Procyon Insurrection

The **Procyon Insurrection**(or "**The Insurrection**") was a faction that rose up against the Galactic Authority, led by a man simply known as "The General". They believed that the Galactic Authority was corrupt and sought to reveal this to the people of colonized space.

The Galactic Authority sent Kal Varrik undercover as "Griffin Jones" to become a member of the Insurrection. It was during this assignment that he unwittingly helped the terrorist organization destroy the Hyadum-12 space station -- killing ten thousand people.

Rylani Jeema Dellos

**Rylani Jeema Dellos** was the hapless mother of Scorpius.

Rylani and her husband Ghebb were one of a number of Sebacean colonists aboard a Leviathan biomechanoid making its way to Motak IV. Once in the Uncharted Territories, and outside of Peacekeeper jurisdiction, the ship fell under attack by Scarrans. Although the ship was destroyed, Rylani and Ghebb escaped aboard a transport pod.

They managed to reach Motak IV in the pod, but were quickly beset by Scarrans who had followed. A Scarran named Wolesh killed Ghebb and captured Rylani. She was held captive for several months before being selected as part of a Scarran experiment to breed Scarran/Sebacean hybrids. As part of this experiment, Rylani was forcibly impregnated by Wolesh.

The torturous gestation period of the child broke what was left of Rylani's sanity, and she begged for death. She eventually died giving birth. Her child was the only one of 90 attempts in which the child survived.

Pennoch

**Pennoch** was a high-ranking Scarran from the Soldier Caste. Aside from his position in the Scarran Empire, he also wielded quite a bit of influence as he was the lover of War Minister Ahkna.

When Ahkna met with Commandant Mele-on Grayza, Pennoch accompanied her. Afterwards, he led the capture of Aeryn Sun -- his skin proved thick enough that she could not hurt him with her pulse rifle. He brought her to Katratzi, where he remained until it was devastated by the crew of *Moya*.

In the aftermath of those events, Emperor Staleek sent Pennoch into the wormhole to Earth. Pennoch was still inside the wormhole when John Crichton destroyed it -- killing Pennoch and destroying his stryker when it collapsed with him inside.
Restraint Collars

**Restraint collars** were devices used by the Nebari to keep their prisoners and captives under control until mind cleansing could be initiated. These collars inflicted pain whenever the control device was activated -- a device that was often implanted in the heads of the Nebari guards.

The Nebari had crafted a wide array of different styles and sizes of these collars. In this way, they could equip prisoners of all sizes and shapes with the necessary collars. They event made collars for non-humanoid species, such as Pilots. One style of collar is blue and slips on behind a person's neck -- it is open at the front, but nevertheless is difficult if not impossible to remove without killing the captive. The other, and perhaps more common style, is a gold collar that completely encircles the captive's neck. These collars are programmable -- they can be told to automatically inject a captive with lethal toxins if am escape attempt is made.

Phoebe

**Phoebe** is one of the moons of Saturn, a small ice moon with an irregular orbit. It is believed that it was originally a hot object that cooled, and was struck by multiple impacts from other object -- this led to its heavily cratered shape. It was 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.

Sacred Stillness

The **Sacred Stillness** is an area within the Uncharted Territories. It surrounds the Twin Suns of Quell, and is considered to be the birthplace of the gods by the Kampeks. Though there are few astronomical objects in the region, it is frequented by colorful storms. Interest in these storms turned the area into something of a galactic tourist destination, and as such three commerce stations were built there.

The Kampeks were deeply offended by the presence of the commerce stations, and invoked the power of their god Gezma to destroy them. They successfully destroyed two, and crippled the third. For many cycles afterwards, tourism in the region declined.

## Source

The Sacred Stillness is seen in an episode of *Farscape*.
Sacred Leviathan Burial Space

The **Sacred Leviathan Burial Space** was a secret area of the Uncharted Territories, held as holy by all Leviathan biomechanoids. Leviathans came to this place to die, or to leave the remains of their revered dead. Despite the secrecy, it was possible to discover its location -- as Sikozu was able to do while working for the Grudeks.

*Moya* came to the sacred space in 2002 CE to leave the remains of her child *Talyn*. While there, she came under attack by another Leviathan whose three children had been enslaved by Peacekeepers. Mad with grief, this rogue Leviathan refused to allow the gunship hybrid to be buried in the sacred space. The insane ship had been starving its Pilot of nutrients, and had attacked and killed other Leviathans in her rage.

