Oculars

**Oculars** were lightweight, image enhancement devices that could be worn on the foreheads of humanoids such as Sebaceans. They displayed an enhanced image back to the wearer, and provided tactical information in the image. They were ideal tools for reconnaissance, as they had the capability to provide a close-up, detailed view of the enemy from a great distance and were able to zoom-in without having to be adjusted by the user's hands.
Zelbinion

The ***Zelbinion*** was a legendary Peacekeeper command carrier that was active during Earth's 19th century. According to the legends, the *Zelbinion* was supposedly infallible.

When Rygel XVI became a prisoner of the Peacekeepers in 1863 CE, he was first imprisoned and tortured by the *Zelbinion*'s commander, Selto Durka. In 1899 CE, the *Zelbinion* was assigned to lead an assault on Nebari territory. The prisoners aboard, including Rygel, were transferred off the vessel. During the incursion, the Nebari boarded the *Zelbinion* and killed the entire crew -- except for Selto Durka, who was taken captive.

One hundred cycles later, the wreckage of the *Zelbinion* was discovered in the Uncharted Territories. It was first discovered by the Peacekeepers under the command of Captain Bialar Crais. He left a small team aboard the ship, which he intended to retrieve later. The entire team except Gilina Renaez was killed in an attack by Sheyangs. Shortly thereafter, the wreckage was discovered by *Moya*. Her crew decided to look for a functioning defense screen that they might be able to install on the Leviathan biomechanoid.

Unfortunately, the Sheyangs returned. Gilina and the crew of *Moya* worked together to restore some of the *Zelbinion*'s systems and get the defense screen working. After they succeeded in this, Gilina was left on the *Zelbinion* to be recovered by Crais.

Worldships (Xel'naga)

**Worldships** were large vessels used by the xel'naga for interstellar travel. They were capable of remaining undetected in a planet's orbit, but were also capable of landing on planetary surfaces. These worldships had reinforced hulls and sharp crystals.

The defenses of a worldship were enough to protect them from primitive protoss attacks, but the zerg were very capable of destroying one.

For reasons unknown, one such worldship -- named the Maw of the Void -- was abandoned in the Sigma Quadrant of the Koprulu Sector. This ship was taken over by the Taldarim during the Second Great War.

Wa

**Wa** was the criminal partner of Sko, hired by Voodi to burn down his diner. The duo arrived to commit the crime in the midst of negotiations between Scorpius and Miklo Braca with Ka D'Argo and Rygel XVI. After the scheme was foiled, a fight ensued -- during the chaos, Brace slipped an I-Yensch bracelet onto Wa, and D'Argo -- wearing the partnering bracelet -- stunned Wa by hitting his own head into the floor.

Pilot (Elack)

The **Pilot** bonded to the Leviathan biomechanoid *Elack* was devoted but compassionate. When they encountered John Crichton on their way to Sacred Leviathan Burial Space, they permitted him to stay aboard.

As they reached the place where *Elack* and his Pilot had wanted to die, they were attacked by Grudeks. Crichton -- with the help of Chiana and Rygel XVI -- managed to defeat the assailants. In gratitude, *Elack* and his Pilot agreed to take their passengers to Arnessk.

With Peacekeepers on the planet, it eventually became clear that *Elack* would need to crash into the planet to help Crichton and his friends escape. Old enough that they were close to death, they agreed. However, *Elack*'s Pilot fell asleep and began the descent to the planet too soon -- with Ka D'Argo only narrowly awakening the Pilot in time. Afterwards, *Elack* and his Pilot crashed into the Peacekeeper Marauders on the surface -- sacrificing themselves for their friends.

Tongue Sting

The **tongue sting** is a natural defense in Luxans. Luxans possess very long, stretchy tongues which can extend severa feet. Their tongues also contain an adaptive poison that can, on contact, release just enough to render the target unconscious. Luxans are able to launch their tongues out of their mouths to stun their foes. It should be noted that this attack, known as the "**Luxan apical attack**" by Peacekeepers, does leave a mark.

Luxan tongues are prehensile and can -- with practice -- by used to grab objects as well.

Time travel

**Time travel** is a term used to describe moving backwards and forwards in a time stream. It may also include moving into alternate timelines. The study of time travel is often referred to as temporal mechanics. Most civilizations originally deemed time travel impossible, though there are a number of techniques that can be used to accomplish the task.

