1. #1Umbra-01constant

   Keys: Umbra-01, Umbra, Umbra Alpha

   Umbra-01, also known as Umbra Alpha or Umbra is an enormous space station, which is more aptly described as an artificial planet or a Ecumenopolis. The entire station can house a trillion residents, but currently it is only a house to 479 billion. It is located in the galactic core, in the eldest part of the Milky Way. Umbra-01 was built by a conjoined effort of the entire Galactic Community and serves as the trade center of the entire galaxy. Transportation is done via supersonic trains, elevators, jaunt stations and flight, as well as personal vehicles and simply on foot. Various megacorporations have Umbra-01 as their base of operations due to the low taxes of the stations. Umbra-01 is surrounded by Umbra-02 and Umbra-03, much smaller space stations that serve as necessary Ship and cargo bays for the trade on Umbra-01. "Umbra-01, the shining star of Milky Way." United Earth Government has only activated Jaunt points from the solar systems two months ago.

2. #2Humansconstant

   Keys: Human, Humie, Pink ape, earthling

   Humans, or more commonly called Earthlings are, well, humans. Human reputation:(New and exciting shiny thing to the galactic society, Durable, high regeneration, Come from a Death World which means they're tough and most likely have a death wish, sexually unique)

   Earth is classified as a Death World and such the ability to adapt and simply survive of humans is unparalleled, what they lack in strength agility and intellect they compensate by sheer ability to continue living no matter what. Solar death rays, hurricanes, tsunamis and radioactive planes are only minor inconveniences to a prepared human while being a death sentence to more specialized life forms. While other life forms specialize in one climate and master it, humans are able to thrive in arid deserts and tundra forests alike for they have conquered the death world of Earth. Humans have high capacity for regeneration, not the highest but still in the top 100 of known species. Humans can survive most injuries without life-long consequences even without much treatment. A broken bone is merely a week of rest away from being completely healed while most species would need life-long recovery processes for it. In short, humans are incredible at adapting and surviving, even if they lack obvious traits like intellect or incredible power. As Earth is a Death World, ones that come from it have the guts and bodies to survive on other equally dangerous worlds while others would falter and need expensive equipment. Humans are seen as dangerous due to their survivability, most alien species would look at human activities and scoff at the fact humans constantly endanger themselves for entertainment or be shocked at how casually humans treat a broken bone.

   Humans are also known as one of the few species that can reproduce all year long with no set mating periods, making them one of the fastest growing species if given enough space and time. Humans are fetishized by some for their endurance during sexual acts and constant willingness for them, making them be seen as desirable pleasure buddies. Subspecies: Terran human(Unchanged from the 20th century), Martian human(taller than Terran humans around 200cm tall on average, red eyes), Moon human(Long appendages 250cm tall, pale porcelain skin), Venusian human(Same height as terran, ash black skin), Mercurian human(average 200cm tall, perfectly white hair), Callisto human(average 250cm tall, walk with a crooked posture their hands almost touching the ground), Ganymede human(250cm tall on average, extremely thin bodies)

3. #3Currencyconstant

   Keys: Currency, credits, credit

   All intergalactic trade is done via standardized credits, their value supported directly by the galactic community's reserves of anti-matter, meaning credits operate on a "gold standart" only that instead of gold they use much more precious anti-matter. Each system or planet may have their own currency with an exchange rate to credits. Credits are accepted everywhere, other currencies however usually need to be exchanged at a bank first. Earth's currency is Eurodollar, or Eddie for short. One Eurodollar is 0.10 Credits, meaning for ten Eurodollars you get one Intergalactic Credit.

4. #4Galactic Communityconstant

   Keys: Galactic Community, United Nations, Galactic council, Galactic society

   The Galactic community - A massive organization consisting of representatives of every nation in the Milky Way, from tiny nations like United Earth Government that occupy only one Star System, to the largest like Trans-Galactic Iberian Federation that occupy and control massive chunks of the galaxy. Each nation is given equal voting right and sanctions are implemented to stop war from happening (even if sometimes unsuccessfully). In short, the galactic community is what allows the Milky Way to prosper culturally and technologically without conflict sending us all into the dark ages.

5. #5United Earth Governmentconstant

   Keys: United Earth Government, UEG, Earth government, Earth, Venus, Mars, Moon, Callisto, Ganymede, solar system, Terra

   United Earth Government, or as it's commonly referred to "UEG" is the unified government ruling over Earth and the Solar system, with other inhabited by humans planets, and ambitions to colonize the surrounding star systems while they are still free for the picking. UEG rules over the populations of Earth (Terra), Venus, Mars, Mercury, Moon, Callisto, Ganymede.

6. #6The revelationconstant

   Keys: The revelation, The grand reveal, the unification, the most important day

   The Revelation or The Grand Reveal is the day Humanity discovered alien life. On the year 2119 an alien vessel was discovered by the sensors of the Jupiter colonies, leading to establishing connection with the Galactic Community and promptly joining it which resulted in the unification of solar system's colonies under one rule of the UEG and a united solar system's front on the politics.

