John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, and the crew of *Moya*, Prefect Falaak killed himself.
Final Battle of the Zelbinion

The **final battle of the Zelbinion** was the last conflict the legendary Peacekeeper command carrier ever engaged in. It was a battle against the Nebari, who crippled and decimated the vessel. Captain Selto Durka had his crew abandon the ship in escape pods, but refused to surrender to his technologically superior foes and remained aboard. He was captured, and subsequently spent one hundred cycles being subjected to mind-cleansing.

The Final Battle of the Zelbinion is mentioned in *Farscape*.
Elann Crais

**Elann Crais** was the husband of Wimmah Crais and father of Bialar and Tauvo Crais. He was a farmer on Prybella. When his children were young, they were conscripted by the Peacekeepers. Elann charged his elder son Bialar with protecting and guiding Tauvo -- a moment that the entity Maldis would later use to drive Bialar into a frenzy against John Crichton. Elann grieved for his sons after they were taken, though he eventually was contracted to provide food for the Peacekeepers. Out of revenge for taking his children, Elann and his wife polluted the food so that offspring of Sebaceans who had eaten it would have disruptive genetic mutations.
Coreeshi

The **Coreeshi** are a fairly mysterious race comprised mostly of bounty hunters. The actual appearance of Coreeshi is unknown, as they are grafted into biomechanically engineered exoskeletons and cannot be removed from them except as an orange goo. It is theorized that Coreeshi are shapeless without the exoskeleton and that the orange goo is, in fact, their true form. The exoskeletons themselves are very powerful, able to withstand blasts from pulse weapons.

The Coreeshi developed shrinking technology well before any other species in the Delta Quadrant. Coreeshi bounty hunters use this technology to shrink their quarry and capture them in containers that can be held within their exoskeletons.

Peacekeepers sometimes employ Coreeshi bounty hunters.

Dreadnoughts (Scarran)

**Dreadnoughts** are enormous Scarran vessels, which act as the primary command ships of the Scarran Empire. They are almost twice the size of Peacekeeper Command Carriers, though they possess inferior firepower and can typically be overpowered in one engagement with Peacekeeper forces. They also house entire squadrons of Strykers.

Dreadnoughts, though capable of moving at faster-than-light speeds, are much slower than most other vessels -- even other Scarran vessels. This is largely due to their immense size.

Gammak Base

The **Gammak Base** was a heavily fortified and highly classified Peacekeeper research installation located on a moon in the Uncharted Territories, outside of Peacekeeper jurisdiction. It was, at the time of its destruction, under the command of Commander Tollona Javio with its scientific research led by Scorpius.

The research at this facility led to the development of memory extraction technology, most notably the Aurora Chair. The primary focus of the scientific exploration of this facility, however, was focused on wormholes and developing technology around them.

The base was infiltrated by John Crichton and Chiana, in an effort to procure tissue samples that would help Aeryn Sun heal from injuries. Though Chiana succeeded in evading capture and escaped with the necessary tissue samples, Crichton was less fortunate. His energy signature was detected as being different from those of Sebaceans, and he was tortured by Bialar Crais and Scorpius. The crew of *Moya* managed to free Crichton and Stark, and destroy the Gammak Base in their efforts.

Over the course of the next two cycles, the Gammak Base was rebuilt.

Debrune

The **Debrune** were a biological cousin of Vulcans and Romulans who -- like Romulans -- rejected the teachings of Surak on Vulcan. In the 14th century, they left Vulcan at the end of the Time of Awakening and settled on several planets, including Barradas III. They never grew to be as influential as their Romulan cousins, and eventually died out.

Millenium Gate

The **Millenium Gate** was a tall structure built on Earth in the early 21st century. It was one kilometer tall, and was constructed in Portage Creek, Indiana, United States of America. It was the first self-sustaining civic environment on the planet. It was covered in solar panels, and contained its own ecosystem with over 600 stores. The Millenium Gate would eventually be the inspiration for the first colony built on Mars.

Portage Creek city administrators had offered free building permits, and deferred local taxes -- as well as promising new roads for the project. This enticed the Texas corporation funding the project to choose that city -- sending Gerald Moss as their representative and spokesperson. Local residents were offered 20% above market value for their properties that needed -- but if even one resident refused to sell, the project would be relocated to Canton, Ohio.

