Bobby Coleman

**Bobby Coleman** was the son of Susan Crichton Coleman and Frank Coleman, the grandson of Jack Crichton and Leslie Crichton, and the nephew of Olivia Crichton and John Crichton. He was thirteen years old when Crichton returned to Earth from the Uncharted Territories alongside other members of *Moya*'s crew in 2003 CE (2403 Galactic Standard). During this two visitation, Bobby recorded over 120 hours of footage on his camcorder, including some things he should not have -- including himself being stung by Ka D'Argo's tongue.

Bobby's footage was eventually turned over to the United States government. This did not prevent the footage from making its way to "Alien Visitation", nor did it stop the program from interviewing Bobby about his experiences.

Bobby Coleman was a character who appeared on *Farscape*.
Agrava

**Agrava** was a planet which the Terran Federation mined vigorously for feldon crystals. It was uninhabited prior to the discovery of the crystals, at which point it quickly became heavily populated.

The Federation did not fully appreciate or understand the energy-harnessing potential of the crystals -- as a result, thousands of people on the planet were killed in a series of explosions. Kerr Avon would later point out that these lives likely would have been taken by the Federation sooner or later anyways, as the regime would want to dispose of anyone except "key personnel" for economical reasons.
Asteroid Fields

**Asteroid fields**, or **asteroid belts**, are fairly common in planetary systems. They consist of small planetoids, debris, and rocks orbiting a star or planet. Asteroid fields are often colonized, as they are generally mineral rich. However, they can be difficult to navigate and are hard on sensors, due to the number of astronomical objects they contain.

One asteroid field in the Uncharted Territories was able to hide two Leviathan biomechanoids from Peacekeeper sensors for several days.

## Source

Asteroid fields are derived from real life and *Farscape*.
Arnessk

**Arnessk** is a Class M planet in the Uncharted Territories of the Delta Quadrant. Along with Qujaga, it is one of two worlds that may have been the homeworld of the Eidelons.

## History

Arnessk was a world full of the Eidelon priests, marked by many temples. Eventually, the Eidelons vanished for unknown reasons. Following their disappearance, the planet was subject to harsh "magnetic summers", when an intense magnetic field made the planet uninhabitable. For 12,000 cycles, this was the case. Though the Interions excavated many sites on the temple, no trace could be found of what happened to the Eidelons.

Eventually, three probes were found that reversed the effects of the magnetic field, restoring the lost Eidelons -- who seemed to have been trapped outside of time. Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis remained on the planet to acclimate the priests to their new time.

Arnessk was greatly damaged by the Scarran flagship Decimator during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War, which destroyed the Darnaz Temple.

Arnessk appears in *Farscape*'s fourth season as well as "The Peacekeeper Wars".
Accatran

**Accatran** is a planet in Beta Quadrant, in the region of the Milky Way that is also known as Segmentum Ultima, on the border of the Ork Empire of Charadon. It is a Forge World, controlled entirely by Adeptus Mechanicus. Prior to this, the world was uninhabited by sentient species but was home to a myriad of inhuman animal life.

The industrial complex of the planet ultimately stripped it of its hospitable environment, making it inhospitable to all save Space Marines and the cybernetically enhanced Mechanicus locals. Nevertheless, the planet became famous for unique weapon patterns used by the Imperium of Man's Imperial Guard.
Arn

An **arn** is a unit of time measurement, used to denote a period of time approximately equal to one Earth hour. It was created by the inability of translator microbes to properly translate units of measurement, and was adopted as an interplanetary unit of measurement throughout the Uncharted Territories, Scarran Empire, and Peacekeeper Space as a result. When those regions were finally contacted by the United Federation of Planets, the arn ultimately adopted by most of the Milky Way.
Beta III

**Beta III** was the third planet of the C-111 system, and was a Class M planet.

The planet Beta III was inhabited by a humanoid species that had almost been eradicated by war around 2,733 BCE. At that time, Landru managed to build a supercomputer -- and give it his identity -- in order to end the violence and create a utopian society. Instead, the Landru computer absorbed each member of the society and took absolute control over the civilization. No one had free will. The civilization stagnated at this point, with each person existing in a zombie-like daze.

In 3167 CE, the USS *Archon* encountered the planet. Landru destroyed the ship, and abosrbed the survivors into its society. Most of the crew was killed.

One hundred cycles later, the USS *Enterprise* came to Beta to investigate the unsolved mystery of the *Archon*. Though the *Enterprise* was also nearly destroyed by Landru, Captain James T. Kirk managed to convince it that it was harming the very society it was intended to protect. The paradox was unsolvable, and Landry self-destructed. The people of Beta III were finally free to govern themselves.

The United Federation of Planets allowed a team of sociologists to stay behind on the planet to help them establish their new, free society.
Bomber (Space Rat)

**Bomber** was one of the Space Rats who acted as one Atlan's henchmen, alongside Brig. When Vila Restal and Dayna Mellanby infiltrated the base on Caspar, Bomber captured them and would have killed them if Dayna had not pretended to be one of Doctor Plaxton's former students.