Numerous species became involved with time travel, including humans, Bajorans, Borg, and many others.

## Methods

There have been numerous methods of time travel used throughout the history of the galaxy. These include both the purposeful and accidental.

* Time Tear Goggles - though time tear goggles do intentionally utilize some of the mechanics of time travel to allow the user to view the past, when crossed with the psionic energies of a stykera the device can create a portal in time.
* Wormholes - wormholes, particularly naturally occurring unstable ones, can result in time travel during navigation. This can be either accidental, if navigated incorrectly, or purposeful.
* Technology - by the 29th century, the United Federation of Planets had developed significant temporal technology that allowed for reliable, controlled time travel. The inhabitants of Sarpeidon had developed time travel technology long before this, though the technology was destroyed in their sun's supernova.
* Slingshot Maneuver - the slingshot maneuver, performed at faster-than-light speeds and using a star or other high gravity object, resulted in time travel. This requires extreme precision in order to control the temporal destination.
* Warp Drives - one at least one occasion, cold-starting a warp drive resulted in the crew being sent 71 hours back in time.
* The Nexus - the dimension within the Nexus exists outside of time itself, and it is therefore able to be used to travel through time.
* Mycelial Network - in one instance, navigation through the mycelial network between two alternate timelines resulted in the USS *Discovery* jumping nine months into the future.
* Time Portals - tears in time itself, time portals can be entered for the purposes of time travel. This method was notably used by the Devidians. Another time portal was discovered in the ruins of Golana.

Xil

**Xil** was a Class H desert planet that had once been a Class M planet. A sapient species had once developed there, who had caught the attention of Amon's rogue xel'naga. However, a disaster had eradicated all life on the world -- seemingly overnight. The xel'naga abandoned the planet, leaving their artifacts behind.

The planet never recovered from the disaster -- however an inability to support life did not keep it from becoming a place of interest for others. The Tal'darim visited the world, as did the Moebius Foundation in 3104 CE. The Moebius expedition was eradicated by the Tal'darim.

Raynor's Raiders arrived on the planet sometime afterwards, using the Moebius Foundation's abandoned Drakken laser drill to open the doors of a xel'naga temple in order to acquire a piece of a xel'naga artifact.

Yanglin

**Yanglin**, more commonly known as **Tauma's Folly** after the first ship captain to crash there, is the homeworld of the terrifying Sheyang. It is a tropical world, covered in lush vegetation with only a few large bodies of water. The atmosphere is acidic, so the life that has developed there is unique even within the Delta Quadrant. Very few off-worlders can survive on the planet for any length of time without a specially designed breathing apparatus.

Yanglin, and the entire Yanglin System, is notable for its proximity to the Tauma Black Hole. This particular region of space is often considered a starship graveyard, due to the high number of ships that have crashed or been lost due to the unusual gravity created by the black hole, which often goes unnoticed by sensors because of its small size.

When Peacekeepers reached the region, they carefully marked the black hole on all of their star charts. This led to a sharp decline in the number of ships that were lost in the area.
Tuchanka

**Tuchanka** is the fourth planet of the Aralakh system in the Krogan Demilitarized Zone and the original homeworld of the krogan. Though the planet once flourished with life, with a thick jungle covering most of its surface, most life on the planet was eradicated after the krogan engaged in a cataclysmic nuclear war.

After the Reaper Invasion of 2986, the krogan began arduously working to rebuild the world and restore it to its former glory.
Virtual Aliens

The **virtual aliens** were a species that, in order to survive the explosion of their primary star, downloaded one billion of their minds into a virtual world aboard a starship. The vessel's long journey is estimated to have begun in 6,000 BCE.

In 2985 CE, the virtual aliens made contact with the salarians -- and therefore Citadel Council. They initiated diplomatic relations in an effort to gain a new power source for their ship.

## Capabilities

The virtual aliens lack physical bodies, but have shown an ability to swap consciousnesses with living entities. This allows them to communicate with lifeforms outside of the virtual world they inhabit.

When this ability became public knowledge to the members of the Citadel Council, it also became known that several members of the virtual species wished to leave rejoin the real world. After some discussion, 400 volunteers from the various species of the Milky Way volunteered to swap consciousnesses with those who wanted a new, more real life.

