The Emergency Communication Network, popularly called the ECN, is a government-operated system of communication satellites and space stations in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Designed to facilitate stable…
Automated Hydrogen Fuel Harvesting Platforms
Automated hydrogen fuel harvesting platforms are space stations set in stable orbit around hydrogen-rich gas giants that harvest and process hydrogen into spacecraft fuel. While they are fully automated, they are not…
Hydrogen Fuel
Hydrogen fuel is a colorless, odorless fuel derived from hydrogen that is primarily used to power conventional spacecraft engines during non quantum flight. It is mostly collected by spacecraft during flight via a fuel…
Medical Emergency Locator (MEL)
A medical emergency locator (MEL) is a tracking device manufactured by CureLife that can be used to trace a person's location in the event of injury, illness, or other dire circumstances. It was included as a part of…
Janus
Janus was an artificial intelligence (AI) program designed to monitor and pilot the long-haul colony spacecraft Artemis, launched in SEY 2232. Prominent AI researcher Dr. Carol Zahir began work on the program that would…
Neonazacyclicdienorthoamphetamine (Neon)
Neonazacyclicdienorthoamphetamine, more commonly known as neon, is an empathogen–entactogen with slight hallucinogenic and stimulant properties. It was first developed to help treat symptoms related to complex…
Glow
Glow is a street drug derived from the empathogen–entactogen neonazacyclicdienorthoamphetamine, more commonly known as neon. Sold in the form of brightly-colored capsules, when it is taken orally it can leave a glowing…
Artificial Gravity
Artificial gravity refers to the use of technology to replicate the effects of a gravitational force. Common amongst spacefaring civilizations, it is vital aboard spacecraft and space stations to combat the muscle and…
Comm Relay Station
A comm relay is a type of prefabricated communications relay tower that collects data from a network of comm arrays positioned through an area of open space. Generally operated by communication companies such as the…
Thermal Shielding

WiDoW
WiDoW, also known as white diawirline or WDW, is a Class A narcotic that is known for its distinctive black color that can stain the veins and create web-like patterns in the skin of intensive users. When injected…
Energy Shield
An energy shield is a barrier that protects an area from energy attacks. Normally invisible to the naked eye, it is projected from a shield generator through a series of emitters that absorbs and dissipates incoming…
Environment Suits
Environment suits, also called exploration suits, are a type of body armor designed to withstand extreme environments, such as those with life-threatening heat and cold. Many are built with advanced sensors that…
Ice Mining
Ice mining is a process by which ice is collected from asteroids and other celestial bodies beyond a planetary system's frost line. Mined water ice is generally used to provide water to spacecraft or to locations that…
MicroProbe
The MicroProbe was a scanner and autonomous probe briefly sold on Ergo (Nemo III) in 2407. Advertised as the next generation in advanced resource detection technology, it saw high early sales after a report was shared…