He was presumably killed in the escape of the *Scorpio*'s crew.
Akkor

**Akkor** was a Sebacean, employed by Natira at her shadow depository. He served as her right-hand man, and held a great deal of authority in the facility -- as well as greeting each client as they came in.

When *Moya* and her crew infiltrated the shadow depository, and later sought to rescue John Crichton from Scorpius' possession, Akkor actively worked against them. In the midst of these conflicts, he managed to mortally wound the Vorcarian mercenary Rorf -- though he was killed in the firefight as well.

## Source

Akkor is a character from the second season of *Farscape*.
Auto-Navigator

**Auto-navigator** was a system installed on some vessels that allowed the computer system to set navigational courses. It was one of the systems of the *Liberator* operated by Zen, though it was a peripheral system to the vessel's navigation systems and could be turned off or stripped down to conserve energy for other functions.

## Source

Auto-navigator is derived from *Blake's 7*.
B'Sogg

**B'Sogg** was the ruthless head of security on a budong mining colony, one which Chiana had spent some time on before joining the crew of *Moya*. During that time, Chiana chose B'Sogg's brother Temmon as her lover -- leaving B'Sogg with a lasting distrust and distaste for the Nebari woman.

When Chiana returned to the colony with her new shipmates, B'Sogg had come to control a Keedva. As an act of revenge for his earlier rejection, B'Sogg had his keedva kill Temmon. Soon, however, John Crichton killed the keedva and Chiana confronted B'Sogg. Though, when faced with the choice, she found she was unable to kill him she did fire into the wall of the dead budong -- causing an acid to pour out over B'Sogg. His fate after this is unknown.

## Source

B'Sogg appears in an episode of *Farscape*.
Battle of the Alentro Quadrant

The **Battle of the Alentro Quadrant** was one of the battles waged as part of the Peacekeeper/Scarran War .Despite Commander Spreddic's best efforts, the Scarrans won a decisive victory and took control of the Alentro Quadrant from the Peacekeepers.

Cavari

**Cavari** is a planet in the Uncharted Territories in the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way. At one point in its history, it was afflicted by a plague and placed under quarantine. The Tarkan Freedom Fighters broke the quarantine, delivering food, clean water, and medicine.

Later in the planet's history, it was visited by Noranti Pralatong.

Cavari is mentioned in an episode of *Farscape*'s fourth season.
"Einstein"

**"Einstein**" was an Ancient who became deeply concerned with John Crichton's ability to predict wormholes, as well as his skill in navigating them and his knowledge of their inner workings, "Einstein" waylaid the human during one of his journeys inside a wormhole.

Einstein begins to test Crichton by showing him various unrealized realities, pulling him from each before the human became a permanent part of any of them. These experiments left Einstein weakened, though he realized he had been mistaken: though Crichton was dangerous because of his wormhole knowledge, removing that knowledge from him was "impossible, impractical, and possibly imprudent."

During the Scarran/Peacekeeper War, Einstein encountered Crichton again -- this time along with Emperor Staleek. Einstein confirmed for the Scarran emperor that Crichton could not create a wormhole weapon.

Later, upon realizing that creating a wormhole weapon would be able to end the war, Crichton returned to Einstein and demanded that the Ancient unlock the knowledge of such technology. Einstein was eventually convinced to do so -- however, when Crichton was unable to stop his wormhole weapon after the war was ended, Einstein appeared and both stopped the expansion of the black hole and removed wormhole knowledge from Crichton's brain.

Ardus

**Ardus** was one a high-ranking member of the Terran Federation, an officer of the Bureau. He was blinded by radiation at some point during his service, and wore a sonoscope to replace his sight. He was the last surviving officer with knowledge of the XX security clearance codes for Bucol-2.

When Commissioner Sleer threatened his family, Ardus reluctantly divulged the information about Bucol-2 to her. He also, however, revealed that he recognized her as Servalan. When he left Sleer's cruiser, she made sure that no flight plan had been filed and then arranged for his ship to be destroyed.
Carrier Beams

**Carrier beams** were used by Orac to send communications over long distances. His beams were the fastest method of communication in the Milky Way at the time, as they moved through the subspace realm eventually known as the Warp. Unfortunately, this made him vulnerable to the Darkness -- who attempted to use Orac's carrier beams to manifest itself in the Prime Reality. Cally ensured that this would never happen.

When the Intergalactic War began, Jenna Stannis asked Orac to alert the Terran Federation of the invading Andromedans because his carrier beams were the quickest way to let Servalan know what was happening.