Upon learning this, *Moya* asked her crew to kill the rogue Leviathan. Aeryn Sun in her Prowler and Ka D'Argo and John Crichton in *Lo'La* launched a two pronged attack that killed the ship. Both the rogue Leviathan and *Talyn* were subsequently laid to rest in the Sacred Burial Space.

After being separated from *Moya*, John Crichton remained in this space aboard the aging Leviathan *Elack*. However, *Elack* eventually left the space before dying in order to reunite Crichton with the rest of his crew.

*Moya* returned to the Sacred Leviathan Burial Space, and died there, in 2276 CE.

Rovhu

***Rovhu*** was a female Leviathan biomechanoid that was captured, placed in a control collar and used by the Peacekeepers as a transport vessel. *Rovhu* was specifically tasked with transporting the criminally insane.

*Rovhu* was eventually tasked with transporting the cannibalistic Kaarvok -- the worst criminal ever held aboard her. Kaarvok escaped, and used a device to create duplicates of the Peacekeeper crew that he could eat. The continuous copying of each of them led to their mental deterioration, turning them from ordinary Sebaceans into an animalistic, cannibalistic subspecies dubbed the Xarai by their creator. The Xarai ate everything -- each other, the Pilot's arms, and even parts of *Rovhu* -- leaving the ship barely alive as she aimlessly made her way into the Uncharted Territories.

John Crichton, Ka D'Argo, Chiana and Jool came across *Rovhu* while experiencing mechanical problems with their own transport pod from *Moya*. The subsequent encouter led to the death of Kaarvok. With one final act of mercy before departing, Crichton triggered a Starburst -- which, due to the presence of the control collar, killed *Rovhu*.

Soviet Union

The **Union of Soviet Socialist Republics** (**USSR**), colloquially known as the **Soviet Union**, was a sovereign nation of the planet Earth during the 20th century. They were a rival of the United States of America at the time, and the two nations competed on many fronts. One of these fronts was the "space race" -- a race to determine which nation would advance the human species into the stars.

Though, for a time, the Soviet Union seemed to be ahead in this race -- having launched humanity's first artificial satellite *Sputnik I* in 1957 CE and successfully sending the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space in 1961 CE -- these successes only drove the United States to push harder and successfully land the first human on Luna.

The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991 CE.

Qujaga

**Qujaga** is an oceanic planet in Tormented Space, covered entirely in water. The waters of the planet-wide ocean contained chemicals that had healing properties. It was, for many cycles, believed to be uninhabited until it was revealed that the surviving Eidelons dwelled there. They lived on a small island that was cloaked using a concealment canopy.

Unfortunately, not long after this became known, the Scarrans sent a force to the planet to eradicate the inhabitants. The survivors were evacuated from the planet, which was ultimately destroyed by the gravitational force of John Crichton's wormhole weapon.

Qujaga appeared in an episode of the fourth season of *Farscape* and in *Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars*.
Saltici

The **Saltici** are a rare, exotic race of humanoids most notable for the stingers which extend from the back of their heads. Their bodies are protected by an exoskeleton, and as such most Saltici do not wear clothing.

The stingers are pressed closely against the Saltici's head most of the time, and extend only when intimidating or threatening an enemy,

Scarran border stations

**Scarran border stations** were military outposts and space stations at the edge of territories controlled by the Scarran Empire. Though they were commanded by Scarrans, they were typically manned by lesser races, such as Kalish.

On the way to Katratzi, one particular border station had to be visited in order to undergo a quarantine and inspection before reaching the hidden base.

Ocampa (planet)

**Ocampa** was the homeworld of the Ocampans. It was the fifth planet of its star system, which orbited a G-class star by the same name. The planet was once an M-class garden world, however an accident with a Nacene expedition reduced the planet to a vast desert world during the 24th century. The accident removed the nucleogenic particles in the atmosphere that allowed for the creation of rain. Ultimately, all water on the planet's surface disappeared -- leaving dry river and ocean beds in their place. The Ocampans referred to this event as "the Warming."

The Nacene had not intended for this result, and attempted to rectify their error by constructing a vast city for the planets inhabitants beneath the surface. They led the Ocampans to the city that would be their home -- the only place with remaining water. The Nacene created the Caretaker Array in the vicinity of the planet and left Suspiria and the Caretaker in charge of looking after the Ocampans. Shortly before his death, the Caretaker transferred five cycles worth of energy to the city's reserves.

With the surface abandoned, yet rich with veins of cormaline, the Kazon-Ogla led by Jabin established an encampment on the southern continent.

