Alea : SS IX's planet

Alpha Quest : MC III (Eagle) version of Project: Space Seekers created in 1985.

Andy: 1. The man abducted from Earth who became the navigation officer aboard the crippled Tul Kern with Randy's Crew. 2. Fumut The word for "human". 3. Fumut Fred's name, in the Fumut language.

Andy Andy: Fumut Harold's name, in the Fumut language.

Aravis : SS VIII's planet

Armegas: A quasi-evil spirit cursed and trapped within the Tul Kern, Armegas could only assume solid form during the night. The rest of the time he existed solely as a spirit, locked within the hull of Baduuku's ship. Armegas joined forces with Shath during the fight to defeat the Dragonne invasion.

Armtool: A Space Seeker device encasing the right or left forearm of a Space Seeker, equipped with good scanners, a jetrope attachment, and a bogatast in the basic model. Armtools have inlcuded various and sundry other items at different times in the Space Seeker development, such as capsule guns which fired small capsules to varying effect.

ASTER : Atomic Structure Tearing Eraser Ray

AU: Astronomical Unit. An AU is the distance that light travels in 8 minutes, more easily conceived as the distance between the Earth and the Sun. 93 million miles.

Battle of Five Omnispheres: An invasion attempt by the combined forces of several outside Omnispheres, led by their respective Omnilords, to conquer the riches of our Omnisphere and gain the knowledge of Sector One. Fadeaway, Paradox, and the Watcher fought in the battle and managed to defeat the invading fleets.

Baybay: A race of hugely strong ape-men, slaves to the Blin and food for the Brillitz. The Baybay, as observed by Randy's crew, are fairly brutish, enjoy inflicting pain, and are (mostly) resigned to Fate.

Billy: An old, broken down, erratic Zat unit that is slaved to Captain Randy.

Bizzerk: a giant spaceship created by Zatazan eons ago to house all the wisdom and might of the Omnisphere. Bizzerk is a little insane with the Bizzerk entity, and the ship remains capricious and inscrutable in its objectives. Recently, Bizzerk has served as OmniLord of our Omnisphere. Bizzerk's symbol is a happy face.

Bizzerk Entity: a warped, slightly crazy melding of the Bizzerk AI and Zatazan which controls the mighty ship, Bizzerk.

Bizzerk Wars: A multi-Omnisphere, multi-dimensional combat in which the Space Seekers themselves played a very small role. All forces for good and evil fought in the conflict as parallel dimension-versions of Bizzerk all converged in several universes to fight for control of reality. A totally mind-boggling conflict that left many feeling really dwarfed by the power and complexity involved. The Space Seekers were able to defeat a few of the "evil" Bizzerks, but whether that had any real effect on the outcome will never be known. In the end, Order won out over Chaos and the Omnisphere still exists.

Black Cube: A typically inert material that can be shaped to any form and is vistually unbreakable. Black Cube material is primarily used to contain dangerous materials, such as homicidal Zat units.

Blackout: (AKA Space Seeker XVIII) One of the most powerful Space Seekers in existence, Blackout's body was replaced with animate Black Cube material. Blackout was the sometimes Mamna of Hyperion. Blackout has fought and won far too many battles to list here.

Blin: (pronounced bleen) A spacefaring race of giant, cyclopean furry snails. The Blin have fairly advanced technology and have subjugated at least one other race, the Baybay, to be therir slaves. The Blin pursue knowledge ruthlessly, up to and including dissecting new species alive to observe how musculature works.

Bogatast: 1. Space Seekers version of a riffle (more like a bazooka). 2. A measure of destructive capability: "able to destroy a city block".

Boga-blaster: a high powered Bogatast (or upgrade if you will.

Boams: a set weapons designed originaly for Space Seeker 2 they are apx the size of basketballs. You place your hand inside the back to gain access to the controls. such as rapid fire lasers or blasters. Miniture homming missials. Positrack for wall clibing or hanging on. Shields, and a nasty set of jet propelled boxing gloves

Brillitz: Insectic beings equipped with advanced technology, currently at war with the Tox. Also, a recent form of sustenance for the transformed Baduuku.

