(C001) ================================================================== Part I . Database Side Quest (A001) ================================================================== This walkthrough is as spoiler free as possible, especially since this game contains some powerful scenes, and we'd really hate to spoil it for anyone. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.0 Overview (A010) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The database side quest starts with your first scene and cumulates towards the end of the game with a prize. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.1 Quest Rewards (A011) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The database side quest takes you the entire game to complete. The prize for completing the database is the Kibisis which gives the wearer 3 boost, 1500 HP and 300 EP. It's a nice item, well worth the work it will take to get it. Unfortunately, it is not available until almost the end of the game, so whether you go for it then, or during game cleared, is up to you. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.2 Database Updates, when and were. (A012) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The database is updated continuously during the game and occurs either automatically at mandatory points of the story, or by accessing certain items and chests. - The automatic updates cannot be skipped. We've included in each section of the walkthrough on what information is added up to at that point. - The other updates occur when you find certain easily missed items and files. Fortunately, unlike a number of side quests in this game, this is another case where the Encephalon, and U.M.N. is your friend an you can always go back to get these easily missed chests and items. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.3 Deducing what you missing (A013) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To get 100% completion before the end of the game, you need to fight both at least one of the optional Bosses, find Suou's Uzuki's PDA, and acquire all the Database Update Files, which includes retrieving all the Federation Reports on Miltia. If you do not have 100% Database completion after fighting your next to the last battle, check on the following categories see what you have missed. You can also check the Special items list by pressing the square button while in the items inventory list. You should only have one set of ??? at this time, and this should be true as of shortly after your last mandatory E.S. Battle. The following table shows what categories are updated through each Update file, PDA and Omega. You may use it to find the missing data. Table 1. Finding the missing Database Updates (TAB1) Category Update file | PDA|Omega| | 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9|10|11|12|13|14| P| O| --------------------------------------------------------------- Characters | | | | X| X| X| X| | | | | X| | | | | Cultural | X| | | X| | | | | X| | | | | | | | Events | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Locations | | | | X| | | | | | | | | | X| | | Weapons | | | | | | | X| | | X| | | | | | | Organizations | | | | X| | | | | | | | | | | | | Unknown | | | | | | | | | | | | | X| | | X| Town Report | | X| | | | X| | X| | | | | | | | | Story | | | X| | X| | | | | | X| | | | X| | Tutorial | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- Here is where you can find those missing update files and what is updated.

Walkthrough (A020) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.1 Prologue: S-Line Division (A021) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The automatic database updates come rapidly in this chapter. They are mostly dealing with the tutorial part of the game. 2.1.1 Update File 01 (UF01) Update file 01 is located in S-Line Division Sector 3. As you come off of the elevator to this section, take the blocks down to the first data tower. To your right of your screen is a console. Access the panel. A block of green stones will appear. The Update File is in the chest on the platform at the end of the path of green stones.

You do get an automatic database update though. Wander around the island and take in the sights. Your database percentages at the end of this section should be: Database: 33% Characters 39% Cultural 25% Events 40% Locations 26% Weapons 31% Organizations 32% Unknown 32% Town Report 13% Story 41% Tutorial 60% >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.3 Chapter 2: Fifth Jerusalem (A023) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There are no Update Files on Fifth Jerusalem, although Miyuke is continuously sending automatic ones, as she promised in the Prologue. There are a number of side quests that cannot be reexamined after you leave, so take your time here to take in the sights before the end of the chapter. Your statistics before the end of this chapter should be: Database: 71% Characters 70% Cultural 84% Events 80% Locations 70% Weapons 85% Organizations 76% Unknown 61% Town Report 18% Story 41% Tutorial 92% >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.4 Chapter 3: Floating Landmass (A024) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This chapter takes place on the Floating Landmass. You acquire the last of your tutorial points here. Finally, a category is at 100%. You can go get Shion's swimsuit from Pedea Island. But before you do that, go around and talk to everyone on board the Elsa. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.4.1 Pedea Island (Encephalon Dive) (UF02) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you decide to go back for Shion's Swimsuit, and have spoken to the professor, and he's received a postcard, you get access to one of the optional bosses. Search the Dark Professor's lab, and pay attention to the chair in the corner. Take the elevator that appears down to the Dark Professor's Basement. You will find a segment door, a chest and a grave. You will not be able to enter the segment door, or read the gravestone until after you have beaten Erde Kaiser Sigma, but you can open the chest to get Update File 02. Update File 02, provides 7 items to the Town Report section: Database 73% Town Report 50% (DB382) Erde Kaiser (DB383) Erde Kaiser Sigma (DB384) Erde Kaiser Fury (DB387) Coconut Monkey (DB397) Dark Erde Kaiser (DB398) Dark Professor (DB399) Dark Professor's Secret Laboratory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.4.2 Update File 14 (UF14) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is one of the commonly missed Update Files. It is located on the Floating Landmass in the Ancient Temple. Search the third floor. It is the second floor with the movable bridges. When you come off the elevator, you will see four crystals floating to above the area to the left of your screen. You need to move the first bridge up to that platform. Examine the first console you see. This console is located on the same platform as the elevator to this floor. This should move the bridge up to the area with the four crystals. Fight the Gnosis that appear, and grab the update file. This file updates the Locations category. Database 73% Locations 70% (DB228) Planet Atalya (DB232) Planet Keltia (DB234) Planet Senir (DB235) Planet Tessedora >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.4.3 End of Chapter Database Stats (A0243) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you picked up both Update Files, your percentages should be around here.

It is located in chest located right on the path immediately after you rescue a Federation Soldier. This Update File includes items in the Characters and Town Reports categories. If you've been following this walkthrough, you should have the following percentages: Database 75% Characters 71% (DB095) Luty Town Report 68% (DB386) Other Professor (DB388) Sequencer (DB395) Forbidden Device (DB400) Hosino >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.5.2 Update File 7 (UF07) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is another easy to find Update File.

It's currently under Martial Law. You can find Update Files 8 and 9 here as well as Federal Reports 1, 2 and 6. 2.6.1 Update File 8 (UF08) This update file is fairly easy to find. It is located in the East Sector of Miltia City. This is the sector you enter first. NOTE: There are a number of side quests here so take time to explore, look through the binoculars and recognize various sites from Episode I, talk to people, play with items, etc. Some of these quests cannot be accessed after the middle of Chapter 7, so you might want to do them now. As soon as the street makes a sharp Left, enter the building on your right. You will need to go up 2 flights of stairs to get to the chest. There is another side quest on the roof involving a balloon. And yes, you should now have another Database Category at 100%. Database 79% Town Report 100% (DB380) ECCM (DB381) Life-Sized Bunnie Plushy (DB385) Mobile Fortress Elsa Project (DB389) Schrodinger (DB390) Assistant Number 2 (DB391) Assistant Number 3 (DB396) Frying Pan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.6.2 Retrieving Federal Reports 1, 2, and 6. (FedRep1) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you just retrieve them as you find them, you will retrieve the Federal reports in this order. Federal Report 06. Find Federal Report 06, first. It's on an observation deck in a trash can in the West area of Miltia City. NOTE: Looking through the binoculars on the deck, you will see the park featured in KOS-MOS's Subconscious Domain from Episode 1. You can also start the Seven Moons side quest here by talking to the young man, Andy, sitting on a park bench in the area below and to the right of the observation deck. Federal Report 01. Find Federal Report 01 in a console located on a side area in the Western block of the city where you talk to Erin and Julia. You need to talk to them to do the Seven Moons sidequest. Enter the door behind them, and talk to the maintenance worker, Lancaster in the side yard near the stairs. Destroy the console for him. Federal Report 02. Find this Federal Report 02 in the Northern Block. This time it is behind Bailey. Destroy both consoles. One of them hides a chest with a really nice E.S. item. NOTE: You can also talk to Lodge here. Once you do you can go back and talk to the Andy again. You will probably need to run back and forth a few times between them and Erin and Julia before the seven moons side quest is almost complete. It nets you some nice items in Chapter 9, so you might consider doing this one. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.6.3 Update File 9 (UF09) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Update File 9 is located in the second room on the fifth floor of the Neurosis Treatment Facility. It adds seven items the Cultural category of the database.

When KOS-MOS is back in your party, upgrade your equipment, save and head out into Miltia City. You will find Update File 10. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.7.1. Update File 10 (UF10) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Update File 10 is located in Labyrinthos in Margulis's room. Margulis's room is located on the First Floor, just past the doors in the central hall area with the Yellow Save and Blue Shop Plates. A chest with Jin's Swimsuit is in the lower left corner of the room, and the chest with the Update File is in the Lower right corner. This Update File adds five items to the weapons category.

Update File 03 requires the input of all 8 Federation Reports into the computer in the Elsa's Lab, so it is possible you will not be able to complete it until Chapter 8. NOTE: This is your last chance to complete any of the various side quests. Complete them before you enter Labrynthos, as you will not have another chance. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.8.1 Suou Uzuki's PDA (SUPDA) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is another of the easily missed database update items. You look for this one once you are going back into Labyrinthos to rescue Shion. Retrieve Suou Uzuki's PDA from the staff room after you acquire the Staff room key. The Staff Room. The staff room is located near to the Save Plate in Area 13. To get to this Save Plate, enter Area 13, move right across the screen and down another corridor to the characters right. You will enter a hall containing Segment Address 5 (behind some cabinets), stairs down, and doors to the extreme left of the screen. Enter the doors. This corridor contains a Save Plate, and the locked Staff Room. At the end of the corridor is a locked gate. This gate can only be opened from the other side. NOTE: If you are entering this area using the encephalon, there will not be a save plate here. Check the door though, as you might have gotten the key earlier. The Staff Room Key. The Staff Room key is located down the corridor on the other side of the locked gate. To get to the Staff Room Key, go back out to the hall with Segment Address 5. Take the stairs down to the next floor. Follow the corridor around and through a storage area. Run up a flight of stairs, and pass by a windowed interrogation room. Follow the corridor around until you see the Save Plate on the far end of the corridor behind a barred gate. Take the first hall on your right. Go around the corner and destroy the boxes. The Staff Room Key is in a chest in one of the first boxes you open. Go back out to the main corridor, and walk towards the Save Plate. Access the console next to the barred Gate. Save. Unlock and enter the Staff Room. Go to the desk and check out the shining object. Take the PDA. Database 84% Story 45% (DB416) Suou Uzuki's PDA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.8.2 Finding Federal Reports 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 (FedRep2) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You need to find all the Federal Reports for 2 quests. One is to acquire Update File 03, the other is showing the reports to Loria who is now on the second floor of the Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility. You cannot find a majority of the Federal Reports until after the Third Decent Operation has begun. If you have been following this walk through, you have already found Federal Reports 1, 2, and 6. If not, see section 2.6.3 (FedRep1) for details. Again, we will be covering these in order of discovery. You can start gathering the rest of these reports as you leave Labrynthos for the Old Church. Federal Report 04. This report is located under some debris in the West area near the door to the building where you destroyed a console to get Federal Report 1. It is on the left side of the building. Federal Report 03. Find Federal Report 03 after destroying the U-TIC transport in West Miltia, near where you found Federal Report 6 in a trashcan. Federal Report 05. Receive Federal Report 05 from McDowell as he lies dying under his favorite pillar. Federal Report 07. This report is located in the burning area outside the transport gate. This one is located under burning rubble in the upper left corner of the section. To get there, exit the transport gate and run right to the ramp. At the top of the ramp, move towards the back, under the Marque. Take the Ramp down to the left as far as you can go. You will see something shining on the ground. Take it. Federal Report 08. This report is also located in the area outside the transport gate. Go back up to the Marque area, and take the sidewalk to the right down to the street level. As you enter the street, turn left. Wind around the rubble to the Lower right hand side of the screen. You will see something shining on the ground. Take it. You get Update File 03 by finding all the Federal Reports and entering them on the console in the Robotics Lab on the Elsa. The story does not allow you to do it much before Chapter 8 though. You can take all 8 files to Loria on level 2 of the Acute Treatment Facility for the Decoder. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.8.3 End of Chapter 7 Database Stats (A0283) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Here's a checkpoint for the end of Chapter 7.

You can get Update File 03 right away as soon as you gain access to your characters. You find Update File 11 on the Merkabah, but you have to go back to get it at a later date. You find Update File 12 on board Durandal either during or after the battle, and Update File 13 is in Abel's ark, easily accessible. Because of this, only end of chapter statistics are going to be applied for these three updates. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.8.1 Update File 03 (UF03) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now that you have all the Federal Reports, you can finally access the console in the Laboratory on the Elsa.

Return to the Merkabah to the on-foot area of the Core. Go to the back of the room to access the panel there. Go back out to your E.S., and go to the Second Floor to access the core area where the gate once stood. Take your E.S.'s inside to find two chests. One holds Update File 11. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.9.3 Update File 12 (UF12) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You will find Update File 12 outside the door to the Bridge in the Durandal.

And, it is approximate, because you can try beating the optional Boss Omega ID any time after you get through with the last fight on the Durandal. If you manage to beat it before the end of this chapter, you will perhaps have an extra percentage point in the Unknowns category.

If you have not, you do have the option at that time of going back to the Elsa and finding what you have missed. If you've gotten impatient, you can also wait to Game Cleared to go back and complete everything. Use the table back up in the Overview section of this guide to find out what you have missed, although if you are following this walkthrough, you are probably going to be okay. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.10.1 Update File 4 (UF04) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Update File 04 is located under a statue in front of entrance to the Archon Cathedral on Michtam.

Although there are plenty of stragegy suggestions out there by now, we've included a few to help out. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3.1 Omega id (OMID) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beating Omega id adds one item to the Unknowns in your database. You can start trying to beat Omega ID any time after you get the Weapons Development Area key in Chapter 8. It helps to beat Omega ID before you try to beat EKS, as you gain access to the Dark EK ether. The Brady Games Official Strategy Guide has some good clues on how to do this, although even with their excellent strategies, I wasn't able to beat it until Game Cleared during my first pass through the game. I beat it early in Chapter 9 during my second pass. You probably won't be able to beat him until you get the best possible equipment near the end of the game, as this fight is tough. Make sure you have D-Kill R and D-Kill C installed on any close range attack craft. The E.S. Reuben comes to mind. Also, make sure you have at least one Craft with D-Sensor, and consider or adding D-Revenge, D-Counter and D-Charge accessories as well. Any of the D-Frame or D-Half disks are other good accessories to consider. Guard often and frequently. Omega I kept trying to beat Omega ID almost as soon as I got the Key to his area. One time I almost beat Omega ID with only the E.S. Zebulin left, and all she did was Charge every round and Revenge and Counter when attacked. I kept forgetting to do that with a full quota of E.S's, so I may have beaten Omega sooner. The key to this fight is to watch Omega's wandering immunities, and then charge, attack or use recovery items appropriately. You can set your line up formation so that your toughest hitter is on top to take advantage of Combo's, although this tactic isn't always useful due to the wandering immunity problem. You don't get game over for losing, so keep trying various combinations of accessories until you get one that works. Winning fight on Omega ID, gives you: Database Unknown (DB339) Omega ID >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3.2 Some thoughts on beating Erde Kaiser Sigma (A032) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This fight is just fun. You can fight him as early as Chapter 3, but it will be late in the game before you can beat him. Too bad his Ether Attack doesn't have any smart remarks attached. He doesn't net any database points, so if you are having problem beating him, wait until really late in the Game or Game Cleared to try. You might not be able to beat him until after Game Cleared, but keep trying. The winning strategy varies on how you have been developing your characters skill lines, as well as what accessories are available to your lead characters, and who you enjoy putting on the front line. Again, this is a case where the Brady Games Official Strategy Guide is good, but there are a number of different strategies to beat him. He gets easier to beat if at least one character has either Best Ally or Safety, and someone has a sensor to see where his weakest points are. You could also use chaos's final special "Beloved Gospel" if he has acquired it. If you have All 3 EK ethers, just hit Sigma at his weakest point with the appropriate Ether attack. If you don't, you can get through his initial shields if your characters have high enough Ether attacks of the appropriate ethers to get through his weak points. However, if you decide to do it that way, you miss the fun comments that come with the various EK attack ethers though. You can also have your characters load on the appropriate accessories such as Heaven's Door, and Nine Stones, if you have them, and use their Final Ethers if you have them. He's vulnerable to Ether attacks after he puts up his first set of shields, so you might want to start out with your heavy hitters and then bring in the Heavy Ether attack folks once he puts up his shields. You can also start with your folks with the strong Ether attacks. ============================================================================== PART II: DATABASE ENTRIES (B001) ============================================================================== ============================================================== (B00X) Introduction & Explanation ============================================================== The Database Entries chapter includes an alphabetical and a "by number/ category" list of all entries, followed by all the Xenosaga Episode III - Also Sprach Zarathustra Database contents from a 100% complete clear game Database. Most of the time, Database Updates just add additional text to existing entries or create new entries. However, there are some occasions where text passages are changed completely. I will add those replaced parts in an additional section at a later time. You will notice that the entries of the tutorial section are only represented by their titles. I decided to do this as they don't hold any actual story content. I made some corrections to a few entries, all of which I'll list in a subsection at the end of the Database entries section. Each entry comes with a unique number shown as "(DBXXX)," this code can be used for searching and cross-referencing inside this document. Of course, all actual entry contents taken from the game are copyright Namco Bandai or MonilithSoft, so reproducing any of the text for non-private use is a violation of copyright law.

He follows rules strictly and is absolute in his obedience to a superior's orders. Upon McCallum's capture, he was given the order to arrest the Abraxas Detachment. --Link: Sean McCallum, 1875th Special Ops Command, Dmitri Yuriev >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB002)-Aizen Magus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An elderly resident of the Dabrye Mine on Miltia. Originally a labor immigrant from another star system after Miltia became a republic, he worked as a mine laborer along with his son, Tethlla. However, the degradation of working conditions that resulted from the transfer of mining rights from the Miltian government to the U-TIC Organization led to a increase in anti-U-TIC Organization sentiment. As a result, he became a central figure to the quasi-resistance organization against the U-TIC Organization. Though that resistance was later defeated by the U-TIC Organization, Aizen, in his love for the mine, remains there today with his granddaughter, Mai, hoing for the mine's revival. People like Aizen, as immigrant workers not aware of Miltia's transformation from theocracy to republic, busied themselves with complaints about their own circumstances, viewing the world with a somewhat narrow-minded perspective. --Link: Dabrye Mine, Tethlla Magus, Mai Magus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB003)-Aoi Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shion's mother. Originally from the Basilis system, which, despite its proximity to the Federation capital, is largely populated by people from the Immigrant Fleet. Aoi is thought to possess a trait common amongst the People of Zohar of Abraxas--a compatibility with U-DO--latently within her. As a result of this latent characteristic, Aoi became the subject of U-DO observation and ultimately slipped into a coma due to the resulting stress. --Link: Immigrant Fleet, U-DO, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB004)-Alby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The miniature albino dog that Jr. began to keep on the bridge of the Durandal after the death of Albedo. "He's an albino, so he's Alby," is the reason Jr. gave for the name, though it also suggests lingering thoughts of Albedo. The dog is very friendly towards Jr. and Shion, but stubbornly continues to dislike Gaignun. --Link: Jr., Albedo Piazzolla, Gaignun Kukai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB005)-Abel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The boy confined within the Consolidated Advanced Technology Testing Ground where the Zohar Project is being conducted. He is the exclusive pilot of Omega. Abel is the material (real) form of the higher-dimensional existence U-DO (which exists without the concept of an individual, and is defined exclusively in the subjective terms by the observer), whose discarnate (imaginary) form is the Ark. He acts in the capacity of the control device for Omega, which uses the Zohar as its principal energy source. Yuriev used Abel, to wield the power of Omega to use as a weapon against God. U-DO first assumed Abel's form during the time of Lost Jerusalem, at the same time as Nephilim appeared, suggesting some link between the two. --Link: Nephilim, C.A.T. Testing Ground, Lost Jerusalem, Zohar Project, U-DO, Dmitri Yuriev, Omega Metempsychosis, Omega Res Novae, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB006)-Albedo Piazzolla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Named after the alchemical process of whitening as put forth in C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy." URTV unit number 667, is a variant with milky white hair. A being with recuperative abilities that surpass even nanomachines in rebuilding speed, he is practically immortal. Like Jr., he is a survivor of the URTV (U-DO Retro Virus) force that was artificially created to oppose U-DO. He developed a mental instability as a result of U-DO waveform contamination during the Miltian Conflict and destroyed the URTV force to which he belonged. Born as conjoined twins with Jr., the two strongly felt like they were a part of each other's body even after they were separated. His U-DO contamination was the result of the collapse of that psychic bond, caused when Jr. (Rubedo) shut his mind out in fear of U-DO going out of control. Albedo consequently felt that he had been betrayed and abandoned by his other half--his own brother. His obsessive manner when dealing with Jr. was a result of the psychological shock he had received at that time. His half-mad personality was the result of U-DO contamination, but even before that incident he was unable to understand the fear of injury or death experienced by others due to his immortal condition. Perhaps as a reaction to this, he developed an acute fear of rejection and solitude, and was pathologically with forming relationships with others. After the Miltian Conflict, he was found lying unconscious under the central shaft of the Song of Nephilim by Sellers, who had attempted to escape from Miltia by forcing the Song to surface. At this time, Albedo was half-dead, presumably as a result of being hit by waveforms which had been released by Nigredo, the URTVs' failsafe and acting executioner. Once he finally recovered from the attack of his would-be executioner, Albedo turned to the U-TIC Organization and Ormus. He joined forces with Margulis and Sellers to obtain the Y-Data which Joachim Mizrahi had left, although Albedo's true objective was a complete link with U-DO (which is the only possible way of granting his desire for oblivion). Together with Margulis, he doggedly pursued MOMO, Mizrahi's final creation, in order to revive the Zohar that slept on Miltia. His unnatural fixation on MOMO was the result not only of his desire to seize the Y-Data, but also of the relationship shared between Jr. and the girl on whom MOMO had been modeled, Sakura Mizrahi. Sakura and Jr.'s friendly behavior caused Albedo to feel lonely and excluded, eventually leading him to enviously wonder how he might interact with others in the same fashion. However, being unable to understand others' pain, and consequently unable to touch their hearts, he could only express his emotions in a twisted manner. His seemingly cruel behavior towards not only MOMO, but the Kirschwassers as well, was another warped reflection of his envious feelings towards such unity and emotional communion. Having obtained the Y-Data, revived Miltia, and finally linked again with U-DO, Albedo was assimilated into U-DO, becoming one with its waveforms and awaited oblivion at the hands of Jr.'s anti-waveforms. While Albedo's true desire was unity with Jr., his choice of death was the only means of escaping from the impossibility of that reality--motivated by the thought that, if unity is impossible, oblivion is the next best thing. He achieved oblivion at Jr.'s hands by accepting U-DO's characteristics into a part of himself--in his mind, this must have been the best was to get close to Jr.. His choice to rely on Jr., even though he could have used his URTV ability to cause a mutual annihilation effect with U-DO on his own, is further proof of this notion. While oblivion did grant a portion of his wish, it was also undeniably an effort to escape the reality he faced. Wilhelm negotiated with Albedo, proposing to unify him with Jr. Albedo recognized his true desire and was reborn as a Testament. Albedo initially attempted to fill his role as a Testament, but instead chose to perish with Dmitri, who had merged with U-DO through Omega. He attempted to use the power of the Testament to perish with Dmitri, in order to protect Jr.; however, Gaignun took his place at the last minute, effectively fulfilling Albedo's true desire--achieving a true psychic union with Jr.. --Link: Kirschwasser, Sakura Mizrahi, Jr., URTV Unit Number 667 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB007)-Alexei Tsiolkovskyi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Leader of the anti-U.M.N. organization V.L.V. and an archetypical hot-blooded male, easily moved by emotion.

Joined Vector'S First R&D Division in T.C. 4764 after graduating from the University of Bormeo. While two years older than former Chief Shion Uzuki, he is one year her junior at Vector. Acting as Vice-Chief for the duration of Shion's time at Vector, he continually supported Shion and garnered her trust and that of his subordinates with his diligent work ethic. The term "simple" and "honest" describe this affable young man perfectly. He was appointed R&D Chief after Shion's departure from Vector and was sent to the Galaxy Federation Consolidated Advanced Technology Testing Ground on Fifth Jerusalem. He cares for Shion, but due to past events concerning Shion and her former love Kevin Winnicot and his own personal insecurities regarding Kevin, he does not often express his thoughts and emotions. His family appears to be quite wealthy, but he prefers to avoid relying on them. His hobby is fishing. He matures, albeit gradually, through the time he spends with Shion and the others, ultimately showing his manhood by excoriating Kevin for using Shion and KOS-MOS, and brushing away the last doubts in Shion's heart. Although the distance between his and Shion's hearts has drawn noticeably closer since the incident on Michtam, his true worth as a man will be measured from hereon, in how he grows closer still. --Link: Kevin Winnicot, KOS-MOS, Shion Uzuki, Vector Industries, Vector First R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB009)-Andrew Cherenkov >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> His official rank is Galaxy Federation Naval Commander. He was positioned aboard the cruiser Woglinde as vice-captain in order to investigate the disappearance of planet Ariadne. His true identity, however, is as a worker for the U-TIC Organization--Ormus. Created as a tool of war by the Life Recycling Law a year after the outbreak of the Zoar Incident, he was unable to find meaning in his life even on the battlefield. Unable to reintegrate into society after the war's end, he became isolated and eventually began committing heinous crimes. After rejecting his third personality reconditioning treatment, his feelings of betrayal drove him to murder his wife, daughter, and countless others, and he was always haunted by specters of the dead. However, upon joining the U-TIC Organization after being scouted by Margulis, he managed a startling transformation. He successfully completed any mission given to him by Margulis, be it attacking Vector's research facility on planet Carioca in order to steal KOS-MOS, or directing the string of experiments which caused the disappearance of planet Ariadne. Following the Gnosis attack upon the cruiser Woglinde, he joined Shion and the others as a spy for the U-TIC Organization, until the point when he mutated into a giant Gnosis within the Cathedral Ship and attacked Shion. In his final moments, he was ultimately able to reflect upon himself and the world that had rejected him as his life drew to an end. --Link: Margulis, Life Recycling Law, Disappearance of Planet Ariadne, Woglinde, U-TIC Organization, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB010)-Wilhelm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Founder and CEO of interplanetary conglomerate Vector Industries. Having created the U.M.N., a giant network unifying all of space, and built facilities for hyperspace navigation, the company has become the de facto nucleus of all civilization, with a firm grasp of all the latest technology. Once the Galaxy Federation Executive Committee Director, his origins and personal history are shrouded in mystery. Furthermore, in addition to his official role, he command the secret order of cloaked figures known as Testaments, attempting to meddle with the destinies of Shion, KOS-MOS, and the others. The only ones to understand Wilhelm's fixation with Shion and KOS-MOS--his purpose and motivation--are the Testaments, and even they may not truly understand his plans. Supposedly, his office is constantly filled with the music of Wagner. Calling chaos Yeshua an reading the movements of the Compass of Order and Chaos, he plots to change the very shape of the world. In trying to bend the movement of the God-ordained compass towards his own desired conclusion, he makes himself a traitor unto God. What he is attempting to accomplish can be inferred from the words he once spoke to Kevin as a boy: eternal recurrence. Millennia ago, when the will of humanity resonated with chaos' power of Anima-- the failsafe of the universe--the universe's destruction was ordained. Wilhelm chose eternal recurrence through Zarathustra as a means of averting that destruction--rewinding time to the past and living an eternal cycle. Vector, Ormus, the Testaments, and finally KOS-MOS and Shion--he waited until the moment that all the necessary factors were lined up. It is unsure whether the current cycle is the tenth recurrence, or even the hundredth, but the distortions created by the repetition gradually changed people's consciousness. Ultimately, mankind rejected his power, choosing to progress to the future by their own will. While his methods differed from Shion's, Wilhelm undoubtedly sought to save the world just the same. Or perhaps what he truly wanted was a revolution in mankind's consciousness, brought about by the cyclical recurrence of time. --Link: chaos, KOS-MOS, U.M.N., Vector Industries, Compass of Order and Chaos, Zarathustra, Testament, Kevin Winnicot, Shion Uzuki, Vessel of Anima >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB011)-Bunnie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A caricature of a rabbit, well-known across all regions of the galaxy. Said to be originally the creation of a children's book author from planet Tessedora in the T.C. 4630s, but the facts are uncertain. As a result of the character's ambiguous copyright status, a variety of industries have used its cuteness to sell merchandise, creating a mass of wealth. The character is just as popular even now, in the latter half of the T.C. 4700s; toy store franchises like TOYS UNIVERSE have introduced original variations on the character in addition to selling the original design.

He appears before Shion and the others several times as a Testament. Before becoming a Testament, he was a Federation Police Inspector named Erich Weber. Erich, formerly a U.M.N. net addict, was struck with fear of the end that U-DO would bring; ultimately, this contact brought about in him an unslakable thirst for power. Assuming the name Voyager, he drived pleasure from assimilating the consciousness of other people into his network and controlling them, hoping to eventually ascend to a level of being equal to U-DO. Once he realized his wish would never be fulfilled while he remained bound by his human shell, he chose to cast aside his physical body and became a Testament.

Though his ID showed him to be 28 years old at the time of T.C. 4667, his true age is believed to be over 150 years old. His official occupation was a police officer, and his role was to provide external support as an operator to members diving into virtual space through the U.M.N..

Like Jr., he is a survivor of the URTV (U-DO Retro Virus) force that was created to combat U-DO. Named for the alchemical process of blackening as put forth in C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy." URTV Unit Number 669, a variant possessing the name Nigredo (pitch black). Presently hiding his identity as a URTV, he fills the role of Representative Trustee for the Kukai Foundation, along with Jr.. Black-haired, with dark green eyes. Calm in personality, he shoulders the trust and expectations of the Foundation members and holds powerful political influence. He was lauded for his defense and unification of victims prior to the enactment of the Species Preservation Act. He possesses the power to control the thoughts of others and the power of hypnotic suggestion (interference with a person's consciousness), using his voice as a medium. If Jr. is the practical controlling force behind the Kukai Foundation's activities, it can be said that Gaignun is the political force. It is through the combined efforts of them both that the Kukai Foundation's continued existence is made possible; without either, it would fail. Taken in by Helmer after the Miltian Conflict, Gaignun inherited the name of Zoze Kukai upon establishment of the Foundation. Incidentally, "Zoze Kukai" is the name of a fictitious industrialist invented by the Second Miltian government in order to pool special activities capital. Unlike the other URTVs, Gaignun was not programmed to react to U-DO waveforms. His true role was to act as a failsafe in the event that a powerful variant went berserk--specifically, the elimination of Jr.. Furthermore, Dmitri Yuriev planned to extend his own life by transplanting his psyche into Gaignun, due to Gaignun's special powers. After his body was taken over by Dmitri, Gaignun was forced to work towards Dmitri's goals, regardless of his own will. This ultimately brought about the military occupation of the Durandal and the awakening of Abel's Ark. Although Gaignun was asleep in the far reaches of Dmitri's consciousness, he was made well aware of Albedo's true desire to be rid of both Gaignun and Dmitri, and made it a reality by forcing Albedo's consciousness into Jr.'s body, so he could annihilate himself along with Dmitri. --Link: Jr., Dmitri Yuriev, URTV, Kukai Foundation, U-DO, Albedo Piazzolla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB020)-Catherine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the transgenic type Realians manufactured by Joachim Mizrahi. Addresses by the nickname Cathe. Manufactured by the order of Sergius XVII according to concrete data taken from Febronia that was tuned and used as the core of a system to control U-DO. Febronia refers to her as he little sister, but Realians possess neither blood relatives nor the concept of parents or siblings; strictly speaking, she is actually Febronia's clone. Febronia asks Shion to release their consciousness from the dual bonds of humanity and U-DO. She hopes for the release of all Realian consciousness. --Link: Cathe, Sergius XVII, Febronia, Joachim Mizrahi, Transgenic Type, Realian, U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB021)-Canaan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A special enhanced memory model Realian on loan from Vector to Second Miltia. He possesses hand-to-hand battle capabilities superior to those of combat Realians; in this case, however, those abilities are better suited for use as an E.S. pilot, rather than in battle. Canaan was install with Program Canaan, and the recording component ("personality") used was that of Lactis, a subordinate of Ziggy during his time as a Federation Police officer. From the fact that Canaan's memories of the Federation Police returned even after the recording of the Federation Police returned after the recording component had been reformatted, it was deduced that the memories and consciousness of Realians exist, like humans', within the realm of the collective unconscious. The special characteristics of Program Canaan allowed him to secure a bypass route to Wilhelm's power. Canaan, cleverly using Voyager's desires, connected Voyager's consciousness with that power, causing Voyager to overflow, and destroying him along with Canaan's own body. --Link: Wilhelm, Voyager, Ziggy, Lactis, Realian, E.S., Program Canaan, Enhanced Memory Model, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB022)-Cathe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nickname for Catherine, younger sister of Febronia.