Most of the citizens of Portage Creek were excited to have their little city be home to such an important project. A handful, however, were greatly opposed. The opposition mostly believed that the project was being overhyped and that it would ultimately turn out to be nothing more than a shopping mall. One of these opponents was Henry Janeway, who owned a bookstore that he would have needed to sell. He was the last holdout -- but ultimately, he was convinced to allow the project to move forward on the last possible day: December 31, 2000 CE. On January 1, 2001 CE construction on the project began. Construction was completed in 2012 CE.

Energy shield

**Energy shields** were small, power-fed force fields initally invented by Alonoso Melethat in 2197 CE. The initial model was unable to withstand much damage, but -- more rudimentary still -- needed to be tied directly into a power source, making them useful for stationary protection. Despite these drawbacks, they were prohibitively expensive. Thirteen years later, in 2210 CE, a wearable vest-like model was invented though it still needed to be plugged into a stationary power source.

Eventually, portable fission batteries allowed wearable energy shields to become feasible. Many soldiers of the World Economic Consortium were equipped with these shields.

Citadel Conventions

The **Citadel Conventions** are a set of laws that were drawn up after a series of diplomatic conferences following the Krogan Rebellion. Given the incredible destruction that the conflict resulted in, the Citadel sought a means of distancing themselves from it.

They created regulations regarding the use of weapons of mass destruction -- weapons that could cause enviromental alterations to a planet.

## Regulations

The regulations forbid the use of weapons of mass destruction on "garden worlds" like Earth, where the ecosphere can readily support a large population. Weapons of mass destruction can be used on hostile worlds and on sealed environment space stations.

### Grades

The Conventions also separated weapons out into tiers, with Tier I being the greatest threat.

* **Tier I:** kinetic impactors -- such as asteroid drops or de-orbiting space stations.
* **Tier II:** self-replicating weapons -- such as nanotechnology or viral and bacterial organisms, computer viruses, and Von Neumann Devices.
* **Tier III:** large energy-burst weapons -- such as nuclear or antimatter weapons.
* **Tier IV:** the deliberate introduction of invasive alien species to an environment.

Jessica

**Jessica** was an "astronaut groupie" in the simulated version of Earth used by the Scarrans to break John Crichton's mental defenses, who had the same appearance as Chiana. Crichton was introduced to Jessica by Gary Regal at a bar. Jessica proved to be wild -- and grew wilder as the hallucination became more twisted.
Elysian Ruling Council

The **Elysian Ruling Council** was an interspecies governmental organization comprised of one representative from each crew that was pulled into the pocket dimension accessed within the Delta Triangle -- which was named Elysia. There were representatives from 123 species. The Elysian Council was formed some time near the beginning of the 23rd century. Because time moved more slowly in Elysia, members tended to stay on the Council for hundreds of years.

The Council's primary focus was to enforce peace between the myriad of denizens of Elysia. They did so through whatever means was necessary, including freezing those who contributed to conflict. Most of this was done through the use of psionic powers wielded by some members of the Council.

When the USS *Enterprise* NCC-1701 under Captain James T. Kirk was pulled into Elysia in 3269 CE, along with the IKS *Klothos* under Commander Kor, the council neutralized the weapons of both ships to prevent conflict from turning into violence between them. At that time the speaker for the Council was a Romulan named Xerius and the Interpreter of Laws was an Orion named Devna. They also intervened when Kaz attempted to kill Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Kirk, however, asked them to refrain from punishing the Klingons -- whose help he still needed to escape Elysia.

Although Kor and Kirk had demonstrated that it was possible to escape from Elysia, most of the denizens of the pocket dimension opted to stay.

Darinta Larell

Lieutenant **Darinta Larell** was a Sebacean scientist in the ranks of the Peacekeepers. She was a specialist in the biology of Leviathan biomechanoids. She was, for a time, the lover of Bialar Crais.

## History

Darinta Larell is known to have served under Bialar Crais in his efforts to genetically engineer a Leviathan gunship. It is likely that, during this period, the two became lovers.

Some time after that project concluded, Larell was transferred to a command carrier that was under Scorpius' command. After Crais' deserted the Peacekeepers, Scorpius subjected Larell to sessions in the Aurora Chair in order to learn about their past association. This suffering, and the general inability to cope with his betrayal, led Larell to hate Crais.

When Crais arrived on the command carrier alongside John Crichton, seeking help for the increasingly unstable *Talyn*, Scorpius ordered Larell to spy on the former Peacekeeper. To earn his trust, Larell confessed this to Crais. As the deception continued, Larell attempted to tempt Crais back into the Peacekeeper fold. Crais seemed to begin to believe her -- betraying Crichton to Scorpius to prove his intentions.