## Source

Carrier beams are derived from *Blake's 7*.
Challenger (OV-099)

The **Space Shuttle *Challenger*** (designation **STA-099**, then later **OV-099**) was a space shuttle from the NASA program. The was named after the HMS *Challenger*, a seafaring vessel in the British navy. The construction of the vessel by North American Rockwell began in 1972 CE and completed in 1978 CE. It was initially built as a Structural Test Article. In 1979 CE, Rockwell International's Space Transportation Systems Division began to convert the vessel into a space shuttle (or Orbital Vehicle). This construction project lasted 1982 CE, at which point it was tested for flight readiness.

The space shuttle's maiden voyage occurred on April 4, 1983 CE. It quickly proved itself to be one of the most important vessels of the NASA program, and was assigned 85% of NASA's orbital missions between 1983 and 1984 CE. It flew three missions in 1985 CE.

In October of 1985 CE, Jack Crichton was nearly assigned to be the captain of its next mission -- which was scheduled to launch on January 28, 1986 CE. The interference of a time-traveling John Crichton prevented this, as it was actually the result of a fluctuation in the timeline. It would be decades before this information came to light.

When the Challenger launch of January 28, 1986 CE occurred it had a crew of seven -- five astronauts, a scientist, and a school teacher. A seal on the vessel failed during the launch, causing the space shuttle to break apart over the Atlantic Ocean -- 73 seconds after launch. All seven crew members were killed in the disaster.

## Source

The Space Shuttle Challenger was a real vessel in history, however the impending disaster featured prominently in an episode of *Farscape*.
Buster Posey

**Buster Posey** is the Blue RPM Ranger. He is placed second-in-command of the Power Rangers group.

Despite his laid-back demeanor, Posey’s career is anything but quiet. Posey is off to possibly the greatest career start in baseball history. Posey has already been named National League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player, and earned two World Series rings. He has eight years left on a $167 million contract, so Giants fans have a lot more to look forward to from their soft-spoken slugger.

Strong-jawed and bright-eyed, Posey even looks a bit like a young Ed Harris, who played Glenn. He's not so fond of microphones, but the same pristine quality prevails.

Buster is also an indefatigable optimist who rarely, if ever, countenances the idea that he might not succeed in everything he attempts. He also keeps a cool head at all times and is utterly unflappable, even in the most dire or life-threatening situations.

## Abilities

**Baseball:** It's Buster's ability to frame pitches, a talent that requires a catcher to employ deft hands, remain limber physically and exercise sound judgment. A successfully framed delivery typically travels on the fringes of the strike zone. It's the catcher's duty to receive the ball in a way that erases any doubt the pitch is a strike.

Posey never has won a Gold Glove Award for defensive excellence, but statistics prove that he ranks among the better framing artists in the Major Leagues. According to statcorner.com, Posey rated 16th among big league catchers in this category as a rookie in 2010. After his injury-shortened 2011 season, Posey vaulted to fourth in 2012, dropped to ninth in 2013, then rose to sixth in 2014.

Posey starts by positioning himself as low as he possibly can. Thus, he must maintain enough flexibility to sink almost into the dirt as he crouches.

Said Posey, "If you're not starting lower than the ball, your natural move is going to be to go this way with the ball." Here, he makes a downward groping motion with his left hand. He added, "That's not going to look presentable."

Unlike many other formidable hitters, he's never piled up a ton of strikeouts, but this year has been something else entirely. Only two other qualified players in the NL best his 8.8 percent strikeout rate.

Posey must finish receiving the ball with a small flourish.

**Martial Arts:** When Buster battles (in his ranger form or human form), he always does handsprings, powerful punches and martial arts kicks when he fights off the Grinders.

**Super-strength:** Buster is seen to have super-strength.
Budong Mining Colonies

**Budong mining colonies** are settlements built into the corpses of dead budongs. The inhabitants are miners and their families, seeking to strike it rich by finding nogelti crystals in the bones of the budong. These colonies are incredibly dangerous -- the remnants of the budong digestive system are a constant threat to all colonists.

Peacekeepers have been known to use budong mining colonies as internment camps for prisoners.

## Source

A budong mining colony is the setting for one episode of *Farscape*.
Alexandra O'Connor

**Alexandra "Alex" O'Connor** was the girlfriend of John Crichton shortly before he joined IASA. They had a great relationship, and Crichton was even considering proposing to her before she took a medical research job at Stanford University.

Later, Lorana used Crichton's memories of Alex to distract him from helping Zotoh Zhaan on the New Moon of Delvia.

Alex O'Connor is a character who appeared in one episode of the first season of *Farscape*.
Alonso Melethat

**Alonso Melethat** was the human inventor of the energy shield, which he created in 2197 CE. The initial models needed to be tied directly to a power source, and were typically used for stationary objects. They were crude and unable to withstand much damage, but were prohibitively expensive all the same.

Alonso Melethat is derived from *Crusader: No Remorse*.
Author's Notes

This is a page where I'm going to be sort of unofficially collecting thoughts about each piece of the crossover universe.