Those who hold the position of Patriarch within Ormus--the core of the Immigrant Fleet--are the protectors of the Zohar; they usually possess the ability to link with the Zohar and draw out a portion of its power. While this can be said of all the "people of Zohar" who protected the Zohar during the evacuation of Earth, due to the thinning of the bloodline over the ages, very few people retain this ability, even within Ormus. He planned to monopolize control of the Original Zohar sleeping within Old Miltia in the hopes of solidifying the Immigrant Fleet's superiority over the Galaxy Federation. This was likely the result of both the historical background of the Federation's oppression and exploitation of the Immigrant Fleet as a minority, and the connection held by Sergius XIV with the Federation's Salvators. Sergius controlled the military of the Old Miltian Hierocracy, which was largely comprised of Fleet Immigrants. He moved the Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center, a division of the Federation's Zohar Research Organization, from planet Michtam to Old Miltia, renaming it the U-TIC Organization and placing it under Professor Mizrahi's administration. Top-secret anti-Federation lans were developed behind the scenes there. Wilhelm's actions as Ministry Cabinet Chair lay behind the fact that the Federation cast a blind eye upon the establishment of the U-TIC Organization. He activated Proto Omega on Old Miltia, but it was destroyed by a Testament. --Link: Sergius XVII, Immigrant Fleet, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, People of Zohar, Proto Omega, Planet Michtam, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB024)-Kirschwasser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The general term for the observational Realians constructed by Professor Joachim Mizrahi in order to collect data to use for MOMO's development. "Kirschwasser" is also the term for cherry brandy. Broadly interpreted, both MOMO and the Kirschwassers are Realians which Professor Mizrahi built for the sake of his daughter Sakura; the circumstances surrounding their construction, however, are visibly quite different. MOMO is the entity closest to Sakura and was born complete. The Kirschwassers, on the other hand, were merely tools of the experiment, made so that MOMO could be completed, and then to be disposed of. To the Kirschwassers, MOMO is the subject of both admiration and envy. That is not necessarily to say that many of the Kirschwassers that traveled with Albedo felt jealous of MOMO. The reason the Kirschwassers never left Albedo's side, no matter how harshly he treated them, was because of a strong resonance with the close, yet untouchable, existence in Albedo's life, and the feelings similar to unconditional love that it inspired. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, Realian, Albedo Piazzolla, Sakura Mizrahi, MOMO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB025)-Klaus Torres >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The only son of Irene Torres, President of the Torres Foundation, which primarily deals with the Immigrant Fleet and the spaceport industry on planet Abraxas.

He was the one responsible for causing the Zohar to go berserk thousands of years ago, destroying Lost Jerusalem; six months ago, he brought about the Gnosis terrorism. He went into hiding within the U.M.N., sending Gnosis under his control to attack the capital cities of various planets, and ultimately died within the U.M.N.. Though his crimes are officially listed as the work of an individual, he was in Vector's custody prior to the occurrence. Furthermore, the fact that Grimoire summoned and controlled Gnosis in an area under special Vector control, the S-Division, motivated Shion Uzuki to think that Vector and the U.M.N. might be connected with the Gnosis phenomenon, and to begin her investigation along with Scientia. Although many details behind the Gnosis terrorism were lost with Grimoire's death, such as his motive and goal, one source suggests that he likely shared a deep connection with the girl known as Nephilim, an that the Gnosis terrorism was part of a search for her. Vector has denied any and all connection to Grimoire or the Gnosis terrorism, and to this day refuses to comment on the events. --Link: U.M.N., Gnosis Terrorism, S-Line Division, Lost Jerusalem, Gnosis, Vector Industries, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB027)-chaos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A slight boy with an expression perpetually brimming with sorrow and a farsighted and philosophical manner of speech. Distinguished by his transparent eyes and silver hair. He is the human incarnation of Anima, a power derived from the collective unconscious and present since the beginning of the universe in this dimension. His powers act as a failsafe for all of dimensional space. As the resolve of his powers would mean the destruction of dimensional space, his powers were divided up into parts by his antithesis, Mary Magdalene (Animus) in the distant past. chaos regained his former powers through KOS-MOS's awakening, and left the possibility of a future in the hands of Abel-- U-DO that chose to remain in this lower dimension. chaos unleashed the power of Anima, performing a dimensional shift with Nephilim, the recipient of Mary's power, leading the consciousness of mankind to Lost Jerusalem. He still exists as the universe's failsafe. Because of his fate ordained by God--or perhaps because people struggling against their own fates desire his existence--his future form still lies within the chaotic darkness.

Shion's superior and lover. A man of great brilliance with a bright future ahead of him, until he was killed protecting Shion during an accident in which the Archetype went out of control during an activation test. After his death, Shion continued his work, taking the development of KOS-MOS into her own hands. Though generally a gentle young man who inspired trust in his subordinates, his expression was occasionally darkly clouded. A native of Michtam, he escaped by the hand of his fatally injured mother when the planet was destroyed as a result of the Zohar going out of control. Seceral years later, while at the C.S.R.C. during university, Kevin transferred along with Joachim to the U-TIC Organization, where he completed the initial planning of KOS-MOS on his own. After the Miltian Conflict, he took the fundamental theory behind KOS-MOS and joined Vector. The surname Winnicot is from his foster parents who took him in after his escape from Michtam; it is unknown whether Kevin is his true given name or not. Regardless, it remains true that as a native of Michtam-- inheritor of the blood of Abraxas, his lineage is steeped in deep connection to the Zohar. --Link: KOS-MOS, C.S.R.C., KOS-MOS [Archetype], Shion Uzuki, Joachim Mizrahi, Planet Abraxas, Planet Michtam, Vector Industries, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB030)-Kevin Winnicot [Child] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T.C. 4747. Following the destruction of planet Michtam, a resource recovery ship rescued a young boy assumed to have escaped in a pod. Upon hearing of a survivor, the Federal Accident Investigation Committee attempted to question him regarding the details of the accident, but the boy was unable to recount much, due to the shock of the tragedy, and the Committee's efforts ended in naught. Eventually placed in an orphanage, he was quickly accepted by foster parents, thanks to his keen intelligence. The surname Winnicot was taken from these parents; he refused to mention anything except for the name Kevin, and his original surname is unknown. Reports from the orphanage confirm that he carried a pendant thought to be a memento of his mother. His foster parents died in the ensuing Miltian Conflict, in which Realians across the galaxy went berserk. --Link: Planet Michtam, Kevin's Mother >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB031)-Kevin's Mother >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A woman who lived on planet Michtam--Abraxas. Kevin's mother and inheritor of the bloodline of the people of Zohar. She became a Gnosis at the time of Michtam's destruction. The pendant passed from Kevin to Shion was originally a possession of his mother, its composition the same as that of Michtam's underground ruins - Zarathustra, which leads one to believe that either she or her husband were not only descendants of the people of Zohar, but in addition had a deep connection with the ruins. --Link: Planet Michtam, People of Zohar, Zarathustra, Pendant, Kevin Winnicot, Planet Abraxas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB032)-KOS-MOS [Archetype] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In Jungian psychology, the archetype is the portion of the mind which is passed on hereditarily. It is said to be the model upon which the unconscious, instinctive workings of the mind are structured. The archetype was designed and constructed for the purpose of monitoring Shion. All of its functionality was contained within the core unit, which was later recovered and installed in KOS-MOS. Kevin, needing to die in front of Shion's eyes, had secretly installed a program into the archetype causing it to go out of control. the program was later engaged via the startup key which Kevin had given to Andrew. --Link: KOS-MOS, Andrew Cherenkov, Kevin Winnicot, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB033)-KOS-MOS [Test Type] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The frame put together by Shion and the others after transplanting the core module of the partially-destroyed Archetype into a spare frame. Christened KOS-MOS Version 1. Partially in order to shake off memories of the incident when the Archetype went out of control, the exterior of this model's design was much closer to that of a human body.

Vector staff refer to it as Version 2. In order to shield her internal organs from shocks delivered to the outer body during combat, her body was filled with fluorescent blue anti-G gel. The Hilbert emission device. which had taken the form of a visor in Version 1, was miniaturized and installed into he forehead. Her body was designed with the implementation of the Tertiary Weapons System in mind; its resilience was increased dramatically. --Link: KOS-MOS, Tertiary Weapons System, Vector Industries, Vector Second R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB035)-KOS-MOS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A female-shaped battle android developed by the interplanetary conglomerate Vector Industries. A being created entirely from mechanical parts, exceptionally rare in this area of advanced Realian technology. Prioritizing the three fundamentals of logic, efficiency, and duty, she protects her creator Shion unconditionally. She is equipped with an "Artificial Personality OS" in hopes of facilitating smooth communication with others, and her tone is that of an android subservient to humans. As she is actually just prioritizing logic and efficiency, however, she can often be difficult to handle. KOS-MOS is the term applied to the entire anti-Gnosis combat system; it stands for "Kosmos Obey Strategical Multiple Operation Systems." Why were KOS-MOS's repairs that took place on the Miltia of the past within Shion's deep memory, a type of imaginary space, reflected in the real world? One reason is the fact that actions in one portion of the U.M.N., the deep memory--that is to say, the collective unconscious-- are equivalent to those in the real world according to one definition, where the difference is strictly subjective-- brought about by the observer's recognition of it as such. Though KOS-MOS awakened as Mary Magdalene as a result of T-elos' defeat, Mary's original memories and characteristics have undergone a transformation, leading to the creation of an entirely new personality which is both Mary and not Mary at the same time. This is fundamentally analogous to Sakura's transformation into MOMO. --Link: Mary Magdalene, Android, Vector Industries, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB036)-Sakura Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The daughter of Joachim Mizrahi and Juli, upon whom MOMO was modeled.

She entered Vector Industries's First R&D Division in T.C. 4763 at the age of 18. Though two years younger than Allen, her accelerated pace made her one year his senior at Vector. Following the Gnosis terrorism, she left Vector and enlisted the help of Scientia in pursuit of the truth behind that string of incidents and the hidden dangers of the U.M.N.. Only a few people know that she has a congenital, unique sense that has allowed her to see into imaginary space since early childhood--impossible, for most people. The holographic glasses she wears were a present from Kevin during her time at Vector; they serve not to correct her vision, but to control this ability. However, as this sense of hers is not active all the time, and as she "has gotten used to it," she removes the glasses when they present an inconvenience to her daily life. Her consciousness has existed since the time of Lost Jerusalem as the Maiden, when she enjoyed a close relationship with Mary Magdalene. Her brief vision of the distant past was not through KOS-MOS's memory, but through her own. It can be deduced from KOS-MOS's last words that Shion's former self died as a result of being caught up in some larger occurrence, and that KOS-MOS (Mary) had been unable to protect her. After discovering Allen's feelings for her on Michtam, Shion took the first step towards her independence. Shion, for whom Kevin's existence was so large that it had occluded Allen's feelings for her until then, might have felt that Allen, who lived in a world entirely opposite from her own, could better provide her heart a place of respite than Kevin, whose circumstances mirrored her own.

He resumed his post two years later as a battle cyborg. His current posting is Contact Subcommittee member Juli Mizrahi. His name in life was Jan Sauer. The final rank he held in life was detachment captain for the 1875th Special Ops Command. He later worked on tracking the Voyager incident with Melisse Ortus, founder of Scientia, and Lactis, a Canaan-type Realian in the special investigation unit. During his time in the detachment unit, his and Voyager's relationship was that of superior and subordinate. Voyager sensed the loneliness in Ziggy's heart and invited him to join the Testaments, but Ziggy decisively rejected Voyager's temptations by shooting himself in the head. It is possible that Ziggy's heart knew peace for the first time after Voyager was sent away after the destruction of Michtam. No one knows how much longer his brain will survive. However, for as long as he can, he'll do what he was unable to do before--dedicate his life protecting those he cares about. Such was his promise to his departed friends. --Link: Voyager, Jan Sauer, Melisse Ortus, Juli Mizrahi, Lactis, Cyborg, Contact Subcommittee, 1875th Special Ops Command >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB041)-Ziggurat 8 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The model number of Ziggy's body and the general name for Ziggurat Industries' Type 8 model battle cyborg. Different from the consumer models, this body was designed specifically for law enforcement use and features exceptional nerve impulse reaction speeds, resilience, and resistance to bullets. Of course, special machinery is required for its maintenance, and the upkeep costs are considerable. Though Ziggurat Industries has long since closed their now-obsolete production lines in this era of the Galaxy Federation's Realian technology, the individual combat and defense capabilities of cyborgs still trump those of combat Realians, and Ziggurat Industries supposedly still supplies replacement parts to official organizations that continue to choose their product. Ziggurat Type 8 models typically transfer their neural infrastructure from a Realian base body to they inhabit while off-duty into their cyborg body when deployed on a mission. Ziggy, however, remains in his Type 8 body at all times out of personal preference, and does not require a Realian base body. --Link: Ziggy, Cyborg, Ziggurat Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB042)-Citrine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> URTV unit number 668. The 668th UTRV created by Dmitri Yuriev. She was given the ability to function as a failsafe in the event that URTV unit number 666, Rubedo, went out of control. Genetically XX--that is to say, female--her physical capabilities are identical to those of her male counterpart, Nigredo, as a result of Salvator's genetic modification technology. They differ only in that she does not also function as a host for Dmitri. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Nigredo, Rubedo, Salvator, URTV, URTV Unit Number 666, URTV Unit Number 668 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB043)-Sharon Rozas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A doctor at the Federation Police Hospital. Her husband was an officer, but died in the line of duty. She lived with her young son Joaquin. As a result of assisting with the Federation Police special investigations unit's case regarding Voyager, she remembered that she had once been called one of the people of Zohar. Furthermore, her heart connected with the awkward but pure Jan and she remarried in T.C. 4667. However, shortly after her marriage, she was killed by the U.M.N. terrorist Voyager. --Link: Voyager, Jan Sauer, People of Zohar, Joaquin Rozas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB044)-Jan Sauer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ziggy's name in life. Stationed in the Federation Police 1875th Special Ops Command. He departed for planet Abraxas as captain of the detachment responsible for the suppression of U.M.N. terrorist Voyager on orders for his arrest. In T.C. 4667, he died in the line of duty while pursuing Voyager. According to reports, he shot himself in the head as the result of psychological instability brought on by the pressures of the long-term investigation. A registered donor, his remains were ultimately collected by Ziggurat Industries --Link: Voyager, Planet Abraxas, Ziggurat Industries, 1875th Special Ops Command, Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB045)-Jr. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A survivor of the URTVs--the special group of people created based on data collected from U-DO, the discarnate entity that threatened the Galaxy Federation in the past, in order to be its anti-existence. His official name is URTV unit number 666, Rubedo. He was born from the same embryo as URTV unit number 667, Albedo. He has the ability to activate the special anti-U-DO waveform mode Red Dragon, which causes mutual destruction upon contact with U-DO. In order to contain that dual-edged power, Jr. has half-subconsciously halted the development of his own body. However, as this mutual destruction extends only to Jr. and the observational terminal part of U-DO, from a cost-benefit perspective, his powers cannot be called a complete anti-U-DO solution. It is difficult to think that Dmitri, having personally experienced direct contact with U-DO, would have created the URTV's without realizing this. Perhaps it is more likely that Jr. and his kind were created out of a need to accumulate data before Dmitri could ascend to an existence equivalent to U-DO. In fact, Dmitri, who had been monitoring Albedo's subconscious through Canaan, obtained the Y-Data, revived the relic of God, and proceeded to the Ark in order to become His kin. Jr. was able to reunite with Albedo through Gaignun's sacrifice. Although objectively his condition became that of two minds inhabiting a single body, his relationship with Albedo is like the two sides of a single being. --Link: Rubedo, URTV, URTV Unit Number 666, URTV Unit Number 667, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms, Red Dragon, Albedo Piazzolla, Gaignun Kukai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB046)-Lieutenant Commander >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A member of the U-TIC Organization and subordinate to Andrew. He went undercover aboard the Woglinde in order to secure the Zohar. A short-tempered man, constantly barking at his subordinates, "Quit slacking!" He boarded the Naglfar Cannon in the Sunken City of Old Miltia and stood in the way of Shion and the others. He has an estranged older brother. --Link: Sunken City, U-TIC Organization, Andrew Cherenkov >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB047)-Sean McCallum >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chief of the Federation Police 1875th Special Ops Command. He displays absolute obedience to orders given from above. A fundamentally stubborn man, but also thorough in his consideration for his subordinates. Especially in regards to Jan Sauer--perhaps, because he once worked under Jan's father, he displays a level of understanding comparable to an adoptive father. --Link: Jan Sauer, 1875th Special Ops Command, Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB048)-Jin Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Former Captain of the Galaxy Federation Special Ops Intelligence Bureau. Older brother of Shion. While in the military, he was ranked directly under Margulis and was Pellegri's superior. He and Margulis both learned swordsmanship under Jin's grandfather, Ouga Uzuki. After becoming aware of Margulis's treachery during the Miltian Conflict, Jin received information from his father Suou and began his own secret-information activities under then-Lieutenant General Helmer. His relationship with chaos also began during this period. While he shared a deep connection with Pellegri during his time in the Federation military, they never walked the same path again, due to the differences in their relative stations. It is a particularly sad conclusion considering that his mother Aoi, like Pellegri, had inherited the bloodline of the Immigrant Fleet, and the same blood clearly ran through Jin. Though his life was lost defending chaos in the Zarathustra battle, his spirit--his consciousness-- travels alongside Nephilim to the distant land of Lost Jerusalem. Perhaps his consciousness, like those of countless others, lies in sleep eternal, awaiting the appointed day. Until a time when all had gathered. --Link: chaos, Helmer, Pellegri, Margulis, Immigrant Fleet, Aoi Uzuki, Shion Uzuki, Suou Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB049)-Suou Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Supervisor for the Federation Special Inspection Office of Advanced Technology Department of Energy. Father of Shion and Jin. Supervisor for the Federation government who was sent to monitor the U-TIC Organization. Despite officially being a government-established body, the large concentration of former citizens of the Immigrant Fleet amongst its staff provoked the fears of the Federation. Though initially rigorous in his work, after Suou was contacted by Ormus, he began to issue reports to the Federation government which served the interests of Ormus--the Immigrant Fleet--in return for medical treatment for his wife Aoi. The U-TIC Organization's budget was expanded at Suou's recommendation, leading to increased armament for Miltia's former autonomous military--the principal force of the U-TIC Organization. Increasingly stricken by feelings of guilt as a result of this arming of the U-TIC Organization and Miltia's former government, which had long resented their incorporation into the Federation, Suou made contact with Jin, then a member of the Federation Special-Ops, and leaked secret information regarding the U-TIC Organization--Ormus. Jin passed that information to Lieutenant General Helmer of the Special-Ops Command on planet Zavarov, and a troop drop operation onto Miltia was planned. At the same time, the secret information was also passed to Dmitri at the Yuriev Institute on Zavarov; responsible for providing technological support to the Special Ops, he planned to use the URTVs to take over Miltia completely. --Link: Helmer, Immigrant Fleet, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Aoi Uzuki, Shion Uzuki, Jin Uzuki, Galaxy Federation, F.S.I. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB050)-Scott >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A young man originally from planet Brezza. Originally only visiting the Kukai Foundation out of his interest in Lost Jerusalem-era antiques, he found it so comfortable there that he stayed on. Later, finding a kindred spirit in an elderly man at the Iron Man bar, he moved in the the Robot Academy and now works night and day as the elderly Professor's assistant, researching giant robots. A huge fan of liquor, despite his reserved appearance. --Link: Professor, Kukai Foundation, Robot Academy, Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB051)-Cecilia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the transgenic type Realians manufactured by Joachim Mizrahi. Addressed by the nickname Cecily. Manufactured by order of Sergius XVII according to concrete data taken from Febronia that was tuned and used as the core of a system to control U-DO. Febronia refers to her as her little sister, but Realians possess neither blood relatives nor the concept of parents or siblings; strictly speaking, she is actually Febronia's clone. Febronia asks Shion to release their consciousness from the dual bonds of humanity and U-DO. She hopes for the release of all Realian consciousness. --Link: Cecily, Sergius XVII, Febronia, Joachim Mizrahi, Transgenic Type, Realian, U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB052)-Cecily >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nickname for Cecilia, younger sister of Febronia.

After Joachim's death, Sellers plagiarized his life's work and directed a series of experiments using an Emulator at the Ormus Department of Sacraments. He presently works for the Federation on the development of Omega Res Novae under Dmitri Yuriev. A man perpetually fixated on surpassing the heights reached by Joachim Mizrahi. Sellers originally came from the Federation, not the Immigrant Fleet. After discovering the existence of Ormus, he made contact through a personal connection. Though he held the position of Assistant Director of the Department of Sacraments, he had no official rank within Ormus. Even though, after the collapse of Miltia, Sellers saw the Federation's advantage and used his connections with Dmitri to join Salvator and the Federation, his decision was motivated exclusively by self-interest in achieving his goals, and not through any personal loyalty to the Federation. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Omega Res Novae, Joachim Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB054)-Sergius XIV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Patriarch of the Immigrant Fleet's radical faction who conspired with Voyager to assassinate Julius XVIII, a proponent of reconciliation with the Galaxy Federation. Despite his plans to directly utilize the energy of the Zohar and to seize total control of planet Abraxas, the Federation interfered with the political workings of planet Abraxas as a result of the incident in which the Zohar went out of control, forcing him to abdicate as Patriarch before his ambitions could be fulfilled. --Link: Voyager, Julius XVIII, Planet Abraxas, Immigrant Fleet, Galaxy Federation, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB055)-Sergius XVII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Ormus Patriarch. Though he overwhelmed Shion and the others on Miltia by using Proto Omega, his existence was obliterated by the Testaments. Sergius, like all people of the Zohar, possessed the ability to make contact with the faint waves put out by the Zohar; but as an Ormus Patriarch, his power was stronger than normal. It is believed that this is what allowed him to control Proto Omega remotely. However, his powers were not as fully awakened as those of the test subjects kept in Labyrinthos, who had made direct contact with U-DO. --Link: Patriarch, Labyrinthos, Ormus, U-DO, People of Zohar, Proto Omega, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB056)-Zora >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Secretary-type android. Government-issue Galaxy Federation-made android stationed as Dmitri Yuriev's assistant. An existence like Zora's--an android made entirely of artificial parts--was hardly a rarity in the T.C. 4600s, before Realian technology became practical. It is said that they were more highly valued than human workers for the reliability of their memory and the precision of their work, making them well-suited to schedule maintenance and other routine work. Types with a variety of external appearances were made to suit the needs of various applications. As a secretary-type, Zora was made in a female form, although that sexist way of thinking was met with more than a few complaints. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Android >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB057)-Dmitri Yuriev >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Former Galaxy Federation Parliament Member and donor of the genes used in URTVs like Jr. and Gaignun. quite influential during his time in parliament, he retains many connections within the Federation to this day. Though said to have died prior to the Miltian Conflict, he stepped back onto the public stage at the time of the Ormus-caused space-time anomaly in Miltian space. An ambitious man, and a schemer. He operates a private research facility, the Yuriev Institute. After his awakening, he takes control of the Salvator faction in parliament as well as military forces and moves to secure the Zohar.A test subject in a living matter transportation experiment conducted in the earliest days of the U.M.N., he made contact with U-DO during the experiment and was contaminated. Additionally, he was the Galaxy Federation's first Salvator. The terror he felt at the time resulted in trauma which later motivated him to assemble the URTVs in the hope of obliterating U-DO entirely. Using the special powers he developed as a result of his contact with U-DO, he projected his consciousness into the body of URTV survivor Gaignun Kukai and gripped the reins of the Zohar Project. --Link: Jr., Salvator, Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO, Gaignun Kukai, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB058)-Tethlla Magus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Central figure of the resistance movement organized by mine workers in the Dabrye Mine to combat the harsh working conditions forced upon them by the U-TIC Organization. He was captured by the U-TIC Organization during the mine workers' riots. He was subsequently held as a connection experiment test subject at Labyrinthos, where he lost his life. While his father Aizen Magus is convinced that the U-TIC Organization murdered Tethlla during the riots, Tethlla's daughter Mai Magus still believes somewhere in her heart that her father is still alive. --Link: Aizen Magus, Mai Magus, Dabrye Mine, Labyrinthos, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB059)-T-elos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The cutting-edge android built by Kevin to replace KOS-MOS. T-elos boasts capabilities that far exceed KOS-MOS's in all respects. Kevin began work on the design during his childhood in Old Miltia, and a portion of his design data was passed on to Ormus by Sellers, their acting technology consultant. The name "T-elos" is derived from the ancient Greek word for the ultimate state of being or limitless power. Over 80% of the body structure is based on the reanimated body of Mary Magdalene, recovered from Rennes-le-Château, and thus can be rightly described as flesh and blood. The reason why T-elos nevertheless vastly surpasses KOS-MOS Version 3 is because T-elos interfaces directly with the U.M.N., regulating the material domain data. Intending to assimilate the consciousness of KOS-MOS, the half of Mary that exists in imaginary space, and become a single whole, T-elos is instead defeated by the awakened KOS-MOS. --Link: KOS-MOS, Sellers, Mary Magdalene, U.M.N., Miltia, Rennes-le-Château, Ormus, Kevin Winnicot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB060)-Doctus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Agent of the underground organization Scientia, chiefly responsible for directing infiltration and combat units. A woman who carries out her missions in a calm and collected manner. She met Jin Uzuki six months ago during the investigation into Grimoire's Gnosis terrorism, and subsequently followed Shion when she left Vector to join her investigating Vector and the U.M.N.. Her body is a remote control-type android, controlled by the real Doctus by projecting her consciousness into its artificial brain to manipulate the body. Her real location is top secret information even within the ranks of Scientia, and is only known by a select few of the higher-ups within the organization. She frequently speaks in Latin, saying things such as: Unus magister est optimus. "Practice makes perfect." Errare humanum est. "To err is human." --Link: Android, Gnosis Terrorism >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB061)-Donald Marquand >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Temporary Representative to the planet Abraxas Archon Zone during the late T.C. 4600s. Amidst a climate of reconciliatory policies between the Immigrant Fleet and the Galaxy Federation, he was suspected of controlling a far right-wing organization in favor of the Federation. In an effort to wipe away that scandal, he assembled a group of children who had inherited the bloodline of the Immigrant Fleet, which was under Abraxas's galactic jurisdiction, to form the Goodwill Ambassadorship. He held an amnesty summit to bring the Immigrant Fleet and Galaxy Federation together, but the event was targeted by Voyager. He resigned as the result of an investigation into his responsibility in the Ambassador Lock-Up Incident. --Link: Ambassador Lock-Up Incident, Planet Abraxas, Archon Zone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB062)-Tony >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Helmsman of the Kukai Foundation cilivian cargo and passenger spaceship Elsa. While gentlemanly in appearance, his personality visibly shifts to that of a daredevil once he grips the helm. He is the childhood friend of Hammer, the navigator. Nonetheless, his self-labeled "best in space" piloting technique really is top-class, and has gotten the Elsa through countless dangerous situations in the past. Despite his gruff way of speaking and other roguish tendencies, his good nature and constant consideration for others inspire trust in everyone around him. He exhibits a belief in the supernatural by his exaggerated respect for the dead and his habit of chanting "Our Father, who art in heaven..." when in a pinch. An unrivaled womanizer. --Link: Hammer, Elsa, Kukai Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB063)-Nigredo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> URTV unit number 669.

She existed as a human during the era of Lost Jerusalem. At that time, the Zohar was excavated from Lake Turkana and shipped to Toronto, Canada, where its analysis began. After it had been discovered that the Zohar produced tremendous energy in response to a specific brainwave wavelength, everyone had become fixated upon finding a method to extract it. Systems programmer Grimoire Verum completed the control program Lemegeton based on the ancient language that had been unearthed from the same ruins as the Zohar. The system went out of control during a control experiment, and the young girl participating in the experiment became the first to disappear. The disappearance phenomenon continued to expand, eventually erasing all of Earth from dimensional space. The girl who disappeared at this time was none other than Nephilim. From the fact that the girl's disappearance coincided with the appearance of Abel, it can be deduced that the two share a cause-and-effect relationship. The Song of Nephilim is the result of amplifying the wavelengths created by Lemegeton through the use of a giant tuning fork. That system was designed and built by Joachim Mizrahi. --Link: Abel, Grimoire Verum, Joachim Mizrahi, Lost Jerusalem, Song of Nephilim, Lemegeton. Shion Uzuki, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB065)-Heinlein >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hyams Corporation representative and Ormus cardinal. Responsible for technological research and development and securing funds, he is the second most influential member of Ormus, after Sergius XVII. Despite this, he has never shown himself in public; even Margulis and his men have never seen him directly. Many, including Margulis, sympathize with Heinlein's wish for a return to Lost Jerusalem through Ormus, and give him their loyalty. After the death of Sergius XVII, he assumes control of Ormus and moves to take back Ormus's holy land, Michtam. His true identity is Wilhelm, who owned and operated both Vector and Hyams. The development of a Vector-manufactured E.S. at Labyrinthos was all part of Wilhelm's plan. --Link: Wilhelm, Serhius XVII, Margulis, Lost Jerusalem, Ormus, Hyams, Planet Michtam, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB066)-Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> His real name is Haksheen White. Genius scientist who graduated at the top of his class at the University of Bormeo. After graduation, he was scouted by Vector and a number of other top-tier research and development companies. He rejected all of the offers, however, and disappeared. He met Shion and the others after establishing the dubious research facility known as the Robot Academy on the Kukai Foundation. Later, that fateful meeting became the key to accomplishing his dream of creating an indestructible giant robot, Erde Kaiser. --Link: University of Bormeo, Kukai Foundation, Robot Academy, Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB067)-Hammer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Navigator of the Kukai Foundation civilian cargo and passenger spaceship Elsa. A renowned hacker as a teenager, he got cocky and made a move on a certain criminal organization's database, and became targeted for retribution as a result. Saved by Matthews, their relationship has continued since then. He is the childhood friend of Tony, the helmsman. Even though his navigational skills are top-class and he has the trust of Matthews and Tony, people often assume that he is just a clown upon first meeting him, perhaps because of his levity. While his flippant remarks often incite Matthews's anger, they appear to consider that a part of the bond they share. Irrepressibly curious, he actively tries to get involved in everything, though he's also timid and often has reservations, quick to back out of what he's gotten himself into. --Link: Tony, Matthews, Elsa, Kukai Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB068)-Febronia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of a special transgenic type of Realian designed by Joachim Mizrahi for the Zohar connection experiments, as part of the U-TIC Organization's Zohar control project. Additionally three others, Cecilia, Catherine, and Almadel were created from her body. They were used in the Zohar connection experiments on Miltia. She met Shion as a child at the time of the Miltian Conflict, and looked after her in Shion's hospitalized mother's stead. Later, she met Luis Virgil, who had been wounded in battle, and transplanted a portion of her own body tissue in order to save his life. For a brief while after that, she and the human Virgil rendezvoused frequently, nurturing the love between them. However, when the combat Realians went out of control upon the activation of the Song of Nephilim, she shielded Virgil and Shion, and was brutally killed before their eyes. --Link: Catherine, Cecilia, Joachim Mizrahi, Luis Virgil, Transgenic Type, Realian, U-TIC Organization, Original Zohar, Shion Uzuki [Child] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB069)-Pêche >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The French "pêche" translates into English as "peach." Although similar in spelling, the French "péché" translates into English as "sin." Albedo's "Ah, ma belle pêche..there's no need to tremble like that. Else you'll make me feel like a... péché myself..." is a play on the similarity between the two French words, and is making reference to MOMO's "sin" of being built atop the corpses of the Kirschwassers. The English translation for "momo" is "peach." Albedo truly is a cunning linguist. --Link: Kirschwasser, MOMO, Albedo Piazzolla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB070)-Betty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In most cases, humans who come into contact with Gnosis turn white and shatter; in rare instances, however, a person will transform into Gnosis themselves. Betty is the remains of such a case; before the Gnosis transformation, she was a "girl." Despite her form, Jr. and the others refuse to see her as a mere object or number. They call her by this name after finding a monogrammed "B" amongst her belongings. Her name when she was a human is unknown. --Link: Jr., Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB071)-Helmer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Representative of Second Miltia's autonomous government. Friend and sympathizer to Gaignun Kukai and Jr., he played a principal role in establishing the Kukai Foundation. A cautious strategist, always sure to make the first move and pull strings as necessary. Typically gentle and flexible in demeanor, the depths of his eyes sometimes show a keen sparkle indicative of his history as a military officer. When the Kukai Foundation fell under suspicion, he swiftly made the necessary arrangements to help Gaignun and his team. He has been aware of the dangers of the Zohar and the U-DO system from an early stage, and has engaged in a variety of activities along with the Kukai Foundation in an effort to stop trouble before it happens. Jin's superior during his time in the military, Helmer feared the rise of the U-TIC Organization and the awakening of U-DO and used Jin to gather information. After the Gnosis terrorism incidents, he began independently monitoring Vector and Dmitri Yuriev under the auspices of the Contact Subcommittee. --Link: Gaignun Kukai, Jr., Second Miltia, Kukai Foundation, Contact Subcommittee, Jin Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB072)-Hermann >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ormus Inquisitor under the command of Chief Inquisitor Margulis.

Commands the U-TIC Organization and Ormus's work forces as Margulis's right hand. Though her speech and conduct give the impression that she is a moderate, she is ruthless in her efforts to accomplish the Organization's goals. Born of the people of Zohar from Michtam like Margulis, she gives her all as an Inquisitor in order to facilitate a return to the holy motherland of Lost Jerusalem. It appears that she had some form of relationship with Jin Uzuki in the past, and that both of them continue to carry that with them. --Link: Jin Uzuki, Margulis, Lost Jerusalem, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Inquisitors, People of Zohar, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB074)-Joaquin Rozas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Son of Sharon Rozas. The death of his police officer father in his early childhood made him strongly independent, and he constantly looked after his mother. Sharon met Jan through her work. Seeing the image of his late father in Jan, Joaquin considered Jan to be his true father after Sharon and Jan were married. He was killed by Voyager in T.C. 4667. --Link: Voyager, Sharon Rozas, Jan Sauer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB075)-Margulis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chief Inquisitor of the secret society Ormus. Publicly, he holds the title of commander-in-chief of the U-TIC Organization. A merciless master of the sword, with exceptional battle prowess and crystal-clear judgement; the leadership he displays within Ormus beneath his lofty ideals is absolute. Muscular in stature, his cheek sports a large scar. That scar was given to him by Jin Uzuki's sword 15 years earlier, during the Miltian Conflict. As a youth, both he and Jin Uzuki trained the sword under Jin's grandfather; it is said that, at the time, Margulis's skill surpassed that of Jin. Upon becoming Colonel of the Galaxy Federation Special Ops, he received orders from Heinlein in his capacity as a member of Ormus and began secret intelligence activities in earnest. The events that occurred during that time tied Margulis and Jin together with strong bonds of fate. Born a member of planet Michtam's people of Zohar, he resented the Galaxy Federation for its destruction of his homeland, and pledged loyalty to Cardinal Heinlein in hopes of fulfilling the people of Zohar's greatest wish: a return to the holy motherland of Lost Jerusalem. --Link: Jin Uzuki, Heinlein, Lost Jerusalem, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Inquisitors, People of Zohar, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB076)-Mai Magus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tethlla Magus's beloved daughter.