Pasternak

**Pasternak** was the orbital industrial platform created and launched by the New Russian Republic of States. When the NRRS split between DOMO and the Europa Economic Interest, DOMO claimed ownership of the platform's spaceport. Shockingly, however, the voting body on Pasternak chose to join the EEI -- making Pasternak officially independent of its parent corporation.

Planetary Classificiations

## Federation Classification

Humans adopted a means of classifying planets before the formation of the United Federation of Planets. They are as follows:

### Class A, B, and C

These three classes are very similar, and are used to define small planets -- frequently young planets at early stages of development. They are differentiated mostly by the solidity of the planet's core. These include Gothos (Class A), Mercury (Class B), and Pluto (Class C).

### Class D

Class D is used for planetoids, such as moons or asteroids. These include Regula and Rura Penthe.

### Class E, F, and G

These are planets that considered "proto-Earths" -- larger than the previous classes, and as yet unsuitable for complex life. Their exact classification is determined by their age and the solidity of their cores.

### Class H

Class H is used to define harsh, uninhabitable desert worlds. Tau Cygna V is one such planet.

### Class I

Class I designates a gas supergiant, an especially large gas giant planet.

### Class J

Class J is the smallest designation for a gas giant. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all Class J planets.

### Class K

Class K designates a planet that is barren and has no native life, but could be hospitable with terraforming or if buildings were constructed inside habitable domes. Mars is considered a Class K world.

### Class L

Class L indicates habitable planets that support primitive life. This can be very simple fauna, or even life as advanced as a Bronze Age culture.

### Class M

Class M indicates that a planet is Earth-like both in its size, core, and age as well as in the advancement of the native creatures. Class M worlds are frequently the home of sapient races capable of traveling in space. The Vulcans use the term "Minshara Class" to denote the same kind of planet.

### Class N

Class N worlds are planets with an extremely high surface temperature, and an atmosphere inhospitable to most life. Venus is a Class N world.

### Class O and P

Class O indicates a planet's surface is almost entirely comprised of water, whereas Class P indicates that a planet's surface is almost entirely ice.

### Class Q

Class Q designates a rare variety of planets, with changing environments. These are sometimes the result of peculiar orbits or stars with a variable output.

### Class R

Class R is used to describe "rogue planets" that do not orbit a star.

### Class S

Class S is used to describe gas giants. It is the second smallest designation of gas giants, one size larger than Class J.

### Class T

Class T is the largest designation for gas giants. They are considered "ultragiants".

### Class Y

Class Y is used to describe what are colloquially known as "demon worlds". These worlds are not just inhospitable, but are generally lethal to most humanoid lifeforms. If life develops on such a world, it is frequently bizarre.

### Class X and Z

Classes X and Z are also used to denote other varieties of "demon worlds".
Staanz

**Staanz** was a former Zenetan pirate who had reformed and become a "garbologist". As a pirate, she served under the Red Mentor Kcrackic. In this role, she ran afoul of a number of organizations within the Delta Quadrant -- including the Peacekeepers, who eventually succeeded in apprehending her. Staanz subsequently spent nine cycles in a Malsonic labor stockade -- securing early release for herself by trading some of Kcrackic's secrets to the Peacekeepers in exchange for freedom.

This may have earned Staanz her freedom, but also placed her firmly on Kcrackic's list of enemies. Unable to return to a life among the Zenetan pirates, she became a self-proclaimed "garbologist" -- scavenging ships for anything she could. She became particularly adept at navigating the Flax and looting ships caught within it before Kcrackic's pirates arrived. Meanwhile, Staanz also tried to warn off any ships that were potentially going to be caught within it.

It was in this regard that she first encountered *Moya*. Although Staanz appeared and offered her warning in time to prevent the Leviathan biomechanoid from getting caught, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun had already become caught in it while aboard a transport pod -- which was venting atmosphere. Ka D'Argo joined Staanz in an effort to free his crewmates. While enroute, D'Argo observed Staanz was wearing Luxan boots and demanded to know where they came from -- Staanz revealed she had looted them from a Luxan assault piercer, and offered D'Argo to the chance to loot it.

Faced with the choice of reclaiming an assault piercer or rescuing his friends, D'Argo opted to rescue Aeryn and Crichton. Afterwards, Staanz revealed she had developed feelings for the Luxan and hoped they could continue to salvage ships together. D'Argo awkwardly declined the offer and left Staanz to continue her career alone.
Starburst

**Starburst** is a means used by Leviathan biomechanoids to instantly travel great distances in space. It is the only natural defensive mechanism available to their species.