## The Concept

I want to have a universe with all of the species we've come to know and love from all the franchises in it and interacting, but without necessarily changing the stories we know and love too much. *That said*, as this is sort of a sandbox/fan fiction thing I am also looking at:

1. Fitting in crossover characters and species in different places! (Why not have more aliens on those Federation ships?)
2. Fixing things are wrong/problematic/plot holes in the existing stories.
3. Wrapping up loose plot threads left by the existing stories.

## Notes on Franchises

### Borderlands

* Gonna have to do away with the whole resurrection tech. It's a game mechanic, I don't think it's necessary for the story.

### Cowboy Bebop

* Gonna have to go through episode-by-episode, lots of colonies gonna have to be reworked. Can't do the hyper-gates.
	+ Situation on Earth works perfectly as long as it's not a gate accident.

### Crusader

* Gonna have to work around the teleportation thing. Teleportation is far too advanced a technology for that point in the timeline.

### Dark Matter

* Is this pre-Mass Effect or post-Star Trek (around Blake's 7 time frame?)
	+ Shadow is a drug that's part of both Blake's 7 and Dark Matter
	+ But corporations having that much power seems very pre-Mass Effect
* Things to Fix:
	+ The Derrick Moss/Jace Corso story should have a more satisfying ending
	+ Nyx is so underused, particularly with her prediction abilities
		- Develop Nyx/Two more?
		- More time between Four's betrayal and Nyx's death
	+ Nobody ever finds out Devon is killed by the Seers? What a waste of a plot point.
* Loose Threads:
	+ Five's sister (Carina)
	+ The old guy Alexander Rook answers to?
	+ Alien Invasion!
		- Two is possessed
		- Alternate Universe Duplicates are still around
	+ Corporate War is still ongoing
	+ Robot Revolution brewing
	+ Future Glimpses
		- What/who is Kryden?
		- What/who is the Accelerated?
		- Who is Android grieving when she's crying? How does she cry?
		- What happened to Android's eye? Hair? Her whole aesthetic, really?
		- How did Five survive to the "End of Time"?
Beta Class Asteroids

**Beta Class asteroids** were a type of asteroid, classified by the Terran Federation. They were valuable for mining various ore because the contained multiple minerals.

One such asteroid was found on Crandor, that contained all naturally occurring minerals except herculanium.

## Source

Beta class asteroids are derived from *Blake's 7*.
Arvuna

**Arvuna** is a moon orbiting the planet Dranen. Arvuna is considered a water world, despite not actually being a planet, because 90% of its surface is water or ice. It is home to a considerable and diverse amount of sealife, as well as a myriad of venomous arthropods similar to the creatures found on Palaven. Their carapaces allow them to resist the radiation that comes from Dranen.

Humans have built several colonies, well-shielded from radiation, though the location in the galaxy has made them isolated and all but inconsequential to galactic political powers like the Citadel and, later, the United Federation of Planets. The Reapers, even, failed to reach this remote moon before they were stopped.
Bele

Commissioner **Bele** was the Chief Officer of the Commission on Political Traitors on his home planet of Cheron. Like most of the population of his planet, he was white on his left side and black on his right side. He, like many of his people, held a deep prejudice against people with their colors on the opposite sides. It was this bigotry, rather than Lokai's crime of beginning a revolutionm which drove him to pursue Lokai across the Milky Way for thousands of years -- beginning in 49,000 BCE.

He used a personal force field that blocked both energy weapons and any unwanted contact with physical objects. He wielded an electrical charge that could be used as a weapon. Furthermore, Bele had tremendous psionic abilities that he was able to use to take control of the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701) in 3268 CE.

Aboard the *Enterprise*, he returned to his home planet -- only to discover that in his absence, the racial tensions had destroyed the population. He and Lokai were the last survivors of their species. Despite Captain James T. Kirk's offer to live in the United Federation of Planets, Bele pursued Lokai down to the surface of the planet. Neither was ever heard from again.
Arbiter General

The **Arbiter General** was a position within the Justice Department of the Administration of the Terran Federation. The Arbiter General held considerable influence -- able to manipulate evidence against political enemies of the Federation, and being virtually untouchable by the laws of the government.

Ven Glynd held the position of Arbiter General before defecting from the Federation.

Berg

**Berg** was partnered with Arle in his final mission against the Terran Federation, members of Kasabi's resistance group on Earth. Despite orders to stop, the two of them ventured too far into the Forbidden Zone that surrounded the main computer core. The defense mechanisms in the zone were activated and both rebels were killed as a result.
Bettina Fairchild

Doctor **Bettina Fairchild** was an entity created by the Scarrans in order to mentally torture John Crichton through a simulation of Earth. While, physically, she was an exact replica of Aeryn Sun, her personality was vastly different -- she was something a party girl, and joked much of the time, even with her patients.

