==A==

Astronomical unit - Commonly referred to as an AU, this is the distance from Sol III to its sun. One AU is equal to approximately 0.5 lancyrds.

Asuka - The Asuka (Katana-class, named for the ship's rough shape) is the pride and joy of Veinslay, boasting simply awesome power and defenses. The amount of weaponry loaded on the Asuka at any one time is more than enough to deal with ten standard Federation battlecruisers. Some of the many systems equipped on the Asuka are four Phoenix Invisible-class creation cannons, seven Kodachi gun-satellites, a high-power dimensional shielding system, Shredder ULR pulse lasers (used in the sterilization of Sol IV, or Mars), and a Shadowstalker full-cloaking system with counterdata modules. The Asuka was named for Break's first love, who was killed in an assault on Thanes IV.

==C==

Creation energy - Energy gotten by drawing upon another dimension. Perhaps the most famous use of creation energy is Veinslay's creation cannons, capable of penetrating dimensional shielding by virtue of its dimensional energy and sheer power. Creation energy is nmed the way it is because when originally discovered, it was looked at from a single-dimensional perspective - it seemed to violate the laws of mass and energy, as the resulting energy seemed to have come from nowhere - or "created".

==D==

Dimensional energy - Similar to creation energy, but used for different purposes. One is dimensional shielding, which will take the energy of whatever strikes it and effectively sends it to another dimension. (Dimensional shielding may be penetrated by using a weapon that harnesses dimensional energy such as a creation cannon, or by using an attack with enough energy to overload the shielding systems so it cannot keep up with the massive amount of energy.) The other common application is dimensional warp, by using a dimensional gate to proceed at speeds exceeding fifty times the speed of light, with a fifteen kilometer margin of error.

==E==

Elyse, Tifa - Twenty year old human female, and member of Veinslay. She acts as the navigator of the Asuka, Veinslay's best ship, as well as the best-equipped ship in the Federation (while it was still part of the Federation fleet). She's usually placed as the second captain whenever Break is away. Has a boyfriend, Break.

==F==

Federation - Nothing fancy - not the Federation of Something, or the Something Federation. Just the Federation will do. They are a large intergalactic organization apparently dedicated to 'keeping the peace', but most citizens are able to see through this veil. In reality, they pressure other planets (neutral, underdeveloped, or otherwise) to join in their perfect vision of the universe, or else face military action. Because of this and more, there are a few anti-Federation organizations (such as Break's Veinslay) out to stop the Federation.

Federation standard - Used in reference to the energy output cap the Federation has put on their weaponry in order to avoid tearing apart the seams of space-time, and the universe itself. The Federation has admitted to having neither the technology nor the brainpower to be able to safely pass the standard, and so have prohibited their RnD system from taking any risks in that respect. Those outside of the Federation most likely have the technology to surpass the Federation standard quite safely, however, as they are not bound by the Federation's rules. Because of this, outsiders are likely to express the output of their weaponry in terms of the Federation standard (i.e., the Mar Sara's Phoenix creation cannos are three times the Federation standard). This was recently dropped due to the discovery of anti-Federation organizations romaing through Federation space. However, the Federation has not done any research to be able to pass this standard safely, which may spell trouble for the stability of the universe...

Feds - Perjorative term referring to members of the Federation. More likely than not used with the word "bastards".

Felys System - Pronounced FAY-liss, this system is the core of anti-Federation activity. It is home to three of the most successful anti-Fenderation organizations, as well as a healthy amount of space pirates. As a neutral sector of space, this system is safe for any space pirates or anti-Federation organization to pass through (even the hierarchy in the Felys system condones these activities). Has eight planets, which are all inhabited. The Federation does not know about the existence of the Felys system at all, since it is so far from Federation space. The entirety of the forces in the Felys system number to about a twelfth of the Federation's force, but what they lack in numbers, they make up for in strength, as Felys system ships are significantly higher in effectiveness and technological strength than Federation ships due to their equipment being able to safely pass the Federation standard. Of course, this is due to the Felys system's scientific and technological advancement, greatly exceeding that of the Federation.

Felysian - A humanoid that lives within the Felys system. While they may look completely human at first, they in fact are three times as dextrous and agile as the average human due to the conditions on their homeworld. Reilina Sylpheed, the gunner of the Asuka, and Elisa "Elly" Rosiel are both examples of Felysians.

==K==
Karyuudo, Tydraad - Ex-Federation captain, Tydraad's actual physical age is unknown due to repeated passage through the warp. Most of Tydraad's files from his 15 (official) cycles of military service (though it can be disputed that he deserted much earlier than reported, and his connections in the Fed higher ups are the only thing that kept him under the radar) are under lock-and-key following his betrayal. Released information reveals his impressive combat histroy in the piloting of assault frigates, and dozens of instances of his acts of space piracy. A tad unstable, and violently against any authoritative figure that would reign over him, he can now be found flying for the Veinslay organization.

Kougenjin - An organization that have been known to be the "laughing stock of the galaxy". Current amount of ships unknown and growing little by little, even as you are reading this. While trying not associating themselves with any organization or group; actually has ties to the Federation High Council, as informers of the outer rim and most neutral zones. They are currently led by an enigma named "Zero", and have a homebase and complete control of the Sol system, and are creating another base in the Argui system to research a new weapon. While they are a bit behind Veinslay's technology, they are catching up bit by bit. Their ships include Archangel, Minerva, Absolution, Evangelion, and other class ships; not much is known about the flagship Tatsumasa, and is constantly under upgrades.