A Leviathan may Starburst once they have gathered sufficient energy reserves, which can be siphoned through the Starburst Chamber. The Leviathan opens a gateway in space-time that allows the ship to journey through one-dimensional space, emerging at a random point back into the Materium. Any smaller ships caught within the Leviathan's biomagnetic field will travel through this gateway as well.

Because Starbursts cannot truly be navigated, and require a great deal of energy, they are not ideal for short distances and are generally used to escape danger. Without knowing the exact vector of the Leviathan at the exact moment of Starburst, it is virtually impossible to trace a Starburst -- and even with knowledge of the vector, one can never know exactly how far the Starburst may have taken the ship.

Starbursts are not without risks. Although Starburst is not dangerous for biological lifeforms, lower lifeforms can become disoriented or may experience vertigo or sensory overload. The risk of these symptoms is increased the longer the vessel remains in Starburst.

The transition both into and out of Starburst is incredibly volatile and delicate. If the Starburst is interrupted, there is tremendous risk that the Leviathan may become trapped within a dimensional schism -- not fully in the Materium, and yet not fully in one-dimensional space. Starbursts become even more risky in areas of space where space-time is disrupted -- such as the event horizon of a black hole or in the presence of an open wormhole.

Finally, a Leviathan entering into Starburst while in a confined area could be extremely destructive -- both to the area in which the Leviathan is confined, as well as to the Leviathan itself. Such an occurrence would likely prove fatal to the biomechanical ship.

Progenitors

The **Progenitors** were an advanced alien species, whose homeworld was unknown. At one point, they had the technology to grow planets (or "manifolds") themselves -- including the planet Chiron. They had developed an interstellar network of these planets, though the locations of these other worlds were known only to the Progenitors themselves. After this point, however, they entered a civil war which cost them territory and -- more importantly -- much of their technology.

Two offshots of the warring factions -- the Manifold Caretakers and the Manifold Usurpers -- ultimately made their way to Chiron and began warring over the fate of that planet.

Progenitors are complex biological creatures, with a natural ability to detect electrical and magnetic fields that are typically imperceptible to most other species. The term for this additional sense is "resonance" and it is an integral part of Progenitor society, found in all of their means of communication, as well as their art and culture.

Ponara

**Ponara** was a Peacekeeper weapons-expert working under Commandant Mele-on Grayza. She was specifically assigned to a project that developed a missile that could kill a Leviathan biomechanoid but not kill the crew aboard. She worked alongside Rinlo, and successfully created the missile. Rinlo believed the missile was too unwieldy to be put on a Prowler but Ponara's simulations indicated that a skill enough pilot would be able to manuever close enough to the ship for proper impact on a Prowler.

Captain Miklo Braca agreed with Ponara, and ultimately chose to pilot the mission himself. Upon reaching the target, he discovered two Leviathan biomechanoids -- one of which appeared to be dead already. Ponara indicated that the one that seemed to be alive must be *Moya* -- the intended target -- and that he should fire there. After the missile detonated, the ship that had appeared to be dead powered up -- the real *Moya*. Enraged, Braca ordered her to the detention block. Grayza had other plans and sent Ponara to the Aurora Chair.
Sol

**Sol**, also called "**the Sun**" by humans native to Earth, is a type-G main-sequence (GV2) or a yellow dwarf star. The star formed out of interstellar gas and dust about 5 billion years before humans began exploring space. Sol is the only star in the Sol system, found in Sector 001 -- appropriately, if informally, named the Sol Sector.

Galactic cartographers of the United Federation of Planets used Sol as the central y-axis when breaking the Milky Way into quadrants. As such, Sol is physically in both the Alpha Quadrant and the Beta Quadrant -- though it is officially considered an Alpha Quadrant star.

It has been demostrated that using a "slingshot effect" with warp engines to maneuver around Sol can result in time travel.

Rinic Tolven

**Rinic Tolven** was the son of Rinic Pralanoth and brother of Rinic Sarova. He served as the Kanvian Minister of Security in Pralanoth's administration. Like his sister, he had hopes of ruling Kanvia on his own after their father's passing -- only Tolven hoped to expedite that eventuality. However, Tolven was highly suspicious of off-worlders. When *Moya*'s crew arrived on the planet, he did not believe they were simply after chromextin.

Unwilling to negotiate with the aliens, Tolven was absolutely prepared to use the planetary defenses to destroy *Moya* and *Talyn*, but was prevented by his father -- who feared the threat *Talyn* posed to them.