Formerly a member of the Galaxy Federation government's naval forces, he later became a so-called recycler, roaming through space collecting, repairing, and reselling military goods; the last few years, however, have mainly been filled with work for the Foundation. A natural leader filled with a sense of social duty, he is quick to step forward to protect the people he knows when danger threatens. However, the fact that his actions are currently driven by the need to repay a huge amount of debt is somewhat pathetic. A wasteful spender, he is constantly in debt. He is especially deep in debt to the Kukai Foundation; even his beloved swan-like ship has been put up as collateral. He has a rustic and hearty personality, and is also an unparalleled lush. His love of liquor is such that he created a bar within his ship. Even in an era of technology as advanced as the encephalon, his interest run towards the nostalgic, such as wanting to attend live concerts. --Link: Elsa, Kukai Foundation, Recycler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB078)-Masuda >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The man who oversaw the large scale excavation of Kenya's Lake Turkana under the sponsorship of Vector Industries and discovered ruins connected to the Zohar. Beyond his name and the excavation results, essentially nothing is known about him. Based on his name, he is assumed to be of Japanese descent. His discovery of the Zohar brought about a dramatic change in the subsequent sphere of human existence. The Zohar discovered by Masuda was transferred to Vector's labs, where various examination experiments were performed. --Link: Lake Turkana, Vector Industries, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB079)-Boss >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Goatee-sporting owner of Moby Dick's Café who looks every bit the part. His name is Stubb. He originally ran a café in another location, but moved to the Second Sector due to the area's redevelopment. Jin recommended "Moby Dick" to him because it features a character who shares his name. He casually began to read this famous novel and got hooked, eventually buying his own copy from Jin's bookstore. The extent of his affection for the book can be sen from the name of the café and its decor. His line of liqueurs are popular, but so is his curry and the rest of his food menu. He has passed a variety of recipes on to Shion, a regular at his shop. Whether in earnest or in jest, whenever Jin comes to the café, he tells him, "I wouldn't mind giving this place up, if it were to Shion." --Link: Curry, Moby Dick's Café >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB080)-Mary Magdalene >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A black-haired woman who lived long ago in Lost Jerusalem. She divided up and sealed away chaos's power as Anima. In the story, she is called the partner of the Messiah, though it is unknown whether she is actually the historical figure of Mary Magdalene. Judging from her words to Shion in the story, she likely shared some bond with her in the past life. --Link: chaos, Lost Jerusalem, Shion Uzuki, Vessel of Anima >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB081)-Mikhail Ortmann >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Skilled Operator for the Federation Police Special Ops Command. He is well-versed regarding the U.M.N. and other networks. Like Erich, he supported the special investigations unit from the outside as they dove into the virtual space constructed within the U.M.N.. Also, he was usually the one to set the mood within the team. He died in the line of duty in T.C. 4667, the victim of brainjacking while in pursuit of Voyager. --Link: Voyager, Federation Police, Erich Weber >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB082)-Miyuki Itsumi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Former Systems Programmer for Vector Industries First R&D Division, Shion's junior. Her best attribute is her constantly chipper and upbeat personality. Her ability to maintain her usual brightness even under gave circumstances is not bravado, but a sign of legitimate toughness. Joining Vector Second R&D Division was the realization of her longtime wish. Currently, she's immersed in new weapons development. Her tendency to rack up expenses at every turn is a perpetual source of headaches amongst her superiors. In a manner of speaking, she is a woman true to her own desires. Quite the mechanical whiz, she is always asking Shion and the others to try out her latest inventions, which include Shion's M.W.S.. Patent applications are something of a hobby for her. --Link: M.W.S., Shion Uzuki, Vector Industries, Vector First R&D Division, Vector Second R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB083)-Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A mutant created through Life Recycling. Chief of the Kukai Foundation's First Strategy Division. Together with Shelley, she assists Jr. and Gaignun and supports the Foundation. Originally an illegal test subject at a pharmaceutical company, she now resides on the Kukai Foundation after being taken in by Jr. and the others. She speaks with what seems like a strange accent from the outer planets and strives to be the galaxy's top comedian--supposedly. Bright and energetic, she keeps the crew and 100-Series aboard the Durandal in top spirits. She is able to communicate telepathically with Shelley via interlink. --Link: Jr., Überhumans, Interlink, Durandal, Kukai Foundation, Gaignun Kukai, Shelley Godwin, Life Recycling Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB084)-Melisse Ortus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Female investigator placed in the 1875th Special Ops Command immediately after graduating from the Federation Police Academy. A no-nonsense woman with a strong sense of justice; quick to take action. However, this meant she frequently placed the team in danger by acting on her own judgement in the name of her sense of justice. She was arrested by the Federation Police as part of a group of suspects immediately after Voyager's attack on the Pilgrimage Meeting in T.C. 4667. However, her culpability was questioned on the grounds of her unsound mental condition, and she was later acquitted. She was subsequently sent to a treatment facility, but disappeared after her release. After T.C. 4669, she was said to be responsible for unifying various anti-U.M.N. groups from around the galaxy and forming the terrorist group known as Scientia. --Link: Voyager, U.M.N., Scientia, 1875th Special Ops Command, Federation Police, Federation Police Academy, Pilgrimage Meeting >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB085)-MOMO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The prototype for the 100-Series-Multi-Observational Realian; officially known as the "Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus." Developed in order to make contact with and observe the Gnosis, which are only perceptible via "a certain special sense." Developed after the transgenic type and the 99 Kirschwasser test bodies, MOMO can aptly be called the combined product of all the galaxy's latest technology. Built by Joachim Mizrahi. Her appearance was modeled on Professor Mizrahi's late child Sakura Mizrahi. Though she was given the bodily appearance of a child by Joachim Mizrahi, this is only a temporary measure until the final adjustments can be made to her functionalities. She was designed to be transferred from her current body once its capabilities and central nervous network are completed, allowing her the possibility of growing into an adult woman in the future. The transgenic type is a hybrid of human genes and ALC Alcumia--essentially, the genes of the Realians. Consequently, MOMO, in her finalized form, shares an affinity with human cells, and would potentially be able to conceive a child. Regular 100-Series Multi-Observational Realians have only their anti-Gnosis capabilities in common with MOMO; as products manufactured by the Galaxy Federation government, their abilities are similar to those of regular Realians, making MOMO an entirely unique entity. MOMO, left at the dawn of a new era after the events at Michtam, began to work with Ziggy, Juli and the others in order to rebuild the world, firm in her belief that the construction of a new network was one path to saving the world. She believed that such a network promised a reunion with those who had already departed. --Link: Kirschwasser, Sakura Mizrahi, Joachim Mizrahi, Transgenic Type, Gnosis, 100-Series Observational Unit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB086)-Captain Moriyama >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> His full name was Kazuichi Moriyama. He held the rank of captain in the Galaxy Federation Navy, though he was also part of the investigative force following the disappearance of planet Ariadne as captain of the cruiser Woglinde. He was well liked for his strong sense of responsibility, warm personality, and the high degree of understanding he exhibited towards his subordinates. Despite his bold command during the large-scale Gnosis attack upon the Woglinde, he lost his life to a Gnosis that smashed directly into the CIC (Combat Information Center). --Link: Disappearance of Planet Ariadne, Woglinde, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB087)-Yukihira Togashi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Researcher at the KOS-MOS Project General Operations Systems Development Lab. His hobby is judo. He entered Vector First R&D Division immediately after the incident in which KOS-MOS went out of control. Though in love with his co-worker Miyuki, she transferred to the Second R&D Division before he had made a move; his sensitive soul, at odds with his appearance, was left holding the pain of unrequited love. Partially in hopes of distracting himself from his hurt feelings, he makes teasing Allen, the new Chief, a crucial part of his daily routine. --Link: KOS-MOS, Allen Ridgeley, Miyuki Itsumi, Vector Industries, Vector First R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB088)-Julius XVIII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The man who held the position of Immigrant Fleet Patriarch during the middle of the T.C. 4600s.He was well-known as the moderate Patriarch who proposed a divide-and-rule system for planet Abraxas with the Galaxy Federation. His thinking, prioritizing the peaceful use of the Zohar, despite the fact that planet Abraxas was essentially under the sovereignty of the Immigrant Fleet nation, led the future Patriarch Sergius XIV to assassinate him immediately before the Pilgrimage Meeting. --Link: Sergius XIV, Planet Abraxas, Immigrant Fleet, Galaxy Federation, Pilgrimage Meeting, Divide and Rule Measure, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB089)-Juli Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Galaxy Federation government Contact Subcommittee Dedicated Representative. Wife of the late Joachim Mizrahi. Her maiden name is Niwashiro. Following the Miltian Conflict, which had been brought about by her husband Joachim, she proposed the establishment of the Contact Subcommittee out of concern for the spreading Gnosis phenomenon. Though initially cold towards MOMO, who had been created in the image of her beloved daughter, MOMO's earnestness gradually opened her heart. She is currently acting as an observer from the Contact Subcommittee at the Consolidated Advanced Technology Testing Ground where the Zohar Project is taking place. Perhaps, more than wanting to clear her late husband's name, her true motivation is trying to uncover, through the results of the grand project tied to the Y-Data, just what it was Joachim had been trying to accomplish. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, C.A.T. Testing Ground, Galaxy Federation, Contact Subcommittee, Zohar Project, Y-Data, MOMO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB090)-Joachim Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Genius scientist who founded the U-TIC Organization and established Hilbert theory. The results he left the Federation are immeasurable, including D.S.S.S. and the 100-Series system, the development of high-efficiency nanomachines, written works on Realian technology, and the fundamental research concerning the Gnosis phenomenon. Joachim, who had been born on Abraxas, founded the U-TIC Organization after being contacted by the secret society Ormus. He was subsequently engaged in the reconstruction of the Song of Nephilim, known as the invention of madness, and the development of Proto Merkabah and the 100-Series Observational Units. At the time of the Federation'S third descent operation on Miltia, Joachim forced the Song of Nephilim into overload. He cut the connection between Miltia and its surroundings and the U.M.N. in order to contain the expansion of the sudden Gnosis phenomenon and the Zohar, the cause of the conflict, to Miltian space. Though he was supposedly a madman, had Joachim not contained things in this way, the Gnosis phenomenon would have likely spread at an accelerated pace and have reached all regions of the galaxy much earlier. --Link: 100-Series Observational Unit, Realian, D.S.S.S., Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Gnosis, Proto Merkabah, Song of Nephilim >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB091)-Lactis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Early-era Realian posted as a test model to the Federation Police 1875th Special Ops Command. Built to look like a human youth. He specialized in collecting and analyzing data for the U.M.N.; his responsibilities as a special forces member focused on those strengths. Furthermore, Lactis was one of the early-era Realians that had been installed with Program Canaan. Although the true purpose of Program Canaan is unknown, it appears to have been a system thought up by Wilhelm as a way to detect people with a special "trait" which would allow them to become a Testament. As a result of Project Canaan's top secret development within Vector, even its development process is unknown; absolutely no materials remain concerning it. Because the Program is built into the base system within the brain stem at the construction phase, even the Realian in question is unaware of its presence. It can be deduced that Lactis himself was unaware of the fact that he carried Program Canaan within his body. --Link: Wilhelm, Realian, 1875th Special Ops Command, Testament, Program Canaan, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB092)-Lapis Roman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Member of the Galaxy Federation Special Ops Command Intelligence Bureau. Her rank is captain. A subordinate of Second Miltian Representative Helmer, she has been working for several years on an undercover investigation into the activities of U-TIC Organization operatives within the ranks of the Federation forces. When Second Miltia and the Kukai Foundation fell under suspicion, she offered her support and cooperation to Shion and the others, not as a Galaxy Federation captain, but as a loyal subordinate of Helmer. As Jr. puts it, she's "pretty cool." --Link: Helmer, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB093)-Richard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Inquisitor of the secret society Ormus under the authority of Chief Inquisitor Margulis. Master of the rapier. Member of an old family with roots that can be traced back to the Immigrant Fleet. His older sister and parents died in an accident in his early childhood; as a result, he became the young master of the house. Hermann's family has served his family as personal retainers for generations. His eccentric, almost split personality seems to have been brought on by witnessing his sister's death. --Link: Hermann, Margulis, Immigrant Fleet, Ormus, Inquistiors >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB094)-Luis Virgil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Former lieutenant in the Galaxy Federation Navy. Following the disappearance of planet Ariadne, he was a member of the investigative force aboard the cruiser Woglinde. He was a top-class A.G.W.S. pilot. He was fatally shot by KOS-MOS during the Gnosis attack on the Woglinde. A vicious-looking man, the skin all over his body was cracked and splintered as a result of DME addiction. He showed a prejudicial and cruel attitude towards Realians which bordered on outright enmity. While it is unknown exactly what brought on this hatred for Realians, it seems to be the result of an event which took place 15 years ago when he was a soldier during the second and third Miltian descent operations. It is thought that he shared some contact at that time with Febronia--the Realian who sent Shion a message in the encephalon. He later appeared as a Testament, a member of Wilhelm's vanguard force. His attempts to contact Shion even after he became a Testament appeared to be motivated more by his own past than the result of Wilhelm's orders. --Link: Wilhelm, Febronia, DME Addiction, Realian, Disappearance of Planet Ariadne, Testament >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB095)-Luty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Girl from Ariadne, which underwent Gnosis transformation and disappeared. She was the daughter of the CEO of the Green Plant Company, the center of the artificial plant industry, which was headquartered on Ariadne. Perhaps due to the content of her father's work, she loved plants; particularly a company original, the Ariadne Flower. A space-time anomaly erupted as the result of a string of experiments on the Zohar that had been secretly conducted at a U-TIC Organization research facility on planet Ariadne. Though her life was spared, her father happened to notice the changes affecting the planet. He then ordered an evacuation of his employees and family. The shock of the planet's disappearance led her to develop aphasia. After seeing the Ariadne Flower, grown from the seed Shion and the others retrieved from the giant Gnosis, she regained her faculty of speech. he is receiving treatment at a medical facility on Second Miltia. --Link: Planet Ariadne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB096)-Rubedo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> URTV unit number 666, Jr.'s name during his time with the URTVs. Named for the alchemical process of reddening. The name Rubedo was given to him by Dmitri Yuriev in order to aid his self-awareness; Rubedo, unlike most URTVs, was a variant with a distinct personality. Because of this, Jr. hates being addressed by this name. --Link: Jr., Dmitri Yuriev, URTV, URTV Unit Number 666, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB097)-Roth Mantel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He designed and developed T-elos and participated in the Zohar Project, run by Dmitri Yuriev, as a special technological assistant. His true identity is the Red Testament; he changed his appearance in order to monitor Shion and the others. Shion's quitting, the development of T-elos, and the abandonment of KOS-MOS were all a part of his plan. --Link: KOS-MOS, T-elos, Zohar Project, Testament [Red] ==================================================== [B032] Cultural ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB098)-Android >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Androids refer to humanoid robots or artificial humans. The were many references to them in science fiction novels during the times of Lost Jerusalem. KOS-MOS, developed by Vector Industries, is an anti-Gnosis weapon in the form of a female and exemplifies an android. There are some who believe that an android like KOS-MOS is anachronistic in a time when Realians are the norm. Although the technology to develop KOS-MOS is ancient, her specs far surpass those of Realians and both could be considered androids since they are both artificial. --Link: KOS-MOS, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB099)-Überhumans >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Humans who had artificial modifications made to their bodies and brains during the heyday of the Life Recycling Law, giving them certain types of special abilities, as are the offspring of these individuals, are called mutants. Andrew, Shelley, and Mary are a few mutants. Their outward appearance does not differ from that of humans in any way. At present, discrimination against mutants is strictly prohibited by Federation law. In reality, however, discrimination and prejudice is still rampant in all corners of the galaxy. The Kukai Foundation protects victims of the Life Recycling Law and provides them with a place to live. --Link: Life Recycling Law, Kukai Foundation, Andrew Cherenkov, Shelley Godwin, Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB100)-Imaginary Pocket >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> While not quite literally an "imaginary pocket," this term is used here to refer to the space-time cleft between imaginary space and real space. It is the location where the Elsa was trapped along with Rennes-le-Château when they were caught up in a space-time transfer. The pocket gradually grows smaller, eventually being converted to imaginary space that is immune to interference from real space. --Link: Rennes-le-Château, Imaginary Space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB101)-Interconnection >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the technology used to dive into KOS-MOS's main frame and refers to the establishment of a non-local connection by mutual interaction. This method frees data transference from the limitations of physics, and allows an instantaneous exchange of data across distances millions of light-years apart. Theoretically, the exchange will occur without any lag in time. --Link: Dive >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB102)-Interlink >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An implanted control device that allows two individuals to communicate. The data sent and received is based on memory, but both the superficial and deep psyche may have an effect. It is also possible to connect a computer to the implanted jack and store the data as short term memory and send it to another individual by the interlink. This allows data that are difficult to carry out to be shared as transferred memories. It is important to keep in mind that an interlink connects memories and since memories are relatively easy to change, it is difficult to share long-term memories with accurate information. Also, the Species Preservation Act makes it illegal to implant devices and jacks into human beings. Shelley and Mary are connected by interlinks, but they are victims of the Life Recycling Act. --Link: Shelley Godwin, Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB103)-Ethelle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ethelle is a term used for the general public who do not work on any fields that are related to the government, army or any corporations. The are unable to receive incentives and qualifications like Camelles with their employment. Most citizens in the Galaxy Federation are Ethelles. --Link: Camelle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB104)-Environmental Bug >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Developed by Professor Joachim Mizrahi, they are nanomachines that purify and maintain the quality of air in enclosed areas. They slowly float through the air and congregate in dark areas while emitting light, giving them the appearance of fireflies. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB105)-Encephalon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An extremely realistic virtual space that can be created using U.M.N. location data, the uploaded recorded memories, and activities of individuals stored in the U.M.N.. The time and the place can be recreated as long as the data is available. Encephalon dive is the process of entering the virtual space constructed by the Encephalon. Unvisited areas within the Encephalon can be explored because the U.M.N. data supplements information missing from the divers memory. However, the Encephalon is still and unstable, memory-dependent space. For this reason, divers' memories that share a time and place have been known to resonate and unintentionally replay. The word Encephalon comes from the Greek word "brain." --Link: U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB106)-Carnegie Structure Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Basic theory that systemized the method to construct a virtual space within the U.M.N.. Conceived by the mathematician Carnegie who was the head of Vector Industries Administration and Operations at the beginning of 4400 T.C.. After its formulation, all virtual spaces were constructed based on this structure law except under special cases. Many believe that this theory advanced the research on virtual space by a century. The structure law was named after Carnegie to honor his achievement. However, detail on how he reached this theory were never disclosed. There are rumors that the theory was completed with help from leaders of Vector, but the truth is shrouded in mysteries. --Link: U.M.N., Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB107)-Camelle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Camelle is a term used for those who work for Galaxy Federation Government, the military, and corporations such as Vector Industries and the Kukai Foundation. Camelles work various jobs and many of the main players in the story, including Shion, are Camelles. They are able to receive incentives and qualifications based on the number of years they have contributed to society. These incentives vary from retirement packages, pensions, an rights to genetic transformations. Allen's plan was to retire after working eleven years as a Camelle and buy a lodge in some isolated area and fish everyday for the rest of his life. --Link: Vector Industries, Kukai Foundation, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB108)-Curry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The four basic curry spices are cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper. One can create a truly delicious curry dish by adding garam masala--a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Shion's single-minded passion for curry is unique. At one time, it seems that she preferred to choose only the most essential spices from the plethora available to create her own blend, as well as to sauté the onion and garlic well during preparation. These techniques find their roots from the curry at the Moby Dick's Café, which Shion frequented in her high school days. Even out of Shion's many original recipes, her mellow, English-style curry, with fruit added as a secret ingredient, was once her crowning achievement. But Jin liked his curry spicy and could hardly bear his sister's creation. It's said that the two argued incessantly whenever curry appeared on the dinner table at home. --Link: Moby Dick's Café, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB109)-Curry Gruel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An easy-to-eat meal prepared by a concerned Allen for Shion when she fell ill. This rice gruel uses Shion's homemade curry as its soup base and has been prepared with plenty of Allen's tender affection, but its flavor cannot be guaranteed. --Link: Curry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB110)-Enhanced Memory Model >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This type of Realian is enhanced with a thousand times more information recording devices than a regular model for specialization in memory and storing recorded data. The amount of space even allows the model to backup its own memory and recorded data. It also has enhanced information access speed and protection against loss of information versus the regular model. Canaan is this type of Realian. He has undergone further enhancement by Vector with the addition of E.S. pilot abilities. --Link: Canaan, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB111)-Federation Emergency Powers Act >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This charter was established the year after the establishment of the Galaxy Federation government. Ordinarily, it is considered a violation of federation law for anyone, even the Federation Fleet, to engage in military operations within the territory of an autonomous state, without prior notification and consent of the state government. However, this charter allows for exemptions from such laws during certain states of emergency such as an act of treason by use of military force against the Galaxy Federation. Also, if there is a request of relief from the federation government to the government of outlying autonomous states during a deployment of the fleet while executing the Federation Emergency Powers Act, the autonomous governments must comply with the request swiftly. --Link: Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB112)-Klein Point >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The contact point between imaginary space and real space. Gnosis appearances and attacks take place from these points. Its estimated location can be confirmed using D.S.S.S.; before the development of the Hilbert Effect, this was the only part of Gnosis that could be attacked. In the story, Juli fired KOS-KOS's phase transfer cannon into this contact point and caused a crack to open into imaginary space in an attempt to rescue the Elsa. --Link: D.S.S.S., Imaginary Space, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB113)-Cage Partition >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Various data are stored in the main database of cybernetic media in androids such as KOS-MOS and the artificial pseudo brains of Realians that define their existence. Cage partition refers to the storage space where such data reside. --Link: Android, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB114)-Gate Out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refers to the process of ships and other vehicles moving out of hyperspace to normal space by using the U.M.N..

