Go Back ┘
Hydro-recovery Organisms: Some species can use water to enhance their recovery abilities. Esuh, Detir, and Pots are only some of the Hydro-recovery Organisms.

Thus, all Great Embassies should be equipped with pools or water restoration pods for the convenience of the alien ambassadors.

He was on Cryogenic Preservation for almost one hundred years.
Go Back ┘
Juggernaut (Class 5 Spaceships): The biggest class of spaceships, Juggernauts are mainly used for military operations. A Juggernaut is able for total annihilation in grand scale, making their production limited to only a handful per species. The Five Great all own Juggernauts in a descending priority from the top. That means that the Phadh, the Rank 1 Species, own 5 Juggernauts and so on.
Go Back ┘
K.G.A (Known Galaxy Archives): After a United Empires regulation, Chroniclers have access to the Known Galaxy Archives, the collected knowledge of any species ever met. It is an invaluable tool for the expansion of human and alien knowledge, as well as a way to communicate and learn more things about each different species.

Go Back ┘
O. Tech: Original Technology, is a slang term Chroniclers use to identify technology not appearing on the K.G.A. It is a great deal for Chroniclers to come up with O. Tech since it usually leads to many years of technological process.

Originator: Originators are an elite group of selected operatives whose deeds are close to legends. Originators are picked from every species regarding their skills, intelligent and their ability to understand and react to every situation.

Go Back ┘
Orihans: An almost-
extinct alien species that were hunted for their silky furs and adamant bones. United Empires legislation has forbidden hunting Orihans, but the galaxy is too big a place for the universal laws to apply everywhere. It is estimated that only a depressing one million of them exist in the whole universe, making them a hard and exotic prey.
Go Back ┘
Phadh (Rank 1 Species): Enormous, tree-like creatures that live for hundreds of years the Phadh were the ones that ended the Intergalactic War through their use of advanced technology and martial aptitude. Phadh has been the first since the beginning of the Species Rank, making them a potent adversary, politically and military. However, since the last war, the Phadh have limited their appearances since their relatively small population doesn't allow for them to endanger their status.
The Phadh grow throughout their lives and only return to their home planet to die. They are a usually peaceful race, but they won't think twice when challenged.
Go Back ┘
Pots: Detir and Pots share the same planet and some common ancestry, but they are two entirely different species. Their ancestors were flying creatures that soared the skies of their world while using their endless oceans for reproduction and hunt. But, after one of the many cataclysmic events that changed the geomorphology of their home planet, Pots only inherited their flying ability.
Their hydro-recovery system works slower than their cousins, Detir, but it's easier to activate it, making their intergalactic travels easier. Most of the time, Pots are good politicians and diplomats since they retain a “bird's point of view”, making it easy for them to read the body language.
They have petitioned countless times for a rank in the Five Great, but they are always turned down because they can't work well with their distant cousins, the Detir, who own the military power of their home planet.
Go Back ┘
Primordial Earth: The origins planet of the human race.
Go Back ┘

Go Back ┘
Renters (Pair): An indigenous species to the Esuh home planet, Renters, were amphibian creatures that always came in pairs. A pair of Renters was the Esuh traditional dish for celebrations and unions. However, when they almost hunted them to extinction, the Esuh started breeding them and changing their genes to make them fatter and more delicious.
Go Back ┘
Sciri: The Esuh home planet. The Esuh made sure to destroy it when they left in search of a shelter from the Cube’s powers.
Go Back ┘
Sectors: The Known Galaxy is divided into hundreds of Sectors, making it easier for the council to rule them. New Sectors are added every year, making the council a huge, vibrant association.
Go Back ┘
Seven Prisons: And sometimes called and seven systems, is some type of Esuh swear. It’s yet unclear why the use of Seven Prison and Seven Systems is that important to the Esuh culture.
Go Back ┘
Silver: A peculiar and quirky Chronicler’s assistant that has many forms. Her advanced artificial intelligence and her attention to details deem her an irreplaceable assistant to Eladia.
Go Back ┘

Go Back ┘
Uncharted Region: see Known Galaxy
Go Back ┘
Vlatall (Rank 2 Species): Vlatall are tiny, sphere-like creatures that can float in mid-air. Even though some of the first people that discovered the Vlatall thought they were a cute species that could be exploited in markets all around the galaxy, the Vlatall turned out being fierce adversaries.
Vlatall are collective-mind creatures; that means that they all share the same mind through their telepathy powers. That makes them great strategists but also highly religious species. A Vlatall never dies, but instead, it survives in the memories of his brethren. Their religion has inspired many other species to try and come up with an explanation about their telepathic powers, but it's not easy to capture and experiment with a Vlatall.
Their home planet is a gas giant the likes of the Towering Saturn of the Original Solar System. Thus, they're mostly gas-based sentient beings that neither are born nor die. So, the conventional research methods do not allow for their understanding. Still, it is rumored that humans have found a way to contain them and actually grab the second rank from them.
Go Back ┘
Xioria: One of the barren worlds that Humans colonized in the early days of the Space Boom, Xioria is thought to be a mineral goldmine. After many human changes to the planet’s ecosystem, Xioria is now almost always ravaged by very strong sandstorms that don’t allow for life to develop above ground.
Go Back ┘
Yaerus: Humanity’s Capital Planet. Unlike Primordial Earth, Yaerus is consisted of 60% water and 40% land, making it an easier place for humans to colonize. The planet has a bigger radius than Earth but retains the same gravitational pull. Around Yaerus, two moons turn in unison, controlling the tides.
Go Back ┘
Zan: A Primordial Earth resident, Zan is a feral teenage boy that’s adept at tracking prey and hiding in the shadows. Hairier than the typical humans, and with long hands that easily touch the ground, his species has taken a different evolution path to the standard human.
Go Back ┘
Zeania: The Phadh home planet. Even though the Phadh consider Zeania their first and last home, the planet is just a huge necropolis meant for the Colossi that aren’t able to move anymore. It’s a beautiful, vibrant planet since Phadh don’t allow for outsiders inside it. Also, fire and every other dangerous, environment changing activities are strictly forbidden.
Go Back ┘
Ziurus: A Planet in the Uncharted Region of the Known Galaxy. Jasih was able to remember that this planet was once colonized by the Nusae, making it a great place to search for more Nusae relics.