## Source

The virtual aliens are derived from *Mass Effect*.
Teleport Bracelets (Liberator)

The **teleport bracelets** aboard the *Liberator* were made of an alloy that contained aquitar. The ship originally carried 32 of these bracelets. These sophisticated devices not only allowed the *Liberator*'s crew to teleport to and from the ship, but also acted as communication devices.

The technology used to create the bracelets, developed by the Altas, was complicated enough that the Terran Federation was unable to reverse engineer the bracelets despite gaining access to several of them while chasing after the *Liberator* and its crew.

Many of these bracelets were lost or destroyed before the *Liberator* itself was ultimately destroyed. Some instances where this occurred include:

* On Cygnus Alpha, Vargas destroyed two bracelets while interrogating Roj Blake. A third was lost later when Vargas was teleported into deep space.
* Though a bracelet had been given to Sara, she removed it and the bracelet was destroyed with the *Ortega.*
* The bracelets given to Professor Kayn and Renor were lost and most likely destroyed along with XK-72.
* Sarkoff and Tyce used bracelets to leave the *Liberator* and never reconnected with the crew to return them.
* Jenna Stannis lost a bracelet on the planet Cephlon -- during the struggle, the bracelet itself was damaged and was never teleported back aboard the ship.
* Mori was wearing a bracelet when he fell into the volcano on Obsidian.
* On Ultraworld, Relf destroyed the bracelets worn by Dayna Mellanby and Del Terrant. Kerr Avon's bracelet was destroyed by one of the Ultras.

A functional teleport bracelet could be returned to the ship without being worn. It is also highly probable that additional teleport bracelets could be manufactured by the *Liberator* itself through it's automatic repair capabilities.

## Source

Teleport bracelets are derived from *Blake's 7*.
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.
Vahar'ai

***Vahar'ai*** was a biological process that happened to Kelpiens upon reaching a certain age, but could also be triggered by exposure to a certain frequency of sound waves. The process turned Kelpiens from a prey species to a predatory one, suppressing their fear response and detaching their threat ganglia. In place of the threat ganglia, they grew natural projectiles like darts that they could fire when under extreme stress.

The beginning of the *vahar'ai* had symptoms similar to those of the common cold. The next symptom included an increased heart rate, adrenal levels, and neurological activity. This was swiftly followed by excruciating physical pain that would render most humanoids unconscious. After this began, the threat ganglia would become inflamed.

After nearly being driven extinct by the Kelpiens who had passed through *vahar'ai*, the Ba'ul manipulated Kelpien society in order to avoid having any Kelpiens survive the process and become a threat. A Kelpien named Saru, however, left Kaminar to join Starfleet and was no longer part of Kelpien society when his *vahar'ai* was triggered by sound waves emitted by the Sphere lifeform. As a result, Saru was the first Kelpien to pass through the *vahar'ai* in two thousand cycles.

Shortly afterwards, when the USS *Discovery* was led to Kaminar by a red burst, Saru used Ba'ul technology to trigger the *vahar'ai* for 60% of the Kelpien population of the planet. Afterwards, *vahar'ai* once again became commonplace for Kelpiens.

Zelene System

The **Zelene system** is a planetary system in the Crescent Nebula of the Gamma Quadrant. It has a single star, with four planets orbiting it. The planet had once been colonized by the arthenn, whose homeworld was Helyme, the second planet in the system.

## Locations

**Zelene** - the primary star of the system.

* Nepyma - the tidally locked first planet of the system.
* Helyme - the second planet of the system, once the homeworld of the arthenn.
* Epho - the third planet of the system, colonized by the arthenn until hit by an orbital bombardment.
* Gaelon - the fourth planet of the system, a gas giant.

Unified Banking Act

The **Unified Banking Act** was a law enacted by the Citadel Council shortly after its creation. The law was devised and written by the volus. It established the official galactic unit of currency as the credit. The Act also explained guidelines for determining how other types of currency could have their value fairly converted to credits, allowing the Council to trade with other societies.

The Act also required all participating member species of the Citadel Council to price items in both their local currencies and in credits.

Utilities

The **Utilities** were a social class in Litigaran culture, making up an estimated 10% of the population. The Utilities were service workers -- maintaining infrastructure, and fulfilling all jobs duties necessary to keep their society afloat outside of the legal profession.

Unfortunately, Utilities were considered second-class citizens and were not afforded the rights afforded to those involved in the legal profession. The attorney Wesley Kenn advocated equality for the Utilities before his untimely death.

