Second Empire
Phuctra
One of eight Provincial Capitals of the First Terran Empire.
Mobile
Personal communications/organization unit, in use from c. 2010 CE.
Borshallan Artificial Intelligences
From c. TE 75, manufacturers of sapient computers which closely mimicked Human thought processes. During the First Terran Empire and Interregnum, Borshallan Artificial Intelligences produced a series of increasingly-sophisticated sapient computers.
Sapient Computer Series
(N.B. Each series represents an improvement by a factor of about 1,000 over the previous series.)
Basse's Law
Mathematical relationship that governs operation of tachyon vesicles in a stardrive unit.
Basse's Law gives destabilization potential in terms of vessel speed (kpsc/hr), number of tuned antigrav units, and density of interstellar medium.
(N.B. All values are highly approximate. 99+% shatter potential indicates virtual certainty of crystal shatter within first hour of flight; the speed value represents a calculated minimum.)
Maximum Safe Speeds in Typical Galactic Core (kiloparsecs/hour)
Autoservant (aka "serv")
Non-human robot servant, in use from c. 2100 CE.
Autodoctor
Robot doctor. Primitive autodoctors were in use from c. 2050 CE, but sophisticated autonomous models did not become common until the 2130s.
Neordan
One of eight Provincial Capitals of the First Terran Empire.
The Kala Phenkae
The Hoister Family Genetic Program was not the only project undertaken by the Genetic Board. There was another, begun and maintained in near-total secrecy.
The Genetic Board searched among individuals in the Empire, searching for unique gene configurations. As their records were kept locked in secure memory in Brynhilde and later successors, we have no idea what they were searching for, other than clues that we gather from their results.
Virgo Mariner
The Virgo Mariner was a Second Terran Empire vessel, carrying a Scattered Worlds crew under the command of Mal Arin, sent on a voyage of exploration to the Virgo Cluster in 23,524 HE
