The Crimson Wolves are a pirate gang led by the disgraced Imperial nobleman Montez Lycanis (bastard, "pirate lord").

D

Destruction of the solar system

No one knows exactly what caused the disaster. But it is known for certain that an entire star system disappeared in a monstrous flash. The catastrophe happened in the midst of factional wars for the possession of quantum. 500 Earth years have passed since the destruction of the solar system.

E

Edison station

Located in the Lacaille system. A memorial service was held there for those who died during the battle with the Crimson Wolves. A memorial service was also held for those who died as a result of the operation to return the fusion reactor from the planet Morn.

Emmet

Empire, The

A faction called the Empire.

"Explorer" program

The Council decided to send an exploratory expedition to investigate the incident and identify the causes that caused it.

F

An Imperial favorite, was stabbed in the back by a poisoned dagger on his ship after leaving Ignis Station just after the 21st Conference. The suspect was Ana Plíšková, assistant counselor Huxley. House Lycanis demanded that the council hand over Anu for trial. The murder of Julius Lycanis has something to do with Montez Lycanis, as Montez's genetic information was found at the crime scene.

After the Battle of Kepler 7, Montez's body was taken by the Third Fleet to Empire's Inner Rim. According to Imperial sources, Montez is currently being held in a cell with his execution suspended indefinitely. The murder of Julius Lycanis has something to do with Montez, as his genetic information was found at the crime scene.

M

Mímir

Mímir. Mímir is the planet from which the signal came that disrupted the communication networks of the Federation planets connected to the Nexus. Rich in high-density quantum deposits. The planet's atmosphere appears to be phosphorous and very dense, according to the "14th Research Mission Report from Vargas, Out of Federation Space" silicate rain is falling on the planet. According to a report from the 23rd Universal Council Conference, Mímir has disappeared. More and more fires began to appear in the atmosphere of Mímir, breaking out of the cloud cover in the form of continuous threads that twisted around the planet and enveloped it in a thick, bright haze. As soon as the haze cleared, the planet disappeared. In its place hung a mass of swirling fractal glow, much smaller than Mímir. It seems that this glow bends the space around it.

Morn

Morne is an agricultural planet. The incident is widely known when a thermonuclear reactor built using military technology was illegally transported to the planet. The Mornians refused to return it to Tonocom Defense Corporation, the owner of the reactor. As a result, the reactor had to be returned by force, and both sides of the conflict suffered losses in manpower.

(Assumption. Information center of the Empire?) Or at least has information regarding the missing spices from Eden.

N

Nexus

Is an ancient artifact that existed long before the advent of mankind. It is the property of the Federation. Allows you to instantly transmit data to three sectors of space controlled by the Federation. (Apparently, quantum entanglement is used for communication.) Located at the central government station of the Federation

Nicolás Kestrel

However, as a result of a DNA examination of the murder weapon (a poisoned knife), her non-involvement in the crime was established, charges were dropped from her and she was released from custody at the Ignis station. She is expected to be reinstated as the Federation's contact for the Explorer program.

Q

Quantum

Is a substance capable of instantly changing its own molecular structure. It is a source of energy of incredible density. Its appearance marked the beginning of a new era of technology. Soon, factional wars began for the sake of possessing Quantum.

Qyllits

Are mammals that live in cave systems on the planet Mímir.