After Sarova was nearly assassinated, Tolven was convinced that she had been with John Crichton at the time of the attack. He forced Crichton to don the stranit and explain what had happened. Unbeknownst to Tolven, he was speaking to a duplicate of Crichton that had not been present at the attack so he truthfully denied his presence there.

When it was revealed that the chromextin had been poisoned with clorium, Crichton returned a put the stranit on Tolven's head. Tolven denied poisoning the chromextin, and the stranit detected that was truthful. However, when Crichton asked if Tolven was a good and loyal son, Tolven replied that he did not intend to dishonor the family -- and the stranit struck, killing Tolven for his lie.
Olivia Crichton

**Olivia Crichton** was the daughter of Jack Crichton and Leslie Crichton, as well as the sister of astronaut John Crichton, who was not involved in the space program at all. She was also the sister of Susan Crichton, and therefore the sister-in-law of Frank Coleman and the aunt of Bobby Coleman. Although she would never meet them, she was also the aunt of D'Argo Sun-Crichton and Katrana.

When they came to Earth, Olivia rather quickly accepted *Moya*'s crew as extensions of her own family, bringing them shopping with her and even showing John's baby pictures to Aeryn Sun. During this visit, she also worked to repair the relationship between her brother and her father.

During Christmas dinner, Olivia was attacked by the Skreeth that had stowed away on *Moya*. Fortunately, quick action by Aeryn and John left her shaken but unharmed from the incident.

Scarran Empire

The **Scarran Empire**, sometimes called the **Scarran Imperium**, was one of the major political powers of the Delta Quadrant. Occupying territory that bordered the Uncharted Territories, the Scarran Empire was bent on dominating the galaxy. The Empire had the greatest military strength in that region of the Milky Way; the Peacekeepers believed that a conventional war against the Scarrans would lead to an assured Scarran victory. The Peacekeeper/Scarran War very nearly proved this to be true.

The Empire was founded by Scarrans, and ruled by the Scarrans of the Ruling Caste. The Emperor maintained absolute control over the Imperium, though he was counseled by ministers in various departments. The chief advisor and second-in-command of the Empire was the War Minister. Scarrans of the Soldier Caste made up much of the military of the Scarran Empire, and many of its subjects as well. The true grunts of the military, however, were the Charrids. Other subjugated races performed many of the day-to-day duties of the Empire that the Scarrans believed to be beneath: the Kalish, for instance, performed virtually all of the administrative duties, as well as acting as technicians and laborers.

Imperial expansion was limited less by the many enemies of the Scarran Empire -- not just the Peacekeepers but other factions such as the Nebari Establishment -- and more by the Ruling Caste's need for access to Crystherium Utilia. Because the human John Crichton accidentally revealed that the flowers grew in abundance on Earth, the Scarrans avidly sought a means to reach the planet on the other side of the galaxy.

Raphael Adolini

**Raphael Adolini** was a timid French human who was a member of Big Beard's fur trapping party as they traveled across the Great Plains in 1719 CE. While on that journey, he carried with him a flintlock pistol that had been inscribed with his name in 1715 CE.

While traveling across the Great Plains, the fur trapping party came to the attention of a Yautja hunter. The party captured the Comanche woman Naru in the hopes she might be able to tell them something about the creature that was killing them. When she refused, they tortured their other captive -- her brother Taabe -- in front of her.

Instead, the party settled on using the pair as bait for the hunter. This failed, and instead the Yautja attacked the Frenchmen. Raphael managed to survive this battle, but severely wounded. He returned to the camp, where begged Naru to help his with his wounds and offered to teach her how to use a gun. She treated his injuries, also giving him orange totsiyaa to help with his pain and cool his blood. Raphael also held up his end of the bargain, giving his flintlock pistol to Naru in the process.

Naru suddenly left him, which he quickly realized was because the creature was nearby. He attempted to play dead. This would have worked, as the orange totsiyaa was preventing the Yautja from seeing him with its thermal vision, until it accidentally stepped on his injured foot. Raphael cried out in pain, and was swiftly killed.

Ro-NA

**ro-NA** was a Jakench on the Royal Planet of the Breakaway Colonies. She entered the service of the royal family in 1978 CE. She was loyal to them until 2000 CE, when Scorpius paid ro-NA to help him in his schemes against John Crichton and the crew of *Moya*.

When ro-NA successfully trapped Crichton for Scorpius, she demanded the rest of her pay for the task. When Miklo Braca refused to give her the rest of her due, she attacked him. Ultimately, in the ensuing brawl, ro-NA was electrocuted and killed.