In the simulation, Fairchild was one of the doctors who worked with John after the failure of the Farscape Project. She also spent time at a bar, immediately befriending Gary Regal. As the simulation became increasingly bizarre, her rational attitude became increasingly mocking and her outfits became more and more absurd.

## Source

Dr. Bettina Fairchild appeared in one episode of *Farscape*.
Br'Nee

**Br'Nee** was a scientist, specializing in botany and pharmacology, who lived on the Botany Asteroid within the asteroid field near the Gammak Base in the Uncharted Territories. The asteroid had been seeded with life over three hundred cycles before Br'Nee encountered *Moya*'s crew there -- and Br'Nee was over two hundred cycles old himself by the time this occurred.

In order to rid the asteroid of herbivores, Br'Nee and his people introduced a species of calcivores onto the asteroid. Eventually, Br'Nee and his people returned to the asteroid -- at this point, only one calcivore remained alive, named M'Lee. She began to pick off Br'Nee's people one by one. Eventually, Br'Nee was the only one left alive.

It was at roughly this point that *Moya* arrived on the asteroid -- responding to a distress signal sent by M'Lee. She described Br'Nee as a ravenous creature out to kill them. Due to the thin atmosphere of the asteroid, he was initially unable to dispute these claims -- but, when the opportunity presented itself to explain, he seized it and described what M'Lee had done to his people. He omitted the fact that his people had exploited and abandoned hers.

When John Crichton learned the truth, he confronted Br'Nee. Br'Nee began to bargain with the crew of *Moya*, telling them he had maps to get them out of the asteroid field and away from the Peacekeepers. Zotoh Zhaan went with Br'Nee to procure these maps. When Crichton reached the lab soon after, it appeared that it had been attacked by M'Lee and that M'Lee had taken Zhaan. In truth, this was a ruse and Br'Nee had taken Zhaan captive and was preparing to study her. When Crichton realized this, he returned to the lab and the two briefly fought -- until Br'Nee was sawed in half by his own laser. M'Lee devoured the marrow from his corpse's bones.

## Source

Br'Nee is a character who appeared in an episode of *Farscape*.
Aurora Chair

An **Aurora Chair**, often simply called "**the Chair**", was an interrogation and torture device invented by Scorpius and used by the Peacekeepers. The original was found in the Gammak Base, though Commandant Mele-on Grayza had one installed on her command carrier. The Aurora Chair was primarily used to extract information from the minds of prisoners, and was considered an extremely useful method of doing so in cases where the subject was unwilling. The machine sorts through the minds of each subject, an experience that is terribly painful, going deeper depending upon the settings. The chair is also capable of removing information entirely. Repeated sessions in the chair frequently resulted in insanity.

Some species are more resistant to the chair than others -- Baniks and humans being among the most notable. No species is known to be capable of completely resisting the effects of the chair and no information or memory can be hidden from the chair. It is possible, however, to feed false information to the chair.

Scorpius' chair was used to glean information regarding the Scarrans' Chrysterium Utilia flower from Stark, and information regarding wormholes from John Crichton. Scorpius himself would become a subject of the chair at the hands of Grayza.

## Sources

The Aurora Chair is seen and mentioned in a number of *Farscape* episodes.
Ardra

**Ardra** was an entity from Ventaxian mythology -- similar, in many ways, to the Devil from human mythology or Fek'lhr from Klingon legends in that she provided punishment for evil behavior. It was considered bad luck to even speak her name. She was renowned for making deals, though they always were disproportionately in her favor.

Unlike other comparable myths, however, Ardra was the central figure of Ventaxian mythology. According to legend, Ardra struck a deal with the leaders of the Ventaxians -- one thousand cycles of peace and prosperity, before the entire Ventaxian population became her slaves. This was outlined in the Contract of Ardra.

In truth, the leadership of the Ventaxians had concocted this plan in order to bring their people back from the brink of destruction. Nevertheless, the Ventaxians believed the myth and thus, in 3367 CE, when a con artist arrived on Ventax II purporting to be Ardra herself and using highly advanced technology to create the magical effects that "proved" who she was, the Ventaxians almost gave up everything to her. It was only when her ruse was discovered by the crew of the USS *Enterprise*-D that the truth of the contract -- and her identity -- came to light.

Ardra is derived from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. For canon information, please visit Memory Alpha.
Adrexan Vapor

**Adrexan vapor** is a highly combustible gas, which has the appearance of a white fog. Adrexan vapor is kept in high pressure containers, isolated from any sources of combustion and kept at extremely cold temperatures. When it is released from these special containers, it can be absorbed into both metals and biological materials. Once ignited, it burns at extremely high temperatures -- enough to severely damage Leviathan biomechanoids and to destroy Karack metalites.

Some talented chemists are capable of creating adrexan vapor. Zotoh Zhaan created the substance in order to destroy Karack metalites that had infested *Moya*.