The process is usually possible only within valid range of the U.M.N. Transfer Column. Gnosis and the E.S. Dinah are able to interact with hyperspace outside the valid range of the column. --Link: Hyperspace, U.M.N., U.M.N. Transfer Column >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB116)-Species Preservation Act >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> With the passage of the Life Recycling Law, people pursued their ideals and desires. They came to ignore the basic nature of genes: to add diversity in the various species. A group consisting only of species that have adapted to only one environment is a group with the same inherent weakness. Hence they are in danger of extinction from even the smallest changes in their environment. The Species Preservation Act was established to counteract the effects of the Life Recycling Law. It was used to revitalize and correct the track of the human race, who had become too vulnerable biologically. The goal of the act is to reexamine the transmission of genes based on the laws of nature, and to fix the genetic flaws caused by life recycling. Currently, the Galaxy Species Preservation Act Support Foundation G.P.S., is headquartered in the Kukai Foundation. They work to abolish genetic transformation and cloning, which are still prevalent among the upper classes and support victims of the Life Recycling Law. --Link: Life Recycling Law, Kukai Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB117)-Trade Column >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There are various types of columns (entrances and exits to hyperspace), depending on their usage. Trade columns are mostly used as a route by cargo and passenger vessels. It has high flow of traffic and was the main reason Ziggy selected to navigate through this column when he was escorting MOMO so that he could lose the tracking system from enemy transports. --Link: Hyperspace >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB118)-Connection Gear >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A PDA that is also used for communications. It is a mobile unit regularly used by Shion. When activated, a holographic monitor and keyboard appear. Its capabilities can be further expanded via downloads of various plug-ins. Though it is an excellent machine, it is not wide-spread among the people because of its cost, usage of the military's dedicated line, and the fact that its functions far surpass general needs. U.N.P. is more commonly used. --Link: UNP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB119)-Commercial Model >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Firearms can be divided into three main categories: commercial models, law enforcement models, and those developed for the militaries. Although all three specs are relatively similar, the commercial model is targeted for general consumers and allows disabling of the full auto switch and has a limited number of rounds in the cartridge. One of the operators in the story suspected that Vector intended to create deployment experiments of the android KOS-MOS in the military and use them as advertising for a commercial model. --Link: KOS-MOS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB120)-Recycler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refers to individuals who collect vessels shipwrecked in space (whether due to accidents or Gnosis attacks) and illegally dumped objects, and who make a living selling them to brokers, either as is or after making some repairs. The law varies according to each autonomous state, but this activity is basically illegal and carries penalties such as one year of hard labor and a maximum fine of 300,000G. The reclamation and black-market sale of military goods in particular is prohibited by Federation law, and the penalties for doing so are far greater than those set by any autonomous state. However, Matthews has a side job as a recycler in an attempt to pay off his debts. Still, as such activity does violate the law and being involved in a crime would harm the reputation of the Foundation, Gaignun has warned Matthews and his crew to abandon the recycler life. --Link: Matthews, Autonomous State >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB121)-Cybernetic Engineering >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A generic term for engineering technology that integrates the human body and mechanical engineering. Synonymous with cyborg technology. --Link: Cyborg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB122)-Cyborg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An obsolete technology, once popular in the age of the Life Recycling Law. Bodies of donors were revived and retained as weapons of the Galaxy Federation Government as Cyborgs. Ziggy was one such human who, as a registered donor, was revived and turned to a battle Cyborg after his death. Donors who were affiliated with special forces or the military were assigned to similar duties after their revival, but donors without such background were at times assigned to harsh manual labor or dangerous terraforming activities. Some were even assigned as housekeepers. Many cyborgs were superior to humans in abilities, but were stripped of their rights and placed in a very low social position. Because of these issues, the number of aspiring cyborg donors gradually decreased, and the Galaxy Federation adopted a negative stance toward cyborg donation. Presently, the Life Recycling Law has become osolete with the introduction of Realians, which are far superior to Cyborgs in performance. Note that individuals who have undergone a cyborg operation to repair and enhance flesh-and-blood bodies after damage received from accidents or some functional failure are not the same as donated cyborgs. --Link: Ziggy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB123)-Salvator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The children of the Messiah--Designer Children. Like Jr. and Dmitri Yuriev, these are humans who underwent genetic modification during their developmental phase. Ongoing research and development is part of a measure to prevent the Immigrant Fleet from using a part of the Zohar's abilities. The Life Recycling Law passed in T.C. 4591 is said to have been a shield allowing for the birth of more Salvators. The Yuriev Institute had been controlling research efforts. --Link: Jr., Dmitri Yuriev, Life Recycling Law, Yuriev Institute >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB124)-Geocrystal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A naturally occurring crystalline mineral that was abundant in Lost Jerusalem. Although it is clear and colorless, it emits a glow of rainbow colors. Even a small amount of the substance, if in its purest form, can be sold for a small fortune--more than enough to repay all of Matthews's debts. --Link: Lost Jerusalem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB125)-Geodesic Structure >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Geodesic construction was invented by American architect Buckminster Fuller. It is a method of building domes wherein regular icosahedrons approximating spheres are overlaid with a network of many equilateral triangles. To visually represent the basic makeup of the super-structure U.M.N., it is often referred to as a geodesic dome--hence the term. --Link: U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB126)-DIG-ß (Beta) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An abbreviation of Digitalis Beta, and read as "Dig-Beta." A plant of the genus Digitalis which is native to southern Europe. Although its leaves can be dried and used as a potent cardiotonic, it is also extremely poisonous. Ingested in quantities above a safe dosage, it can induce a coma. Lieutenant Commander Andrew ordered his subordinates to inject Dig-Beta during their escape from the Woglinde while under Gnosis attack. His aim was to induce the coma effect for a short while in order to hide their life signs from the Gnosis. --Link: Andrew Cherenkov >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB127)-Auto-Mode >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refers to a mode wherein the unit operates autonomously. Because KOS-MOS is currently running in Auto-Mode, she uses her own judgement to process and act upon the various data entering the mainframe's sensors. Ever since the incident when the Archetype went out of control, Auto-Mode was supposed to have been sealed. However, when the cruiser Woglinde was attacked by Gnosis, KOS-MOS began to run in Auto-Mode without the startup code, rescuing the imperiled Shion. --Link: KOS-MOS, KOS-MOS [Archetype] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB128)-Seraphim Sisters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Consisting of Julia and Chloe, both from Keltia, this vocal duo was all the rage after scoring a sensational galaxy-wide hit in T.C. 4766 with their debut single, "A Curse of Love." Their gratuitously high-tension vocals, voluptuous and energetic dancing, and extreme, scandalous private lives have captivated men everywhere. Using a U.M.N. channel to attend a Seraphim Sisters concert is a sacrilege amongst their most devoted fans. Captain Matthews, one of their zealous devotees, claims the experience has no meaning unless you step into the concert hall, burn the singing and dancing duo onto your retinas, and feel the concert's very presence with your own skin. --Link: Matthews, Planet Keltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB129)-Safe House >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Safe houses are rooms or buildings for resistance-type groups to lay low, keep watch, and bide their time. In emergencies, they can serve as evacuation shelters. It is for this reason that they are equipped with a variety of goods suitable for a number of developing tactics or situations. Apart from weapons and food supplies, the V.L.V. safe house is fitted with a machine with space surpassing those of similar devices used by the Federation government. The resistance is now stepping up its anti-U.M.N. activities, including hacking unto the Galaxy Federation and Vector's classified domains in order to wreak havoc on the U.M.N.. Naturally, such acts are performed behind closed doors, and members are always warned to keep the safe house's location highly confidential. --Link: U.M.N., V.L.V. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB130)-Absolute Standard Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Standardized time as decreed by the Galaxy Federation and used in the Federation capital, Fifth Jerusalem. The original standard had been Lost Jerusalem time, with a day divided into 24 hours. It is customary to choose a planet similar to Lost Jerusalem to be home to the Federation capital; consequently, the same concept of time is carried over as well. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB131)-Absolute Coordinates >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Signifies that any given coordinates remain the same from any perspective. Absolute coordinates are used when transferring ships to describe the placement and location of things like planets in areas of the galaxy lacking definitive landmarks. In the game, the U-TIC Organization's deception that made it appear that the Durandal attacked the Woglinde was based on the fact that the Woglinde's distress coordinates at the time were the same as the Durandal's engagement coordinates. In fact, the Durandal, which had come to scan the Woglinde, had been battling the U-TIC Organization's 474th Special Operations Fleet. As the U-TIC Organization recorded the skirmish, the image of the fighting Durandal was combined with that of the sunken Woglinde. The Woglinde was believed to have had no survivors, with the only proof lying in its absolute coordinates. --Link: Durandal, Woglinde, U-TIC Organization, 474th Spec Ops Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB132)-Postwar Reparations >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A compensation system established after the Miltian Conflict that occurred 15 years ago. After the conflict, autonomous states and regions of space that had been heavily damaged, including Second Miltia, were given various vested interests and special extralegal rights. Thanks to this post-conflict compensation, Second Miltia was able to join forces with the Kukai Foundation and earned the right to retain the Zohar Emulators. However, many regions fell outside the scope of this plan, and rifts have formed between regions of space and autonomous states over the issue of compensation. --Link: Miltian Conflict, Second Miltia, Kukai Foundation, Autonomous State, Zohar Emulator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB133)-Device Activator Syringe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A syringe is a type of medical device used for administering injections or cleaning wounds. in the story, a syringe is used to inject MOMO with a device activator when she stops functioning. A device activator is a chemical that activates nanomachines within the body. Since Juli performed cardiac massage immediately after administering the chemical, it is believed she was attempting to restart MOMO's cardiopulmonary functions. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB134)-Level 7 Personality Reconditioning >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A treatment given to individuals who have committed a crime as a result of personality irregularities. Nanomachines are implanted into the patient's brain, regulating their thoughts and actions. The treatment has nine levels which run the gamut from comparatively light control of the brain's neurotransmitter secretions, to complete personality loss, achieved by overwriting data in the cerebral neocortex, and followed by the creation of an entirely new personality within the brain. Rarely, some people's personalities cannot be corrected. In those cases, the subject will undergo increasingly powerful treatments until personality correction can be verified. Andrew, a Life Recycling variant, underwent Level 7 and 8 personality reconditioning, but neither was effective. His destructive actions toward anyone who dared oppose him grew steadily worse. Occasionally, a sort of mark appears on his forehead; this phenomenon occurs when the implanted nanomachines become activated. In other words, it is a sign that the nanomachines are working vigorously within Andrew's brain in an attempt to keep his destructive behavior in check. In the story, the reconditioning facility staff recommends Andrew for Level 9 treatment, indicating that the commander is a very rare case indeed. --Link: Andrew Cherenkov, Life Recycling Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB135)-Diving Device >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A device that connects a user's consciousness to virtual space constructed within the U.M.N.. The come in many configurations, from head-mounted type to bed type, for various applications. Still, all models share the same basic functionality: mental-state monitoring and connection. The more compact models are portable, making it possible to dive at any given moment--provided that one can connect to the U.M.N.. However, monitoring accuracy can be fairly low, and actions within imaginary space may be limited. On the other hand, larger models boast high accuracy and a more stable virtual-space experience. However, the devices themselves are immense--and their price tags equally so. --Link: U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB136)-Dive >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Describes the act of accessing virtual space or another person's mental world via the U.M.N.. If entering the Encephalon, the full term is "Encephalon dive," but this is generally shortened to simply "dive." --Link: Encephalon, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB137)-Dive Pod >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chiefly used to denote a capsule-shaped device used for Encephalon diving via interconnection. Simple devices such as dive seats and goggle-mounted systems offer the same capability. In the story, these are used when conducting URTV link experiments. --Link: Interconnection, Encephalon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB138)-Dive Unit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Equipment used when connecting to the U.M.N.; the type and size vary according to the connection depth. As most connections are shallow, goggle-type units are in widespread use. In the story, Shion and the crew used simple goggle-type devices, but since they were being used along with the Elsa's commercial-use customized module acting as a support system, the team was able to access KOS-MOS's dataspace. This special module had been set up by Matthews to better experience a Seraphim Sisters concert via the U.M.N.--despite his claims that nothing compares to the attending a concert in person. Today's audiophiles will pay vast sums of money for equipment that brings the sound even a shade closer to the real thing. --Link: U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB139)-Direct Approach >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This describes the act of breaking the link between two parties via Virtual Seat VR-2000 and directly transferring a consciousness into a target Encephalon. This is commonly called a dive, for short. However, directly intruding in another person's consciousness is a high-risk proposition. The memories of a person with whom a past time and place were shared may resonate, and there is always the danger that one's sense of self-versus-other will become lost and that the border between the real world and the imaginary one will blur. --Link: Encephalon, Dive >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB140)-Dummy Protocol >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A network protocol used to connect the perspective of KOS-MOS to that of its operator via the virtual seat VR-2000. Since KOS-MOS is a standalone unit and does not require external feed, this protocol is used only while KOS-MOS is inactive. --Link: KOS-MOS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB141)-Central Computer Pieta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name of the motherframe installed in the Durandal. Jr. has affectionately nicknamed it "Momma." "Pieta" refers to any artwork depicting the Virgin Mary mourning over the dead body of Christ. --Link: Durandal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB142)-Abstract Cognitive Function >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This function takes visually received data, processes it through circuits to "understand" it, then causes it to be reflected in its host's consciousness. Humanoid Realians and androids are fitted with this function along with artificial personalities. This function is included because some recognition tasks cannot be performed without the capacity for feeling and thought; the function is necessary to ensue smooth communication with other entities. --Link: Android, Realian, Artificial Personality Layer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB143)-Central Nervous System Disorder >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An affliction where the circuitry that perceives the outside world and demonstrates one's inner feelings is fragmented, making one unable to express emotions or speak. Thanks to the prevalence of the U.M.N., memories are now able to be shared as data; by overreacting to the emotions and memories recorded there, one loses the ability to express one's own feelings. Sakura suffered from this disease since birth, but it has also been known to develop spontaneously following excessive U.M.N. access. It is certainly no exaggeration to say that the true consciousness of the victims of this disorder are floating through the cleft between the real world and imaginary space, that is, within the U.M.N.. -Link: U.M.N., Imaginary Space, Sakura Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB144)-Ultra-Wide Range Hilbert >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KOS-MOS has an effective radius of about 300,000 kilometers within which she can use the Hilbert Effect. She can also deploy it over a super-wide area, should the situation call for it. Normally, even when using a system with an amplifier, the area maxes out at only a 100 kilometer radius; KOS-MOS, however, can far surpass that limit, unleashing the Hilbert Effect over a radius of several hundred astronomical units. --Link: KOS-MOS, Hilbert Effect >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB145)-Maintenance Box >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A containment device that carries out maintenance on androids, Realians, and cyborgs, as well as performs operational checks when they fail to start up. Service modules with nanotherapy functions can be used by humans as well as cyborgs, and are useful for treating all sorts of maladies and injuries. KOS-MOS's exclusive service module is elongated and painted black. It features a restraint (called a "binding") along with movement capability. "Iron Maiden KOS-MOS" is engraved on its hatch. --Link: Android, Cyborg, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB146)-DME Addiction >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When a human consumes Realian tissue (especially that of the central nervous system), it enters the bloodstream and is conveyed to the brain, altering his or her neural structure. Outward signs of addiction include keratinization and hardening of the skin. These symptoms have been observed in Lieutenant Virgil. The compromising of the central nervous structures alters the addict's mental and physical states; in some cases, death can occur. After the changes have been made, the addict must continue to consume Realian tissue to stave off the withdrawal symptoms, necessitating a pharmacological intervention. At present, there is no complete cure. In regions not under Federation control, Realian tissue is being trafficked as a new kind of narcotic, fetching high prices. --Link: Realian, Luis Virgil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB147)-Disconnect >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refers to the act of physically breaking one's connection to the Encephalon within the U.M.N. when trouble arises during the session. Although it depends on the connection system, in most cases the subject will suffer significant physical damage; in the worst case, his or her brain may even become impaired. For this reason, disconnects are usually prohibited. --Link: Encephalon, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB148)-Transfer Wave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The U-TIC Organization autonomous fighter units, Auto-TECHs, can gate jump independently, and their rear containers hold approximately 10 compact battle terminals. By emitting a signal to designate transfer coordinates at the target location, the Auto-Tech unit can, within a limited area, rapidly transfer battle terminals one after another. --Link: Auto-Tech >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB149)-Transfer System >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Transport technology that uses gate jump technology with the U.M.N. to transfer goods to remote locations. Because KOS-MOS's weapon system includes this capability, she doesn't need to lug around oversized weapons--they can simply be transported from the storage facility as needed. However, only goods with static data can be directly transferred. Theoretically, life forms with fluctuating data can be transferred directly, but it is more or less impossible given the major mental and physical difficulties that can arise. To transfer living things, one must use a spaceship equipped with the appropriate system. --Link: KOS-MOS, Gate Jump, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB150)-Transgenic Type >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A next-generation Realian model researched and developed by Joachim Mizrahi, featuring an even more human-like structure. First came Febronia; the Cecilia, Catherine, and Almadel, who were built from Febronia's test data. Research and development of battle models took place, as well. Joachim Mizrahi also used transgenic-type data when working to create the 100-Series Observational Unit. Public records indicate that all experimental data was lost during the Miltian Conflict. --Link: Catherine, Cecilia, Febronia, Joachim Mizrahi, 100-Series Observational Unit, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB151)-NATARAJA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Formally known as NATARAJA, this connection system was designed by Kevin and implements a direct approach. In the story, when Shion uses a direct approach for KOS-MOS's mainframe, this system is booted up. "Nataraja" is another name for Shiva, one of Hinduism's chief deities. While worshipped as the lord of dancing, he is also a fearsome god of destruction and creation. It is unclear why Kevin bestowed this system with one of Shiva's names. --Link: Direct Approach, Kevin Winniot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB152)-Neural Monitoring >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Before a connection can be made with certain areas accessed via the U.M.N., a user's psyche must by synchronized with the area. An operator can make a connection if the monitored user's mental wavelengths are synchronized with the desired area. If the wavelengths are not synchronized, then the operator can send sympathetic wavelengths to the user in an attempt to synchronize them. --Link: U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB153)-Nexus 6 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ziggy, formerly known as Jan Sauer, sent this synthetic dog to his son Joaquin soon after becoming his new father. Nexus is the name of the company that manufactures synthetic animals, and the dog's serial number is D-PA1279094 NEXUS v.06. At the time,purebred dogs were prohibitively expensive and could not be easily purchased, so synthetic versions were more commonplace. It seems Ziggy named the dog "Nexus 6" after its model number, but since that sounds like a robot name, Joaquin shortened it to Nex. --Link: Ziggy, Nexus, Joaquin Rozas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB154)-Heat Death >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Describes the death of the universe, as drawn from the Second Law of Thermodynamics and its assertion that as entropy increases, the quantity of heat reaches zero, and all matter becomes nothing. In the story, Helmer used this concept to express the idea that, if humans ceased living as human beings, all that would await them would be the death of the universe, in which everything becomes nothing. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB155)-Hyperspace >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Spaceships pass through hyperspace, which resembles a glittering tube in shape and aspect, when performing a gate jump. If matter touches the boundaries of hyperspace (i.e. the tube's inner walls) a gigantic quantity of heat will be released, and the matter will disintegrate into subatomic particles. As radioactivity is also abundantly present, it is dangerous to perform research and analysis within hyperspace itself, and many mysteries are still left unsolved. --Link: Gate Jump >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB156)-Paradigm Contamination >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A paradigm is the dominating rule governing how things are viewed and perceived in a given age and field. When a paradigm changes discontinuously, it is called a "paradigm shift." In the story, the term is used to refer to the desperate circumstance when a computer'S mainframe of OS has been hacked or otherwise invaded. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB157)-100-Series Observational Unit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anti-Gnosis observational Realians equipped with the 100-Series system, which combines D.S.S.S. and the Hilbert Effect. They are young-looking Realians designed by the late Professor Joachim Mizrahi and based on the MOMO prototype. They were mass-produced by the Contact Subcommittee, a governmental institution of the Galaxy Federation. In the process of developing his MOMO prototype, Professor Mizrahi manufactured a large number of data-collection test beds called Kirschwasser. MOMO was the 100th model produced. At present, the 100-Series system requires several dozen tons of system capacity; theory holds that it cannot be miniaturized to human dimensions. The 100-Series System, as used by the Galaxy Federation Army, consists of the Main Unit (a mainframe-like device measuring 10 cubic meters) and a production model 100-Series Realian used as a personal device. Because the 100-Series system has similar specs to those with which KOS-MOS has been equipped, it is possible there is some sort of connection between them. As part of the late Professor Joachim Mizrahi's design concept, 100-Series Observational Units resemble young children completely. It is said that, when the Contact Subcommittee took over development after Joachim's death, they carried over the external features to ensure that all of the systems were working properly. Since it was impossible to reconstruct the systems that had been tuned for the youthful bodies, it is more likely that they simply went into mass production as is. --Link: Kirschwasser, KOS-MOS, MOMO, Joachim Mizrahi, 100-Series Realian, Hilbert Effect, Realian, D.S.S.S., Galaxy Federation, Contact Subcommittee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB158)-100-Series Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A 100-Series Observational Realian developed for anti-Gnosis purposes. See the entry on 100-Series Observational Units --Link: 100-Series Observational Unit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB159)-Hilbert Effect >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A limited perception field generation system developed as a method of reaching out from real space to interact with the Gnosis, which exist in imaginary space. It makes interaction by real-world humans possible by translating imaginary-space pulsations into a "common language" and intentionally expanding the accessible area of imaginary space (normally Planck-scale sized). This also allows the use of everyday weapons against Gnosis, who ignore the laws of physics. Usually, KOS_MOS can create a field of about 300,000 kilometers, but when using all her power, that field can expand to several million astronomical units. MOMO and 100-Series Observational Units can create a field with a range up to 100 kilometers using a special large-scale amplifier; without this device , however, they are limited to only a few hundred meters. --Link: KOS-MOS, MOMO, Amplifier, Imaginary Space, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB160)-Primer Walking >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Detecting and capturing the remaining traces of energy being transmitted by the Zohar, thus extrapolating its position. Generally used to mean utilizing sequence information taken from DNA and analyzing the downstream sequences to determine the entire base sequence. --Link: Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB161)-Brainjack >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Those well versed in the U.M.N. and virtual space can follow the access logs of someone who has dived into virtual space and tap into his or her brain. Brainjacking is usually only done by malicious humans, and their victims generally die from the destruction of their emotional and mental circuits. Even if they do manage to survive, their brains, emotions, and psyche will bear deep and lasting scars, making it impossible for them to return to life as usual. When brainjacking is necessary during a criminal investigation in virtual space, it can be performed with permission from Federal Police higher-ups. However, the Galaxy Federation considers such actions to be highly confidential; not only does the average citizen not know about them, but most departments within the Federation Police are left in the dark as well. --Link: Dive, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB162)-Procurator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Describes an A.I. that serves to extract user-requested data from the immense network known as the U.M.N.. Data is managed by various A.I.s within the U.M.N., and procurators access these A.I.s on the user's behalf. This allows the user to efficiently retrieve the information he or she is seeking. Procurators primarily take voice commands; keyboard commands are required when more precise settings are called for. Compact procurators also run on connection gears and other mobile devices. Shion uses Bunnie, a procurator she made herself. --Link: Bunnie, Connection Gear, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB163)-Proprietary >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Refers to technology and information monopolized by a certain company. In the story, data concerning T-elos's development is under the jurisdiction of the Federation Army; as it was all monopolized by Roth Mantel, even Vector's Development Division was unable to gain inside access. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB164)-Divide and Rule Measure >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A plan to subject the planet Abraxas to a divide-and-rule system at the hands of the Galaxy Federation and the Immigrant Fleet nation. The Immigrant Fleet appeared in the Michtam system in the T.C. 4500's and claimed sovereignty over the planet Abraxas, their Holy Land. A protracted conflict between the two groups started in the Michtam system not long after; in the T.C. 4600's, the territorial rights went to the Immigrant Fleet. However, when the moderate Julius XVIII was installed as the Immigrant Fleet's Patriarch, the Immigrant Fleet began to accept the solution of a divide-and-rule system for Abraxas. Even though the difference in their tactical prowess means the Galaxy Federation should have a formidable advantage, Federation leaders know that pressure has not gotten them far with the Immigrant Fleet, and thy are recommending this alternative as well. A movement to convert the planet Abraxas over to a full divide-and-rule system was first seen at the Pilgrimage Meeting in T.C. 4667. --Link: Julius XVIII, Planet Abraxas, Immigrant Fleet, Galaxy Federation, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB165)-Holographic Network >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The neural network that makes it possible to view the data recorded within Realians and androids as video in the real world. The analysis of the Y-Data MOMO kept hidden passed through this network. --Link: Android, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB166)-Holographic Mail Terminal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A device that permits the sending and receiving of three-dimensional holograms over a network. The terminal's role is to take in the subject's information and voice from the sender's side then send it to a central computer. The central computer converts the terminal's data into video and audio, then passes it on to the recipient's computer. The terminal's function is simply to send data and to pass along the fact that the central computer has received the data; data receipt and access occur at the central computer itself. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB167)-University of Bormeo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the top educational institutions in the Galaxy Federation, the University of Bormeo has a long history, being, as it is, the first university constructed by humans in space. Despite this, its academic level and facilities are the most modern around; many aspire to attend, but it is extremely difficult to make the rolls. It has departments in both the humanities and the sciences, but about 70 percent of its curriculum lies in the departments of science and engineering, which are further divided into even more specialities. Chief disciplines include material application engineering, planetary science, mechanical systems engineering, and so on. With its Gothic architecture, one would never expect this university to be at the center of science and engineering. Many Vector employees are University of Bormeo graduates, including Allen and Kevin. The Professor at the helm of the Robot Academy on the Kukai Foundation, his friend the Other Professor, and the Professor's rival the Dark Professor also graduated from this institution. --Link: Professor, Other Professor, Dark Professor, Allen Ridgeley, Kevin Winnicot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB168)-Mass Driver >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A launch system that uses magnetism to accelerate high-mass objects, instead of relying on propellants. Most often used for turning out large spaceships and construction of orbital elevators and space colonies. In the story, a lone boy uses a Mass Driver, at the spaceport on planet Michtam, to escape. --Link: Planet Michtam, Archon Spaceport >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB169)-Miltia Charter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A charter established by the Federation government to prevent incidents like the Miltian Conflict, which broke out 15 years ago, from ever recurring. Of note in the Miltian Charter is Article Four, which speaks to the social standing of Realians, and was enacted because of the outbreak of Realian violence during the Miltian Conflict. Because of the outbreak of Realian violence, the number of human victims declined. The Federation government declared, "Realians also feel stress, which gave rise to the outbreak of violence," thus stipulating "human" rights to Realians. However, even though their basic rights had been affirmed, Vector, the Realians' manufacturer, did not remove their control devices, which contain a self-destruct code. The Charter can therefore also be viewed as written permission to use said devices. --Link: Realian, Miltian Conflict, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB170)-Artificial Personality Layer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A human-like personality created to allow humanoid Realians and androids to communicate smoothly with humans. Since simulated personalities are based on the whole spectrum of emotions experienced by real humans, they are installed to match their host's appearance and function--whether it be a young female Realian of a medical-use android. By using both artificial personalities and artificial intelligence, they can be given more human-like thoughts and emotions, but, normally, one or the other is suppressed, and the Realian or android is calibrated to be convenient to its user. --Link: Android, Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB171)-UNP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UNP stands for "Unus Mundus Network Phone," a general, personal-use telephonic terminal--in other words, a mobile phone. Connection gears also sport high-level communication features, but since they are prohibitively expensive, the UNP is in much more widespread use. Several hundred companies manufacture UNPs, but the VE series from Vector Industries is the most popular; the latest VE-U series features a motif starring the U.M.N. mascot Bunnie and is a favorite of Shion. Because connection gears use special military channels, UNP channels are more likely to get through during a military emergency. For this reason, most technicians with connection gears still tend to keep a UNP as a backup communication device. --Link: Bunnie, Connection Gear, U.M.N., Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB172)-U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stands for "Unus Mundus Network." This is the wide-area information network connecting the entire galaxy; it is used in spatial hops and faster-than-light communications, taking advantage of its distinctive non-locality; it uses the EPR paradox to establish connections without being bound by time or space. The U.M.N. was developed by Vector after Lost Jerusalem disappeared; its administration was then handed over to the Galaxy Federation. However, no records remain from its development period, so there is no way to verify any of the details. Lately, a large number of Gnosis encounters have been reported on the U.M.N. and within the Encephalon. The mastermind behind Gnosis terrorism, Grimoire Verum, has also used the U.M.N. for various events, leading some to speculate about a connection between the U.M.N. and the appearance of Gnosis. "Unus Mundus" refers to C.G. Jung's theory of the collective unconscious; it can explain the inconsistencies of synchronicity and the EPR paradox from a physics standpoint, as well as the mutually complementary connection and relationship between two minds and between mind and matter. In the story, it refers to a collective unconscious network where human consciousness are overlaid with and rendered alongside the network. --Link: Grimoire Verum, Encephalon, Gnosis Terrorism, Galaxy Federation, Gnosis, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB173)-U.M.N. Transfer Column >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One must use the U.M.N. to gate jump; U.M.N. transfer columns are areas that serve as gate jump portals. These columns exist as relay points in each designated area and connect pairs of transfer gates. Each column has its own range of influence, and it is not possible to gate jump outside a column's effective range. Gate jumping also incurs a toll that is collected whenever a column is used. The toll, charged on a pay-as-you-go basis, varies according to the distance traveled through hyperspace and ship classification. An average ship like the Elsa would pay 24.6G per unit of hyperspace traveled. A special oversized ship, such as the Durandal, would pay about 3.85 times the toll of an average ship. --Link: Gate Jump, Hyperspace, U.M.N. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB174)-U.M.N. Pulse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Signals indicating transport routes to spaceships, constantly being transmitted by U.M.N. transfer columns. When a gate jump is performed, one must receive either the destination pulse each column emits, or the route pulse each column receives. --Link: Gate Jump, U.M.N. Transfer Column >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB175)-Life Recycling Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Introduced as a proposal in T.C. 4590, this bill was approved and implemented in '91. Its aim was to recycle the bodies of the dead. Those who had registered as donors while alive had their bodies transformed into cyborgs after their deaths, but they were used as mere tools, with no human rights. Furthermore, the notion of "recycling" was interpreted as extending to the effective utilization of genes, and the bill was seen as including human clones and genetic and/or cranial nerve modification. This brought with it such benefits as broader living spaces and safety. However, with an increase in the number of mentally-imbalanced individuals, people like Ziggy becoming Federation government equipment, and humanoid weapons like URTVs experiencing issues of societal standing, the Act was repealed in T.C. 4754. Another reason for repealing the act was that, due to genetic modification, more and more people could adapt only to certain environments, and the human race was becoming biologically fragile. The number-one reason the Life Recycling Act was repealed, though, was that the victims of genetic modification were fighting over planets with environments that could support them, resulting in a large number of casualties. --Link: Ziggy, Cyborg, URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB176)-Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Realians are said to be the culmination of molecular bioengineering. Their body makeup ranges from carbon-based and very similar to that of humans to constructions based on silicon and even liquid metal. There is a type for every application. Legally they were considered equipment, but they possessed intelligence and emotions--which had been suppressed for their role as servants. Their basic human rights were acknowledged after the Miltian Conflict, however, and--apart from some Realians used for special work or in extreme conditions--their emotions were no longer deactivated. On the other hand their manufacturers had fitted them with "emergency control codes" for merchandise control and crisis management purposes. Many firms are manufacturing Realians, but their critical program--i.e., their central nervous system-- is generally produced by Vector. It is a veritable black box, and all maintenance, procedures beyond everyday adjustments, and alterations can only be carried out at Vector's Third Division. There was a time when Miltia's U-TIC Organization performed a great deal of research and development into specialized Realians. It was during this time that the 100-Series Observational Unit and battle Realians underwent improvement. It appears that various other Realian research took place as well, but most of the associated data was lost during the Miltian COnflict, and no further information is available today. --Link: 100-Series Observational Unit, U-TIC Organization, Vector Industries, Vector Third R&D Division ==================================================== [B033] Events ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB177)-Nursing Plant Incident >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mass-murder incident at the government VIP Nursing Plant in Draper on Planet Abraxas in T.C. 4667. Based on conditions at the crime scene, it was assumed to be the work of Voyager. While it is unknown why Voyager massacred so many infants, post-crime reports stated that large quantities of specific information was reported "lost" from the brains of the deceased children. --Link: Voyager, Draper, Planet Abraxas, E.A.P.F. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB178)-Space-Time Anomaly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Phenomenon in which the border between real space and its opposite, imaginary space, blurs, and the composition of space itself warps. Brought about by events such as a Zohar going out of control. The destruction of Miltia, Ariadne and Lost Jerusalem were all the result of space-time anomalies. These anomalies can be confirmed by EPR radar. --Link: Imaginary Space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB179)-Gnosis Terrorism >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Popular name for the Gnosis attacks that were brought about half a year ago. Along with several accomplices, the ringleader, a man named Grimoire Verum, manipulated the Gnosis and attacked the capital cities of several planets. According to reports from the Contact Subcommittee, which was responsible for the investigation, Grimoire and his accomplices all died within the U.M.N.. Their goals and the methods by which they controlled the Gnosis are still unknown, pending further investigation. Furthermore, Shion and Jin were involved in this incident; after its resolution, the KOS-MOS Project was halted and Shion decided to leave Vector. --Link: Grimoire Verum, KOS-MOS, U.M.N., Gnosis, Shion Uzuki, Jin Uzuki, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB180)-Ambassador Lock-Up Incident >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The incident in T.C. 4667 in which the Galaxy Federation Goodwill Ambassador were killed by Voyager with in a virtual space constructed within the U.M.N.. The selection of the Goodwill Ambassadors, as well as the preparation of the venue for the amnesty summit, had been performed by Donald Marquand, Special Representative to the planet Abraxas Archon Zone. The amnesty summit was intended to diminish the consciously-maintained distance between the Immigrant Fleet and the Galaxy Federation before the Pilgrimage Meeting, where a divide-and-rule system for Abraxas would be decided on; however, the incident became the grounds for a further worsening of their relationship. Furthermore, according to the records, all of the children who had been selected as Goodwill Ambassadors had been born on Abraxas. --Link: Voyager, Donald Marquand, Planet Abraxas, Archon Zone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB181)-Zoar Incident >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The unannounced attack on a Galaxy Federation planet in Miltian space by non-Federation planet Zoar is taken to have been the starting point of the incident. However, as surrounding planets were taken into the space-time anomaly after the Miltian Conflict, the truth of the matter is still unknown. One theory is that the radical faction of the former republic of Miltia rejected the idea of joining the Federation, instead joining forces with their former-Immigrant Fleet brethren living on Zoar and taking military action. Another theory states that the Federation Salvators, pretending to be the radical faction, invaded neighboring areas in the name of preserving the peace--but actually hoping to place all of Miltian space under their control. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB182)-Plan 31 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The order the U-TIC Organization gave to the 474th Spec Ops Fleet after they failed to secure the Zohar Emulator aboard the Woglinde. The U-TIC Organization predicted that, in order to retrieve the Zohar emulators, the Durandal would appear at the coordinates where the Woglinde had gone down from a Gnosis attack. Composite video footage of the Durandal returning fire upon the 474th Spec Ops Fleet after its ambush, made to look like the Durandal had been responsible for sinking the Federation ship Woglinde, was leaked throughout space. The Kukai Foundation, and by extension the Miltian autonomous government, caught in the trap, were surrounded by the Federation fleet, and those related to the incident were put under arrest. --Link: 474th Spec Ops Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB183)-Plan 401 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name of the plan enacted in conjunction with Plan 31, employed by the U-TIC Organization in order to strip the Second Miltian autonomous government of their vested rights. It entails the use of not the U-TIC Organization's own fleet, but of Federation forces manipulated through the government. By disseminating throughout space, composite video footage apparently showing the Durandal attacking the Woglinde, the Kukai Foundation, and by extension the Second Miltian government, were framed for treason, resulting in the mobilization of the Gedalya Region 422nd Fleet. Later, through operatives within the Federation, the U-TIC Organization proposed stripping the Second Miltian autonomous government of its vested rights, attempting once again to get their hands on MOMO, the key to the Y-Data. It is apparent that Margulis, who directed the operation, considered temporarily giving up MOMO to be a part of his predicted scenario. --Link: Plan 31, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB184)-Miltian Conflict >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The final conflict of the Zoar Incident, in which a fierce battle between the Federation government and the U-TIC Organization unfolded upon Shion's homeland of Miltia. The Federation government's military initiated its third descent operation, this time including the URTV special forces. According to records, U-TIC Organization founder Joachim Mizrahi caused the Zohar to go out of control, producing a space-time anomaly. --Link: Space-Time Anomaly, Zoar Incident, Miltia, URTV, U-TIC Organization, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB185)-Link Experiment >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Connection experiments related to the Zohar emulators, carried out by the U-TIC Organization at their facility on planet Ariadne. At that time, Andrew held the reins of the operation. It can be deduced that the experiments revolved around linking the Zohar emulators to another existence; from the use of the word "connection," it is likely that other existence was U-DO. However, these experiments ended in failure, with the disappearance of planet Ariadne in a space-time anomaly and its subsequent transformation into a Gnosis Cathedral Ship. --Link: Space-Time Anomaly, Planet Ariadne, U-TIC Organization, U-DO, Gnosis, Zohar Emulator, Andrew Cherenkov, Gnosis [Cathedral Ship] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB186)-Disappearance of Planet Ariadne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In T.C. 4765, the U-TIC Organization was conducting connection experiments with the Zohar emulators at their facility on planet Ariadne. However, a space-time anomaly was produced as a result of the Zohar emulators going out of control, and Ariadne completely disappeared along with 1.5 billion inhabitants. While it is unknown why Ariadne had been chosen as the location for the connection experiments, it was on this planet that the experiments' director, Andrew, had lived in a sham marriage. Here, he had committed murder repeatedly and had been placed in a personality reconditioning facility; it may be that he specifically chose Ariadne to be the land of his martyrdom. There are confirmed reports of fierce winds on the planet's surface immediately before its disappearance, as well as lights in the sky similar to a multi-layered aurora. It is held that only a small number of spaceships managed to escape, including those owned by the U-TIC Organization; thereafter, Ariadne became a Gnosis Cathedral Ship, made to wander the far reaches of space. --Link: Space-Time Anomaly, Link Experiment, Personality Reconditioning Facility, U-TIC Organization, Gnosis, Zohar Emulator, Andrew Cherenkov, Gnosis [Cathedral Ship] ==================================================== [B034] Locations ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB187)-Abyss >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The term referring to the singularity within the double black hole that appeared near Old Miltian space, after the space-time anomaly that occurred there. It was so named to reflect the special property of black holes; if you ever come near one, you will never be able to get out. --Link: Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB188)-Archon Spaceport >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A port facility constructed in the Archon Zone, the biggest city in Michtam. A large port equipped with a mass driver, it has been used as the planet's main spaceport since the planet's name was changed from Abraxas to Michtam. --Link: Mass Driver, Archon Zone, Planet Abraxas, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB189)-Archon Cathedral >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A cathedral built by the Immigrant Fleet during the Old Abraxas era to worship the Zohar. it is said to have its beginnings with the ancestors of the Immigrant Fleet who first drifted to this planet. Within a giant crack in the earth, they discovered underground ruins believed to be related to the Zohar; there, they built a facility to research both the ruins and the Zohar. The above-ground building is a place for the religious faith of the Immigrant Fleet populace, but underground lies a Zohar research facility staffed by Ormus researchers. In the heart of the underground ruins, there exists a room mode of a crystalline material that only Ormus cardinals are allowed to visit. Ziggy is closely connected to this place; it was here he was targeted by Voyager in a terrorist attack and his wife and child were killed. It is also the place where Ziggy took his own life. --Link: Voyager, Immigrant Fleet, Planet Abraxas, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB190)-Archon Zone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The largest city on planet Abraxas. Greek for "lord" or "ruler." In Gnosticism, a word referring to evil spirits or false gods. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB191)-Isolated Research Facility >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A facility built beneath Archon Cathedral where research was conducted by the Immigrant Fleet on the Original Zohar and underground ruins. Research was conducted at this facility not only by Ormus researchers, but by Joachim Mizrahi as well. After admission to the Galaxy Federation, the facility was taken over by the Federation government. Research began to be conducted under their lead, which ultimately led to the Zohar going out of control. Much of the research staff that escaped from Michtm went on to work at the Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center on Miltia. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, Archon Cathedral, C.S.R.C., Ormus, Original Zohar, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB192)-S-Line Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The S-Line Division, also referred to as S-Line. This is the term for Vector's data-administration section within the U.M.N., categorized into four ranks (S,A,B, and C) based on level of importance. S-Line, where Vector's classified information is stored, is the highest-ranking section. Therefore, it cannot be accessed without the CEO's permission. Grimoire, mastermind behind the Gnosis terrorism, was isolated within S-Division in a place known as Ars Nova. He controlled the Gnosis from within S-Division as he attacked cities on multiple planets. --Link: U.M.N., Wilhelm, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB193)-Elsa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A Lohengrin-class passenger-freighter transport (length: 166 meters, weight: 8400 tons) captained by Matthews. Originally a high-speed personal space cruiser, it was granted to Matthews by a certain person as compensation for his services. It was later remodeled by Matthews, Tony, Hammer, and the rest of the Elsa's crew, who now use it for retrieving junk and other objects. The ship is rigged from stem to stern with unauthorized hidden weaponry, a fact that is unnoticeable from the outside. Its main propulsion engine has been replaced with the latest model logical drive, heavily tuned. In Tony's words, it boasts the fastest speed of any space vessel in the universe. After landing on Second Miltia, it was refurbished to add alterations to the structure and internal layout of the ship. In particular, the A.G.W.S. hangar on the bottom of the ship was enlarged to where it could maintain several E.S.s at once. This remodeling was headed up by the Professor. Matthews is in love with his swan-like ship, but it is currently put up as collateral for a loan from the Kukai Foundation. --Link: Tony, Professor, Hammer, Matthews, Logical Drive, Kukai Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB194)-Ormus Strondhold >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A free-orbiting fortress over ten kilometers in length, used by Margulis and the Inquisitors as on of their bases after abandoning Pleroma. It was set to be deployed in the battle against the Federation fleet inside the path to Miltia when it opened. However, it wound up being hurriedly pressed into use as a defense line against the Elsa when it tried to break through the path. Despite this, it was destroyed from the inside by E.S. craft piloted by Shion and the others, and was ultimately swallowed by the Abyss. --Link: Inquisitors >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB195)-Isolation Area >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A quarantine area in Sector D of the Durandal, where the Zohar emulators were stored. Also known as the Zohar Room, it was established as a countermeasure to both the Gnosis and the U-TIC Organization, which is hunting the Zohar. Inside, twelve Zohar emulators are kept under strict control via an Attract Inhibitor in a large space which has been divided into thirteen blocks. Each block has been given the name of one of the Twelve Apostles, the followers of Christ. The thirteenth black bears the name Marienkind, or "child of Mary"; this is where the Original Zohar is slated to be stored. --Link: Durandal, Attract Inhibitor, Zohar Emulator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB196)-Orbital Elevator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A giant elevator that connects a planet with a space station. It can make several round trips a day between a space station in geosynchronous satellite orbit and a platform established near the planet's equator. This eliminates the need for a crew to land their spaceship on the surface of the planet. Some planets combine their orbital elevators with mass driver-based launch systems. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB197)-Orbital Station >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A space station that has been established in satellite orbit above a planet, primarily intended for the docking of ships. The cylinder extending from an orbital station is connected several thousand meters below with a facility that has been built on the planet's surface, near the equator. An elevator that has been established within the cylinder allows the crews of ships that have docked at the orbital station to transport themselves or the goods they brought with them to the surface without having to deal with atmospheric entry. People or goods on the surface can also be transported to space in the same manner. Previously, launching ships via a mass driver was the customary approach; however, the orbital elevator system has become heavily used in recent years as a safer, low-cost alternative. A planet's orbital station is seen as the front door to that planet. --Link: Mass Driver, Orbital Elevator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB198)-Gedalya Autonomous State >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An autonomous state that is home to the headquarters of the 422nd Federation Fleet, which surrounded the Kukai Foundation as Second Miltia fell to the U-TIC Organization. Rumor has it that officials related to the U-TIC Organization have infiltrated the upper ranks of its government, and that Gedalya's representative in Parliament has ties to Ormus that date from before the Miltian Conflict. Like Helmer, the representative has a background as a high-ranking officer in the Galaxy Federation forces, but much of that history remains unclear. The state has argued in the Federation Parliament against Second Miltia's right to the Zohar, as well as against the arming of the Kukai Foundation. Although Gedalya and Second Miltia are affiliated with the same Federation, one could say that the two planets corrently see each other as enemies. --Link: Second Miltia, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB199)-Sakura's House >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Encephalon created within Sakura's subconscious domain; a visualization of the warm home in her mind. It was used as a place to carry out URTV mental link experiments, as well as to treat Sakura. Jr. first met Sakura here. For Sakura, it was the first time she had ever met anyone who could understand her words. --Link: Jr., Encephalon, URTV, Sakura Mizrahi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB200)-Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The medical facility where Aoi Uzuki, Shion's mother, was hospitalized in a vegetative state. Instead of performing normal medical treatments, it used cutting-edge technology to administer nanomedicine, experimental treatments, and so forth. In truth, it was part of the Labyrinthos facility, headquarters of the U-TIC Organization; it collected subjects who would contact U-DO in order to conduct link experiments with the Vessels of Anima and the Zohar. Aoi Uzuki was amongst the test subjects; during her experiments, Febronia was used as part of the system. During the Miltian Conflict, an eight-year-old Shion saw her parents killed before her eyes in one of the facility's hospital rooms. The experience was so traumatic for her that she later repressed her memories of it. --Link: Aoi Uzuki, Febronia, Labyrinthos, U-TIC Organization, Vessel Of Anima, U-DO, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB201)-Dämmerung >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A free-orbiting colony that serves as Vector Industries' main headquarters. It is so large (1000 kilometers in length) that it is almost like an artificial planet. The nerve center of the entire group and its affiliated businesses is gathered on this colony; Shion's living quarters, as well as the First R&D Division where she was stationed, were also here. The office where Vector CEO Wilhelm converses with the Testaments is laid out in the upper block of the Dämmerung. The Dämmerung is categorized as a colony, but its mobility and firepower far outclasses even the military's large battleships. When the Kukai Foundation was in danger after being surrounded by Gnosis, it appeared before Shion with three allied ships. With those ships, it launched the powerful Rhine Maiden, a particularly noteworthy part of its power. The music of Wagner is always playing in Wilhelm's office. That combined with the name "Rhine Maiden," gives one a good idea of his tastes. --Link: Wilhelm, Rhine Maiden, Vector Industries, Shion Uzuki, Vector First R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB202)-Personality Reconditioning Facility >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A facility established to perform personality reconditioning on serious criminals with behavioral brain disorders. Andrew was institutionalized in this facility's building, which is divided into three departments: a research lab to investigate behavioral brain disorders, a hospital ward to conduct personality reconditioning surgery, and an instructional department to re-educate patients, with the goal of returning them to society. The re-eduction curriculum is centered around lifestyle guidance and work training; patients with severe emotional disorders may undergo psychotherapy or hypnosis therapy. Once a full re-education curriculum has been completed and a subject has been acceptably rehabilitated according to baselines set by a court of law, he is allowed to return to regular society and live a normal life, albeit under the surveillance of an administrative manager. --Link: Andrew Cherenkov, Level 7 Personality Reconditioning >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB203)-Sunken City >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After the space-time anomaly, Old Miltia was blocked off from the local U.M.N., spatially detached from the rest of the universe. Fourteen years later, it reappeared, but the city had lost its past liveliness and most of its surface had flooded. Exactly what happened to this land during this blank interval is unknown. Labyrinthos, where the Original Zohar sleeps, looms in the city center, barely retaining its original form. --Link: Labyrinthos, Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB204)-Second Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> With Old Miltia, the previous capital planet, swallowed up into the space-time anomaly, the capital was hurriedly relocated to a habitable planet that had just completed Stage 2 terraforming within the same Tantus Arm. The planet is still being modified today, but primeval forests still flourish throughout the land. It is blessed with a great deal of water, making it reminiscent of Lost Jerusalem. Helmar, Representative of Second Miltia's autonomous state government, is currently at the helm. The government contributed to the establishment of the Kukai Foundation; in practice, the two are deeply connected, working as a single group or force. Shion and Jin's house is located in the suburbs of Second Miltia. Immigration to the planet has been taking place since the tail end of Stage 1 terraforming, but Shion's grandfather apparently settled there before that time. The planet is 13,200 kilometers in diameter. Its gravity is 1.03 times that of Earth. --Link: Helmer, Lost Jerusalem, Kukai Foundation, Shion Uzuki, Jin Uzuki, Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB205)-Dabrye Mine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A mine in Miltia, located in the southeast part of Labyrinthos. A relatively wide range of mineral ores were mined here, including gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron. It was mainly mind for iron and produced the most iron of any Miltian mine, boasting a yearly output of 9 million tons. According to one report, most of the mined iron was used in the construction of Labyrinthos. As the U-TIC Organization armed itself, the mine's crew was forced to work under increasingly restricted conditions. By the time Miltia disappeared, the mine had mostly been abandoned. It is said that the tight restrictions on workers stemmed from a feud between the old hierocracy and the government of the republic, which was a puppet of the Federation. --Link: Milita, Labyrinthos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB206)-Durandal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A heavily-armed Kukai Foundation ship that extends over 4000 meters in length. Jr. is normally in command of the ship; otherwise, it is run by the sisters Mary and Shelley. Its front end plunges into the center of the Foundation colony to dock with it, turning the whole ship into a Metropolis. It has now become a tourist attraction, and is even listed in travel guides. This specialized design came about as the result of careful thought over the evacuation of the colony in an emergency. In such a case, citizens could evacuate directly into the Durandal, which would then take off, abandoning the colony. The Durandal's activities mainly involve missions from the Second Miltian government or Contact Subcommittee that must be kept from the public eye. As a result, the Durandal's movements are not a matter of public record. The U-TIC Organization has taken advantage of this situation to ensnare the Durandal in the past. Currently, its contracted mission is to protect the Zohar emulators and hunt down the Gnosis. --Link: Jr., Kukai Foundation, Zohar Emulator, Shelley Godwin, Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB207)-C.A.T. Testing Ground >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for Consolidated Advanced Technology, the C.A.T. Testing Grounds are contained within a giant facility located on Fifth Jerusalem, capital planet of the Galaxy Federation. Many kinds of new technology are tested here, including military technology. T-elos's evaluation test was held in the Number Four Exercise Area, the largest section of the base and big enough to hold operational tests for giant mobile weaponry. --Link: Fifth Jerusalem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB208)-Lake Turkana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The lake whose excavation project was led by Dr. Masuda, funded by Vector Industries capital. Excavation on the lakeside revealed the pedestal of the "Compass of Order and Chaos." When Masuda placed a stone tablet he had with him on the excavated object, the Zohar appeared from the lake. The lake is located on the northern edge of Kenya, in Africa. Its surface area is 7000 square kilometers, and its maximum depth is 73 meters. It is located in a very hot, semi-arid area, and there is little vegetation in the landscape, apart from shrubs. The eastern coastline of Lake Turkana is well known as one of Africa's greatest sites for fossilized hominids. The region is home to the Sibiloi, Central Island, and South Island National Parks; a large variety of bird species live in the area. The lake basin also offers a view of a Quaternary Period desert environment. As a vital location for historical research, the Lake Turkana National Parks were registered as a natural heritage World Heritage Site in A.D. 1997. This registration was expanded in A.D. 2001. --Link: Masuda, Vector Industries, Compass of Order and Chaos, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB209)-Draper >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A region in the suburbs of Archon, densely packed with the facilities of firms in the biomedical sector. It was once used as an agricultural area, taking advantage of its fertile soil, but the bulk of the land was seized by the Galaxy Federation in the late T.C. 4580s. At that point in time, the Immigrant Fleet had territorial rights to Abraxas in all but name; while the Federation acquiesced to this ostensible fact, it demanded the partial transfer of ownership of some of Abraxas's land to them as compensation. The Federation's semi-forced ownership transfer of the Draper region is thought to have been a part of these demands. In T.C. 4591, the Draper region was opened up to private use by Dmitri Yuriev after a branch of the Yuriev Institute was built there. every private business in the biotechnology sector set up shop in the area, hoping to enjoy the new benefits provided by the Life Recycling Act in a region closely linked with Yuriev. As expected from the above situation, most of the businesses located there were emerging branches of private industries, but government-owned nursing plants like J.M.I. also existed there. This was Yuriev's plan from the start; he ultimately induced all information related to biotechnology to concentrate itself around J.M.I.. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Life Recycling Law, Yuriev Institute, Archon Zone, J.M.I. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB210)-Fifth Jerusalem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The central planet of the Federation, and the center of its legislative, judical, and federal branches.