Pulse Rifles

**Pulse rifles** are commonly used pulse weapons that fire bolts of red or yellow energy. They are typically utilized by Peacekeepers. The standard pulse rifle has a mount on the top for a scope or a laser sight.

Pulse rifles are larger than pulse pistols, and are far more powerful. Sustained fire from a pulse rifle can even penetrate a Scarran's hide. Pulse rifles have the ability to be fully automated, allowing for continuous fire. They are able to hold more chakan oil cartridges, allowing them to fire 1500 times before needing to be reloaded.

Like pulse pistols, pulse rifles are able to be overloaded -- essentially turning them into a devastating bomb.

## Variants

* Heavy Pulse Rifles - also known as "sling rifles", these are so heavy they need to be carried on the shoulder by a strap (or a sling). At least one member of any Peacekeeper strike team is usually equipped with this weapon -- typically the largest member of the squad. It is able to shoot 30 rounds per chakan oil cartridge and fires three shots per round.

Scorvians

**Scorvians** are a humanoid, reptillian species that has long been the enemy of the Ilanics and the Luxans. Unlike many warlike races, Scorvians lack a code of honor, and will employ any underhanded method to achieve their ends. This includes performing genetic surgery on spies, allowing them to easily infiltrate their enemies. Scorvians are also masters of martial arts, known and feared for their neural stroke maneuver.

Scorvians once attacked a number of border worlds in the Luxan Territories. This led the Luxans to wage a brutal campaign of battles against them -- this was Ka D'Argo's second military campaign. Many cycles later, three cycles before *Moya* escaped Peacekeeper control, the Ilanic/Scorvian War began.
Pathfinders (species)

The **Pathfinders** are a race of bipeds from the Gamma Quadrant. They are some of the most adept scientists within the Dominion. Pathfinders have only been encountered outside of their home region once in the recorded history of the Milky Way -- by the crew of the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya*.

Pathfinders seem to have a variety of skin colors -- including hues of green, blue, and yellow-gold. Patterns of contrasting color appear on their skin, which is completely hairless. Slits on the sides of their heads allowed for a natural defense -- firing of needles tipped with a naturally occurring metal that allowed these weapons to puncture skin. These needles could be effected by

At the time of their encounter, the technology of Pathfinders was remarkably advanced, even by the standards of other advanced species in the Milky Way. Their culture was heavily devoted to science, though it held strict rules for the researchers who engaged in their expeditions. The researchers traveled in unique vessels specifically designed to move through wormholes -- the primary focus of Pathfinder scientific investigation. Researchers are forbidden from contaminating themselves with too much contact with alien lifeforms -- for these reasons, the Pathfinders encountered by the crew of *Moya* resisted being injected with translator microbes. If Pathfinder expeditions failed to return home with their scientific research, their families that remained on their homeworld were killed in punishment.

Pathfinders are likely to know more about wormholes than any other species native to the Milky Way.

Raza

The ***Raza*** is an armed transport vessel capable of faster-than-light travel. The ship has various defenses, including shields and vector thrust capabilities. The ship is capable of landing on planet surfaces, but also has a Phantom-class shuttle called the *Marauder*.

The interior includes both a spacious bridge and a sizable mess hall, as well as a combat training room. There are sleeping quarters for at least six crew members.

## Crew

The crew of the *Raza* was initially a feared band of criminals and mercenaries. However, after having their memories wiped while in stasis, the crew changed -- or attempted to change -- and became heroes. Nevertheless, they remained enemies of the Galactic Authority.

The crew initially included:

Parmen

**Parmen** was a genetically-enhanced native of the planet Sahndara, who survived the planet's star going nova. Like others of the eugenics program, Parmen was bred for contemplation, self-reliance, and longevity.

When it became clear that his homeworld's star was going to explode, he -- among thirty-seven others -- was chosen to leave the planet in order to continue the species. They briefly settled on Earth, where they became deeply impressed with the teachings of Plato.

Afterwards, they colonized a planet and named it Platonius. There, they founded a republic that was based upon the teachings of Plato. On this planet, the Platonians soon discovered psychokinetic abilities. The planet, it soon turned out, was a rich source of kironide which had turned all of the Platonians into biotics. Parmen was the most adept at using these powers and so became leader of his people. At 120 cycles old, Parmen married Philana.

Over the many cycles that they developed these abilities, Parmen grew cruel and began to force others to do his bidding, or torture them for his own amusement. He could not be challenged -- as the Platonians were unable to combine their biotic abilities to defeat him.