## Source

Adrexan vapor is seen in an episode of *Farscape*.
Bek

**Bek** was the brother of the Shadow addicts Hanna and Petey, though he was not a user of the drug himself. In an effort to escape Space City, Bek and Hanna were captured and detained with the crew of the *Liberator*. After helping in their escape efforts, Roj Blake brought them aboard the *Liberator*.

After the defeat of the Darkness, Bek destroyed the moon disc plantation on Zomba. He then returned to Space City to fight against the Terran Federation and the Terra Nostra. For his part, Blake promises to return in three Earth years -- though this is likely to never have occurred.
Adrian Maro

**Adrian Maro** was the assistant to Tabor Calchek, handler of the *Raza*. After Tabor disappeared, Adrian and his bodyguard Solara Shockley briefly joined the crew of the *Raza*. Though Adrian was naive and somewhat cowardly -- often in need of rescuing, he was also very compassionate.

After a short time, Adrian realized his place was not aboard the *Raza*, and he and Solara took their leave from the crew. Adrian was determined to become a better version of his mentor Tabor.

## Source

Adrian Maro is derived from *Dark Matter*.
Arrian

**Arrian** was one of the members of the rebellion on Albian. He was assigned to guard the rocket silo, along with one other rebel. Provine managed to kill one rebel to access the silo, in his attempts to escape. He offered to take Arrian off of the planet with him -- when Arrian refused, Provine shot him and stole his uniform.
Amagons

The **Amagons** are a culture of space-faring criminals -- although they are most notable for being smugglers, they also engage in robbery, piracy, slave-trading and a myriad of other immoral schemes to turn a profit. They have even been known to engage in bounty hunting -- though without the approval of the R.A.C.

Jenna Stannis was, over the course of her own career as a smuggler, briefly associated with the Amagons. Some time later, Tarvin and a crew of Amagons answering to him boarded the *Liberator* after posing as a ship in distress -- a typical tactic of the Amagons to lure in unsuspecting victims.

Despite being an enemy of virtually every galactic government in the Milky Way's long history, the Amagons have been able to persist without interruption. This is largely credited to the fact that their base or bases of operation have never been discovered.

## Source

The Amagons are derived from *Blake's 7*.
Biomechanical Neural Implant

The **biomechanical neural implant**, also called the "**Hand of Friendship**". was a piece of technology present on *Talyn*, history's only biomechanoid gunship hybrid. The implant could be attached to a humanoid host, such as a Sebacean, as the hybrid vessel was not designed to be controlled by a Pilot. The implant allowed the host to mentally control the gunship in much the same that a Pilot controls an ordinary Leviathan biomechanoid, though the implants were considerably unstable by comparison.

This instability included the potential for cybernetic bleed-back, as the gunship was able to use the implant in reverse as well. This meant that the Sebacean pilot of the gunship could be controlled by the ship, and could even see or experience things that were planted in their mind by the ship itself.

In certain instances, the gunship hybrid was able to implant more than one host with Hands of Friendship. The implant could also be overridden by the vestigial remnants of the Pilot's den, which was not fully bred out of the hybrid.

Pops Solomon (Maternal Grandfather)

**Erica Goldberg**is a fictional character on the popular U.S. television sitcom *The Goldbergs* (2013–present). She is played by Hayley Orrantia.

She is the eldest child of Beverly and Murray Goldberg, and has two younger siblings Barry, and Adam.

Show creator Adam F. Goldberg does not have a sister, but Erica's name is derived from his real life brother Eric.
Black Marker

**Black Markers** are mysterious objects sometimes found on planets that have life. There are a myriad of theories regarding their origin, but it is known that they do not develop naturally on those planets. The Black Marker located on Earth is believed to have arrived on the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Jacob Danik believed that Black Markers emitted signals that aided developing species into gaining sentience. The signals undoubtedly do have an effect on behavior -- once the Black Marker on Earth was discovered, many humans were driven to found the religion of Unitology and begin worshipping it as a sign of God, believing that humans were created by aliens and would reunite with them in the afterlife. It seems likely these signals also compel sentient species to create Red Markers as an energy source -- as this has occurred both on Earth and on Tau Volantis.

Eventually, the signals from the Black Marker would drive the sentient species into violent insanity. Those killed in the resulting bloodshed would be transformed into Necromorphs. Once enough Necromorphs had been created, they would gather around the source Red Marker and begin a Convergence Event. This would activate all of the Red Markers and empower the Black Marker to rise into orbit -- generating high winds to bring biological organisms with it -- and transforming into a Brethren Moon.

Ultimately, all organic life on the planet would be consumed into the Brethren Moon.

Black Markers are derived from *Dead Space*.
Auto-Repair

**Auto-repair** systems were commonplace technological systems in most spacefaring vessels, and even in many space stations and planet-side bases of the Terran Federation. An advanced version of auto-repair was installed aboard the *Liberator* as well.