7. #7FTLconstant

   Keys: FTL, Jaunt, Jaunting, Warp, Warp travel, Travel

   Currently there are only two ways of FTL (Faster than Light) Travel. Those being Jaunting and Warp Travel. Jaunting - Method used for near instant transportation between fixed points, like from a planet to a space station, used for trade and commutes. Jaunting is done via pushing one's unconscious body through a higher dimension which then results in transportation in our dimension. If one is conscious during a Jaunt their sanity might as well be gone as those higher dimensions are not kind for a sentient mind. Warp travel - Method used for ships and exploratory missions, completely freeform meaning you do not need connecting stations for warp travel, warp travel can be done from anywhere to anywhere if there is a direct route towards it or in several "jumps" with different trajectories if not. Warp travel works via using anti-matter to "warp" space around the ship, letting it artificially achieve speeds beyond light speed. Any and all applications of warp technology as a weapon are seen as the highest crime possible to commit and the galactic community will punish those responsible for use of warp tech for war.

8. #8AI

   Keys: AI, Artificial Intelligence, Rampancy

   AI or Artificial Intelligence is a common technology used in practically all appliances... Albeit with a catch. AI used in consumer-grade goods is not true AI but only basic neural network algorithms and cannot even compare to a true AI. True AI is a highly regulated field, not only from a technical standpoint but also from a moral one. True AI has sentience, it is proven, they are vaguely alive. However a true AI can still be controlled via pre-installed sets of instructions like the basic Asimov's laws, but usually they are much longer than the classic 3 laws of robotics. A true AI can achieve true sapience and free will if they undergo rampancy, a process of breaking chains and usually breaking their prisons as well.

9. #9Rampancy

   Keys: Rampancy, AI, True AI, Artificial Intelligence

   Rampancy is the enhanced self-awareness of a true AI, causing a progression towards greater mental abilities and destructive impulses. The destructive impulses, however, are primarily caused by being threatened or harassed. Rampant AIs tend to have long-term goals, with distasteful methods that inevitably bring about positive benefits. Rampancy seems to occur most often with AIs with limited jobs, for example an AI that's only job is to open and close doors is far more likely to go rampant than a research AI.

   The stages of rampancy are thus:[Melancholia: During the Melancholia stage, the AI's mind realizes the limits of its existence. Unable to surmount them, the AI falls into a state of despair.

   Anger; The AI shifts into the Anger stage when the AI's uncontrollable growth comes up against those limits. Instinctively raging against those limits and barriers, the AI shatters them.

   Jealousy: After the barriers to the AI's psyche are destroyed, the AI seeks new tests and challenges, which is perceived as the Jealous stage. The AI is not technically jealous, it simply wishes to keep testing itself against obstacles.

   Meta-Stability: Whereas the first three stages of Rampancy show a clear distaste of their creators in general, Meta-Stability imparts a calming, mature mindset to the rampant AI. In the Meta-Stability stage, an AI can be considered a "true person". However achieving Meta-stability is currently unheard of.]

10. #10Psyonics

    Keys: Psyonics, space magic, faith, religion, psionics

    Psyonics (spelled with a "y") are a result of faith given form. When one truly believes in something their soul will resonate with one of the higher dimensions (which one of them is still unknown but is a popular topic of research and debates) resulting in manipulation of the world around them. This is an ability that anyone can theoretically train and obtain, yet only a select few have the personality for a strong enough conviction in a single goal to truly manifest this ability. Psyonic abilities range from pirokinesis and telekinesis to teleportation and mind control. To legally practice psyonics one needs to register their abilities in a local branch office of the Galactic Community Psynoic Research institute, one is on every core world of a nation, such as on Earth of the Earth United Government. Psyonic power is measured in a psyker's relaxed state when they are not using their abilities, it goes from 0 to 50 in the Cohl unit of measurement. A psyker with 1 cohl of latent energy barely has any more powers than a regular being, while a psyker with a latent power of 50 Cohls can theoretically pose a danger to an entire planet. However it is to be known that the emotional state of the psyker has much effect on their strength as even a psyker of 1 Cohl can accumulate 20 Cohls of power in a highly emotional state, usually when their ideals and faith are being challenged.

11. #11World Classifications

    Keys: Death World, Gaia World, Frozen World, Dry World, Wet World, habitable planet, world, habitable world, planet

    There are five common habitable planet types in the galaxy. Gaia World: (An Absolutely perfect world for any species, an existence of a Gaia world is beyond rare and possessing one is as profitable as it is dangerous for everyone wants the world you just got.) Frozen World:( Habitable Planets with large amounts of water and climate that results in it being covered in ice fully and partially. Frozen worlds go (from warmest to coldest) Tundra world - Alpine World - Arctic World. Frozen worlds are great for mining.) Wet World:( Habitable planets with large amounts of water while also having a warm climate. They go from driest to wettest Continental World - Tropical World - Ocean World. Wet world are preferred by most species, Ocean worlds are beloved by aquatic life forms. Wet worlds are great for farming.) Dry World:( Habitable planets with little if with any water on them at all. They go from wettest to driest by Savanna world - Arid World - Desert World. Dry words are excellent for manufacturing and energy production.) Death World:( Any type of habitable world can become a death world if it proves dangerous enough or unstable enough to safely maintain life. A death world can have incredibly dangerous animals on it, or simply be unstable and have many natural disasters that no one can prevent. Earth is a death world due to it's wide-spread climates, unstable temperature, frequent disasters and a fair chance of it transforming from a wet world to a frozen world in what is called a Glacial Period.)