Vyna

**Vyna** was a Clansmen woman, and the mate of Das. They had conceived a child together, but she had not yet given birth when Das Took the Stone. She hid her feelings about his death, recognizing the ways of the her people and not wishing to challenge them.

Later, she gave her blessing for Chiana to Take the Stone when her baby was born. She gave birth to her child without any help -- once again fully embracing the traditions of her people. Even after the truth about the Royal Cemetery Planet, and the reason that Clansmen die so young, was exposed to her she refused to challenge the traditions of her people.

Uncharted Territories

The **Uncharted Territories** is a very large sector of space in the Delta Quadrant, home to a myriad of sentient and non-sentient species. Though the region was initially named such due to a lack of star charts, it has retained the name even though it eventually was mapped out.

The Uncharted Territories lie between parts of Peacekeeper Space and the Scarran Empire. Despite having no jurisdiction, both factions operate within it regardless. Most of the Uncharted Territories have remained unaligned with any major factions for much of history, though smaller organizations have emerged. These include small empires such as the Breakaway Colonies.

Zhakul

**Zhakul** was a protoss-controlled but uninhabited world that was highly volcanic. It was discovered shortly after the end of the Aeon of Strife.

The Conclave, determined to hide all information that the Aeon of Strife had ever occurred, sealed away all of the information it could in an archive on the planet. Three preservers protected the information.

In 3104 CE, these preservers were captured by Maar. Their captivity was short-lived, however, as Zeratul soon arrived -- seeking out information on the fragments of prophecy he had learned on Ulan. Zeratul slew Maar and saved the preservers. In thanks, they inscribed more fragments of the prophecy into his mind.

Yal Henta

**Yal Henta** was a Sebacean Peacekeeper, who had served alongside Aeryn Sun for many years. When Aeryn left the Peacekeepers, Henta was shocked but fully believed that Aeryn was a traitor and became resentful of her.

Over the following cycles, Henta was assigned to Scorpius' command carrier. It was here that she encountered Aeryn again -- throwing a drink in her face at their first meeting. A short time later they met again, speaking more civilly. Aeryn tried to explain her departure from the Peacekeepers, but Henta was resolved in her point of view.

When *Talyn* sacrificed himself to destroy the command carrier, Henta saw Aeryn in the chaos of the ship's evacuation and held her at gunpoint. She accused Aeryn of having the destruction planned all along -- and she planned to execute her old friend for the crime. Instead, however, she was engulfed in an explosion and burned alive.

P'Jem

**P'Jem** was the site of a Vulcan monastery, a small Class M planet in between the Vulcan system and the Andorian system.

## History

The monastery at P'Jem was constructed around 150 CE, and stood for thousands of years despite conflicts between the Vulcans and the Andorians.

A set of katric arks were discovered at the monastery. Although Vulcan scientists studied the arks extensively, they could find no sign that any *katra* had been placed in any of them.

In the 3130's, T'Pol visited the monastery and the *fullara* ceremony was performed on her.

Some time after this, the Andorians began to attack the temple. It was ransacked twice, before the *Enterprise* NX-01 intervened in their third attack in June of 3151 CE. The *Enterprise* arrived after Andorian commandos under the leadership of Thy'lek Shran had taken control of the monastery. The crew of the *Enterprise* soon learned that the Andorians suspected the Vulcans had used the monastery to covertly spy on the Andorians -- and further investigation revealed that there was indeed a surveillance operation based out of the catacombs beneath the monastery.

Having been provided with evidence through scans by the *Enterprise*'s science officer T'Pol, the Andorians warned that they were going to hit the monastery with an orbital bombardment. The monastery was evacuated, and the Andorians struck. Vulcan High Command held T'Pol responsible for this, until the charges were ultimately dropped.

This event was, however, one of the first events leading to the reformation of Vulcan High Command.

Tavlek Gauntlet

**Tavlek gauntlets** are powerful short-range weapons used primarily by Tavleks. The device is housed in a bracer that locks around the bearers forearm, and then a series of needles into the arm stab into the arm. These needles inject an addictive stimulant. This stimulant causes excessive aggression and leads to feelings of superiority, while also increasing the physical strength of the gauntlet's wearer. The stimulant also helps increase the speed at which the wearer can heal from injury.