Bumper beams: A ship or suit modification making travel in Warp safe. Bumper beams are force projectors that deflect oncoming warp rocks before they can destroy the vehicle.

Crow: The Main Computer of the Delta Game (Fred).

Crystal: 1. Warp Crystal, what warp rocks are made of. 2. Form of currency in the Hardcore's Hold setting. 3. Crystalline stones mined from the sands of Fumut, imbued with energy and power from the sand. 4. A type of mental/spiritual power that fed from the power of the indiviudal and from the planet Fumut itself.

Delta Game: A metagame term for Crow's setting in which the Space Seekers encountered Orion, Pyson, and others.

Dimensions: There are countless different dimensions, each with different physical properties. Most are useless, but Space Seekers and others have managed to harness some dimensions for one of two purposes: energy, or speed. Dimensions can be harnessed to power virtually anything, though the process is fairly inefficient. Travel through different dimensions can shorten travel times between remote locations. There is a spectrum of "Speed dimensions", ranging upward from normal or n-space, all the way to Doot.

Dabsalon: One of the more dealy materials known, dabsalon is a gas which disintegrates all organic matter, converting it into more dabsalon. Most recently, Randy's Crew were involved in a fight with Seeker Units, two of which released dabsalon on the planet Macelli, which is now dead of all life.

Doot: Arguably the fastest speed there is. A Doot-equipped craft may travel anywhere in the universe in the time it takes to say "Doot".

Doot-doot: A meta-game euphemism for opening communications, in imitation of the "attention" beep of a communicator.

Dragonne: 1. A race of gigantic bipedal monsters, vaguely reptilian in appearance and possessed of a completely alien intelligence. Dragonne motives are unclear, but every encounter has resulted in their attempting to destroy, subjugate, or just plain eat every other race. The Dragonne have a complex symbol which may summon or manufacture other Dragonne. With their limitless ability to regenerate damage and their immense strength, Dragonne are a terror not to be taken lightly. 2. The Dragonne. The nominal leader of all the Dragonne, a solar-system sized (at least an AU in height) monster.

Dyna-Ball: a nearly-mythical sport that was played by Space Seeker trainees in Trangadst before it was destroyed.

Fred: Weapons officer of Randy's Crew aboard the crippled Tul Kern.

Fumut: A planet in the universe contained within Hardcore's hold, the starting setting for the Hardcore's Hold game. In Protectors Era, Fumut had somehow escaped Hardcore only to be destroyed by the Uurdta.

Good Symbol: An assortment of mostly parallel lines which, together, represent Good.

Guy at the Top of the Helmet: AI employed with a human simulation for a helmet translator device. Used in substandard Space Seeker helmets. Mysteriously, the Guy at the Top of the Helmet would often pantomime the translations, rather than speaking them.

Hardcore's Hold: 1. A metagame term for the Space Seekers setting contained entirely within the ship, Hardcore. 2. An interdimensional hold aboard Hardcore that held at least an entire galaxy, including Supik and Fumut.

Harmony: A member of a pacifistic race of giant solitary bipeds who devoted their long lives as caretakers of the universe, planting gardens and terraforming dead worlds throughout whichever galaxy they found themselves in. Harmony was the only one of his kind ever encountered. He was killed very shortly after going insane on or around Roid after first discovering the Tul Kern.

Harold: Communications officer of Randy's Crew aboard the crippled Tul Kern.

Insectic: Insect-like, in a particularly menacing or horrifying manner.

Interdimensional: refers to a magitechnology that allows compression of a large amount of space into a small volume. With interdimensionality, a bread-box sized container can hold a weapon, a spaceship, a planet, or even an entire universe, depending on the efficiency of the interdimensional container. Interdimensionality is linked to the Concordinant energy of each OmniSphere.

It's almost midnight: a metagame comment meant to get the players back to The Game. Originated during a gaming session when a player noticed that it was getting late and they weren't getting any gaming done.