Nevertheless, in 3268 CE Parmen suffered a leg wound that became infected and found himself near death. It was then that the USS *Enterprise* found the planet. Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy treated the leg wound. Impressed, Parmen attempted to force McCoy to stay on the planet. McCoy refused -- so Parmen tortured James T. Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Spock, and Christine Chapel in retribution.

However, when McCoy realized the powers of the Platonians were drawn from the kironide in their food, he injected his crewmates with the substance. They were able to use their temporary biotic powers to defend themselves against Parmen. Before departing the planet, Kirk advised that if the United Federation of Planets discovered Parmen had returned to his old ways on their next visit to the planet "there [would] be trouble."

When the Federation did return, Parmen had not -- in fact -- changed his ways at all. A short conflict ensued, after which the Federation left a warning beacon near the planet advising no one to approach. When the Terran Federation rose to power, they quickly disposed of all life on the planet in order to farm it for kironide.

Roasted Spider Soup

**Roasted spider soup** is a thick stew made from the cooked remains of an arachnid. Though the most common recipe called for the use of Wolaxian Arachnids, any other species of spider could be substituted providing that the chef could alter the spices to account for the different flavors of different species.

Rakhana

**Rakhana** was the homeworld of the drell, before being ruined by overindustrialization. It was a fairly arid world, but still had oceans and plains that teemed with life -- particularly reptillian lifeforms abounded. The sweet-smelling usharet flower was also known to grow on the surface of the planet. At the height of drell society, there was a population of eleven billion of them. Around the 2180s, the drell began industrialization -- though without fully understanding the environmental impact that would follow.

Around 2200 CE, the environment of Rakhana began showing the first signs of the impending disaster. Most drell, however, took no notice. Centuries later, the planet could barely support life and the drell were warring with each other for dwindling resources. It was at this point -- around 2800 CE -- that the hanar made first contact with the drell. Over the next ten cycles, the hanar helped evacuate as many drell as they could in order to save the species from extinction.

The drell that remained behind continued to wage war on each other, slaughtering each other for resources. Eventually, the only drell that remained on the used up world lived in isolated pockets. With only a few thousand across the entire surface of the planet, it was not long before Rakhana was just another lifeless rock floating in the galaxy.

Protomolecule

The **protomolecule**, as it was named by the corporation Protogen, (also called "the **Phoebe bug**" colloquially) was an infectious agent created by the Ring Builders. It was not a living organism but was, instead, a self-replicating technology designed to guide other systems into following the instructions coded into it. These instructions were intended to create a Ring. Though when first exposed to it, humans perceived the protomolecule as hostile, its nature was more that of a terraforming technology than a weapon.

## History

The protomolecule was sent in a projectile to the Sol system, but the projectile was caught in the orbit of Saturn and became its moon Phoebe. It remained there, undiscovered, until 2284 CE when surveyors from the Martian Congressional Republic found it. The MCR contracted Protogen to further investigate the alien molecule.

They continued these experiments, until the Eros Incident occurred -- when the entire colonized asteroid of Eros was infected. The protomolecule killed and reanimated one and half million people, creating a hivemind between them which integrated itself with the computer systems of Eros as well. The first infected individual on the asteroid, Julie Mao, became the center of that hivemind.

The protomolecule was able to move and manuever Eros without any propulsion systems, and moved it speeds unable to be duplicated by any human technology of the time. The protomolecule, convinced by Josephus Miller to avoid crashing into Earth, crashed the asteroid into Venus.

On Venus, the protomolecule began to build structures. As it did, it also examined and seemed to learn from the humans around it -- in one instance it disassembled an entire spaceship -- the *Arboghast* -- as though it were dissecting it and examining each piece. As this was going on, it also developed a hivemind with the protomolecule/human hybrids being created by Project Caliban. The hivemind seemed capable of instant communication, with no delays despite vast distances separating parts of the hive.

After reshaping parts of the surface of Venus for months, complex structures launched themselves from the planet's surface and formed a massive Ring containing an invisible wormhole to the Ring Station. This Ring positioned itself near the planet Uranus.

One sample of the protomolecule, having been given to the Outer Planets Alliance, is known not to have been incorporated into the Ring or to have been destroyed.

It is unknown if this process is also how the others rings spread throughout the Milky Way were formed, though it is highly likely.

Solais V

**Solais V** was the fifth planet of the Solais system, and was the Class M homeworld of the Solari. The planet was the site of a brutal civil war that lasted for thousands of years -- from the 19th century until 3365 CE. In that year, Riva was called in to negotiate a peace treaty.

By 3371 CE, Solais V had achieved peace and was importing duridium from other planets.