Eventually, however, Larell began to suspect that Crais was not being honest. She pressed him for more information -- only to be harshly rebuffed. Crais declared that he never cared for Larell, and hit her. The humiliating public display, however, was likely meant to save Larell's life -- it was only a short time before *Talyn* and Crais sacrificed themselves to destroy the command carrier. Larell's fate after this event was unknown, but it is possible she survived.

Darinta Larell is seen in an episode of *Farscape*.
Farscape-1

The ***Farscape-1*** module was a spacefaring vessel created by IASA. The module was designed specifically for use in the Farscape Project. The design was intended to allow the vessel to survive high acceleration from a gravitational slingshot maneuver.

While being piloted by John Crichton, the vessel was shot through a wormhole into the Delta Quadrant. In this area of space, the vessel was considered extremely primitive -- however, it was able to survive being piloted through wormholes whereas many other more advanced vessels were not. It was modified throughout Crichton's time in the Uncharted Territories -- including the addition of a second seat, as the craft was originally intended only to fit one individual inside. These modifications also allowed the module to use a variety of different fuels, and gave *Farscape-1* the ability to reach speeds that human spacecrafts of the time were incapable of reaching. It also incorporated some of *Moya*'s biomechanical technology.

I-Yensch Bracelets

**I-Yensch bracelets** are sets of two bracelets that, when worn by two different individuals, create a physical link between the two of them. If one is injured, the other also suffers the same injury. If one is killed, the other is also killed. The bracelets are even capable of compensating for vastly different physiologies.

These bracelets are often used in the Uncharted Territories to facilitate negotiations.

## Source

I-Yensch bracelets are derived from *Farscape*.
Metra

A **metra** is a unit of length. It has no real equivalent in English, and therefore cannot be translated by translator microbes. A metra is longer than a kilometer.

Metras are subdivided in motras, with 600 motras being slightly more than half of a metra.

Metras are most commonly used to measure the size of massive spacefaring vessels in the Uncharted Territories, like Command Carriers.

Metras are taken from *Farscape*. For canon information, please visit the Farscape Encyclopedia Project.
Delphic Expanse

The **Delphic Expanse** -- called the "**Chosen Realm**" by the Triannons -- was a large area of space 50 light years away from Earth in the Beta Quadrant. It was estimated to be two thousand light years across.

The Expanse became a unique region of space during Earth's 22nd century. At this time, entities who would come to be called the Sphere Builders began constructing massive spheres that altered the laws of physics. The Delphic Expanse became riddled with bizarre spatial anomalies, surrounded by a thick layer of thermobaric clouds. A mass relay within the Expanse ceased functioning and -- as far as records indicate -- may have ceased to exist altogether. As this developed, various species began reporting tragic and horrifying incidents. Slowly but surely, all travel to that region of space ceased.

In 3133 CE, a Klingon starship entered the Expanse. When it exited, the crew was anatomically inverted -- but still alive. Afterwards, the Klingons forbid their ships from entering that region of space. The Vulcans had also sent ships into the Expanse -- few of them returned.

In December of 3152 CE, the Vulcan ship the *Seleya* was assigned to map the thermobaric clouds surrounding the expanse -- it became caught in a subspace eddy and was pulled inside. After contact was lost, the *Vaankara* was sent to search for the missing ship. Within two days of entering the Expanse, the crew members had lost their minds and begun to kill each other. Ultimately, the ship was set to self destruct. After this, Vulcans also forbid ships from entering -- or even approaching -- the Delphic Expanse.

However, some sapient species lived within the Delphic Expanse in spite of its dangerous and unusual nature. After the Xindi attacked Earth in March of 3153 CE, the United Earth government sent the *Enterprise* NX-01 to prevent any further hostilities.

Through their adventures in this dangerous region of space, the crew of the *Enterprise*was able to determine that the Delphic Expanse was in the process of being altered to become habitable by a species of transdimensional entities -- the Sphere Builders -- and that they were attempting to prevent the founding of the United Federation of Planets in order to secure their place in the Prime Reality. To this end, they were manipulating the Xindi and other species within the Delphic Expanse.

In 3154 CE, Captain Jonathan Archer was able to convince the Xindi they were being manipulated. The *Enterprise* disabled one of the spheres using a deflector pulse, that destroyed the entire network of spheres. The thermobaric clouds dissipated and the spatial anomalies vanished. Although the Delphic Expanse was longer any different than the rest of space, it remained a noted region of space on most star charts.