The host also develops an almost psionic connection to the wearer -- firing destructive energy blasts of varying strengths depending on the will of the one wielding the weapon. The wearer can also will the gauntlet to create a brief, circular energy field to act as a defense against other energy weapons.

The only known means to remove a gauntlet is to render the wearer unconscious, at which point the gauntlet immediately releases from the arm. A long-term wearer of the gauntlet will experience a painful withdrawal after this removal and even a short-term wearer will feel exhausted afterwards.

The gauntlets were created by the Tavlek government in the midst of a war and given to their most elite fighters. However, at the end of the war, these fighters refused to stand down, and turned on their own government. As a result, these fighters were banished from Tavlek society and left on an uninhabited jungle planet in the Uncharted Territories. They turned to mercenary work to survive.

Tormented Space

**Tormented Space** is a sector of the Delta Quadrant where frequent electrostatic anomalies make space travel exceedingly difficult. These anomalies are especially difficult on Leviathan biomechanoids, as they are quite harmful to organic matter.

It is located on the border of the Uncharted Territories, near the Scarran Empire. It is largely uninhabited and, throughout history, has seldom been claimed by an significant factions due to the difficulty of traveling within it. Most of the intelligent life found in Tormented Space is barbaric and uncivilized.

## Source

Tormented Space is the setting for much of the fourth season of *Farscape*.
Void

The **Void** is a subspace realm quite different from both the Materium and the Warp. Perhaps one of the largest differences is that the Void itself contains a breathable atmosphere. This atmosphere moves in currents, which can even flow out into the Materium. In the Materium, these currents are impacted by solar winds and gravity. Planets do not exist within the Void, but land masses with the appearance of floating islands can be found.

The Void, like the Warp, is comprised of powerful psionic energy. This energy, however, is very different and is lethal to any psionic creature from the Materium in large enough quantities. Some have learned to wield this energy -- such as the Nerazim of the protoss -- but must do so with great caution as Void energy is absolutely chaotic and unpredictable. Void energy can alter even the physical form of those wielding it, or of inanimate objects that the energy is channeled through.

In 3106 CE, the Terran Dominion, Zerg Swarm, and the Daelaam launched a combined assault into the Void in order to slay Amon. It was a difficult and treacherous effort, during which they fought off various creatures native to the Void, but ultimately Sarah Kerrigan was able to ascend into being a xel'naga and kill Amon. This is the only record, outside of the xel'naga, of any creatures from the Materium traveling into the Void and surviving.

Temlaa

**Temlaa** was a protoss warrior and historian who was mentored by Savassan during the Aeon of Strife. Temlaa's duties involved guarding the xel'naga artifacts held by the Shelak tribe -- the artifacts were covered in writing, a concept the protoss of the time were unfamiliar with as they communicated exclusively telepathically.

One blood relative of Temlaa's is known to historical records, the warrior Raamar.

## History

When Savassan announced he would leave the Shelak tribe in order to study the inscriptions on the xel'naga artifacts, he took Temlaa with him. When the two discovered the khaydarin crystals, they formed a psionic link to each other. Over time they discovered they could access this link even when they were not around the crystals.

The two studied the xel'naga artifacts for some time, even successfully understanding some of the symbols scribed on them -- but the next breakthrough was truly Temlaa's. Temlaa began to experience visions of a cavern full of xel'naga artifacts. Using clues from these visions, Temlaa and Savassan were able to discover the cavern.

Within it, they found the withered bodies of dead protoss, attached to a vine that connected to a massive khaydarin crystal. Savassan attached himself to the vine and he too began to wither, but Temlaa accessed a console in the cavern and managed to save his life. Not only that, but once freed from the vine, Savassan realized the way to ending the Aeon of Strife.

### Legacy

Many centuries later, Temlaa's memories were accessed by the archaeologist Jake Ramsey.

Trill (species)

The **Trill**, or **Trills**, are a humanoid species native to the planet Trill. Though a small segment of the population are joined to a symbiont, the majority of the Trill population is not connected to another organism.

## Physiology

Trill hands are always cold to the touch. One of the primary neurotransmitters in the Trill brain is isobramine.

Most Trill are distinguishable by a row of spots trailing from their foreheads to their toes on each side of their body. A handful of Trill, unwittingly infected by the Klingon Augment virus, have a vastly different appearance -- with cranial ridges and no spots. Other than these physical differences, the Augment virus does not seem to have caused any changes to the capabilities or physiologies of the Trill.

