Terminology

  • World: Any moon or planet humans can live on without an artificial and enclosed atmosphere.
  • Quadrant: One of the four solar systems on the rim colonized by mankind. Technically a fifth "quadrant", has opened up. It currently has one terraformed world, Angel, and debate is ongoing as to what to name the quadrant.
  • System: A planetary system consisting of the planet and all moons. For example, Regina and Ezra are moons of the gas giant Georgia and all three together form the Georgia System.
  • Empty Black: The blank space between the solar systems that make up the clustered "super-system" that is the 'verse.
  • Pulse Beacon:A transponder found on starships that sends out a pulsed signal on three frequencies (two wave, one radio). The signal is easy to detect, even at long range, but contains little actual information other than the presence of the ship itself. Originally, a starship's pulse beacon contained a unique code which identified the ship and contained it's most recent navigation data. During the Unification War, Independence forces used this data to both spoof existing Alliance and unaligned vessels, and to keep tabs on Alliance transports. Since then, the Alliance has uncoupled their ship's data from the transponders. Two years after the war, the practice of spoofing data codes in pulse-beacons was so wide spread, as to be near useless in tracking illegitimate shipping. And the practice of turning of the beacon became a danger for collisions especially in the heavily trafficked core trade routes. So the Parliament voted to make all Transponders transmit only a generic code which was useful only for doppler distance, and vector analysis. As such the Pulse Beacon is standard issue and used primarily for air/space traffic control, collision avoidance, and emergency tracking.

Organizations

  • The Tongs, not-always-legal organizations that look after the interest of their communities.
  • Blue Sun, the major corporate power in the 'verse. It is sort of like stuff made in China. If you check your house you'll find you have something they've made.