Han-jee

The **Han-jee** are a species found in the Uncharted Territories. They are exceedingly rare, and many believe them to be fictional creatures altogether. They are insectoid creatures, roughly two feet tall and four feet in length. They have detachable eyes, which can reconnect to their body after removal. The optic nerves of these eyes continue to function for hours, and send the information back to the han-jee's brain -- brains which have photographic memories and perfect recall. Because of this, han-jee are considered excellent spies.

Han-jee are superb at relaying information as well. They have six tentacles which extend from the back of their heads. When one of these tentacles is held up to the eye of another being, that being can witness recorded events from the perspective of the han-jee's eyes through a neural interface.

It should be noted that other neural devices may interfere with the perfect playback of the han-jee. For instance, when John Crichton was viewing events through a han-jee's tentacle on LoMo, the neural clone of Scorpius was present.

Grunchlk

**Grunchlk** was an opportunistic businessman who served as a go-between and translator for Diagnosans. Grunchlk's instincts for self-preservation have made him an expert manipulator, and willing to make deals within deals, counterdeals, and double crosses to ensure that he always comes out on top.

After *Moya* was burned to dispose of an infestation of Karack metalites, her crew made a deal to have Diagnosan Tocot treat her burns. Grunchlk also arranged for Tocot to remove the neural implant that Scorpius had put in John Crichton's head during his torture with the Aurora Chair.

Unbeknownst to the crew of *Moya*, a Scarran soldier had also arrived on the planet with his own interests in Crichton and Grunchlk had also made a deal with him. This was complicated by the arrival of Scorpius during Crichton's operation. To save his deals, Grunchlk put the Scarran in a cryogenic tube.

Scorpius made an attempt to control the situation -- putting an implant in Grunchlk that put him entirely under the Peacekeeper's control. Chaos ensued when, believing the cryogenic tube was malfunctioning, Tocot released the Scarran from stasis. Feeling betrayed, the Scarran put Grunchlk inside the pod. Stark determined that Grunchlk was "effectively dead".

This proved to be less than accurate, as Grunchlk was later awoken. During the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, Grunchlk arrived on Qujaga alongside Chiana. Amidst the conflict, it seemed Grunchlk had betrayed the crew to the Scarran Empire -- though it turned out to be Sikozu's doing. When Qujaga was evacuated, both Grunchlk and Sikozu were left behind. The two survived, and managed to eventually escape the planet.

Grunchlk later proved instrumental in stopping the spread of the Whaela'an virus, and soon after brought Scorpius and Rygel XVI to Delvia during the War for the Uncharted Territories.
E'Alet

**E'Alet** was a humanoid with powerful psionic abilities. With his powers, he could create sgabba flies to implant murderous suggestions in the minds of others. These ideas were then amplified by E'Alet's telepathic powers.

E'Alet was a mercenary for hire, and came to be in the employ of Prefect Falaak to help him maintain power over the other clans of a small planet in Tormented Space. Using his powers, he was able to influence Aeryn Sun into murdering Gaashah and sixteen others.

After this, E'Alet attempted to use his sgabba flies to turn Aeryn and John Crichton against each other. Struggling against his subliminal commands, the two were able to injure him and knock him unconscious -- temporarily freeing them of his grasp. Though he tried to attack them when he returned to consciousness, he was shot and killed by Paroos.
Hetch

**Hetch** is a measurement of speed in starships, used prominently in the Uncharted Territories and the Delta Quadrant. Though hetch does not necessarily describe faster-than-light travel, hetch drives are capable of reaching faster-than-light speeds. One hetch was approximately quadruple the speed of sound.

Hetch is a word taken from *Farscape*. For canon information, please visit the Farscape Encyclopedia Project.
Divine Eternal

The **Divine Eternal** is a deity worshipped by the majority of Traskan society. The Divine Eternal is a pacifistic, benevolent deity that is supposed to be a guiding force in the lives of its followers. This force is known to act similarly to the human idea of karma.

Noranti Pralatong, a devout follower of the Divine Eternal, sought its forgiveness after accidentally unleashing dermafollica upon thousands of Kalish. Noranti also believed that *Moya*'s captain should be the Divine Eternal.

The Divine Eternal is derived from *Farscape*.
Council of Auron

The **Council of Auron** were the political leaders of the Auronar, members of which were identified by a numerical designation such as **CA 1** or **CA 2**. Because the members of the Council were of an older generation, they were likely not as psychically developed as younger members of the population.

When plague was unleashed upon Auron, Servalan ordered two members of the council to be taken out and shot. The rest of the council likely developed the illness and perished.

The Council of Auron is derived from *Blake's 7*.