Qatal Mollusks

**Qatal mollusks** are an organism with a strong connection to its other half. If ingested, both halves needed to be ingested by the same person. If each half was ingested by a different person, the two individuals would experience the same sensations. This would last only for a short time, before turning toxic and killing both parties.

The cure for this was to ingest the urine of the other person who had consumed the mollusk and then to touch skin with that person. This allowed bacteria to migrate to the appropriate person.

The crew of *Moya* was poisoned by Dr. Tumii with qatal mollusks, as a form of blackmail. He did eventually prepare an antidote for them.

Dregon Karzenova

**Dregon Karzenova** was a Sebacean male in the Breakaway Colonies -- and a cousin to the royal family. While *Moya*'s crew was on the Royal Planet, Dregon pursued a romantic relationship with Aeryn Sun. Though she was less-than-receptive, Dregon convinced her to join him in climbing cliffs outside the city. Ultimately, he caused the pair to fall from the wall -- breaking Aeryn's leg and injuring himself even more severely. Aeryn was forced to drag Dregon back to the city on a makeshift stretcher. During the course of this sojourn, he offered her advice on her ever more complex relationship with John Crichton.

Principality of Zairon

The **Principality of Zairon** was a faction of independent colonies from Earth, governed by the imperialistic House of Ishida for most of their existence and fiercely resisting the corporate rule that extended over most human colonies at the time. Zairon existed in an area of space commonly referred to as C-sector.

Zairon entered a period of great turmoil, beginning with the assassination of Emperor Ishida Tetsuyo. Though the murder was committed by his wife Ishida Li Na Katsumi, for several years the general public believed that his son Ryo Tetsudo was responsible. Hiro Ishida took the throne upon his father's death, but during his reign a war began with the Republic of Pyr that stretched Zairon's resources to their limits.

Ryo was able to prove his innocence, which led Hiro to abdicate the throne and pass the crown to his brother. However, Ryo was ruthless and determined -- committing acts of terrorism to weaken Pyr. Unfortunately, his tactics proved unpopular with his own subjects who rebelled against him.

Nomad MK-15c

The ***Nomad* MK-15c** was a prototype probe developed by Dr. Jackson Roykirk and launched by NASA in 2002 CE. Roykirk's goal had been to create a probe that could think for itself, functioning with its own independent logic, and to seek out alien lifeforms. The programming of the probe was a massive advance, and its launch considered historic by many. Travis Mayweather kept a model of the probe in his quarters on the *Enterprise* NX-01.

Eventually, however, the probe lost contact with Earth and was struck by a meteroid. It was severely damaged and floated through the galaxy, inert and lost, for centuries. The probe was encountered by another alien probe, of unknown origins, called *Tan Ru* that sought out soil samples from alien worlds, and sterilized all samples. The two probes merged, however *Nomad*'s programming was ancient, damaged and decayed. Merged, the probes began finding new life and sterilizing it if it was imperfect.

In 3267 CE, *Nomad* eradicated the four billion inhabitants of the Malurian system. Shortly afterwards, it encountered the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701). It prepared to eradicate the ship, until it was greeted by Captain James T. Kirk. Mistaking "Kirk" for "Roykirk", *Nomad* went aboard the ship. However, it still found the crew imperfect and worked to sterilize them -- wiping the memories of Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, and killing Montgomery Scott. Fortunately, under Kirk's orders, it was able to undo the damage it caused. Even more worrisome, it located the coordinates for Earth from the starship's database, and intended to travel back to its home.

Realizing the threat the probe posed, Kirk proved that it was imperfect itself -- pointing out that it had misunderstood his name. Realizing the logic behind Kirk's words, the probe prepared to self-destruct. Kirk ordered the probe beamed into space -- where it exploded.

Pollux IV

**Pollux IV** -- also called **Olympus** -- is a once-inhabited planet in the Beta Geminorum system in the Alpha Quadrant. It is the fourth of five planets orbiting the star Beta Geminorum. It is an M-class planet with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, very much like that of Earth. The planet is estimated to have begun forming 4 billion years before the Common Era.

## History

The former inhabitants of the world, the Olympians, were an interstellar race that briefly visited Earth and became recognized as the Greek gods and goddesses. Ultimately, the species became extinct.

The last surviving member of this species, Apollo, made contact with the crew of the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) in the year 3267 CE. Apollo is believed to have died during this encounter.

By 3328 CE, the Pollux IV Orbital City had been built. This paved the way for Pollux IV becoming a tourist destination by the end of the 34th century.