Jerusalem means "city of peace" in Hebrew. --Link: Contact Subcommittee, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB211)-The Old Church >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An old church in the suburbs of Dasgupta, capital of Miltia. It has been abandoned for a fairly long time, but is thought to have been an Ormus church at one point. --Link: Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB212)-Pleroma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A planetoid built by fusing several asteroids together, used as a hiding place by the U-TIC Organization. Its solemn exterior evokes an air of sanctity. In the past, it was a place of worship used by Ormus. By the time the U-TIC Organization reopened it after the Miltian Conflict, it had been abandoned for several centuries. The name Pleroma was given by the Patriarch; it was named after the immigrant ship used by Ormus to escape Earth's geosphere. This is the place where MOMO was captured and held captive by Margulis. --Link: Patriarch, Ormus, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB213)-Pedea Island >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A small island, approximately two kilometers in circumference, in the Vertex Archipelago on Second Miltia. The Vertex Archipelago is famous as a vacation destination; however, now that most people are concentrating of Fata Morgana Island, which is being fostered as a tourist spot by the Second Miltian government, almost no tourists visit these islands, making them a hidden gem for sightseeing. --Link: Second Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB214)-C.S.R.C. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Cerebral Sciences Research Center is headed by Joachim Mizrahi. A specialized laboratory, established under Vector sponsorship, that integrated cerebral neurology and phenomena physics. It was the site of both Original Zohar analysis and Gnosis research. The unique nature of its research caused it to be treated as a fringe element by many, but the center's accomplishments included environmental bugs, the D.S.S.S., and the Hilbert effect. In order to analyze the Original Zohar, Joachim reconstructed Lemegeton (which was being stored by Vector) and began design work on the Song of Nephilim and the U-DO System. He also produced specialized Realians known as transgenic types for use as body donors during the design process. Afterwards, a plan was unfurled to use the Zohar as a weapon and energy source. Jurisdiction was transferred from Vector to the Federation government, and it became the U-TIC Organization, a group under direct governmental control. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, Transgenic Type, Hilbert Effect, D.S.S.S., U-TIC Organization, U-DO, Original Zohar, Gnosis, Song of Nephilim, Environmental Bug >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB215)-Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shion and Jin's home planet, more often referred to today as "Old Miltia" to differentiate it from Second Miltia. Site of the Miltian Conflict and birthplace of many other incidents and tragedies, it was sealed away for fourteen years when its region of space was blocked off from the U.M.N.. However, after the Y-Data was leaked, the path to Miltia was unlocked and the planet once again turned into a battlefield over the Original Zohar resting within Labyrinthos. After landing on Miltia, Shion was faced with a painful decision in front of the Zohar. She also learned the startling truth hidden behind the Miltian Conflict. However, despite having destroyed the Zohar control system to stop the awakening of U-DO, the Omega System sprung into action by Ormus's hand, and Proto Omega was born, destroying the planet itself in the process. On that day, Miltia disappeared from space forever. --Link: Miltian Conflict, Second Miltia, Labyrinthos, Original Zohar, Y-Data, Shion Uzuki, Jin Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB216)-Miltian Hierocracy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A solar-systemwide state formed on Miltia, the only habitable planet in the Miltian system, Galaxy 18, Tantus Arm, 4th Finger. Since most of its citizens originated from the Immigrant Fleet and its political structure followed Fleet doctrine, the nation was governed independently, without the input of the Galaxy Federation. Later, it buckled under Federation pressure and moved to an autonomous state form of government, with a representative appointed by the Federation government as head of state. However, this status of essentially being under the control of the Federation government served to antagonize the public and became one of the causes of the Miltian Conflict. Much of the later U-TIC Organization's membership was built from the remnants of the hierocracy government's military. --Link: Miltian Conflict, Miltia, Immigrant Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB217)-Miltian Autonomous State >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A solar-systemwide state formed by the Miltian Hierocracy by shifting its structure after it joined the Galaxy Federation. The idea of a Federation representative serving as head of state resulted in smoldering discontent, leading to the outbreak of the Miltian Conflict. (Of course, there were other circumstances behind the conflict that were not revealed to the public.) With this conflict, the Miltian star system became isolated from the U.M.N. and the remaining hierocracy government officials were annihilated. Most of the citizens who escaped planet Miltia moved to a habitable planet 10 parsecs (about 36 light years) away in a neighboring star system, where terraforming had just been completed using Miltian funds. Later, this star system would inherit the Milita name, and the planet would come to be called Second Miltia. Lieutenant General Helmer was chosen from the Immigrant Fleet military to become the new parliamentary Representative, and the planet has been stable ever since. Its capital is Mitrei. --Link: Miltian Conflict, Second Miltia, Milita, Miltian Hierocracy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB218)-Miltian Space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Miltian Space" refers to the group of solar systems in Galaxy 18, Tantus Arm, 4th Finger. Second Miltia is a solar system about 36 light years away, in the 3rd Finger. Miltian space was the site of the most intense fighting in a war that completely engulfed the Galaxy Federation. That war, the Miltian Conflict, was named after this area. --Link: Miltian Conflict, Second Miltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB219)-Moby Dick's Café >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A café whose exterior blends in with Second Miltia's modern cityscape, but whose interior is tinged with a nostalgic tone. It originally conducted business in Sector 4, but moved away after the sector became zoned for redevelopment. The white whale on the sign comes from the famous novel; the interior recreates the atmosphere of the Pequod, the whaling ship that chased after Moby Dick in the story. The café mostly serves alcohol an light fare, but the curry it offers as an off-menu item is the secret delight of its customers. Shion's homemade curry also has its roots here as she's been a customer of the café since high school. Jin also stops by frequently. --Link: Curry, Second Miltia, Shion Uzuki, Jin Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB220)-U.M.N. Administration Bureau >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An organization affiliated with the Galaxy Federation that administrates and manages the U.M.N.. it has branch offices in every star system; one of them, the one on Second Miltia, was where MOMO conducted the Y-Data analysis. Normally, it handles the control, administration, and customs duties for U.M.N. communications and gate jumps. It also investigates and handles any incidents or accidents that occur within the U.M.N.. The U.M.N. was originally administrated and managed by Vector; when the rights moved to the Galaxy Federation, the Bureau was formed with Vector's cooperation. Since it is essentially in a position where it can take hold of all of the galaxy's information, its statements carry heavy weight with the central government. However, it is also true that 98% of their infrastructure, resources, and technicians are still provided by Vector. --Link: Gate Jump, U.M.N., Galaxy Federation, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB221)-U.M.N.

In Revelation, the term is believed to refer to the Euphrates River. Why Voyager chose to quote this word is a mystery. One hypothesis is that he was comparing U-DO to the "king" of Revelation and had attempted "to call forth Armageddon for the battle of God." The Euphrates River is an international riverway whose source is in northeastern Turkey. It crosses Syria before joining the Tigris River in Iraq and becoming the Shatt-al-Arab, which continues into the Persian Gulf. Its total length extends 2780 kilometers. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB223)-Yuriev Institute >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An U-DO research organization established by Dmitri Yuriev in the T.C. 4660s. It unraveled the U-DO phenomenon and developed and raised the URTVs as a countermeasure. Since its backbone consists of Salvators from political and financial circles it is assured both assorted government amnesties and abundant funding for its activities. It possesses a private force the size of the military of an autonomous state. Although this private force is small in scope, it has absolute command superiority over the Salvators in the Federation military. As a result, it could be said that the entire non-Immigrant Fleet portion of the Federation military is, essentially, under the command of Dmitri's private force. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Salvator, URTV, U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB224)-E.A.P.F. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Educational Artificial Placenta Facility was built to artificially raise the elite personnel who will become the leaders of the future. The genetic manipulation of embryos was carried out during the developmental stage in the nurseries of this facility. These facilities existed on most of the galaxy's main planets. Records left from the facilities on Planet Abraxas (particularly the ones in Draper) indicate that they raised fetuses using the sperm and eggs of natural-born Abraxas citizens. 18% of the government bureaucracy in the early T.C. 4700s was staffed by people who had been artificially created in facilities like these. These facilities are generally described as a byproduct of the Life Recycling Act, but the original goal of the law is believed to have been the artificial creation of an elite race with the ultimate mission of linking with the Zohar. The facilities were completely shut down after the Life Recycling Act was abolished, but the technology they had cultivated, as well as the massive amount of data they had recorded, was all seized by the Yuriev Institute. --Link: Life Recycling Law, Draper, Yuriev Institute, Planet Abraxas, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB225)-Labyrinthos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name of the tower that serves as the U-TIC Organization's central headquarters. The term is also generally used to refer to all of the headquarters' buildings. The Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility (the former C.S.R.C.) and the Song of Nephilim were a part of its facilities. Top secret research, including that on the Original Zohar and the Vessels of Anima, was conducted in an underground experimental facility. During the Miltian Conflict, the tower was invaded by the Federation URTV special forces. However, the Song of Nephilim was allowed to launch, escaping the planet with a one-third of the Organization's staff. The tower is also the place where Joachim Mizrahi fell to his death. Afterwards, Labyrinthos was set to be taken over by the Federation military, but they were unable to stop the space-time anomaly that Joachim had set off. Most of the tower's research material, including the Original Zohar, was sealed off along with Miltia. Rumor has it that a Salvator unit in command of the URTVs took some research material from Miltia just before it was sealed off. However, the confusion caused by the space-time anomaly and the Gnosis phenomenon has left us with no accurate records, so it is unknown whether there is any truth to this rumor. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility, C.S.R.C., U-TIC Organization, Vessel Of Anima, Original Zohar, Song of Nephilim >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB226)-Rennes-le-Château >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The spherical landmass that appears in the story is not a chunk of land from Lost Jerusalem floating in space. It just appeared that way, after the Rennes-le-Château part made a direct spatial attachment to the area of space near Michtam. This happened when Lost Jerusalem, which had been shrunk down to Planck-scale levels, returned to normal space together with the appearance of Abel's Ark. However, as Rennes-le-Château's spatial continuity has been cut off from Lost Jerusalem, it cannot strictly be defined as a part of Lost Jerusalem. A tomb lies deep inside; Kevin collected and restored the body of Mary that was resting within, turning it into T-elos. As an aside, Rennes-le-Château is the name of a small village in the south of France. Said to be the home of Mary Magdalene, it is the source of many legends and traditions, including stories about the bloodline of Jesus and the Holy Grail. Whether the Rennes-le-Château in the story is the same place as the real-life Rennes-le-Château is unclear. --Link: Mary Magdalene, Lost Jerusalem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB227)-Lost Jerusalem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Earth, mother planet of the human race. As a result o the space-time anomaly touched off after the Zohar went out of control several thousand years ago, currently not even its existence can be confirmed. The goal of Ormus is to return to Lost Jerusalem; they are attempting to effect its resurrection through the Zohar. --Link: Space-Time Anomaly, Ormus, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB228)-Planet Atalya >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A small planet affiliated with the Galaxy Federation, that serves as a relay point between planets in all directions. Its population is not particularly large; since most people going from one planet to another will pass through Atalya at some point, it has more travelers than permanent residents. Its good weather makes it a comfortable place to live, but most of the planet has been zoned off for the resort homes of the rich and powerful. There is a lodging section for visitors, but the rates there are astoundingly high. Most people only visit this planet as a relay point on the U.M.N. transfer column to their destination. --Link: U.M.N. Transfer Column, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB229)-Planet Abraxas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The fourth planet in the Michtam star system. Used as a base of settlement by groups (believed to be under the influence of Ormus forces) that had managed to escape the Earth upon its destruction. The groups formed an independent nation unaffiliated with Federation law, and thus declared the establishment of the Immigrant Fleet nation. However, it was later incorporated into the Federation. The planet-state's population is said to have been over 2.3 billion by the T.C. 4300s; even after joining the Federation, records show that 67% of its population remained purely descended from citizens of the Immigrant Fleet. When the main Immigrant Fleet came to the forefront of history in the T.C. 4500s, it set off a countless string of conflicts with the Galaxy Federation over the planet's sovereignty. However, after the moderate Julius XVIII ascended the Patriarchy of the Immigrant Fleet in the mid-T.C. 4600s, the Fleet advanced a policy of appeasement toward the Federation government. Both sides would continue to follow a divide-and-rule approach until Sergius XIV assumed the role of Patriarch. --Link: Sergius XIV, Julius XVIII, Immigrant Fleet, Divide and Rule Measure, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB230)-Planet Ariadne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A medium-sized (population: 1.5 billion) divided into three sections: a zone filled with greenery, a zone surging with businesses and research facilities, and a living space for regular citizens. The business zone housed the headquarters of a company which focused on the artificial plant industry. The planet's green zone was dominated by the artificial plants of the business, and new types of flowers, amongst other items, were sold to the citizens of the main planets. The "Ariadne Flower," with its unique blue petals, was an especially popular product. However, lurking beneath all of this was an experimental facility owned by Ormus--the U-TIC Organization. A link experiment with the Zohar emulators, carried out in this facility under Andrew's command, caused a space-time anomaly that annihilated planet Ariadne, turning it into a Gnosis. This event was later referred to as the "disappearance of planet Ariadne," and the Woglinde was dispatched to investigate it. --Link: Space-Time Anomaly, Link Experiment, Ormus, U-TIC Organization, Zohar Emulator, Andrew Cherenkov >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB231)-Planet Carioca >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A planet with a wealth of national-level support programs, making it inviting to many business and university research facilities. Vector Industries' First and Third R&D Divisions have constructed several facilities here. It was in the research room of the Type 1 OS Design Department (the precursor to the KOS-MOS Project) that the archetype went out-of-control, leading to tragedy. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB232)-Planet Keltia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A planet neighboring Fifth Jerusalem. Diameter: approximately 21,500 kilometers. Planetary development is said to have taken a mind-numbingly long amount of time, but now it is a rich and varied planet, with six billion people living their lives in a vast, temperate landscape. Keltia is the home planet of Julia and Chloe, the Seraphim Sisters for whom Captain Matthews has fallen head over heels. They're currently on a major tour celebrating the group's one-year anniversary. --Link: Seraphim Sisters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB233)-Planet Zavarov >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A planet that is home to a deep-seated Salvator force. The Yuriev Institute was opened here. After the separation from Joachim, Juli Mizrahi lived on this planet with Sakura. Since it belonged to a solar system near Miltia's, it became the base of operations for the Galaxy Federation Peacekeeping Detachment Fleet during the Miltian Conflict. --Link: Yuriev Institute >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB234)-Planet Senir >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The skies of this planet are always covered in thick clouds; due to this weather, there are only a few residential zones where citizens live. Since land prices are low planetwide, it is covered with small-business headquarters, branch offices, and research buildings. The U-TIC Organization has been using this planet as a cover for a testing facility that conducts secret research. This is why Andrew tried to come here after the Woglinde disaster upon being rescued by the Elsa. The Galaxy Federation regards the U-TIC Organization as a terrorist group for the role it allegedly had in causing the Miltian Conflict to break out. It has gone underground to escape pursuit, but its power has not withered, and it still has facilities across many planets. --Link: U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB235)-Planet Tessedora >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The capital planet of the autonomous state of Tessedora. Diameter: 12,500 kilometers. Gravity: 1.02 times that of Earth. The planet is located in the farthest part of space from the Galaxy Federation'S chief planets, but it has a Federation-affiliated marine force, the 117th Marine Division. However, Andrew and other U-TIC Organization agents had infiltrated the Tessedora's marine division that went with the cruiser Woglinde to investigate planet Ariadne. From this, there arises the possibility that U-TIC Organization remnants are strong in Tessedora's government and military. --Link: Galaxy Federation, 117th Marine Division, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB236)-Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The current name for planet Abraxas. The real reason why the planet was named after a celestial body is unknown, but the prevailing theory claims it was due to the fourth planet in the Michtam system being the only one habitable by humanity. After the appearance of the main Immigrant Fleet, the sovereignty of the planet was essentially transferred to the Immigrant Fleet nation, and the planet came to be commonly called Abraxas. However, after Voyager's attack on the Pilgrimage Meeting in T.C. 4667, the Galaxy Federation tightened their surveillance of the planet, fearing that the Zohar would go out of control. This led to Abraxas's sovereignty falling out of balance; eventually, all domain rights were transferred to the Galaxy Federation. The planet became recognized as a planet-state under Federation law; and at the same time, an official declaration decreed that its official name was now Michtam, taken from the star system. --Link: Planet Abraxas, Immigrant Fleet ==================================================== [B035] Weapons ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB237)-27-Series Asura >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A next-generation combat Realian created by Kevin Winnicot, based on data taken from Febronia, the transgenic type Realian archetype. Their ability to judge and adapt to situations is greater than previous combat Realians; they are designed to be able to handle any given situation using their own judgement. They are difficult to calibrate, however, and are still in the testing phase. During the Miltian Conflict, they were placed on the front lines of battle with insufficient calibration; as a result, they went out of control. During their rampage, they killed and injured many without distinguishing friend from foe. --Link: Kevin Winnicot, Febronia, Transgenic Type, Realian, Miltian Conflict >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB238)-Attract Inhibitor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Zohar Emulators, created by Professor Joachim Mizrahi, have many varied functions that utilize the extensive energies of the Zohar. As with the Original Zohar, however, it has been confirmed that a space-time anomaly appears when they go out of control. The attract inhibitor prevents this loss of control and inhibits the activity of the Zohar Emulators. In biochemistry, an "inhibitor" is a substance that blocks enzymatic functions. --Link: Zohar Emulator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB239)-Amplifier >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A device used to amplify the Hilbert Effect generated by the anti-Gnosis scanning Realians known as 100-Series Observational Units. The radius of maximum coverage is about 100 kilometers. All Federation military warships built after T.C. 4766 have them installed as part of their standard equipment. However, since the weight of the device runs anywhere from ten to several hundred tons, only large vessels are able to have them on board. KOS-MOS is an exception, however; even without the use of an amplifier, she can cause Gnosis within several hundred astronomical units to take physical form. --Link: 100-Series Observational Unit, Hilbert Effect, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB240)-ECM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for "Electronic Countermeasures." A system designed to interfere with an enemy fleet's electronic devices. an ECM sends out electromagnetic waves that jam enemy radars and other electronic devices, lowering their ability to function or rendering them useless. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB241)-Wellgunde >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A newly-constructed Vector ship with the Rhine Maiden on board. The third ship in the line of Woglinde-class cruisers. --Link: Rhine Maiden, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB242)-Woglinde >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A battleship assigned to the Galaxy Federation 117th Marine Division. Built by Vector and loaned to the Federation Marine Corps as the first anti-Gnosis battleship. The hull is about 1000 meters long from stem to stern. It was developed rapidly for a public test run, so only the command block and propulsion unit have been equipped; 80% of its components have yet to be installed. Since this is a test run, the emblems and insignia of Federation Marine Corps are not present; only the Vector Industries logo has been stenciled onto the side of the ship. Its unique structure is split into a top and bottom section. The top section is the command block, and the bottom section was hastily assembled from generic materials for the test run of the new logical drive. --Link: Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB243)-Woglinde II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A newly-constructed Vector ship with the Rhine Maiden on board. The second ship in the line of Woglinde-class cruisers. --Link: Rhine Maiden, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB244)-A.G.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for "Anti-Gnosis Weapon System." Pronounced like "eggs." A piloted vehicle, not necessarily limited to humanoid form. In order to combat the intangible Gnosis, A.G.W.S.s designed for many different combat situations are being developed. The main engine is a transfer generator; all energy is directly transferred from the mothership or mother unit. For this reason, each unit can operate for an unlimited amount of time. The model currently being mass-produced for the army and the U-TIC Organization is the AG Series from Hyams Heavy Industries; however, the specs of Vector Industries' VX Series not only exceed those of the AG Series, but the craft are also aimed toward the consumer market, and are currently being tested within governmental special forces and limited parts of the Army. --Link: AG Series, Generator, VX Series, Vector Industries, Gnosis, Hyams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB245)-A.M.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for "Assault Maneuver Weapon System." Pronounced like "aims." A term used for all humanoid assault weapons that work in conjunction with a mothership or escort craft. Due to a lack of anti-Gnosis equipment, A.M.W.S.s are superior to A.G.W.S.s in both cost-effectiveness and general purpose functionality, and are widely used by the Federation government, autonomous states, the Immigrant Fleet, and other forces. Within the U-TIC Organization, Richard's Pilum and Hermann's Scutum are both A.M.W.S.s. The unit Jin was piloting during the Miltian Conflict was also an A.M.W.S.. --Link: A.G.W.S., A.M.W.S. Scutum, A.M.W.S. Pilum >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB246)-A.M.W.S. [Jin's] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An A.M.W.S. based on Hyams' VRA-1800B model and specially tuned for the Federal Intelligence Bureau. Piloted by Jin Uzuki during the Miltian descent operation. At Captain Uzuki's request, a custom sword had been equipped as a close-combat weapon. --Link: Jin Uzuki, A.M.W.S., Hyams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB247)-A.M.W.S. [Doctus's] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An A.M.W.S. customized by Scientia for Doctus. Its codename is "Astraea." However, its design concept is closer to that of an E.S. than that of an A.M.W.S.. How Scientia learned the design data of E.S. craft is unknown. --Link: Doctus, A.M.W.S., Scientia, E.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB248)-A.M.W.S. Scutum >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An A.M.W.S. made by Hyams Heavy Industries. The name "Scutum" means "shield" in Latin. It has been specially tuned for the use of Ormus Inquisitors, and is piloted by Hermann. It was destroyed in the battle with Shion's party at the Ormus Stronghold. --Link: Hermann, Ormus Stronghold, A.M.W.S., Ormus, Hyams, Inquisitors >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB249)-A.M.W.S. Pilum >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An A.M.W.S. made by Hyams Heavy Industries. The name "Pilum" means "javelin" in Latin. It has been specially tuned for the use of Ormus Inquisitors, and is piloted by Richard. At the Ormus Stronghold, the Pilum displayed its power by transferring the main cannons of the Naglfar and destroying the inner walls of the stronghold, but it was destroyed by the E.S. craft piloted by Shion's party. --Link: Richard, Ormus Stronghold, A.M.W.S., Ormus, Hyams, Inquisitors >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB250)-AG Series >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A.G.W.S.s manufactured by Hyams. Though these are provided to the Federation Army, the base frame structures, transmitters, condensers, drivers, and control processors are mostly the same parts found in the A.G.W.S.s used by Ormus. Its design permits modules to be swapped in order to adapt to various types of combat. --Link: A.G.W.S., Hyams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB251)-M.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for "Multiple Weapons System." A multifunctional portable weapons system designed and built by Shion's junior colleague, Miyuki. Various types of weapons--such as anti-Gnosis beam launchers, knuckles, taser rods, and more--are contained within. It also has a built-in shield that utilizes spacial phase shifting, and thus provides a high level of defensive capability in addition to its offensive capability. It also has a built-in provisional logical drive to cancel its own weight and increase the impact of its attacks; with this design, even female users can easily use the weapon. --Link: Logical Drive, Shion Uzuki, Miyuki Itsumi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB252)-Revised M.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the revised model of the multifunctional portable weapons systems designed and built by Miyuki. She took the original M.W.S. which Shion was using and further customized it. Its defensive capabilities have been especially enhanced; the output of its phase-space shield is triple that of the previous model. Instead of the bulky design of the previous M.W.S., it has been redesigned to be smart, slim, and compact, in order to fit Shion's style of martial-arts combat. --Link: M.W.S., Shion Uzuki, Miyuki Itsumi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB253)-Auto-Tech >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The generic term for an autonomous mobile combat weapon that does not require a pilot. Because its unmanned, it is not limited by G-force constraints, and its mobility and speed are greater than that of a manned unit. Its combat patterns are very simple, however, and its actions are easily predictable, making it no great threat to a manned unit under the control of a seasoned pilot. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB254)-Condenser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In physics, a condenser is a device that charges a conductor through electrostatic induction. Here, "condenser" refers to the device used to store the energy necessary to power KOS-MOS. The are two types of condenser: the test-type and the combat model. The latter is being developed by Vector Industries Second R&D Division on Second Miltia. --Link: KOS-MOS, Vector Industries, Vector Second R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB255)-Generator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Literally, this means a device that creates power and electricity; here, however, it refers to the main engine or power generator of ships such as the Elsa or the Woglinde. --Link: Elsa, Woglinde >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB256)-Tactical Assault Ship Merkabah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An artifact of God, written of in the Y-Data and resurrected by Dmitri Yuriev as the mothership for Omega, a weapon created to combat Ormus. Its length exceeds 100 kilometers, and its destructive power could easily destroy an entire planet. All of its active weaponry utilizes the excess energy generated from Merkabah's operation; from this we can conclude it was most likely originally designed as a "support device," and not as a solitary weapon. Proto Merkabah, this ship's prototype, was used by Joachim Mizrahi as the plant for MOMO's creation. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Proto Merkabah, Y-Data, Omega Res Novae >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB257)-Phase Transfer Cannon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A weapon that destroys everything in the vicinity by creating a phase transfer. It can potentially even destroy a star. Normally, the bulk of the cannon has been reduced to Planck scale, but by receiving a phase transfer system activation key from a PT cartridge, the bulk of the cannon can materialize into real space. What appears to be a handgun is actually part of the phase transfer cannon; once the system has been activated, it serves as both a trigger and laser locking device. Because KOS-MOS fired the weapon while limiting the phase transfer mass, the spatial anomaly increased in size, causing the Song of Nephilim to appear. --Link: KOS-MOS, PT Cartridge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB258)-Target Drone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Unmanned craft treated as enemy units within combat simulations. Nowadays, it is rare to train using actual physical combat; mock combat in a combat simulation program running within the U.M.N. is more common. Targets emulating enemy units within these programs are called target drones. --Link: A.M.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB259)-Secondary Weapons System >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KOS-MOS's main combat equipment; this refers to her current armament, frame material, and substitute armor materials. The Secondary Weapons System made experimental use of a PT cartridge-type phase transfer cannon; the limited unit size, however, meant that the places and situations in which it could be used were restricted. For this reason, the Tertiary Weapons System, with a phase transfer unit installed as standard equipment, was produced on Second Miltia. --Link: KOS-MOS, Phase Transfer Cannon, Tertiary Weapons System, PT Cartridge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB260)-Tertiary Weapons System >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KOS-MOS's optional weaponry, consisting of two phase transfer cannons, one on each shoulder. It was designed by Kavin while he was still alive and built at Vector Second R&D Division on Second Miltia. Because the phase transfer cannon units are made to be as compact as possible, the recoil when the are fired is very high; the Version 2 KOS-MOS [Combat Frame] is required to ire these weapons. The PT cartridge-type phase transfer cannon used by KOS-MOS when the Song of Nephilim appeared had been created as a testbed for these cannons. When the cannons are fired, a cooling field in the shape of glowing wings is created behind the unit. --Link: KOS-MOS, Phase Transfer Cannon, PT Cartridge, Kevin Winnicot, KOS-MOS [Combat Frame], Vector Second R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB261)-Anti-U-DO Shift >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Even among the UTRVs created to counter U-DO, Jr.'s anti-U-DO waveforms are especially strong. Once Jr. awakens as an anti-U-DO entity, he transforms into what's known as Red Dragon mode. This destructive impulse comes from Jr. losing self-control out of sheer anger; once he transforms into this mode, he cannot restrain his power. Jr. fears this power, as it could possibly destroy all that he holds dear. The details of the other URTVs' anti-U_DO shifts are still unrevealed. Gaignun and Citrine have a power which is closely related to Red Dragon mode, but the facts behind the situation are unknown. --Link: Citrine, Jr., URTV, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms, Red Dragon, Gaignun Kukai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB262)-Mobile Dinah Interface >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An optional weapon designed to improve KOS-MOS's mobility. On the outside, it looks like a monobike, but it's actually a versatile mobile device capable of air and space flight, as well as transfer flight. It also doubles as a simple maintenance box and functions as a main processor and weapons module for the E.S. Dinah. --Link: KOS-MOS, E.S. Dinah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB263)-D.S.S.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Short for "Double-Slit Sensory System." A sensory system developed by Vector Industries that can detect the Gnosis; also known as an imaginary space detection system. Fundamentally, its workings are similar to the double-slit photon experiment, a common example found in quantum physics. For that reason, its structure is composed of two slit-shaped camera surfaces. This system is equipped on KOS-MOS and A.G.W.S.s, as well as the sensory parts of some weapons. --Link: KOS-MOS, A.G.W.S., Vector Industries, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB264)-Designer Children >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Humans who have been genetically enhanced during the early stages of the conception. They are referred to as Salvator (Savior), and their appearance, intelligence, and physical attributes have all been enhanced. Their widespread creation was designed to counter the Immigrant Fleet, which is able to use a part of the Zohar's abilities. The Life Recycling Law, approved in T.C. 4591, was actually created in order to mask this process. The first Salvator, Dmitri Yuriev, was behind this action. In a broader sense of the term, Jr., Mary, Shelley, and Andrew could also be categorized as "designer children." --Link: Jr., Dmitri Yuriev, Salvator, Life Recycling Law, Andrew Cherenkov, Shelley Godwin, Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB265)-PT Cartridge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A cartridge that acts as a key to activate a phase transfer cannon.