Some unjoined Trill are capable of telepathy and may have other psionic capabilities.

## Culture

The Trill are very technologically advanced, particularly for a species

The Trill developed warp drives sometime prior to the 33rd century, and quickly became familiar with a number of species. They had good enough relations to both the Vulcans and the Klingons to be present on both of their homeworlds. Nevertheless, they kept the existence of the symbionts a secret until 3367 CE when the emergency transplant of the Odan symbiont to a new host during the Peliar Zel negotiations made their existence common knowledge.

Trill law forbids reassociation between a joined Trill and those it may have been intimate or romantic with, in the lives of prior hosts.
Twin Suns of Quell

The **Twin Suns of Quell** were two stars in close proximity to each other, in a region of space known to the Kampeks as the Sacred Stillness, where their god Gezma was believed to have been born. Three commerce stations were positioned around the stars. The Kampeks managed to enact a scheme to destroy the stations, cleansing the sacred region of space.

Phage

The **Phage** was a terrible disease that ravaged the Vidiians -- killing thousands of them every day for thousands of years. As new medical treatments were created, the disease would mutate and adapt. These changes were so rapid, it was impossible for the technology of the Vidiians to keep up.

The initial symptoms of the Phage were severe joint pain. This agony was enough that it killed some victims at this stage -- and it was not uncommon for those infected to seek euthanasia as relief from the pain.

As the disease, it began to devour body tissue and cell structures, causing the body to slowly and painfully cease functioning and fall apart. To manage the illness, the Vidiians resorted to frequent organ and tissue transplants. Unable to always find willing donors, the Vidiians turned to piracy and theft -- learning to steal healthy organs using transporter technology. The Vidiians also commonly kidnapped members of other species and experimenting on them in the hopes of finding a cure.

One Vidiian scientist, Sulan, believed that researching Klingon biology could potentially lead to a cure. In 3375 CE, the problem of curing the Phage captured the interest of the Think Tank -- they were able to produce a solution and the cure was disseminated to the Vidiian population.

Terran Federation

The **Terran Federation**, or **Earth Federation** (or sometimes simply **the Federation**) was the primary political power in the Milky Way following the corruption and fall of the United Federation of Planets. The Federation was a dictatorial, authoritarian regime that primarily used conquest to hold and expand their territories. Many alien races were eradicated as the Terran Federation ruthlessly came to power. The Federation installed puppet leaders on most planets, to keep control over the planets they claimed and to maintain the illusion of autonomy for its member states.

Still, the Federation never completely reigned supreme in the universe. Many neutral worlds persisted in the galaxy, and rebellions were common -- albeit, swiftly crushed. Many tactics were used in an attempt to quell these uprisings before they began -- drugs to keep the population of planets pacified and obedient, manipulation of memories. In at least one case, a massive radiation bomb was installed on a planet to wipe out the entire population if any rebellion began.

The Terran Federation was reigned over by a President -- much as the UFP had been -- who was aided in his or her governance by a High Council. Below this was a Supreme Commander, who had total control over all of the military might of the Federation. In order to bring criminal elements of the galaxy to heel as well, the President was also secretly in charge of the underworld organization Terra Nostra.

Webway

The **Webway**, or **Labyrinth Dimension** (or sometimes **Labyrinthine Dimension**) is a part of the Immaterium that was cordoned off by the Old Ones, allowing them to navigate warp space with ease through their Warp Gates. The Necrons managed to access the Webway as well, through the use of Dolmen Gates. Eventually, it would come to be used primarily by the Eldar and the Dark Eldar. The city of Commorragh was built entirely within this realm of subspace, and the Black Library is also hidden within the maze-like region.

The Webway spans across the Milky Way -- though some say it reaches further. There are those who believe the Webway reaches out to every dimension.

Yonada

The ***Yonada*** was a spaceship built into an asteroid. A group of Fabrini, later called the Creators, built the vessel in order to allow their species some hope of survival after the star in their planetary system began to go supernova. They picked the most notable and worthy members of their species to crew the ship. The ship was roughly 320 kilometers in diameter. It was propelled by atomic energy, which left behind a trail of radiation and debris, and was capable of correcting for gravitational stress. It was armed with chemically-fueled missiles.

