Meseriond crystalplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigMeseriond crystal

Meseriond is a synthetic crystal with almost total internal refraction, used to store information. They are particularly used to transport highly sensitive information which must not be intercepted.

During final processing of the crystal, a stream of data is injected, whilst simulataneously finalising the properties of the crystal so that it infinitely refracts within the crystal structure. The data is held within the crystal as a static stream. The data can only be retrieved…

Ra and Ratérplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigRa and Ratér

Ra (RAH) and Ratér (rah-TAIR) are mutually-orbiting binary planets in the Cronox System. The two are both marginal for human life but were settled many millennia ago. Rivalry and conflict between the two throughout their history laid the foundation for a series of accords for mutual co-operation, which was the foundation for the

Official Naming Conventionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigOfficial Naming Convention

Official Naming Conventions are common interstellar agreements about the naming of stars, systems and planets. Planetary names in particular can be highly politicised, because long-established worlds may have a variety of local names used by different groups or nations, names applied to them by other planets in the same system, and yet other names applied by cultures in distant systems or by colonial powers.

The bandar are a highly advanced non-humanoid civilisation native to the heavy gravity world, Bantmitual. Though gregarious amongst their own kind and having advanced technological abilities, few bandar leave their world of birth, and no bandar has ever left their home system. They give their name to the

Hyperdriveplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigHyperdrive

Most modern interstellar space travel is achieved using variations on the tachyon transference drive (TTD), variously called the tachyon drive or hyperdrive. This circumvents the laws of mass and energy by “flipping” a vessel travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light into tachyonic particles. These particles have no mass in the convention sense, as they are incapable of interacting with sub-luminal matter. They also travel at the speed of light within their own point of …