The word "prodigium" means "miracle." --Link: Ormus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB269)-Point Man >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When an incident or accident occurs within virtual space, this group leads the investigation by gathering information regarding conditions within virtual space or the enemy's situation. They work efficiently to solve the case by finding the enemy as quick as possible and relaying information regarding the enemy's position to primary allied forces. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB270)-Macrophage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A program that recognizes trespassers automatically and expels them from virtual space. Destruction by this program implies that the invader's mind is being destroyed as well; it has been confirmed that the real-world mental failure of the trespasser occurs when this takes place. The program's name is taken from the macrophage cell that ingests bacteria which have entered a human body. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB271)-URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An acronym for "U-DO Retro Virus." Weapons equipped with anti-U-DO waveforms and designed to annihilate U-DO. They are organic weapons (designer children) based on the genetic information of Dmitri Yuriev, who planned the project. In order to create an anti-U-DO waveform, multiple URTVs must link up with the link master. A total of 669 units were created, each holding a serial number from 001 to 669. During the third descent operation of the Miltian Conflict, serial numbers in the 500s and 600s were sent in. According to records, both male and female URTVs existed; however, the female URTVs were more unstable than the male ones, and most were disposed of during training. Intended for deployment as weapons, URTVs were designed to be well-balanced, both emotionally and in their ability. However, the existence of several high-spec individuals far exceeding standard parameters has been confirmed. These are called variant URTVs, and they are likely to have different mission assignments than standard URTVs. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Designer Children, U-DO, Link Master, Standard URTV, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB272)-Infected URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A standard URTV which has come into contact with U-DO and suffered a mental breakdown. Because its mind has been destroyed, it cannot make decisions normally and simply attacks repeatedly and reflexively. --Link: URTV, U-DO, Standard URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB273)-URTV Unit Number 623 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Standard URTV number 623 was assigned with Rubedo and the others on the mission to dive into Sakura's subconscious domain through the U.M.N. in order to cure her sensory impairment congenital disorder. However, the visualization of Sakura's fear as U-DO waveforms caused many standard URTVs to be transformed into infected URTVs. Number 623 managed to avoid the worst-case scenario, but he received a near-death injury from an enraged Albedo in retaliation for the other infected standard URTVs having attacked and injured Rubedo. --Link: URTV, Infected URTV, Standard URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB274)-URTV Unit Number 666 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The 666th variant URTV to be born at the Yuriev Institute. Because he was born with red hair, he was named Rubedo, a name taken from C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy," in which "rubedo"refers to the process of a substance turning red. He was born a conjoined twin, his back attached to unit number 667, Albedo. Rubedo was the first variant URTV to be born at the Institute and possessed a much stronger anti-U-DO waveform than standard-URTVs. He united the URTVs as a leader figure. As children, his younger brother Albedo never left his side. Rubedo watched over him with kindness at times and discipline at others. however, their relationship turned disastrous when the URTV force faced U-DO, and Rubedo foresaw Miltia and the URTVs' future. Understanding everything, Rubedo cut off the mental link between the URTVs, fearful that his existence would be erased. As a result, the standard URTVs and Albedo became infected by U-DO. To this day, Rubedo is tormented by guilt for having cut off the mental link. --Link: Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO, Albedo Piazzolla, Standard URTV, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB275)-URTV Unit Number 667 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The 667th variant URTV to be born at the Yuriev Institute. Because he was born with white hair, he was named Albedo, a name taken from C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy," in which "albedo"refers to the process of a substance turning white. He was born attached at the back of unit number 666, Rubedo. These type of twins are called conjoined twins, but conjoined twins created by artificial insemination are extremely rare. When they were separated, their abilities were shifted in opposite direction, but Rubedo and Albedo's ability to stop or accelerate cell replication are fundamentally the same. Rubedo was born with the ability to stop the cell aging process, but he was not immortal. Albedo was born with the ability to accelerate cell replication to amazing speeds; even if his head or heart were completely destroyed, it would always be regenerated. Albedo was not aware, that Rubedo and Nigredo did, of course, not share this ability. When he found out, he was greatly shocked to learn he was the only one to have an immortal existence. This special ability is activated not by control of the cells of one's own body, but by accessing the structure of the U.M.N. itself. Albedo's mental state has been unstable from the start, but it has been even more unstable ever since the day he learned the he could not die. To Albedo, this world was nothing but a painful prison in which he would have to continue living even if his loved ones were to die. His greatest fear was losing his other self, Rubedo. And when Rubedo released his hand, cutting off the mental link, Albedo came into contact with U-DO, and finally stepped past the point of no return. --Link: Rubedo, Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB276)-URTV Unit Number 668 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The 668th variant URTV to be born at the Yuriev Institute. Citrine's URTV identification number. --Link: Citrine, Yuriev Institute, URTV, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB277)-URTV Unit Number 669 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The 669th variant URTV to be born at the Yuriev Institute. Because he was born with black hair, he was named Nigredo, a name taken from C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy," in which "nigredo" refers to the process of a substance turning black. He was the last of the 669 URTV units to be created, and possesses far stronger mental waves and mind-control ability than standard URTVs, as well as the ability to repel U-DO waveforms. Even as a child, he was calm and mature. He often spent time with Albedo and Rubedo; however, because of their strong connection, he sometimes felt left out. Nigredo was assigned two special missions. One was to prevent the Red Dragon from going out of control and to bring it down if necessary. This mission was also assigned to URTV unit number 668 Citrine. The other was a secret mission closely related to his father, Yuriev. However, Nigredo abandoned this mission and shot Yuriev to death. The details of this incident are still unknown. --Link: Citrine, Rubedo, Yuriev Institute, URTV, URTV Number 668, U-DO, Red Dragon, Albedo Piazzolla, Dmitri Yuriev, Standard URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB278)-Standard URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Of the 669 URTV units created at the Yuriev Institute, units number 001 to 665 are considered standard URTV units. Since the URTVs are based on Dmitri Yuriev's genetic information, the standard units all have the same hair color, face and body type as Yuriev. They almost completely lack a sense of self and individuality, unlike variant URTVs. Also, the possess weak anti-U-DO waveforms and are easily affected by it. The phenomenon of URTVs transforming into infected URTVs was confirmed within Sakura's subconscious domain. the visualization of Sakura's fear as U-DO waveforms caused standard URTVs to unexpectedly become infected, but Rubedo and the other variant URTVs were unaffected. Many standard URTVs look with envy and malice upon the variant URTVs, who were born with strong anti-U-DO waveforms and special abilities and receive special treatment. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms, Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB279)-Variant URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Of the URTVs created at the Yuriev Institute, the four surviving units--URTV unit number 666, URTV unit number 667, URTV unit number 668, and URTV unit number 669--are known as variant URTVs. Due to induced mutations, they were born with special abilities; they have exponentially more powerful U-DO anti-existence waveforms and mental waves. The hair color of each is unique, as well, and they were named after these colors. Their names were taken from C.G. Jung's psychological terms for the "reddening," "whitening," "yellowing," and "blackening" processes. Other URTVs are called standard URTVs. They lack individuality and possess much weaker anti-U-DO waveforms. --Link: Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms, URTV Unit Number 666, URTV Unit Number 667, URTV Unit Number 668, URTV Unit Number 669, Standard URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB280)-Rhine Maiden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A Vector-developed specialized anti-Gnosis weapon installed on board the Dämmerung, as well as the three Woglinde-class cruisers, Wellgunde, Floßhilde, and the Wuglinde II. When these ships attack in unison, the power of the weapon is showcased to its fullest.

After Tethlla's death, his daughter Mai re-tuned the Auto-Tech so that it could equip firearms. After being tuned, Leupold no longer resembles a labor Auto-Tech, and its weaponry exceeds even that of military-use heavy A.M.W.S.s. --Link: Tethlla Magus, Dabrye Mine, A.M.W.S., Auto-Tech, Mai Magus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB282)-Logical Drive >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A new type of spaceship propulsion that replaces the traditional system of reactionary repulsion by reconfiguring the spacial phase around the direction of travel. It takes substantial energy to operate, but since the device itself is relatively easy to miniaturize, the system is used by manned units equipped with transfer-type generators, such as A.G.W.S.s. --Link: A.G.W.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB283)-Logical Drive Pod >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name of an expansion drive used mainly by small mobile weapons without independent flight capability or by small spaceships to perform a gate jump. There is no uniform standard; instead, there are various types suited for different uses and situations, such as the one used by the E.S. Asher during the Miltian descent operation, and the E.S. Dinah's flight unit. --Link: Gate Jump ==================================================== [B036] Organizations ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB284)-Immigrant Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the space fleets that escaped Earth when Lost Jerusalem disappeared. During an extended period of nomadic existence, the fleet's scope expanded and split apart, and each splinter fleet emigrated to a newly discovered settlement area. At the start of the T.C. 4000s, it reunited with another fleet that had escaped from Earth--a group that had already formed a united organization of nations in the form of the Galaxy Federation. The two groups began mutual exchanges, but their backgrounds and cultural disparities were too much to bridge. Most importantly of all, the Immigrant Fleet was in possession of the Zohar. This led to a history of wars and truces that has repeated itself countless times. In the story, the Immigrant Fleet is mostly perceived as identical to Ormus, but this is not always true. The influence of Ormus doctrine has been diluted amongst some Immigrant Fleet splinter groups, and many have begun their own form of self-rule. These groups have advanced a policy of reconciliation with the Federation, and they would later join the Federation organization. It would appear that the Immigrant Fleet does not consist entirely of pious worshipers swearing allegiance to Ormus. --Link: Lost Jerusalem, Ormus, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB285)-V.L.V. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An illegal anti-U.M.N. organization that operated from a base on planet Abraxas. its name is short for "Veritas Liberabit Vos," which directly translates as "The Truth Shall Set You Free." The name is thought to have been intended as a jab at the human race, which had lost sight of the truth after placing excessive amounts of faith in too much technology, starting with the U.M.N.. Along with Melisse Ortus, the group would later become central to he formation of Scientia, an anti-U.M.N. group spanning the entire Galaxy Federation. --Link: Melisse Ortus, U.M.N., Planet Abraxas, Scientia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB286)-Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The largest corporate entity in the Federation, involved with the production and distribution of nearly every item related to culture and civilization, from food and pharmaceuticals to software, hardware, and even weapons and communications. It is divided into many departments, with the First R&D Division, Second R&D Division, and Thrid R&D Division forming its core. Wilhelm is the company's Chief Executive Officer; its base is the Dämmerung, a free orbiting colony whose length extends 1000 kilometers. It has total control over communications and military affairs, from U.M.N. construction and Realian development to the production of A.G.W.S.s and KOS-MOS. Wilhelm, its CEO, used to work as Executive Committee Director, giving him major clout with both the Federation government and the governments of the assorted autonomous states. Vector's long history can be traced all the was back to the ancient age of Lost Jerusalem. The excavation of the Zohar in Lake Turkana was carried out under Vector sponsorship, and Vector also handled the later analysis of the Original Zohar. The name Wilhelm is listed as the company's leader from that time, but it is unclear what connection this person may have with the current CEO. --Link: Wilhelm, KOS-MOS, U.M.N., Realian, Dämmerung, Lost Jerusalem, A.G.W.S., Vector First R&D Division, Vector Second R&D Division, Vector Third R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB287)-Special Technology Advancement >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vector's Special Technology Advancement Division, managed in partnership with the government. It researched the structure of a space-wide network and developed the foundations of the U.M.N.. After handing over U.M.N. administration and management to the Federation government, it was supposedly eliminated, with U.M.N. support delegated to other departments. However, during the Gnosis terrorism, there was evidence that someone acting in the name of the department had carried out administration in S-Division, where Grimoire was hiding, and deliberately intervened to help Grimoire. Actually, someone is even now administrating parts of S-Division, an act with the tacit approval of Vector's top officials. --Link: U.M.N., S-Line Division, Vector Industries, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB288)-Vector First R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The department devoted to the research and development of many types of software, from KOS-MOS (a project headed by Shion's group) to the IT software that is KOS-MOS's control program. Commonly referred to as First Division. Originally, it was involved with U.M.N. administration as a joint government-private sector business; the Structure Law devised by Carnegie, its supervisor at the time, led to the further grow of the U.M.N.. Since the U.M.N. administration bureau was transferred to the government, its primary tasks have become the development of industrial-use super-AIs, computer chips, and the software that comes with them. --Link: KOS-MOS, U.M.N., Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB289)-Vector Second R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The department devoted to the development and production of ships and A.G.W.S.s for the Federation Fleet. Commonly referred to as Second Division. It also handles the job of taking weaponry in the testing phase from the Tactical Sim Lab and fitting them onto experimental units and ships. After arriving at Second Miltia, Shion had KOS-MOS transferred to Second Division in order to apply her Tertiary Weapons System, which had already been in development for a long time. --Link: A.G.W.S., Tertiary Weapons System, Tactical Sim Lab >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB290)-Vector Third R&D Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The department devoted to the development, production, education, and sale of Realians. Commonly referred to as Thrid Division. Even after being sold, Realians are obligated to visit on a regular basis for counseling and maintenance. --Link: Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB291)-Ormus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The general term for the religious order that unites the Immigrant Fleet. It has an organizational structure resembling the Vatican of the Middle Ages. It was established long ago, during the Lost Jerusalem era, and already existed as a group by approximately A.D. 40. Its main goal was to protect the sacred relics and the words of God that had been left by the Messiah; it holds different doctrines, taken from the world religions that would later break off from it, and carries out its own set of sacraments. --Link: Lost Jerusalem, Immigrant Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB292)-Kukai Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A special foundation organized 13 years ago, with the Second Miltian autonomous state leading the effort. Based on a giant, non-orbital colony, most of its membership is composed of victims of the Life Recycling Law. Its Representative Trustees are Gaignun Kukai and Gaignun Jr.. It was established after the Miltian Conflict with the goal of putting down the U-TIC Organization, with the Second Miltian government leading in its creation. Afterwards, it was disarmed and made into a foundation, receiving a huge capital injection from Vector in the process. Its achievements in rescuing Life Recycling Law victims and offering them livelihoods were recognized, and soon the Foundation had earned itself a positive reputation in society. Ever since a part of it was commercialized, its main business has been in the entertainment and travel industries, but it has a hidden face--amongst other things, it accepted a request from the Second Miltian government and Contact Subcommittee to recover and manage the Zohar emulators. --Link: Gaignun Kukai, Life Recycling Law, Second Miltia, Zohar Emulator, Jr., Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB293)-Public Safety Commission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A subgroup of the Federation Parliament. It is organized under a council system, borrowed from similar groups that existed during the Lost Jerusalem era, in order to democratically maintain police administrations. While also functioning as the superior body of the regional police forces established in every planetary nation, its main duties include investigating crimes that impact the entire galaxy, conducting autonomous Galaxy Federation probes, training investigators, and all other police work that requires unified execution across the entire galaxy. As a rule, it does not directly commend or oversee police activity, but instead governs police administrations through the Federation Police organization. the C.P.C. would later split off from the Public Safety Commission, in order to intensify the investigation of U.M.N.-related crimes. --Link: U.M.N., Galaxy Federation, C.P.C., Federation Parliament, Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB294)-J.M.I. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An artificial placenta facility in the Draper section of planet Abraxas. Short for "Jacob Medical Imprinting." This facility was shut down when the Life Recycling Law was abolished following the slaughter of a huge number of fetuses by Voyager. All information that had been gathered by the facility was confiscated by the Yuriev Institute and is said to have later formed the cornerstone of raising the URTVs. --Link: Voyager, Draper, Yuriev Institute, Planet Abraxas, URTV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB295)-Ziggurat Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A company that developed its business by specializing in the fields of cybernetics and biotechnology. Its leading products were the cyborgs known as the Ziggurat Series. However with a dwindling pool of cyborg body donors, the abolishment of the Life Recycling Law, and the replacement of lost tissue in accident victims and other critical patients being taken over by procedures incorporating Realian technology (formerly covered by cyborg surgery), the company decided to eliminate its cybernetics section. Ziggy is the final version cyborg in the Ziggurat series. Currently it has started work in the field of nanotechnology, with a special commitment to nanomaterials research. It has made major contributions to science and health care, including the refinement of highly conductive, durable materials and the development of medicines that suppress the proliferation of dangerous viruses. --Link: Ziggy, Cyborg, Life Recycling Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB296)-Autonomous State >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Every star system has an autonomous state government, each with its own administration and legislature based on the Federation central government. These tens of thousands of autonomous states come together to form the Galaxy Federation. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB297)-Executive Committee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The inner core and highest decision-making body of the Federation central government, which is, in turn, formed of representatives from hundreds of thousands of autonomous states. Decision-making is handled by an Executive Committee assembly of 24 Senior Representatives. Its current director is Dmitri Yuriev. Wilhelm, CEO of Vector Industries, once served as Executive Committee Director; even now, he continues to have a large influence on the assembly. --Link: Wilhelm, Dmitri Yuriev, Autonomous State >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB298)-Scienta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An underground organization formed by a person named Melisse Ortus in T.C. 4669 as a coalition of the anti-U.M.N. groups that had been established across the galaxy. Even as an underground group, its scope is large; it uses proprietary network technology located throughout the Galaxy Federation to interact with the U.M.N. and to search for the truth behind it and Vector. --Link: Melisse Ortus, U.M.N., Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB299)-Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A gigantic federal state, established by mankind upon leaving Earth, composed of approximately 500,000 autonomous state star systems, its capital planet is Fifth Jerusalem. It is formed of about 500,000 planetary nations.the presence of the U.M.N., which made possible huge reductions in physical and temporal constraints compared to earlier modes of transport and communication, was an enormous influence in the formation of such a large-scale, far-reaching federation. The Executive Committee is its highest decision-making body. --Link: Fifth Jerusalem, Autonomous State, Executive Committee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB300)-Contact Subcommittee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A research committee established by the Federation government in T.C. 4754 to respond the Gnosis phenomenon. Seven expert members, including Representative Juli Mizrahi, serve as the group's central core. Together with the other committee members, the so-called "subcommittee" numbers over 2000 people. The implementation of the Zohar Project, the recovery of the Original Zohar, and the analysis of the Y-Data were all advanced by the Contact Subcommittee, which was at the center of each project. Once Dmitri Yuriev returned to the Federation Parliament, implementation work on the Zohar Project was transferred to the military, and the Subcommittee participated in the project as a supporting player. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Juli Mizrahi, Zohar Project, Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB301)-Tactical Sim Lab >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A department within Vector, its role is to conduct tactical-level operational tests and assessment examination on the arms and weaponry that have been developed. Its official title is the Vector Tactical Simulations Laboratory. Its mission is not only to test, but, depending on the situation, also to conduct research and development into new technology. Within Vector, it is classified as a regular development section. --Link: Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB302)-117th Marine Division >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Federation Marine division with which the Woglinde was affiliated as it set off to investigate the disappearance of planet Ariadne. Marine headquarters are on planet Tessedora, located in the most remote region of space from the Galaxy Federation's capital planet. As a result, the deployment of anti-Gnosis 100-Series Observational Units was delayed, and the Woglinde was made to meet a disastrous end. Marine headquarters are far removed from the Federation's strategic zone, making it difficult for the Federation to execute proper oversight. The 117th Marine Division had been infiltrated by many people from the U-TIC Organization. --Link: Woglinde >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB303)-1875th Special Ops Command >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The unit in the Federation Police whose mission was to track down and arrest U.M.N. terrorist Voyager. The Abraxas detachment was a strike force sent to neutralize Voyager. The Federation Police organization, existing a a subgroup of the Federation Public Safety Commission, is composed of the Administrative Director's Office (Section 1), the General Safety Section (Section 2), the First Security Section (Section 4), the Traffic Control Section (Section 4), the Second Security Section (Section 5), and the Information and Communications Section (Section6), along with other affiliated organizations and regional police forces. Special Ops Command Headquarters belongs to Section 6; it is said that the total number of special ops commands across the galaxy numbers into the thousands. --Link: Voyager, Public Safety Commission, Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB304)-34th Special Transport Troop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A special transport force affiliated with the U-TIC Organization. As it was transporting combat Realians into Labyrinthos, it fell under attack by a Federation drop unit and was destroyed. The combat Realians that this force had been transporting had been recalibrated on Proto Merkabah to go out of control. The U-Tic Organization used these Realians to set of the Miltian Conflict. --Link: U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB305)-C.P.C. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The C.P.C., or the Communication Promotion Committee, is a subgroup of the Federation Parliament. Dedicated to the administration and the promotion of the U.M.N. and the communications industry. Originally, it was part of the Public Safety Commission. However, Dmitri Yuriev, who would later serve as the new committee's Representative, proposed that it be split off. Yuriev used his authority to form the fictitious Descendants of Nestorius terrorist group and to place assorted pressures on forces within the Federation Parliament that opposed his power. The Communication Promotion Committee also held close connections with the Federation Police Information and Communications Section; the verbal clout wielded by its Representative had a major influence on the structure of the police themselves. This fact was likely aided by the committee's history as a splinter group from the Public Safety Commission. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, U.M.N., Public Safety Commission, Federation Parliament, Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB306)-Nexus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A company that developed its business around the production and sale of synthetic animals, the Nexus Series. The bodily structure of a synthetic animal is largely composed of the same materials as a Realian, s synthetic human. However, Nexus does not produce any humanoid Realians. As loss-of-control accidents and human-rights issues piled up around humanoid Realians after the Miltian Conflict, the production and sale of synthetic animals and expansion of the pet industry became a far lower-risk approach to stable profits. What's more, since a sharp decline in fertility has led to purebred animals being bought and sold at high prices, the family-friendly price structure of Nexus's synthetic animals is now part of the reason that the series has been continually popular for several centuries. --Link: Realian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB307)-Hyams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A gigantic conglomerate that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Vector. Originally a corporate entity affiliated with the Immigrant Fleet, it changed its name to "Hyams Heavy Industries" after being admitted to the Federation. Its Representative is Heinlein, a man with a seat as an Ormus Cardinal. --Link: Heinlein, Immigrant Fleet, Ormus, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB308)-Anti-Patriarch Faction >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A term used to refer to people who took a negative opinion of the policies of Julius XVIII. In the latter half of the T.C. 4600s, Immigrant Fleet Patriarch Julius XVIII proposed that planet Abraxas, which was in possession of the Zohar, should be split with the Galaxy Federation and governed by both entities. However, at the time, the Immigrant Fleet and Galaxy Federation were waging a continued internal power struggle over the Zohar, and not many agreed with Patriarch Julius's decision to press forward with his policy of appeasement. --Link: Julius XVIII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB309)-Zohar Project >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A major anti-Gnosis project implemented by the Galaxy Federation government and affiliated organizations. It originally began with research into using the Original Zohar as an energy generator, but the project's coverage was partially altered in order to deal with the Gnosis phenomenon and its rapidly accelerating expansion. Currently, the Contact Subcommittee is playing the central role in its implementation. As the name suggests, the Original Zohar is at the center of the project; salvaging it has become urgent business. The 100-Series system, the KOS-MOS Project, and the U-DO system that the U-TIC Organization has been researching are all part of the achievements of the Zohar Project. Once Dmitri Vuriev's survival had been confirmed after the space-time anomaly in Miltian space, he took command of the project and pressed Salvator-faction Representatives to transfer project leadership from the Contact Subcommittee to the military. The content of the project soon took a strikingly different direction, leading to the development of Merkabah, Omega Res Novae, and the "T-Weapon." --Link: KOS-MOS, Dmitri Yuriev, Galaxy Federation, Contact Subcommittee, U-DO, Omega Res Novae, Original Zohar, Gnosis, 100-Series Observational Unit. Tactical Assault Ship Merkabah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB310)-U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Official name: The Unknown Territory Intervening and Creation Organization. Its previous incarnation, the Cerebral Sciences Research Center, was founded by Joachim Mizrahi; it was Joachim who proposed it be restructured into the U-TIC Organization. After becoming the U-TIC Organization, the group continued its research into the Original Zohar as an energy generator and weapon, as well as performed the development of 100-Series Observational Units, the Hilbert Effect, and combat Realians. Aiming to rule the galaxy through command of the Zohar, the group then rebelled against the Federation government and set off the Miltian Conflict. However, Labyrinthos was overrun by the Galaxy Federation descent operations, and the organization's mastermind, Joachim Mizrahi, fell to his death. After the Miltian Conflict, it vanished from the center stage of history, but the group itself survived, setting up base on the planetoid Pleroma. Gathering information and building up its military power in secret, it leapt back onto the center stage in order to obtain the Y-Data that had been sealed within the 100-Series Observational Unit prototype, MOMO. Ostensibly, the organization was founded by Joachim Mizrahi, but in truth, everything was under the direction of the Ormus Patriarch. As it was reconstructed into the U-TIC Organization, the group expelled nearly all Federation government officials and researchers, who had been stationed there as inspectors for the Cerebral Sciences Research Center. It cemented its internal staff with members of Ormus and the Old Miltia hierocracy; Hyams (a business affiliated with Ormus) joined the group, taking Vector's place in weapons development and sponsorship. At that time, even Federation Colonel Margulis, U-TIC's supreme commander, was already a member of Ormus. From this, one can see that a sizable number of Ormus members had been embedded within the Federation'S government and military. --Link: Margulis, Joachim Mizrahi, Miltian Conflict, C.S.R.C., Labyrinthos, Ormus, Hyams, Original Zohar, MOMO, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB311)-474th Spec Ops Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A fleet under the command of the U-TIC Organization's Margulis that primarily takes on special missions. It is made up of several Spec Ops ships and vessels. The fleet was mobilized to retrieve the Zohar emulators stored on the Woglinde, but failed to arrive before the emulators had been taken by the Gnosis. However, the fleet was placed on standby in the area on the orders of Margulis, who had surmised that the Kukai Foundation would move to investigate the destroyed Woglinde. It would later engage the Durandal there. Margulis did not issue a standby order to the 474th Spec Ops Fleet in order to have them defeat the Durandal. He called for the standby to create a situation wherein the Durandal would engage "something" in that region--an engagement he could them record. The U-TIC Organization would later fabricate an image of the Durandal and the destroyed Woglinde, throwing the Kukai Foundation and the Miltian autonomous government into its trap. The 474th Spec Ops Fleet took some damage during its engagement with the Durandal, but still successfully completed its mission. --Link: Margulis, U-TIC Organization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB312)-Federation Fleet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The fleet of the Galaxy Federation military, established to maintain peace and stability across all space. it destroys the enemy fleets by deploying multiple squadrons and Spec Ops ships around a central flagship. These destroyer fleets, grouped together with convoys built to escort groups of ships, supply fleets that handle procurement, and other vessels, are termed the Federation Fleet. Many of the ships that make up the Fleet were built by Vector and Hyams. Once divided into naval and space fleets, these were integrated together as the Federation Space Force. Even though the naval and space fleets are now under the command of the Federation Space Force, they both still retain their own manners and customs. --Link: Galaxy Federation, Hyams, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB313)-Federation Parliament >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An assembly where representatives from each autonomous state gather to establish governmental, planetary, and other policies. Its central assembly hall is located on the capital planet, Fifth Jerusalem. There is also a space built within the U.M.N. that is modeled after the central hall and linked with the real-life assembly. Therefore, only a very few representatives visit the Parliament on Fifth Jerusalem; most representatives participate through the U.M.N.. Different assemblies are opened depending on the issues to be discussed. The assembly on how to deal with Miltia was the same as the normal Federation Parliament, with all autonomous state representatives in assembly. There are also special assemblies (hastily summoned during emergencies) and administrative auditing assemblies that have the role of secretly investigating Galaxy Federation internal affairs and preventing corruption. In addition, there is the Executive Committee Assembly, which decides important matters of Federation law. --Link: U.M.N., Fifth Jerusalem, Autonomous State, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB314)-Federation Police >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As its official name (the Galaxy Federation Police) suggests, it is a law-enforcement agency under Galaxy Federation jurisdiction that operates in Federation-affiliated planets and regions of space. Its base is the Federation Police headquarters; it is further divided into precincts in each autonomous state. Each department and its role is fully standardized. However, there are also departments in the main headquarters that can go over the jurisdiction of the precincts in each autonomous state and conduct their own investigations. These departments handle crimes outside of regional space as well as U.M.N. crimes; one of them, the Special Ops Command Precinct Force, used to have Ziggy in its ranks. The Federation Police's mission is to cooperate with autonomous states and their precincts to maintain law and order and to protect innocent people from crime, accidents, disasters, drugs, and so forth. --Link: Ziggy, U.M.N., Autonomous State, Galaxy Federation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB315)-Federation Police Academy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A group established by the Public Safety Commission with the goal of training police officers. It divides its training process into two programs, Class A and Class B. Class A is the so-called career-policeman training academy; its goal is to train officers for work with the Federation Police organization. It handles the training of police officers, technical administrators, and research staffers. Class B academies belong to star-system precincts and mainly handle the training of regional police officers. As a rule, the Class A program appoints police academy students to lieutenant positions upon graduation, immediately giving them missions and projects to command from the field. Jan Sauer graduated from the Fifth Jerusalem Class A Police Academy with top honors. --Link: Jan Sauer, Public Safety Commission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB316)-F.S.I. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> F.S.I. is short for Federation Special Inspection, and is the Office inside the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Agency. Shion's father, Suou Uzuki, is a member of F.S.I.. As an agency of the Department of energy, its role is to govern and regulate the dangers involved with advanced technology. Due to the group's nature, it often deals in matters with major enterprises involving huge sums of money; people frequently point out cases where F.S.I. has collided with the political or financial arenas. --Link: Suou Uzuki, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB317)-Federation Council >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The legislative body, made up of tens of thousands of representatives.

In other words, when the consciousness of space begins to go out of control, chaos has the ability to expunge it, along with space itself. The Anima is the expression of that power. Long ago, half of chaos's body (the Anima) was decoupled from chaos by Mary and made into the Vessels of Anima. This saved the world from destruction, but also caused half of Mary's body (the Animus) to be dispersed across the area of the collective unconscious--in other words the U.M.N.. --Link: chaos, Mary Magdalene >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB319)-Blood of Abraxas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Planet Abraxas was a planetary nation formed by people who had descended from the Immigrant Fleet, so this term is used to refer to people who carry the blood of the Immigrant Fleet.

It is a perceptual phenomenon in the same way that the Gnosis are, but it is also a completely different form of existence. Abel's Ark (U-DO) observed Albedo's consciousness during the fall of Old Miltia. It later took in the Zohar as a connection point in order to more steadily observe the lower dimension. After Shion's awakening, the Ark's imaginary-space transformation accelerated, reflecting the consciousness of mankind. Detecting the operation of Zarathustra, an anti-higher-dimensional system constructed ages ago, it took the planet Michtam into itself. This action was not taken in an attempt to destroy Zarathustra; it was purely trying to "observe" the changes in the consciousness of the lower dimension. --Link: Abel, U-DO, Zarathustra, Planet Michtam, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB321)-Arbiter Code >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The code to release the seals on the Zohar emulators, set by Miltian Representative Helmer in order to avoid the danger of loss-of-control accidents of terrorism. Upon recovery, Zohar emulators are sealed into cages; the release codes have been implanted into the consciousness of the Godwin sisters. Without both of their release codes, not even Gaignun of Jr. can start up the emulators. --Link: Helmer, Zohar Emulator, Shelley Godwin, Mary Godwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB322)-E.S. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The general term for humanoid mobile weapons loaded with a Vessel of Anima. Their cockpits can be either single- or two-seat, depending on wether or not firing control needs to be divided between a pilot and a co-pilot. Most units equipped with a large amount of weaponry are two-seat; due to their specialized functionality, Ormus units are single-seat. The size of an E.S. is not greatly different from that of a standard A.M.W.S., but its fighting ability can be an order of magnitude greater. With the right combination of weaponry and pilot, an E.S. can hold enough combat power to be a match for a whole division of A.M.W.S. units. The chief reason given for this is the complete difference in the quality of the energy it uses for its operation, as well as the method by which that energy is supplied. A.M.W.S.s, like A.G.W.S.s, operate via pulse energy transferred from heir mother ship, making them highly reliant on their U.M.N. connection status and the condition of the mothership. This leads to the amount of energy that can be supplied in a given amount of time to be necessarily limited. This holds especially true when the mothership has been destroyed in battle; in such a case, basically the only recourse for a unit is to operate using its internal condenser and auxiliary co-generator. However, since the firearms and logical drive installed in each unit were designed under the assumption they would be receiving a large supply of pulse energy from a mothership, it becomes impossible to operate everything at full spec. On the other hand, since E.S. units operate on energy supplied by the Zohar via the Vessel of Anima interface, their supply of energy is inherently limitless. they are not reliant on the status or location of a mother ship, which makes their operating radius and weaponry they can use in battle practically unlimited. (Of course, it is rarly the case that they use weaponry so overly enormous that it severely reduces their mass balance and mobility.) The only disadvantage is that an unqualified pilot is unable to link the Vessel of Anima with the Zohar and therefore cannot even start up the unit. There are only a very few qualified pilots in the entire galaxy; as a result, E.S. operation seems to be naturally limited to tactical-level operations. --Link: Vessel of Anima, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB323)-E.S. Asher >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> chaos and Jr.'s unit. Customized for Jr.'s use. A versatile unit capable of handling both ground and air combat, it is prepared with weaponry that can handle all aspects of battle. It is equipped with the Erde Kaiser's generator as an auxiliary unit. Though auxiliary, the generator--originally fully tuned to operate the Erde Kaiser--outputs a ludicrous amount of power; enough to operate all weaponry trouble-free at full spec without a Vessel of Anima. As it escaped from Zarathustra, the Asher restarted itself through this generator--despite having lost its Vessel of Anima. The generator is also outfitted with a self-destruct device to keep its secrets protected. --Link: chaos, Jr., Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB324)-E.S. Issachar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pellegri's unit. It was primarily built for multiple simultaneous multi-directional Ether attacks, making it one of the most air-combat capable Ormus units. The Ether connection base can also be operated as a flexible shield. It is equipped with a spear for close-range defense. --Link: Pellegri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB325)-E.S.

