This is the page for the Space RP going on in AC. You may add a piece of information sorted by correct letter (last name first for characters). You an also request a definition or clarification of a term by adding it to the proper section, and perhaps specifying who would know the specifics. If you want to know what something is or how it works, you should refer here. Please add definitions that could be helpful, and add requests. Feel free to add to or clarify existing definitions as well.

Info on Tydraad Info on Zero and the Kougenjin Definition of Lowsec and its numerical system (requested by Break, asking Tydraad)

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.

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.

L

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

M

Miyama, Break - Twenty-one year old human male, and leader of the anti-Federation organization Veinslay. Commands ten ships, five of which are in the Federation fleet. Has a girlfriend, Tifa Elyse.

S

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 gunner for the Asuka.

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, and 20% 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.