Though auto-repair systems were invaluable, they did have limitations. Auto-repair systems were not capable of predicting or preventing future damage. Auto-repair systems also could not simultaneously repair all systems, but rather worked through damages in a methodical, predictable pattern. Lastly, auto-repair systems relied upon sensors to dictate which systems were damaged or operating below capacity. Should those sensors fail to function, however, auto-repair systems would not engage.
Belters

"**Belters**" were the name of humans born in the Vulcan Asteroid Belt. Belters could be recognized visually because, due to the lower gravity of their environment, they were taller and thinner than humans born on Earth and often had deformities in their physical development. Because of these deformities, Belters were often dehumanized by residents of Earth, Luna, and Mars. These deformities also made it incredibly difficult for Belters to function in normal gravity. It was also very difficult for Belters to have children, for the same reason, though Belter women frequently relocated to Ceres Station as the spin gravity made pregnancies and deliveries far more predictable.

The Belters were primarily a poor, working class group of people whose labor, primarily mining, provided important resources to the rest of Sol system. The value of this intensive labor did not prevent them from being oppressed and mistrusted. Eventually, the Belters began to resist the more organized political powers of the solar system and began to organize themselves -- this movement gave birth to the Outer Planets Alliance (or "OPA").

Belters had a culture that developed independently of those living on the inner planets. This included a dialect, known as Belter Creole, and several gestures which could be used to communicate while in a space suit. Though advances in artificial gravity and medical technology eventually led to the disapearance of the Belters, certain aspects of their culture persisted in the Sol system for centuries afterwards.
Bioloids

**Bioloids** are biological androids that take the appearance and mannerisms of living beings. The Scarran Empire frequently creates bioloids to infiltrate their enemies, taking individuals captive and then sending a bioloid to replace them. The Kalish, however, have been known to create bioloids for longer and more extensive missions.

Externally, bioloids appear as whomever they are intended to appear as. Internally, they are a mixture of bio-organic materials and technological components. The mixture between these varies from bioloid to bioloid. For instance, the copy of Aeryn Sun created by the Scarran Empire was largely technological, whereas Sikozu was almost entirely made of biological components.

Bioloids could vary in their complexity, due to a number of factors. These included the speed at which the bioloid was constructed, and the complexity of the bioloids mission. In general, however, bioloids are able to reattach severed limbs and appendages but are, unfortunately, incapable of tolerating translator microbes.

Amelia Earheart

**Amelia Earheart** was one of the first female pilots on Earth, and became famous for flying to locations all over the planet but was particularly of note for being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1937 CE, she embarked on a mission to fly across the world -- starting in New Guinea, with the plan of going around the equator with her navigator Fred Noonan. Secretly, the mission was an intelligence-gathering mission financed by the government of the United States of America but it was doomed to failure.

While over the Pacific Ocean, the plane began to run low on gas. An SOS signal was broadcast -- and then the plane disappeared. Years were spent trying to solve the mystery, but to no avail. In truth, the plane had been abducted by the Briori. Noonan and Earheart were brought -- with more than three hundred other humans -- to the Delta Quadrant, with the intention of using them as slaves. The humans quickly overthrew the Briori and established a home for themselves, although Earheart and Noonan -- and six others -- remained in stasis. They became known as "the 37s" by the human population.

In 3371 CE, the crew of the USS *Voyager* discovered these people, and released the 37s from stasis. The Starfleet crew offered all of these humans a chance to travel with them back to the Alpha Quadrant, but ultimately they chose to remain behind in their newly established home. Amelia Earhart was gratified, however, to learn of the important legacy she'd left behind on Earth and that she was a hero to Captain Kathryn Janeway.

## Legacy

The disappearance of Amelia Earheart became one of the most famous unsolved mysteries on Earth for century. It was still considered a great mystery as late as the 32nd century. The United Federation of Planets had even named a starbase and a starship after her.

Pria Lavesque, a time-traveling thief -- unaware of *Voyager*'s encounter -- would frequently take credit for Earheart's disappearance.

Central Clinic

**Central Clinic** was a medical facility in the European Dome City on Earth under the rule of the Terran Federation. On the date 52.6.8, three children who had allegedly been molested by Roj Blake were patients in the clinic, treated by Doctor Havant. On the same day, Seer, Aylmer, Bric, Wyle and Mora were all patients.

The access code to the public records of the Central Clinic was alpha-00288-alpha.

Anti-Contamination Bags

**Anti-contamination bags** were a special kind of body bag used to handle the corpses of people who had died from biological contaminants in laboratories or on scientific vessels. These air tight bags quarantined the corpses and prevented germs or infections on the dead bodies from spreading.

One such bag was used to retrieve the body of Wardin from Wanderer *K-7*.

Arrakis Sadar

**Arrakis Sadar** is a primarily desert planet that was colonized by humans relatively early in their explorations of space.