Its light armor is offset by its mobility. --Link: Richard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB326)-E.S. Simeon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Albedo's unit. Equipped with a long tail stabilizer which functions as a logical drive, its forte is high-mobility combat. Its ability to deal with any battle situation, short or long-range, makes it an almighty unit. It was built as a military factory in Labyrinthos on Miltia. After becoming a Testament, Albedo switched his Vessel of Anima over for use in a new unit, but its name and basic specs remain the same. --Link: Vessel of Anima, Albedo Piazzolla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB327)-E.S. Zebulun >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ziggy and MOMO's unit. Customized for MOMO's use. It specializes in long-range gun combat and has been installed with a great deal of firepower. Its mobility lags behind other E.S. units, but it covers for this drawback with its multi-directional Ether attacks. Even with its two-seat structure, the enormous amount of weaponry installed would be completely impossible for a normal co-pilot to handle- It is safe to say that this task could only be managed by MOMO, a 100-Series Observational Unit. --Link: Ziggy, E.S., MOMO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB328)-E.S.

When in its cruising configuration with the shield folded, its mobility rivals that of the Simeon. --Link: Voyager >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB329)-E.S. Dinah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It was built by Kevin as a supplementary weapon for KOS-MOS, but never officially registered. Shion accompanies KOS-MOS in the E.S. Dinah. Within Vector, it was never treated as anything more than a piece of equipment with which to gather data for the KOS-MOS Project. Its value as a machine has already depreciated in full. As a result, Shion as been allowed to operate it on her own authority; however it is still an E.S., Wilhelm later officially requested it be loaned to the Kukai Foundation. The unit's characteristics include its long travel range (on the level of a space cruiser) and its high speed and mobility in battle. It also has an ample array of firepower; the X-Buster, made available when the unit is operated in conjunction with KOS-MOS, is especially worth noting. Although it has a two-seat cockpit, when not docked with KOS-MOS, Shion handles everything from unit control to firearms herself, apparently having made the lower seat into a simple navigational station. The unit's head contains a docking connector for a mobile Dinah interface. --Link: Wilhelm, KOS-MOS, E.S., Kevin Winnicot, Shion Uzuki, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB330)-E.S.

It has a transforming mechanism that lets it go into a cruising configuration. --Link: E.S., Luis Virgil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB331)-E.S. Judah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kevin's unit. Its forte is close-range mobile combat. It is equipped with two knives that can directly access the U.M.N.'s physical phenomena structure in order to cut any material presence in two, making it practically impossible to defend against. The only countermeasure is to access the U.M.N. structure in the same way as Kevin and to block it "over there," However, that is only possible for those limited few with that ability; in other words, those qualified to pilot E.S. units. Consequently, one can see battles between E.S.'s less as involving direct combat between physical phenomena (the material world) and more as essentially attacking and defending in the world of consciousness. --Link: E.S., Kevin Winnicot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB332)-E.S.

It was designed to be a versatile unit capable of waging battle at both short and long ranges, but all long-range weaponry was removed at Margulis's request; instead it was equipped with a long sword. It has also been equipped with two intimidation weapons: a throwing weapon similar to a kunai, and a small throwable high explosive.

Despite being part of a department, the group is practically independent from the Curia. It handles the guarding of holy relics (like the Zohar and Vessels of Anima) and the judgement of heretics; by the T.C. 4600s, it had grown to a group with military power practically equivalent to a Galaxy Federation fleet. It naturally holds a singular position within the religious organization, and the Cardinal that leads it is said to have verbal clout and influence that rivals the Patriarch. It retains two sets of hierarchical ranks: one for its activities as a military group, and another for within Ormus. Special ranks within Ormus include Chief Inquisitor, Chief Soldier-Priest, and High Priest. It holds close ties with the Department of Sacraments, which carries out research on relics. --Link: Patriarch, Ormus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB337)-U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Unus Mundus Drive Operation System. said to be a control AI originally created as a U.M.N. navigational device, it was refitted by Joachim Mizrahi as a Zohar command device. According to Vector records, the history of link experiments with U-DO extends back to the Lost Jerusalem era; apparently, it has been recognized as a wave based existence since far before the development of the U.M.N.. Even today, details on U-DO have not been revealed. It is thought to be a consciousness that exists in a different dimension from our own, and deeply intertwined with the space-time anomaly,touched off by the Zohar and its going out of control. The U-TIC Organization, knowing that certain people are able to make contact with this wave existence, gathered test subjects with this contact ability and conducted Zohar operational experiments. They tried to use them to complete a so-called "U-DO system," but in the end, it merely led to the Zohar going out of control. --Link: Joachim Mizrahi, U.M.N., Lost Jerusalem, U-TIC Organization, Vector Industries, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB338)-U-DO Simulator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A system built by the Yuriev Institute, mainly used for URTV link experiments, that creates artificial U-DO waves within the Encephalon. This simulator was also used to conduct adjustment of the URTV's anti-waveforms. Although the U-DO waves this system produces are purely artificial, there have been several accidents during Encephalon drills that have caused standard URTVs to become infected. The U-DO waveform sample on which this system was based was provided by Dmitri Yuriev, the person in charge of the facility. It has not been revealed when he procured this sample. --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Link Experiment, Yuriev Institute, URTV, U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB339)-Omega Id >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When Omega Universitas' generator power rises, the unit automatically transforms into this configuration to increase its durability. This rise in generator power is executed by reading the pilot's nerve impulses. --Link: Omega Universitas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB340)-Omega Universitas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> An Omega-type test unit of an interstellar strategic integrated weapon system, independently developed from a concept procured by the Galaxy Federation government from the Immigrant Fleet nation. The freshly rolled-out unit was seized during the Miltian Conflict by the U-TIC Organization from a weapons plant under Federation jurisdiction. Although the unit's miniaturized body successfully lengthened its continuous operational time, the maximum power of its installed generator far exceeds its endurance rating. As a result, it was completed with a continuous operational time lower than what had been assumed at the start of development. In order to ameliorate its fragility, the unit is installed with a system that will transform itself into a configuration that can withstand the power of its generator as it rises. This revolutionary system reads the pilot's nerve impulses and automatically executes the transformation as his reaction speed to the unit increases. Unfortunately, the potential of this unit rests entirely on the mental state of the pilot. Faced with the danger of it going out of control if the pilot's nerve impulses become unbalanced, it is currently in the custody of the Special Weapons Development Sector of the Consolidated Advanced Technology Testing Ground as an unmanned unit, with an imitation personality installed as its pilot. --Link: Immigrant Fleet, Galaxy Federation, Omega Res Novae >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB341)-Omega Metempsychosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The ultimate Omega configuration, a mutation that resulted from taking in the Zohar and completely reconstructing the Y-Data information. One of the relics of God. The external transformation that occurred when it took in the Zohar stemmed from the self-transforming mechanism in the Omega waking up from its long sleep. It is thought that the Omega existed in a form similar to this configuration during the Lost Jerusalem era. Abel has been built into the control device in the unit's core, due to the need for the higher-dimensional "power" flowing directly through the Zohar to be stabilized for dimensional space.

Recreated and partially upgraded by Dmitri Yuriev as an anti-Immigrant Fleet weapon. Although it does not house the Original Zohar itself, it uses Abel as its core module and an emulator as an auxiliary, making its power far greater than the original Proto Omega. The exterior itself is not greatly different. However since an emulator is being used in place of the Zohar at the core, functionality is unstable and at a lower power output. "[Omega] Res Novae" can be translated as "Omega Revolution" --Link: Dmitri Yuriev, Original Zohar, Proto Omega, Zohar Emulator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB343)-Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Suddenly appearing during the excavation of ruins in Kenya in the 21th century, it was soon recovered by Vector, where research on it continued. Grimoire Verum, one of the researchers, conducted a link experiment on it that failed, touching off a space-time anomaly that resulted in the annihilation of Lost Jerusalem. Research would later be picked up anew by Joachim Mizrahi; as the research wore on, assorted other people would be involved. It remained sealed away in Old Miltia for 15 years, but reappeared once more after the Y-Data was leaked and fell into the hands of Ormus Patriarch Sergius. However, it was soon caught in the subsequent space-time anomaly and swallowed up by the giant Gnosis known as Abel's Ark; its current whereabouts are unknown. -Link: Grimoire Verum, Joachim Mizrahi, Link Experiment, Lost Jerusalem, Ormus, Abel's Ark, Y-Data, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB344)-Imaginary Space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There is a theory that the space we live in is composed of two realities (and nothingness): normal space, which we are actually able to perceive, and imaginary space, which proceeds along an imaginary temporal axis we cannot perceive. The concept of imaginary time itself is a theory devised by Hawking to explain the birth of the universe without the use of singularities--without relying on the existence of God. With it, one can picture a universe without any "beginning" (the Big Bang singularity) or "end" (the Big Crunch singularity), but instead simply composed of a multi-dimensional hyperspherical surface. In this story, the Gnosis exist along this imaginary temporal axis and intervene in normal space. --Link: Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB345)-Gnosis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Non-physical beings that exist in another dimension, perceived as aliens from the viewpoint of mankind. Ordinarily, they have not materialized, so physical attacks do not affect them. When they have materialized, their constituent matter seems to consist of things like water and sodium hydroxide; why such matter would hold hostility against the human race is unclear. They have many types of external appearances; for the sake of convenience, they have been named after mythological creatures. Since they exist in "imaginary space," cut apart from normal phenomena, all attacks on them using current weaponry based on the laws of physics are ineffective. When a Gnosis attack, however, it brings the part of it attacking into local normal space. The D.S.S.S. system was developed to take advantage of this and predict the area of normal space that would be created, but its performance has been below expectations. Later, the Hilbert Effect and 100-Series Observational Units were developed by Joachim Mizrahi, making it possible for people in normal space to interact with them. Space in this world is made up of normal space and imaginary space, placed on top of each other. If you picture normal space as matter, or the body, then imaginary space can be seen as consciousness, or the mind. The word "Gnosis" refers to all forms of existence in imaginary space. All things, not just humans, have an imaginary space component, so things like the "Gnosis planet" which appears in the story also exist. In imaginary space, all consciousness is in a state of full awareness, allowing things like "another person's animosity," for example, to be directly experienced. If a human comes into contact with the fear held by imaginary space and chooses to escape or reject it, he or she is Gnosified. At first, it would appear that they act in groups, but each one moves with its own consciousness of rejection, dissipation, and proliferation; they could be seen as wandering in search of a kind of salvation. One could say that this consciousness of rejection and dissipation is putting all of space in peril. Wilhelm is attempting to concentrate all of this--the negative consciousness of man--into Zarathustra, and to awaken the eternal recurrence in order to return once again to the world mankind hoped for. --Link: Wilhelm, Joachim Mizrahi, 100-Series Observational Unit, Hilbert Effect, D.S.S.S., Zarahustra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB346)-Gnosis Transformation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A term referring to the form of a person that has come into contact with the Gnosis.

It has been held since the main Immigrant Fleet claimed sovereignty over planet Abraxas, but fewer and fewer people have known its meaning as time went by; by the T.C. 4600s, it had come to be regarded only as a simple antiquated religious ceremony. As a general rule, the conference is managed by the Immigrant Fleet nation, but the presence of the Galaxy Federation government is also seen as necessary.

In this story, it refers to the Original Zohar emulators created by the late Joachim Mizrahi. They were used by the U-TIC Organization as auxiliary Originals for the link experiments on planet Ariadne and elsewhere; however, their original role was to act as an ignition "key" to operate the Original. A total of twelve were created by Joachim, each on inscribed with the name of one of the Twelve Apostles. They went missing after the Miltian Conflict, but all twelve were recovered by the Kukai Foundation, which currently manages them. During the drill on Fifth Jerusalem, the Omega Res Novae was using an imitation emulator as its core that had been constructed by Dr. Sellers from surplus parts.

It uses a plate modeled after the Zohar discovered at Lake Turkana, set in a stone tablet on top of a base. The Compass of Order and Chaos has the ability to display the flow of consciousness in the entire universe through Zarathustra acting as the terminal point on Michtam. Wilhelm used the Compass of Order and Chaos to transmit the data collected by Program Canaan to Zarathustra. --Link: Wilhelm, KOS-MOS, Zarathustra, Program Canaan, Planet Michtam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB358)-Zarathustra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A device created by people in ancient times. The giant compass-like object is something like a control terminal; the main body is actually the crystalline structures that spread out beneath the surface of Michtam; Shion's pendant, which has the same structure, is its control key. It was originally created with the goal of invading the world of God, but Wilhelm, who has the role of "protector of lower-dimensional space" (bringing lower-dimensional space to its conclusion), added its functionality as an eternal recurrence device. In order to set off eternal recurrence, one must have control over the power of God (the power of chaos). The awakening of each Anima, as well as the guidance of Mary, who shares an emotional bond with chaos, has all been for this purpose. As observation terminals for God, Abel and the Ark (i.e. U-DO), need to be sealed in lower-dimensional space. Consequently, the ability to induce them toward Zarathustra has also been added. --Link: Abel, Wilhelm, chaos, Mary Magdalene, U-DO, Pendant, Shion Uzuki, Planet Michtam, Vessel of Anima, Abel's Ark >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB359)-Testament >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wilhelm's aides; each wears a different color of cloak. They are the post-death form of Kevin and the others; however, they are not reincarnations, but beings that have slipped the bonds of normal space--their bodies. They can exert their abilities by accessing normal space from imaginary space (their consciousness) and controlling its physical phenomena at will. By controlling physical phenomena, they also act directly upon the perception of those in normal space; you could see them as if they actually were there, even though your retinas would not be receiving any photons. Since they act directly upon the perception of their target, they will not appear in photographs or videos that rely on the action of photons (though they can act on these devices to appear in them). Once, long ago, a group of people that reacted purely to chaos' Anima power (whether these were previous incarnations of Jin, Virgil, and Voyager or the consciousness of other people entirely is unknown) guided the world to destruction. To form an anti-existence to these people who reacted purely to the power of Anima--the fail-safe of the universe--the consciousness of people were controlled and made to enter opposed-phase, resulting in the birth of the Testaments. Wilhelm does not need to shift everyone into opposed-phase in order to achieve his goal. once the mass had reached a certain critical mass, everything else will have their phases shifted in a chain reaction. The current Testaments are that certain critical mass. Wilhelm has forged a certain pact with the Testaments. This serves not just to have them do whatever he wishes, but also to supplement Wilhelm's temporal recurrence ability. (Just as the failsafe needs the power of Anima to work, Wilhelm needs the power of the opposed-phase Anima. Mary will serve as the fuse to ignite that power.) The rendezvous which Virgil shared with Febronia was everything to his existence. He wanted to feel that moment forever; he is who he is today thanks to Febronia's death--this is what h believed. Wilhelm presented Virgil with that eternal time. He also presented Albedo with the ability to make his original wish come true. On the surface, Albedo appeared to act only on the desire to destroy, but this was a form of separation anxiety; essentially, his real desire was to integrate with Jr.. Jr.'s destiny was to be used as a pawn to Dmitri's elimination of U-DO; one wonders if Albedo knew that all along. Albedo's desire to unite with Jr. was a form of protective consciousness in action--with the power of a Testament, he could face off against Dmitri to protect Jr. and ultimately realize his original goal of sharing consciousness with Jr. and gaining eternal rest. This is what Wilhelm presented to him, and that is what made him act. --Link: Wilhelm, Voyager, Albedo Piazzolla, Testament (Blue), Testament (Red), Testament (Black), Testament (White), Kevin Winnicot, Luis Virgil, Vessel of Anima >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB360)-Proto Merkabah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A giant research plant created by Joachim Mizrahi where research was conducted on 100-Series Observational Unit prototypes and the Hilbert Effect, as well as on specialized types of Realians. Originally, it was planned to serve as the mothership of Proto Omega alongside the Song of Nephilim; after losing Sakura, however, Joachim used it as a plant to create MOMO. After the Miltian Conflict, it was taken over by the Federation government and was sealed inside the Abyss, from which it was resurrected by Albedo Piazolla. It can take in Gnosis, convert them to energy, and use that energy as a weapon. If it were ever actually used, it has enough power to wipe out a combined fleet instantly.

It is shaped like a giant inverted pyramid. It was once stored within Labyrinthos, headquarters of the U-TIC Organization. Shion saw its shape from he mother's hospital room. As the name implies, the Song of Nephilim plays a song (a wavelength) which cannot be heard by normal human ears. The song is said to attract the Gnosis. The Song of Nephilim are the words of God that were recorded in the Y-Data--one of the relics. A man named Grimoire Verum analyzed these words to create the program known as Lemegeton. Joachim reconstructed fragmented version of this program as part of the U-DO system. The wavelength it emitted included the word "Nephilim" in its human-audible range, so he named the system the Song of Nephilim. The Song of Nephilim was used in the Miltian Conflict 15 years ago; however, as it had not been tuned by Joachim, its power was insufficient to bring the Zohar into operation. The Song itself does not have the power to summon the Gnosis. The Gnosis appear simply because a door has been opened onto imaginary space as the result of U-DO activating in response to the people who have made fragmentary contact with it through the Song. In fact, the Gnosis that appeared around Miltia were actually caused by a fearful and isolated young Shion linking with U-DO and bringing the Zohar into operation. --Link: Grimoire Verum, Joachim Mizrahi, Labyrinthos, U-TIC Organization, U-DO, Gnosis, Y-Data, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB368)-Whitening >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In most cases, people who come into contact with the Gnosis experience a phenomenon where their body turns white and shatters into pieces. Cases of people mutating into Gnosis after whitening, while rare, have been confirmed. During the Gnosis attack on the Woglinde, Shion and Andrew were attacked by a Gnosis and subjected to this whitening phenomenon for a short period of time. Both escaped with their lives, but Andrew would later mutate into a Gnosis. Despite the fact that everyone who has whitened will eventually Gnosify, Shion has continued to avoid this disaster even to this day. Whether or not there is a reason for this is unclear. --Link: Gnosis, Andrew Cherenkov, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB369)-Anti-U-DO Waveform >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The ability to generate waves opposite to the waves generated by U-DO. These waves could be described as canceling waves. URTVs are equipped with this ability. --Link: URTV, U-DO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB370)-Program Canaan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The general term for a group of systems that searches for people with the special "factors" necessary to become a Testament, suitable for a Vessel of Anima. Its basic outline was devised by Vector. During the dawn of Realian development, it was installed in a very small number of units and integrated into their basic brain-stem systems. Regardless of their own will, Realians who have been installed with this program have the role of judging suitable people and helping them awaken their abilities. Although these Realians are few in number, that is simply relative to the total number of Realians that have been produced, especially taking into consideration that they were meant to be deployed across the entire galaxy. Development was conducted under top secret conditions within Vector; only a limited number of top executives knew of its existence. Realians with Program Canaan implants are recovered by Vector after they have fulfilled their given role. By the mid-T.C. 4700s, over 99% of them had completed their given task; however, "Canaan," who has another role, is reportedly still deployed somewhere in the galaxy. The data collected by one Canaan is immediately uploaded to Vector's database and automatically distributed to other Canaans. Certain types of data, however, have a barrier placed on them controlling their distribution. --Link: Realian, Vessel of Anima, Testament, Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB371)-Proto Omega >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the relics of God, constructed and operated by the U-TIC Organization during the Miltian Conflict. It was originally built on Abraxas (Michtam), but was smuggled onto Miltia upon the destruction of Michtam. Afterwards, it was subjected to repeated linkage-operational tests with the Original Zohar, the deployed to intercept Federation forces during the first and second Miltian descent operations. It was set to be deployed in the third descent operation as well, but once the Gnosis appeared, it was left at the hangar in the confusion. After that, it was once again operated by Sergius XVII upon his landing on Miltia. It was recovered by Dmitri Yuriev after Miltia's destruction and underwent final refurbishment based on the Y-Data. --Link: Sergius XVII, Dmitri Yuriev, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB372)-Pendant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A crystal pendant worn by Shion. Originally a memento of Kevin's mother, who died when he was young. It was given to Shion by Kevin. It appears to have a pink object buried inside of it, making it no ordinary crystal. This object is a petal from a flower Kevin raised together with Shion as a child; he sealed it into his mother's memento as a cherished memory of his time with Shion. One can sense the strength of Kevin's feelings for Shion from this. --Link: Kevin's Mother, Kevin Winnicot, Shion Uzuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB373)-Maiden of Mary >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A past life of Shion. From the term' nuances, it can be guessed that she played some kind of supporting role in the abilities of Mary. It is thought that Shion's affinity with the Zohar doesn't originate from the blood she inherited from her mother Aoi, so much as it is a peculiarity of Shion herself, from the emotional bond she shared with Mary during the Lost Jerusalem era. --Link: Mary Magdalene, Lost Jerusalem, Aoi Uzuki, Shion Uzuki, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB374)-Joshua >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A unit owned by Wilhelm. At first glance it looks like an E.S., but it is a fundamentally different mobile weapon--it is not installed with a Vessel of Anima, but instead operates on an energy received directly from Wilhelm. Though its a mobile weapon, it is also the main reactor of the Dämmerung, and it functions as the core of Zarathustra's control system. While other E.S.'s were constructed based upon data from the relics of God, the Joshua is a brand-new craft, constructed by Wilhielm himself. The Joshua can therefore be called half of Wilhelm's body. When operating as a mobile weapon, its combat powers far exceeds that of an E.S., but it also carries a weak point: when operating as Zarathustra's control system, its functionality and combat power are greatly restricted. --Link: Wilhelm, Dämmerung, Vessel of Anima, E.S., Zarathustra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB375)-Dimension Shift >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The act of transferring space itself to another space in a different location and phase, a phenomenon that deviates from all laws of physics. Things that supposedly exist are made to disappear as if the had never been anything at all. Lost Jerusalem is thought to have been shrunk to Planck-scale size and erased from existence by a dimension shift caused by the Zohar going out of control. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB376)-Link Master >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> URTVs deploy a mental link in order to emit waves that destroy U-DO. The "link master" is the person who directs this deployment. This role was held by Rubedo, who possess strong anti-U-DO waveforms. URTVs have been conditioned to be able to form a consciousness wave that acts against U-DO. The link master sets this wave, and the other URTVs adjust their own waves to match. --Link: Rubedo, URTV, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB377)-Red Dragon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A term referring to the generation mode for the final anti-U-DO-waveform booster. Jr.'s assigned role was to use this ability to amplify waves sent by other URTV units and have them converge to annihilate U-DO's waves. Jr. can also emit this wave himself, although its power is limited. --Link: Jr., URTV, U-DO, Anti-U-DO Waveforms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB378)-Lemegeton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A Zohar control program that can create certain specified wavelengths, constructed by Vector programmer Grimoire Verum during the Lost Jerusalem era. These wavelengths affect not just Zohar operation, but also apparently the appearance of Gnosis. Grimoire used the wavelengths to control the Gnosis and set off Gnosis terrorism incidents. Lemegeton was fragmented into pieces during the Miltian Conflict and was later scattered across the U.M.N. Half a year ago, Grimoire collected all the fragments and put them back together, but it was once again lost upon his death after the Gnosis terrorism. Joachim created two Zohar control systems, the U-DO System and the Song of Nephilim, based on Lemegeton. In fact, Lemegeton is part of the ancient words that were left behind by a certain man--words that Grimoire analyzed and made into a program. The man who left behind these words several thousand years ago is chaos. --Link: Grimoire Verum, chaos, Gnosis Terrorism, Lost Jerusalem, U-DO, Gnosis, Song of Nephilim, Joachim Mizrahi, Vector Industries, Original Zohar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB379)-Y-Data >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Said to be research data related to the Zohar, left behind by the late Joachim Mizrahi. Joachim sealed it into MOMO's subconscious domain during the Miltian Conflict. In actuality, the data is a record of the words of God as inscribed by a person in ancient times; Joachim's analysis of these words was what enabled him to produce a multitude of research findings. Part of the recorded data includes U.M.N. transport code for Old Miltia, closed off 15 years ago, is recorded inside the data. Someone who obtained this code would not only be able to gate-jump to Old Miltia again, but would also be able to obtain the Original Zohar sleeping on Old Miltia. Consequently, a vicious battle unfolded between the U-TIC Organization and the Federation government over this Y-Data, with efforts on all sides concentrated on securing MOMO. After MOMO had been brought into the custody of the Contact Subcommittee, an attempt to remove the protection from the Y-Data and salvage it was undertaken at the U.M.N. administration center on Second Miltia; thanks to Albedo Piazzolla's plot, however, the analysis failed. That resulted in the data being leaked to outside sources, setting off the space-time anomaly in Miltian space. --Link: Albedo Piazzolla, Joachim Mizrahi, U-TIC Organization, MOMO, Miltia, Galaxy Federation, Original Zohar ==================================================== [B038] Town Report ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB380)-ECCM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Electronic Counter Countermeasures"--in other words anti-ECM. ECM stands for "electronic countermeasures," a weapon that interferes with electronic equipment. In contrast, ECCM attempts to nullify that interference and restore functionality. --Link: ECM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB381)-Life-Sized Bunnie Plushy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A Bunnie doll that Jr. bought for MOMO as a present. Apparently, she'd wanted it when they had been sent out shopping together on the Foundation. As a side note, Sakura Mizrahi also had this same doll, and MOMO's attachment to it may be because of her connection with Sakura's consciousness. --Link: Bunnie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB382)-Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A giant robot built by the genius scientist, the Professor. The very first model in the Erde Kaiser series. Now that Erde Kaiser has become a series, it would perhaps be appropriate to respectfully refer to it as the original Erde Kaiser. According to the Professor, its design concept is "love, courage, friendship, justice, and everything else...," a heretofore unheard of ambition, and one unlikely to be heard of again. But despite its absurd appearance at first glance, it's actually a phenomenal machine. It's built obsessively tough, and its power is, without exaggeration, unmatched and unstoppable. Its most notable feature is its "combining" design, in which four parts--Fighter, Dragon, Tank, and Cutter--join together to form Erde Kaiser. (This is likely the true main concept as a machine.) Its majestic orange body shines like the sun, and its greatest attack, the "True Ultimate Lightning Sword," boasts destructive power so great it could shatter the moon. --Link: Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB383)-Erde Kaiser Sigma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The greatest Erde Kaiser ever and the most powerful robot in the universe, created by the Professor's archrival, the Dark Professor. The name [Sigma] contains the Dark Professor's fiery passion that this is a machine that encompasses all that is Erde Kaiser--the ultimate Erde Kaiser. [Sigma]'s most notable characteristic is the fact that it has a will. It can converse with its enemies and not only threaten or persuade them, but also show pride and insult them. Dark Erde Kaiser was viewed as an imitation and was never able to shake its reputation as being a copy of Erde Kaiser Fury. But [Sigma] is completely original, the embodiment of its creator's will. The above description is that given by the creator himself, the Dark Professor. But unbeknownst to many is the fact that, at the Professor's Robot Academy, back when it was located on the Kukai Foundation, amongst the rows of test machines lay a unit called Element DX which looked extremely similar to Dark Erde Kaiser [Sigma]. Putting aside gossip, what truly deserves description is [Sigma]'s capabilities. With all of its capabilities three times Fury's, and its attack power a startling five times as high, it is a dramatic evolution in functionality. Its robust body is decorated with a tricolor design on an orange base, and it appears more than worthy to ascend the Erde Kaiser throne. From that sturdy frame, it unleashes its ultimate attack, "Supreme Emperor," with the power to rend space-time itself. --Link: Professor, Dark Erde Kaiser, Dark Professor, Robot Academy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB384)-Erde Kaiser Fury >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The second unit in the Erde Kaiser series developed by the Professor. The next-generation Erde Kaiser, widely heralded as his greatest masterpiece. Its advanced capabilities instantly made the first generation Erde Kaiser obsolete, and it is surely no exaggeration to proclaim that it made real the Professor's slogan:"Ultimate power. Absolute justice." The Fury's development concept was for it to be customizable, and by exchanging parts in individual modules it can take on a variety of very different roles such as close-range sword fighting (Sword Custom), special drill attacks (Drill Custom), and long-range projectile combat (Cannon Custom). This ridiculous imagination and the skill to actually bring it to life are the hallmarks of the Professor, undeniably the greatest mad scientist in the universe. As appropriate for a machine that would inherit the name Erde Kaiser--"absolute ruler"--its steel body is swathed in orange and its most powerful attack, the "True Ultimate Ice Sword," has the power to destroy even the stars themselves. --Link: Professor, Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB385)-Mobile Fortress Elsa Project >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A large-scale plan proposed by the Professor to make the Elsa into a mobile fortress, something every giant robot needs. In other words, he wanted to construct a laboratory to maintain giant robots inside of the Elsa. However, the plan the Professor came up was the crazy idea to directly transfer his existing laboratory from the Kuai Foundation into the Elsa. Things didn't go exactly according to plan, but the incident did lead eventually to moving the Professor's laboratory, the Robot Academy, onboard the Elsa. --Link: Professor, Elsa, Kukai Foundation, Robot Academy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB386)-Other Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A friend the Professor has known since college. He used to be an engineer involved with the U.M.N. transfer experiments. Currently, he lives quietly on Second Miltia working to prevent Forbidden Devices from falling into the hands of ordinary citizens. --Link: Professor, U.M.N., Forbidden Device >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB387)-Coconut Monkey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Dark Professor's cherished pet. A type of monkey that lives on Pedea Island. It has a knob on its head that resembles a palm tree. They possess greater intelligence than chimpanzees and are said to be as smart as elementary school-age human children. There's one living in the Dark Professor's Secret Laboratory, but its true nature is... --Link: Pedea Island, Dark Professor, Dark Professor's Secret Laboratory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB388)-Sequencer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The device activation keys required to use Forbidden Devices to dive into virtual space.

Via a remote control module attached to KOS-MOS's head, it takes over KOS-MOS's artificial emotion program and controls her according to the operator's will. But a problem with the system caused KOS-MOS to go out of control and obliterate the Elsa's lower blocks. --Link: Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB390)-Assistant Number 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name given to Allen Ridgeley by the Professor. Generally, the Professor calls him this when making him help with work at the Robot Academy. Every time he's called by this name, he gets dragged into some sort of trouble, so he doesn't think very fondly of it. --Link: Allen Ridgeley, Professor, Robot Academy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB391)-Assistant Number 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The name given to KOS-MOS by the Professor. When the professor was trying to control KOS-MOS remotely, this is what he called her. According to the Professor, it's an appropriate name for an assistant possessing both power and technique. --Link: KOS-MOS, Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB392)-Segment Address >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A corridor-shaped area created by bugs in construction nanomachines. Normally, they can be identified by their locked, red doors. In recent years, segments with gold doors have also been sighted. However, due to the scarcity of reports, much is still unknown about segments. Additionally, the Cunningham Company--the largest manufacturer of construction nanomachines in the star cluster--completely denies that its nanomachines are creating segments. An item known as a "segment file" exists which can record the locations of discovered segment addresses, a list of obtained decoders, and other information. --No Link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB393)-Segment File >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Segment files can record a variety of data, including the locations of discovered addresses, obtained decoders, and information about the treasures inside of segments. It's said that there are now hundreds of segment hunter hobbyists throughout the star cluster. For these people segment files are indispensable items. It's widely held that the segment file was invented by a soldier on Michtam named Neil Swaine. --Link: Decoder, Segment Address >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB394)-Decoder >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A repair device for unlocking segment addresses.

Even after living body transfer experiments were banned, private enterprises conducted transfer experiments using this encephalon. But, just as with the normal encephalon, the effect on the test subjects after the experiments was horrific. Currently, there are a few of these devices left abandoned in various locations across the star cluster. --Link: Encephalon, U.M.N., Vector Industries >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB396)-Frying Pan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A frying pan with a drawing of Bunnie on it, sold at a store on the Foundation colony. MOMO asked chaos to buy it for her so she could learn cooking from Shion, and it's one of MOMO's favorite possessions. --Link: Bunnie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB397)-Dark Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A jet-black Erde Kaiser made by the Dark Professor that closely resembles Erde Kaiser Fury. "Closely resembles" is a nice way of putting it. Actually, it's a direct copy and completely the same type of machine. The Professor has publicly protested this point, but the Dark Professor still hasn't acknowledged it. But regardless of its origin, its capabilities are undeniable. In line with the Dark Professor's beliefs, every element of the machine has been tuned for output, sacrificing stability for maximum power. Its pure attack power exceeds even that of Fury. Its body is shrouded in the aura of a dark hero, and from that body explodes its most powerful attack: the "True Ultimate Fire Sword," with the power to obliterate even black holes. By the way, the Dark Professor's motto, "Powered by Darkness," is a somewhat old-fashioned way of thinking about combat robots which emphasizes maximum power output above all else. In contrast, the Professor's motto, "Maximize everything!," actually results in balanced designs. --Link: Erde Kaiser Fury, Dark Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB398)-Dark Professor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Professor's rival, ever since their time together at the University of Bormeo. He possesses a sharp mind that kept him neck-and-neck with the Professor for head-of-the-class. But after they graduated, the Dark Professor suddenly went into hiding. Upon hearing rumors that the Professor had succeeded in completing their dream of creating an invincible giant robot, the Dark Professor also created his own robot, Dark Erde Kaiser, and challenged the Professor. But victory in that contest would go to the Professor. After the battle, the Dark Professor once again vanished, and is now biding his time somewhere, waiting for another chance to challenge the Professor... --Link: Professor, Universtiy of Bormeo, Dark Erde Kaiser, Erde Kaiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB399)-Dark Professor's Secret Laboratory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A secret research facility on Pedea Island, Second Miltia.