The *Yonada* left Fabrina before the planet's destruction. It traveled through space under the control of a complex computer system. The computer was programmed to seek out a habitable world where the Fabrini could establish a new colony. Over the millenia, those aboard came to believe the computer was a deity and called it the Oracle of the People. A sophisticated religion was developed around this belief.

The crew of the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) encountered the vessel when a navigational error put it on a collision course with the planet Daran V. They helped those aboard understand that they were living aboard a spaceship, and were able to correct the navigational error so that the colonists could safely find a new home.

Wanted Beacons (Peacekeeper)

**Wanted Beacons** were devices used by Peacekeepers, which projected holographic images providing information about wanted fugitives to local populations and bounty hunters. They were left on planets and space stations throughout Peacekeeper space.

The devices also stored data regarding the wanted fugitives. They were also able to used to communicate with other Peacekeepers through carefully encoded messages -- though this was not common knowledge outside of the rank and file of the Peacekeepers.

Bialar Crais deployed a number of wanted beacons into the Uncharted Territories regarding the escaped prisoners Ka D'Argo, Rygel XVI, and Zotoh Zhaan. Crais' beacons included a message for Aeryn Sun that offered her amnesty, despite her irreversible contamination.

Xindi-Reptillians

**Xindi-Reptillians** were one of the native sapient species of Xindus. Of the species, they were by far the most aggressive. The other Xindi species believed the Reptillians to be deceitful and untrustworthy, but relied on them for any situation that required brute force.

The Reptillians frequently spoke the saying "Patience is for the dead."

The Xindi-Insectoids were frequent allies of the Reptillians, and they sometimes shared ships.

## Physiology

Xindi-Reptillians were covered in highly textured scales, colored in shades from yellow to brown. They had multiple spikes that emerged from their heads, and two small tusks that protruded from near their mouths. Their eyes were yellow with vertical, slit pupils. Their characteristic facial feature was a series of bumps along their cheekbones.

Like all reptiles, the Xindi-Reptillians were cold-blooded. Their neural pathways were virtually identical to those of Xindi-Primates. They had a carnivorous diet and preferred living food, such as small rodents.

Xindi-Reptillians were very resilient to damage. They were able to survive direct hits by MACO particle weapons, and were utterly unaffected by the phase-pistols set to stun.

## Technology

Reptillians used a biomechanical technology known as techno-larvae in their weapons, such as biorifles and seekers. They used organic grenades, fired from grenade launchers that attached to their biorifles.

On their spacefaring vessels, Reptillians used thermal chambers to help keep them warm in space.

Tebek scrolls

**Tebek scrolls** are ancient Luxan documents kept by Oricans. The knowledge within the scrolls is closely guarded, and the Oricans will turn to their scrolls in the most dire of circumstances.

Nilaam sought a cure for the illness plaguing *Moya* within her Tebek scrolls -- however, the scrolls proved useless as the illness was the result of Nilaam's Ritual of Renewal.

Protostars

**Protostars** are stars still gathering mass from the molecular cloud, while nuclear fusion has just begun at its core. This is a very early stage in the formation of a star. They form when a molecular cloud first collapses from the force of its own gravity.

United Federation of Planets

The **United Federation of Planets**, or sometimes simply the **Federation** (and often abbreviated to **UFP**) was a major political power within the MIlky Way, comprised of semi-autonomous member states existing under a single, central government dedicated to equality and peace. Unlike most political powers of the galaxy, the member states all joined willingly and were not subjugated by other races -- as the case was with virtually every other major political entity. All member states were equal within the Federation.

The most visible body of the Federation, Starfleet, was incorporated in order to explore the galaxy and expand scientific knowledge. However, Starfleet also acted as a naval armada for the UFP.

Uraj Crystal

The **Uraj Crystal** was one of two khaydarin crystals cut by the xel'naga from a massive khaydarin crystal. It was entrusted to the protoss of the Akilae Tribe, who hid it during the Aeon of Strife. Afterwards, the Templar Caste became the guardians of the crystal, and it became infused with the energy of the Khala.

As the protoss expanded their territory, they took the crystal with them. Eventually, it was brought to the planet Khyrador. However, when violent psionic storms ravaged the planet as the Rogue Tribes lost control of their psionic abilities, the protoss colony of Khyrador was abandoned -- and the Uraj Crystal was left behind.

