PostHeaderIcon The Elder Spirits

Mysterious, long-lived entities whose exact nature is unknown (and possibly unknowable). The Elder Spirits were venerated in the Pyslistroph and before.

The physical appearance of an Elder Spirit is a subjective matter: usually, they appear to be the same race as the viewer. In many recorded instances, two or more viewers of different races have seen the same Elder Spirit appear as two or more races at the same time. Physical recordings of Elder Spirits generally retain this same property, otherwise they show only fuzzy, indistinct images.

PostHeaderIcon The Singing Stones

According to legend, the Singing Stones were delivered to the Daamin by the Elder Spirits in the time before the Pylistroph.

PostHeaderIcon Gathered Worlds

Generally, the worlds of the Galactic Core; specifically, nonhuman worlds under the tyranny of the Gergathan.

PostHeaderIcon Scattered Worlds

Generally, the worlds of the Galactic Halo; specifically, nonhuman worlds which value freedom and diversity and resist domination by the tyrannical society of the galactic Core (the "Gathered Worlds.")

 

PostHeaderIcon Tachyon Vesicles

Tachyon vesicles are naturally-occurring piezogravitational bubbles composed mostly of quintessent matter. They are usually found in interstellar space, in comets, and in the rings of gas giants. Physically, they resemble soap bubbles without the fragility. When stimulated by coherent radiation, tachyon vesicles produce four distinct effects: antigravity, ultrawave, tachyon conversion, and defense screens.

PostHeaderIcon 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.)