==L==

Lacus - Twenty-one year old human female, and is the backup navigator and communications officer of the Tatsumasa.

Lancyrd - Units of measure for expressing distance. One lancyrd is equivalent to approximately two AU.

Logical armor - New type of dimensional armor developed by the Federation, but the plans for it were stolen by both Kougenjin and Veinslay. It acts as normal dimensional armor, but with one key difference - if the energy type of the attack is low enough or if the energy types between the attack and the defending ship's systems are compatible, the logical armor will send the energy of the attack to the ship's systems for later use, or to immediately improve the putput of the defending ship. If the logical armor cannot do this, it will functional as a normal dimensional shield.

==M==

Matsumoto - Twenty-five year old human female, and lead communications officer for Kougenjin's Tatsumasa.

Miyama, Break - Twenty-one year old human male, and leader of the anti-Federation organization Veinslay. He stands at 5'11", has brown hair, blue eyes, and a constant look of observation on his face. He's always seen wearing a black longcoat with a patterned navy blue headband over his forehead. Commands ten ships, five of which were formerly in the Federation fleet before his position was exposed by Zero of the Kougenjin. He was formerly a Federation commodore, using his high position to make surgical strikes on the Federation without them noticing anything, or even spreading misinformation and calling off attacks made by the Federation on his allies. While not the best gunner or navigator in the galaxy, he was rather well known as a great Federation diplomat during his time there - and a shrewd, effective tactician amongst space pirates and anti-Federation organizations. He's able to see things on a more mathematical plateau, and draw up interesting plans and efficiency diagrams in his head. Has a girlfriend, Tifa Elyse.

==R==

Reality Fractured System - Commonly referred to as the RFS, this system was developed by two of the best minds in Veinslay's RnD, Moritsune and 'Sandman'. Essentially, a system that allows for limited teleportation of a ship, but Tydraad has been able to use it to teleport anything within a two-thousand meter radius (or even area of effect). It does this by catalyzing a dimensional warp - instead of manually opening a dimensional gate for warp, the RFS keeps a small one open within the system at all times, ready to be used. However, this gate is extremely short range, but with its lack of range comes great accuracy - it is able to warp the ship or anything within two kilometers of it anywhere in a 1 AU (~0.5 lancyrds) radius with a five millimeter margin of error.

Relena - Twenty-two year old human female who is in charge of weapons division of Kougenjin's Tatsumasa. Enjoys acting as gunner.

Rosiel, Elisa - Usually referred to her nickname, 'Elly', she is a nineteen year old female Felysian. Acts as the navigator for the Elysium. She is about 5'7" and has long, mid-back length light brown hair. She also acts as the manager of RnD and Engineering, managing all the ship's current equipment and supplies, and making sure everything is on schedule.

==S==

Galactic Standard System Security Ratings - A system rating solar systems by how secure the area is in terms of government control, it's mainly of concern to the vast number of pilots. It is rated on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 being total anarchy and 1.0 being all but impenetrable Federation strongholds. The slang term "lowsec" is often used by the less sophisticated of pilots to refer to the 0.0-0.4 regions, where bandits and pirating organizations have the majority of control over a system. Due to the Federation's incredible size following decades of incredibly successful military ventures, nearly half of "Federation" space is "lowsec" owned in name alone. 0.5-1.0 space is typically safe to fly through, with any pirate in the systems having to be suicidal to even attempt direct action against other ships.

Sol System - Formerly known as the simply the solar system, the Sol System has nine planets. You people should be familiar with this system, as you live in it - put simply, Sol III is Earth, the Sol IV that Tydraad's first ship crashed into was Mars, and the Sol V that Flamuck's ship was nearly launched into was Jupiter.

Sylpheed, Reilina - Nineteen year old Felysian female. Acts as the extremely skilled gunner for the Asuka (her dexterity allows her to make sniping shots from seemingly impossible distances). She is agile even in Felysian terms, and prefers unarmed combat in a man-to-man situation. She is strikingly beautiful, and stands at 5'8", with deep blue eyes. Her hair is raven black, and runs down to her waist.

==T==

Tatsumasa - Flagship of the Kougenjin fleet, current class is unknown, armed with dimensional warp and dimensional weaponry, logical armor, around five creation cannons, eight modified triple buster-class satellite type Tannhäuser cannons, six scanner satellites, also carries thirteen EVA's, currently installing some sort of "dark matter" generators, and researching "white matter" generators.

Triela - Newest addition to the Tatsumasa's crew, ninteen year old human female, and is the gunner of the Tatsumasa.

==V==

Veinslay - Small anti-Federation group based in the Felys system, led by Bureiku "Break" Miyama. Veinslay's race spread is 56% human, 3% Felysian, 11% Klausian, 10% android with emotive vectors, 7% Newmen, and 13% other races, spanning the entire gamut. Currently Veinslay has ten ships - five for use within Federation space (the Masamune, Ragnarok, Astrid, Silvance, and Asuka), and five for use outside of Federation space (the Syzygy, Elysium, Athena, Mar Sara, and the Hawkwind). The group was named for the legendary sword said to have slain several cruel lords in medieval times, and even had the power to destroy negative emotions.

==Z==

Zero - age unknown, not much is known about this human, while he is the leader of Kougenjin, he has proven to know how to piss off people who have pissd him off. Linked to the Federation through a pact he formed for unknown causes, also knows quite a bit about the Federation's operations, possibly indicating that he may have been part of the Federation ages ago, and appears to know something about the Fed's former RnD division.