The planet was used as a base of operations for the Procyon Insurrection, and was one location where the General was known to hide from the Galactic Authority.

Arrakis Sadar is derived from *Dark Matter*.
Bishan

Dominar **Bishan** was the cousin of Dominar Rygel XVI. Bishan took the throne of the Hynerian Empire while Rygel slept, exiling Rygel from Hyneria and putting him into Peacekeeper custody.

Bishan ruled over the Hynerian Empire for over 130 cycles, though he was an ineffectual ruler and the Hynerian Empire was severely weakened. When the Peacekeeper/Scarran War began, Bishan was a desperate to keep his subjects under control. To that end, he sent a plea to Rygel to return to the Empire.

Alpha Centauri Concordium

The **Alpha Centauri Concordium of Planets** (or **Centauri Concord**) is a coalition of the colonized planets of the Alpha Centauri system -- with the exception of the planet Chiron. The first colony of the Concordium was the Manswell Expedition, which had colonized Alpha Centauri III after departing Earth in 2875 CE. When contact was reestablished, the colony retained its independence from Earth. As other planets in the system were colonized and declared their independence, the Manswell Expedition became the leaders of the emerging Concordium -- with Alpha Centauri III the capital planet and the city of New Samarkand becoming the capital city.

In 3161 CE, the Alpha Centauri Concordium were founding members of the United Federation of Planets -- alongside United Earth, the Andorian Empire, the Vulcan High Command, and the Tellarites.

It should be noted that, despite humans having once colonized the planet Chiron, that planet is not considered a member of the Concordium as contact with that colony has never been able to be established.

Arthenn

The **arthenn** were a species with highly advanced technology, though they confined themselves primarily to the Zelene system. They originated on the planet Helyme. An unknown cataclysm wiped out all complex life on that planet. Another of their colonized planets -- Epho -- shows indications that it was hit with an orbital bombardment.

The arthenn were wiped out by 298,000 CE.

Cheron

**Cheron** (or **83 Leonis B V**) is a planet near the southern edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone in the Beta Quadrant. It is also near the Coalsack Nebula. In the 83 Leonis system, it is the fifth planet circling the second star. Around the year 49,000 BCE a revolution began -- started by Lokai -- which led to a catastrophic war that eradicated the sapient species native to this world.

The planet remained uninhabited for millenia afterwards. During the Earth-Romulan War, this planet was considered strategically important by the Romulan Star Empire. It became the site of a pivotal battle in that war.

In 3268 CE, the two survivors of the native species returned aboard the USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701). They discovered that their racially charged conflict had wiped out the species. Despite being offered the chance to live as members of the Federation, Lokai and Bele opted to remain on the surface of the planet and continue their conflict.
Barradas III

**Barradas III** was the uninhabited third planet of the Barradas system. During Earth's 14th century, the Debrune had built an outpost there -- following their expulsion from Vulcan. The Federation Archaeological Survey had examined and excavated the ruins on the planet's surface.

In 3370 CE, Arcturus Baran raided this planet in search of one of the pieces of the Stone of Gol. During the raid, he was able to capture William T. Riker of the USS *Enterprise*-D.

Central Science Complex

The **Central Science Complex** is an educational facility in the Terran Federation, from which some of their greatest scientists have graduated. Hal Mellanby had graduated from this complex, and often wore a medallion given to graduates. Dayna Mellanby wore it in his honor for some time after his death. Hower also had a similar medallion, given him upon his own graduation from the Complex.

Arcturus-4

**Arcturus-4** was a space station in the territory of the Galactic Authority -- although the denizens of the station frequently operated outside of their authority. It made a short-term home for many of the worst criminals in the Milky Way.

For a time, this included several members of the Procyon Insurrection, including an undercover John Anders. Seeking revenge against The General, Six visited the station but ultimately only ended up killing a Transfer Transit Clone of the General.

Charl

The **Charl of the Tents of Goth**, or sometimes simply "the **Charl**" is the ruler of Goth. The title is passed down along one family lineage -- through whatever male heirs are available. If no male heir is available, the title is passed on to the eldest female of the line.

The title, though contained within one family, was highly contested. Both Gola and Rod plotted to usurp their father, and throw him in prison. Rod, seeking the position of Charl, fought Gola in combat -- but was defeated. Their sister Tara, however, took the opportunity to poison Gola and become the Charl herself.
Benos

**Benos** was the self-proclaimed leader of the pirates of Domos, although he was a subordinate of Velis. He captured Kerr Avon, believing him to be a survivor of a crash, and took his teleport bracelet. This was a short lived victory, however. During the subsequent slave auction, Nebrox stole the bracelet from Benos. Mere minutes later, Benos was shot and killed by Avon.
Battle of Stalaro

The **Battle of Stalaro** was a battle waged by the Peacekeepers against a less technologically advanced people. Rather than exclusively using pulse weapons, the armaments used in much of this battle were considered significantly more crude and barbaric.