During the Brood War, forces led by Sarah Kerrigan, Praetor Artanis, Dark Prelate Zeratul, and Executor Selendis worked together to locate the crystal on the Terran Dominion occupied world, and sent a probe to collect it. The protoss brought the crystal to Shakuras where Artanis placed the crystal into the xel'naga temple, activating the temple's energies. The subsequent burst of energy purged the zerg from the planet.

Zenet

**Zenet** is the homeworld of the Zenetans, located deep in the Uncharted Territories. The world has little viable farmland, and as such Zenetans are forced primarily to survive with manufactured goods and trade with other worlds. Some Zenetans, less willing to depend on others, have taken to space piracy.

## Source

Zenet is mentioned in the series *Farscape*.
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. By a year later, however, it became clear that they had no alternatives and they began to alter their lifestyle and their technology in order to prevent the planet from dissipating.

Thoi'han

The **thoi'han** are a mostly forgotten and extinct species that engaged in war with the inusannon over the right to colonize Eingana around 125,000 BCE. Little else is known about the thoi'han, except what could be gleaned from the ancient wreckage of their starships on the planet's surface.

Tregans

**Tregans** were a species of mercenaries who are frequently employed by the Peacekeepers. Units of Tregans are led by a Head Tregan and a commander from whatever organization has hired them. Tregans were most successfully and most notably employed by the Peacekeepers to help during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War.

Tregan vessels use harpoon-like weapons to snare enemy spaceships.

Teurac

**Teurac** was an older Sheyang overlord who had command of his own vessel.

Over the course of his career, Lomus' father had done something -- the details of which neither would speak of -- that incurred a great debt. As a result, Lomus became the second-in-command of Teurac's ship.

Teurac discovered the wreckage of the *Zelbinion* shortly after it was discovered by the Peacekeepers under Captain Bialar Crais' command. He and his crew ransacked the ship, killing almost all of the Peacekeepers that Crais had left aboard. They departed, intending to return to claim the ships' defense screen. When he returned, he saw that the Leviathan biomechanoid *Moya* had found the wreckage -- and he decided to claim that prize.

His plan for the Leviathan was put on hold when he discovered a Luxan was aboard -- he attempted to negotiate with Ka D'Argo but soon grew suspicious that D'Argo was perhaps not being honest about the armaments at his disposal. This hesitation, however, led Lomus to take control of the ship and launch an attack of his own. When the attack failed, Teurac berated him and sent him aboard the *Zelbinion*. When that mission failed, Teurac decided he had gotten what he could from the wreckage and departed.

Over the next cycle, Teurac's age began to catch up with him and his fireball breathing ability began to wane, becoming extremely unimpressive. His ship was eventually attacked, and disabled and it was in this condition that he was found by Aeryn Sun -- who was specifically looking for a Sheyang to help knock out the power of a shadow depository in order to rescue John Crichton from imprisonment.

Teurac was unhappy working alongside some of the other mercenaries *Moya*'s crew had assembled for the job, but nevertheless accompanied Stark and Zotoh Zhaan to the depository's power generator. Teurac failed to produce the necessary fireball, even with the aid of taakar serum. The group was set upon by Peacekeepers, although they barely noticed Teurac. He took advantage of their momentary lapse, said goodbye to Zhaan, and shot himself in order to produce the explosion to knock out the depository's power.

Bekhesh later promised to bring Teurac's share of the loot to his family.

Tkon Empire

The **Tkon Empire** was an ancient civilization that spread across the Milky Way. They had highly advanced technology, capable of moving entire stars. They used planets as defensive outposts, which were guarded by entities they called "portals".

During their Age of Makto -- around 600,000 BCE -- the Tkon Empire was wiped out by the Reapers. In an effort to stop the harvest, the Tkon accidentally caused the star in their own system to go supernova -- officially ending their civilization.

Very little evidence of the civilization was left, and only the most thorough students of history would come to learn about them. Some of their writings had survived, allowing later cultures to translate it and learn about the various ages of the Tkon Empire. These included the Age of Bastu, Age of Cimi, Age of Xora, and Age of Makto.

One portal survived the collapse and harvest of the empire -- Portal 63. The portal stood guard in the Delphi Ardu system for thousands of years, until encountered by the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701-D). This allowed the United Federation of Planets to make contact with the otherwise extinct species.