It was originally set up on the Kukai Foundation, but the Mobile Fortress Elsa Project resulted un it being moved onboard the Elsa. Since the move, more and more of the space inside the Elsa is slowly being occupied by the Robot Academy, but the crew has yet to notice. --Link: Scott, Professor, Elsa, Erde Kaiser, Mobile Fortress Elsa Project ==================================================== [B039] Story ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB402)-History of Abraxas 01 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In T.C. 4667, on the planet Abraxas in the demilitarized zone, a meeting was held in order to improve relations between the Galaxy Federation and the Immigrant Fleet. And there, in that place of discussion inside virtual space, an incident occurred in which the goodwill ambassador and diplomats were imprisoned. The Galaxy Federation Police 875th Special Ops Command dispatched a special investigation unit to the planet Abraxas with Jan Sauer as its captain. The name that came up as a suspect was Voyager. Besides that codename, nothing about him was known at all. He was a mass-murderer who had committed one heinous crime after another, targeting women and children. When Jan arrived at the scene of the crime, he initiated a dive into the virtual space and hurried to the location where the ambassador was being held. Near where the diplomats were being held, they came under attack by macrophages. That attack resulted in the deletion of one of Jan's comrades, Erich Weber. Being deleted in virtual space means death means death in the real world as well. At great cost, Jan's group arrived at the diplomats' location. But what they saw there was a group of young children performing self-deletion and ending their own lives. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB403)-History of Abraxas 02 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After the incident, the special investigation unit rejoiced when Erich miraculously came back to life. But the doctor who visited them--Sharon Rozas--declared that Erich's recovery was unthinkable under normal circumstances. Without finding even a single clue toward solving the ambassador kidnapping incident, a new mass-murder incident occurred. The target this time was the designer children known as Salvator's Children. The children had been embryos in a nursing plant, genetically modified and intended to be raised for important positions in government. Voyager was once again suspected, but the special investigation unit was unable to confirm it. Not long after the incident at the nursing plant, a party sponsored by the Torres Foundation was planned to be held inside the U.M.N.. even the head of the Immigrant Fleet, Patriarch Julius himself, was to be invited to this large-scale party. Wary of terrorism by Voyager, the members of the special investigation unit stood guard. Suddenly, Irene Torres, the president of the Torres Foundation, suffered a seizure. She spoke a series of mysterious words and then collapsed. Certain that this incident was Voyager's work, the special investigation unit moved to catch the perpetrator in a trap. Jan's team caught up to the suspect, Klaus, but he killed himself before their very eyes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB404)-History of Abraxas 03 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To obtain information about the incident, Jan pushed aside Sharon's objections and performed a dive into Klaus' brain. Gazing into Klaus' memory, Jan's group learned that Klaus had been collecting something called endorphin programs and had been doing so in preparation for meeting someone. Jan once again visited Sharon's residence to hear the results of her investigation. Sharon told him that the endorphins he had obtained had the effect of stimulating activity in a certain part of the brain. Sharon also told him that both the diplomats and those who had provided DNA to the nursing plant had been pure-blooded Abraxas natives. The people of Abraxas, and all descendants of the Immigrant Fleet, are born with that part of their brain developed. Sharon, too, had the blood of the Immigrant Fleet in her veins. She told Jan that the citizens of Abraxas had once been called the People of Zohar. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB405)-History of Abraxas 04 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> At the end of numerous difficult battles, the special investigation unit finally discovered Voyager's identity. However, the person they found was not the hideous monster they had expected, but someone they had never even imagined. Voyager said that he had the power of the Zohar, and that to fulfill his contract with U-DO he must gather large amounts of endorphins. Jan was certain from Voyager's words that his next target was the Pilgrimage Meeting, where large numbers of Abraxas citizens would gather. Sharon and Joaquin, too, were participating at the cathedral where the Pilgrimage Meeting was taking place. The Zohar began to glow, as if responding to the prayers of the participants. The space around it turned to crystal, and the participants disappeared, one after another. Voyager and Jan faced off before the awakening Zohar. To fulfill his contract with U-DO, Voyager ended the lives of his final targets--Sharon and Joaquin. For the first time, Jan saw Voyager's crime with his own eyes. The bodies of Sharon and Joaquin lay before him. His world overcome with despair, his fight with Voyager entered its final stage. But Jan stood no chance against Voyager the Testament. As his only method of resisting Voyager's will, Jan ended his own life. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB406)-EPISODE I Summary 01 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20XX A.D. A mysterious plate-like object was found at an archaeological dig around Lake Turkana, located in northern Kenya. The object, named Zohar, was responsible for the disappearance of Lost Jerusalem, forcing mankind to escape into outer space. 4000 years later - T.C.4767 The 117th Marine Division of the Galaxy Federation Army, with the space cruiser Woglinde as its flagship, was on a mission to investigate the disappearance of planet Ariadne. The anti-Gnosis android KOS-MOS was developed on the Woglinde in case of an attack by the mysterious enemy Gnosis. Shion Uzuki, the chief of Vector's First R&D Division, and development members were also on board for KOS-MOS's startup experiments. KOS-MOS's startup experiment was conducted repeatedly while the fleet continued their investigation, but the experiments were not going smoothly, and the unit was not ready for combat. Though frustrated with the failed experiments, Shion also felt resistance to KOS-MOS, left to her by her dead lover Kevin, waking up as a weapon. Assistant Chief Allen Ridgeley, who is in love with Shion, could only watch her silently. While investigating the area where the disappearance occurred, the Woglinde found an object thought to be the Zohar and stored it. Finished with the investigation, the fleet left the area. With the mission safely accomplished, the crew breathed a sigh of relief. Shion was attacked by the Gnosis that had infiltrated the ship. As she lost consciousness she saw an image of a mysterious girl that called herself Nephilim. Shion was helpless and knew she would die, but KOS-MOS self activated and saved her. She rendezvoused with Allen and Virgil after being saved by KOS-MOS and attempted to escape from the Woglinde. KOS-MOS defeated numerous Gnosis that attacked them, but during the battle KOS-MOS shot and killed Captain Virgil along with the Gnosis in order to save Shion. KOS-MOS felt no remorse for killing Virgil and told Shion, who was appalled at her actions, that she is a weapon. Shion was unable to accept what KOS-MOS declared and escaped from the Woglinde with Allen in the escape pod. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB407)-EPISODE I Summary 02 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shion was rescued by a space cargo vessel, the Elsa, and met a boy named chaos, who possessed strange powers. In front of Shion, chaos disintegrated a Gnosis just by touching it. She was surprised by his power while chaos silently smiled at her. The captain of the ship, Matthews, accepted KOS-MOS's high-handed request and headed for Second Miltia with Shion and Allen. Meanwhile, the cyborg Ziggy was on a lone mission on the asteroid Pleroma by the request of the Galaxy Federation's Contact Subcommittee to retrieve the kidnapped 100-Series Prototype Realian MOMO from the U-TIC Organization. MOMO was targeted by the U-TIC commander Margulis due to the secret document known as the Y-Data that was imbedded into her subconscious domain by Joachim Mizrahi. Ziggy was able to safely rescue her and escape Pleroma with a small vessel, but was pursued. While on their way to Second Miltia, the Elsa detected Zggy and MOMO, who were under attack. They destroyed the U-TIC Organization's Auto-Tech and saved them. After conferring with Juli Mizraki, Ziggy and MOMO stayed on board the Elsa to go to Second Miltia. Later, the elsa rendezvoused with the heavily armed ship, the Durandal, that was investigating the U-TIC Organization. Shion and the others met a boy named Jr., who was a member of the board of directors of the special foundation known as the Kukai Foundation. Jr., with ties to the Second Miltia government, understood the situation surrounding MOMO and invited them to stay at the Kukai Foundation. They get a little respite at the colony owned by the Kukai Foundation courtesy of the representative director, Gaignun Kukai. Margulis, who had been watching them, created a trap for the Foundation in order to obtain the Y-Data that lay dormant in MOMO. By Margulis's scheme,the Foundation was surrounded by a Federation fleet on grounds of treason against the Federation. They were arrested and detained by the army, but they proved their innocence with the battle data recorded on KOS-MOS. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB408)-EPISODE I Summary 03 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They were safely released from the army, but Margulis had already ordered possession of MOMO. The man in charge, Albedo Piazzolla, was a URTV, a bio-weapon created during the Miltian Conflict fifteen years ago, and a man obsessed with Jr., another URTV like him. Albedo accepted Margulis's request and powered the Song of Nephilim, an invention of madness by Joachim Mizrahi, in Miltian space. Second Miltia and the Kukai Foundation were in danger from the swarm of Gnosis that appeared in Miltian space from the Song. MOMO was kidnapped by Albedo and taken to the Song of Nephilim when she stayed behind to treat the injured. Jr. was enraged when he found out that MOMO had been taken. Shion used KOS-MOS's phase transfer cannon to force the Song of Nephilim to appear in real space. They successfully entered it and saved MOMO while cornering Albedo. However, Albedo managed to escape when a mysterious cloaked individual known as Testament suddenly appeared before them. Albedo had gone mad and brought the massive factory, Proto Merkabah, into existence using the Y-Data fragments he acquired from MOMO. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB409)-EPISODE I Summary 04 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Albedo tried to destroy Second Miltia with Proto Merkabah, which was powerful enough to take on the Gnosis. Shion and the others attempted to destroy Proto Merkabah from the inside to stop its attack. They successfully destroyed the main reactor at its center, which had fused with a Gnosis, but after losing its power source, Proto Merkabah started to slowly fall to Second Miltia. Albedo laughed at Jr. and left. KOS-MOS attempted to dismantle Proto Merkabah from the inside to stop it from devastating Second Miltia. She was successfully able to dismantle it, and Proto Merkabah disintegrated into numerous fragments. However, unable to get out of Second Miltia's gravitational field, the Elsa started to fall out of control as well. The Elsa was engulfed in the high temperature of the atmospheric plasma. In order to save the Elsa, KOS-MOS exited the vessel to deploy her protective shield around the ship. Shion tried to stop her, but communication with her was cut off. Although her body was burned by the frictional heat, KOS-MOS deployed the shield. As if responding to her powers, chaos' fists started to glow. The two powers surrounded the Elsa as white wings. The Elsa emerged in the sunrise, and from the bridge, Shion saw KOS-MOS standing on the ship. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB410)-Episode II Summary 01 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T.C. 4753. The Conflict that had broken out on Milia had already spread its flames of war across the entire planet. To destroy the source of the conflict--the U-TIC Organization--and to capture the Organization's founder, Joachim Mizrahi, the Galaxy Federation executed its Third Descent operation against the U-TIC headquarters of Labyrinthos. Also sent in to neutralize the Zohar Control System was the Federation's trump card, the URTVs - a special forces unit. Lieutenant General Helmer of the Galaxy Federation Special Operation Forces felt there was a danger in allowing contact between the URTV bio-weapons and the Zohar control device. He independently put into action asecret plan to protect the URTVs. With the cooperation of Vector's CEO, Wilhelm, Helmer sent in a new model mobile weapon, the E.S. Asher, and entrusted its two pilots, chaos and Canaan, with the task of reaching Labyrinthos. The E.S. Asher made it through the fighting and descended to the city streets, but at that same time the U-TIC Organization, pushed to desperation, activated the Song of Nephilim. The Song sent the streets of Miltia into complete pandemonium. Canaan and chaos found themselves under overwhelming attack from Realians and Federation soldiers that had lost their minds. A single Federation A.M.W.S. came to their rescue. Its pilot was none other than Shion Uzuki's older brother, Captain Jin Uzuki of the Special Operations Military Intelligence Unit. Via a certain method, Jin had obtained information regarding the Miltian conflict and had been heading for Labyrinthos in order to analyze it. Learning that his objective was the same as Canaan and chaos', they traveled together to the Labyrinthos main terminal. Commander Margulis of the U-TIC Organization appeared before them. To settle the matters of the past that bound them deeply together, Jin and Margulis crossed swords. Jin barely managed to fight off Margulis, but was badly wounded himself. Judging that he could not continue his mission, he entrusted the data he had obtained into Canaan's memory and bid them farewell. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB411)-EPISODE II Summary 02 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Later, the berserk Zohar brought about a space-time anomaly that pulled Miltia into the Abyss. Miltia was lost. Flashing forward 15 years from that event brings us to the present. T.C. 4767. After stopping the fall of Proto Merkabah, the Elsa landed safely on Second Miltia. Shion, Jr., and the others temporarily split up to attend to their respective tasks. Shion headed to Vector's Second R&D Division to turn over KOS-MOS. Jr. and the others headed for the U.M.N. Control Center to analyze the Y-Data that slept within MOMO. Finally free from their previous danger, Jr. and the others relaxed. But the mobile weapon team led by Pellegri attacked MOMO once more. To protect MOMO, the group ran into the city, but the enemy forces attacked them without hesitation and their escape routes were cut off one-by-one. They were saved from their predicament by Canaan in the E.S. Asher. Meanwhile, Shion finished handing over KOS-MOS and was reunited with her brother in the city. Shion felt a mix of emotions upon unexpectedly seeing her brother again, and was unable to be honest about her feelings. The events of the Miltian Conflict 15 years earlier had built a wall between them. The next day, with the cooperation of the Durandal crew, the analysis of the Y-Data began. As the representative of the Contact Subcommittee, Juli arrived at the Control Center in order to be present at MOMO's analysis procedure. MOMO rejoiced at seeing Juli again, but Juli held a complex mix of emotions regarding MOMO, who had been constructed in the image of her late daughter. Juli welcomed the arrival of Jr.'s group, but she was unable to hide her troubled feelings toward MOMO, the Realian girl who viewed Juli as her mother. The analysis procedure was expected to go smoothly, but a trap set by Albedo was triggered, and the Y-Data began to leak out. Juli and the others tried to prevent the exposure of the data, but their desperate efforts proved futile, and the Y-Data continued to leak out. Observing the situation from the depths of her own consciousness, MOMO shattered her own mind to sever the external link, stop the data flow, and protect Juli and Joachim's legacy. But her action had a great cost, and all of MOMO's functions shut down. Juli's desperate treatment barely managed to prevent MOMO's complete shutdown, but her mind had been shattered, and her consciousness would not return. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB412)-EPISODE II Summary 03 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shion and Allen were at the Second R&D Division when they received a message from Jr. telling them MOMO's dire situation. They hurried to the Control Center. Shion joined up with Jr. and the others, and together they attempted a dive into MOMO's subconscious domain to recover her mind. The world into which they dove turned out to be memories of Sakura, the daughter of Joachim and Juli after whom MOMO had been modeled. In the world of MOMO's subconscious domain, Jr. re-experienced his memories of when he had been part of the URTV forces. His first meeting with Sakura, the days of training with Albedo and Nigredo...a flood of memories drove Jr.'s heart into greater and greater disarray. Finally, Albedo appeared before Jr. and tormented him over his betrayal of his comrades. Jr. exploded with anger towards Albedo for hurting MOMO and was unable to control his Red Dragon power. Seeing the two brothers, Jr. and Albedo, fighting each other--their own flesh and blood--MOMO began to resonate with Sakura's consciousness, which had been sleeping within MOMO's subconscious domain, and finally awoke. But the, in fact, had been Albedo's true objective. With the awakening of MOMO's consciousness, the Y-Data leaked out and Albedo finally obtained what he had sought for so long. With the Y-Data in hand, Albedo restored the passage to Old Miltia, unlocking the sealed away planet to accomplish his personal objective. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB413)-EPISODE II Summary 04 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Upon learning of the disturbance in Miltian space and the restoration of Old Miltia, the Immigrant Fleet, as well as the Galaxy Federation Government began invasion operations to recover the Original Zohar that lay on Miltia. Miltian space was in disarray, filled with a multitude of hopes and ambitions. To quell the chaos, Second Miltian Government Representative Helmer commissioned the Kukai Foundation to guard the Zohar. Jr. and the others accepted Helmar's request and, together with Jin and Canaan, put into action a plan to reach Old Miltia in the Elsa. Meanwhile, with the declaration of a stat of emergency in Miltian space, Shion was called back to Vector's headquarters, the Dämmerung. Nephilim appeared before her once again. To fulfill her promise to Febronia, Shion stole the spacecraft Dinah from the Dämmerung's hangar and headed for Miltia with Allen. On their way to Miltia, Shion and Allen were suddenly attacked by unidentified mobile weapons and found themselves in a hopeless situation against their overwhelming power. To save Shion, KOS-MOS once again started up under her own will. With the power of KOS-MOS and the Dinah, Shion and Allen escaped their predicament and met up with the Elsa on its mission. The two groups joined forces. After landing on Miltia, the party fought off the U-TIC Organization's persistent attack and headed straight for Labyrinthos. When they arrived at its core, they saw the Original Zohar before them, as well as U-DO, its control system--with Febronia's sisters attached inside. The twisted forms of Cecily and Cathe were being kept alive as a mere part of the system. Shion reacted with shock at the sight. The leader of the Immigrant Fleet, Patriarch Sergius, appeared before them and declared that all of this was for the sake of Ormus' rule. He then used the system to activate the Zohar. There was no way to stop the Zohar besides destroying the system. But that meant the death of Febronia's sisters. As Shion was overwhelmed with despair, the image of Febronia once again spoke gently to her. Shion understood Febronia's words and ordered KOS-MOS to destroy the system to free Febronia's sisters from their curse. But even destroying the system did not stop the Zohar, and the Patriarch brought about the revival of the Proto Omega. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB414)-EPISODE II Summary 05 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Omega system appeared, destroying Miltia. The Galaxy Federation fleet was wiped out, completely helpless against Omega's overwhelming destructive power. To destroy this giant system, Shion and the others penetrated the Omega using the Elsa. The party faced off against the Patriarch in the center of Omega. Then, Albedo appeared before them. Albedo tried to take the Zohar from the Patriarch, but he was defeated by Proto Omega's overwhelming power and faded away into nothingness. Jr. was filled with rage at seeing his other half killed before his eyes, but, faced with the fearsome power that the Patriarch had obtained, could do nothing but watch. The Patriarch laughed at them, calling them nothing more than insects, and moved to destroy Second Miltia to demonstrate his god-like power. Suddenly, however, Proto Omega shut down. The Testaments appeared before the bewildered Patriarch. To retrieve the Zohar from the Patriarch, the Testaments destroyed him along with Proto Omega. Shion's group was confused as to the Testaments' intent. The Testaments ignored the party completely and revived Albedo, allowing him to finally fulfill his wish of contacting U-DO. The space-time anomaly brought about by the contact of Albedo and U-DO swallowed up Miltian space and began to slowly spread out through the cosmos. To settle things with Albedo, Jr. set out alone into the space-time anomaly. The sad conflict between brothers was resolved with the destruction of Albedo. The Kirschwassers gently nestled up to Albedo's lingering consciousness as it gradually dissipated. With his cherished desire fulfilled, Albedo faded away in satisfaction. Though it had only been for a brief moment, Jr. had been able to touch his heart. He quietly looked on as Albedo, his other half, passed on. The space-time anomaly receded. The Original Zohar that drifted at its center was swallowed by a giant Gnosis--Abel's Ark--and was once again lost. In his office onboard the Dämmerung, Wilhelm watched over the events. chaos quietly but firmly made his intentions clear to wilhelm. Hearing his words, Wilhelm merely smiled. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB415)-End of EPISODE II to the present >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T.C. 4767. Half a year since the destruction of the planet Miltia was brought bout by the Ormus Patriarch, Sergius. The Gnosis phenomenon, occurring in the star systems throughout the Galaxy Federation, was accelerating its rate of expansion, and more than 30% of all solar systems had suffered devastating damage. The Galaxy Federation government and autonomous states viewed the situation as critical and made advancement of the grand anti-Gnosis Zohar Project their highest priority. The Contact Subcommittee, too, were frantically dealing with the situation. It was at this time that an incident occurred in which planets' major cities were attacked by Gnosis. Localized Gnosis phenomena had been observed numerous times before this point, but this incident differed in a significant way. The damage was always centered around a specific urban area, almost as if an intelligent factor were at work. These events would later come to be called Gnosis terrorism. Juli Mizrahi of the Contact Subcommittee commissioned the Kukai Foundation to investigate. The mission would be undertaken by Jr., Jin, and company. Jin visitd the site of an attack, where he encountered a girl calling herself Nephilim. Shortly thereafter, their path was blocked by Doctus, an agent of the mysterious Scientia organization. Believing the girl to be involved in the incident in some way, Jin drove off Doctus and turned over the girl to the custody of the Subcommittee. The Contact Subcommittee's examination revealed that the girl was a special type of Realian. In addition, they detected in her brainwaves the same wave pattern data as that given of by Lemegeton. It was a program created to analyze the Zohar during the era when Lost Jerusalem existed. That program, however, had fragmented during the Miltian Conflict. It was scattered through the U.M.N. in the form of Lemegeton Fragments. As Jin's group continued their investigation of the girl and Lemegeton, they discovered that he series of attacks was being caused by a man named Grimoire. But the Gnosis under Grimoire's control attacked the Contact Subcommittee lab where the girl was being protected. Juli and the girl were trapped in the occupied lab. Juli sent a message to Shion Uzuki, Chief of Vector's First R&D Division, requesting rescue. Shion accepted Juli's request and, together with KOS-MOS, stormed the lab. Shion's group succeeded in suppressing the Gnosis rescuing Juli, but the girl was captured by Grimoire. Working together with Doctus, who had been searching for Grimoire, Jin and Shion finally discovered Grimoire's location. But Shion learned there that the U.M.N., Vector, and her own father had been involved in the incident. To uncover Grimoire's true nature and to rescue the captured girl, Shon resolved to break into a region of the U.M.N. that was under special Vector control. With the help of Scientia, Jin's group, and the girl herself, the incident finally drew to a close. But learning of Vecor and her father's involvement in the incident weighed heavily on Shion's heart. Unable to endure her emotions any longer, she finally left Vector. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB416)-Suou Uzuki's PDA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Observations on Combat Realians Combat Realians: they're the same model of combat Realians used by the Galaxy Federation military, but they've been modified for U-TIC Organization use, increasing their resistance to heat, electricity, and flammability, allowing them to fight under more extreme conditions. In addition, their increased endurance means they can carry more powerful armaments. U-TIC equips its Realians with specialized Realian weapons, notably ones with high output and high electromagnetic force. To deal with them, we will likely need equipment with stronger heat and electricity resistance. 27-Series Asura: at the present time, there are no known weaknesses in the 27-Series Asura. Their capabilities far exceed those of other combat Realians in every respect. Their combat pattern is set so that they first render the target immobile (Break status) and then confirm the target's complete destruction. This set way of thinking can be called their only weakness, and if they can be immobilized (forced into Break status) first, it may be possible to destroy them. But their minds are not simple and getting the better of them is not likely to be easy. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB417)-Federal Report 01 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T.C. 4753 The Federation's first descent operation has started. The objective is to control the U-TIC Organization. Due to another mission, I was unable to join the descent. My real objective is to acquire Professor Mizrahi's research document, the Y-Data. My mission will commence as the descent operation progresses. The day I and the Federation acquire the Y-Data will be the day the U-TIC Organization leaves Miltia. However, it will be difficult to approach Professor Mizrahi. Any carelessness on my part may result in sabotaging my father's function at Labyrinthos. It is probably best to gather information at a city in Miltia. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB418)-Federal Report 02 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The attitude towards the Galaxy Federation in Mitlia seems to be warped due to the propaganda widely distributed by the U-TIC Organization. There is a large shadow looming, but citizens seem to be hiding from it. The descent operation is divided into three phases so that it does not incite disorder among the residents of the theocratic Government of Miltia, but continuation of the operation may result in completely alienating the Galaxy Federation from the population, causing the citizens to view us as their enemy. However, there are also some among the population who feel animosity towards the violent acts by the U-TIC Organization. The elderly gentleman that I spoke to in the city described himself as a true Miltian. He is probably a descendant of the Immigrant Fleet. Whether one is from the Immigrant Fleet or part of the Galaxy Federation, there is no difference in the voice wanting peace. The day of the Second Descent Operation is fast approaching. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB419)-Federal Report 03 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It has become apparent that there are largely two groups among the citizens of the Theocratic Government of Miltia and those affiliated with the U-TIC Organization: those who support and those who have doubts. I describe them as "those who have doubts," because although they may question the action of the organization, the citizens are not allowed to do anything more. At first glance Miltia may seem like a democracy, but the planet is completely controlled by the U-TIC Organization. Since current law stipulates the rejection of a fascist regime as a condition to enter the Galaxy Federation, it can be said that the Theocratic Government of Miltia is no longer part of the Galaxy Federation. I just hope that we will be able to give some hope to the people on this planet with the descent operation that we are currently planning. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB420)-Federal Report 04 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Second descent operation has begun. Miltia is now completely a war zone. The Federation has successfully laid down the ground work for the third descent operation. However, there are several points of which I a not convinced. The number of troops deployed is far below what is necessary. Dmitri Yuriev's influence can be seen in the execution of this operation. He is planning on deploying a new weapon for the next operation, but how effective they would be is yet to be seen. There have also been rumors that the U-TIC Organization is preparing a new weapon for the next operation as well. It is a mobile weapon craft utilizing the same Vessel of Anima that Lieutenant General Helmer is secretly preparing for the Federation. Both the U-TIC Organization and the Federation will be deploying weapons utilizing the same architecture. It is highly doubtful that this is a coincidence. I would not be surprised if there is another force that is secretly playing a part in the current situation. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB421)-Federal Report 05 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I was able to acquire an ID for the Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility. The plan is to gather intel necessary to acquire the Y-Data. According to those within the facility, Professor Mizrahi's research regarding U-DO is in its final stages. Professor Mizrahi is apparently mass-producing Realians with special enhancements that allows them to function as an inter-connector between humans and U-DO at Proto Merkabah. As for the human test subjects, it seems they are having problems locating suitable subjects. The U-TIC Organization is also putting massive efforts into locating human beings that have an affinity with Realians that are able to link with U-DO. My mother, Aoi Uzuki, was taken in by this facility as a suitable subject. I do not want my sister to know the truth. This must be very hard on my father. I will refuse to contemplate this since it may interfere with my current mission. First, I must locate where the Y-Data is stored. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB422)-Federal Report 06 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There is a person of interest within the staff of Labyrinthos. His name is Kevin Winnicot and he seems to be Professor Mizrahi's assistant, but his research subject, "Basic theory of a strategically multiple operations system that obeys the rules of order," is rather questionable. It seems to be an operation system for an anti-Gnosis weapon, but the Gnosis phenomenon has only been observed locally, and there are still many unknown factors. Why is there a need to perform a large-scale research on anti-Gnosis weapons at this facility? Why are they performing the research on U-DO at another facility? According to Realians re-calibrated at Proto Merkabah, a new model of Realian, aside from the current re-calibrations, is being developed there. This new model of Realians, known as the 100-Series, is said to come equipped with a function known as the Hilbert Effect. According to leaked information, this Hilbert Effect is used to wipe out the Gnosis. I don't know what is exactly going on in Miltia. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB423)-Federal Report 07 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have descended on Miltia again under Lieutenant General Helmer's orders. I was notified that the Federation's trump card was a bio-weapon only after they, the URTVs, were sent down on the planet. The U-TIC Organization seemed to have been using the Zohar as a generator for their mobile weapon craft. The URTVs were sent in order to disconnect that life-line because they are the antithesis of the U-DO system. what bothers me is the term "Song," that I heard in Labyrinthos. It seems to be some type of a code, but I am unable to even guess what it is. With Realians, URTVs, Gnosis, U-DO, Zohar. and humans all converging on the planet with their own agenda, it is doubtful that planet Miltia will be able to avoid heavy casualties. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB424)-Federal Report 08 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Apparently the U-TIC Organization was successful in developing their new mobile weapon craft. According to troops that have already landed, it has surpassed the A.M.W.S. on all levels. The question is who is going to pilot such a craft. It is doubtful that even I would be able to control such a craft. The identity of this pilot bothers me. I was unable to acquire the Y-Data, but this data that was given to me by my father...This would not be easy. It is probably time for me to fight that man again. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB425)-Miltian Conflict Report >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [Before the Outbreak of the Miltian Conflict] The Miltian solar system was one unified nation governed by the Miltian republic. It was comprised of the capital planet, Miltia (the fifth planet in the system), and an artificial city orbiting the system's companion star (Miltia is a binary star system). The Miltia system itself belongs to the 4th Finger of the 18th Galactic Tantus Arm. Within the same arm, 10 parsecs (about 33 light years) away, was a system with a habitable planet that had just been terraformed. Immigration from the Miltia system to this new world was underway, and it later came to be knwon as Second Miltia. Approximately 80 percent of the population of the Miltian Republic was composed of Immigrant Fleet descendants. Before it became a republic and a member of the Federation, the nation was an autonomous government. Upon joining the Galaxy Federation, a Federation-assigned parliament member took office as head of the Miltian government. But this situation, in which the planet was effectively under Federation control, led to discontent among the citizenry. This contributed to the difficulty of disbanding the former government and the military of the autonomous government (this military would later become the U-TIC Organization's main force). After the destruction of planet Michtam, the Zohar research facilities were moved to Miltia, due to the existence of numerous facilities left on Miltia from early Immigrant Fleet visits. A senior researcher on the project at the time, Joachim Mizrahi, resided on Abraxas (Federation name: Michtam). Being of the People of Zohar himself, he established the U-TIC Organization in secret from the Federation government with the aid of the former government (Ormus), and proceeded with connection experiments involving the Zohar and its control system, U-DO (it is said parliamentary manipulation by then-chairman Wilhelm was behind the Federation overlooking the development of U-TIC). The Song of Nephilim was born as a byproduct of that research. After that, Mizrahi and newly-assigned U-TIC research staff member, Juli Niwashiro, produced a child, Sakura. Due partly to Sakura's unusual illness, their married life did not last long. After they separated, Mizrahi devoted himself to Realian research in an effort to cure his daughter Sakura, who was living with Juli. There are signs that he actually used the former government to support this project. [Outbreak of the Miltian Conflict] An experiment at the Yuriev Institute resulted in the death of Joachim Mizrahi's daughter. Yuriev informed Joachim of this matter personally. Mizrahi's reasearch objective now changed from treating Sakura to reviving her--the creation of a new Sakura. Burying himself in even more extreme research, Joachim retreated underground, and, under the wing of the former government (Ormus), proceeded with the Zohar and Song connection experiments. With the achievement of a certain degree of success from the Zohar research (temporary activation via emulator unit and the completion of Proto Omega), the former government military, under the name of the U-TIC Organization, organized a coup d'état in support of Mizrahi. It is said that behind Mizrahi's support lay not merely his position as a Zohar researcher, but his high status on Abraxas--in other words, his status inside of Ormus. For some time, the Federation government had viewed the monopolization of the Zohar by the former government faction as dangerous and had been conducting their own internal investigation. They requested that the coup d'ètat government turn over Joachim to the Federation. At this same time, the Federation Special Operations force, under the command of Commander Helmer, was stationed on the planet Zavarov. It was there that Helmer became acquainted with Dmitri and Juli. In addition, within that same force was the intelligence bureau's special missions unit,formerly headed by Colonel Margulis. Captain Jin Uzuki had once been assigned to it, as well (at this point in time, Margulis and Pellegri had already disappeared from the military). Eventually, due to the Miltian Republic's refusal to turn over Joachim, the Galaxy Fedration declared war. The Special Operations force, together with the Marine Corps' land operations division, began descent operations on the planet Miltia. Contact was lost with the first and second descent operation forces, and the were presumed eliminated (by the outbreak of Realian violence and the mobile weapon force containing Proto Omega as well as the Zohar defense system). Lieutenant Virgil was one of the soldiers who participated in this second descent operation. Additionally, one of the causes of the descent operation failures is thought to have been that units which had been under Colonel Margulis's influence were in communication with the Republic government (Ormus). The leaking of Ormus secrets by Suou Uzuki also took place during this time. Several weeks after the second descent operation, the third operation began, and the U.R.T.V. soldiers began their infiltration. The operation ended with the activation of the Zohar, the appearance of the Gnosis, and the sealing away of the region of space around the planet Miltia. At this time, at Juli's suggestion, Proto Merkabah was sealed into the depths of the abyss--but that is merely what the records show. The truth would be hidden by Ormus-affiliated Parliament members and members of the military. [After the Miltian Conflict] With the destruction of Miltia, the U-TIC Organization effectively perished. To Ormus, that meant nothing more than that they had lost one of their scapegoats; however, due to a need to continue manipulating the Federation government, U-TIC was not entirely erased. It was reformed by Margulis and went into a long period of dormancy. The citizens who evacuated the planet Miltia emigrated to Second Miltia, and in place of the defeated Miltian Republic was born the Miltian Autonomous State. Lieutenant General Helmer of the Federation military became Miltia's parliamentary representative, and with that, Helmer retired from Military service. Dmitri had died during the Miltian Conflict, but the post-war proceedings were largely directed by the Salvator faction, and the Kukai Foundation was established as an enforcement organization. While feeling a need to defend against Ormus, Helmer nevertheless wanted to keep his distance from the Salvator and kept his link to Gaignun Kukai a secret. Learning from the failures of the Republic, Ormus assigned all of their illegal activities to the U-TIC Organization and concentrated on legal activities (manipulating the Parliament), centered around Sergius. ==================================================== [B03X] Tutorial ==================================================== >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB426)-Save Points [Quest] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB427)-Destroying Objects [Quest] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB428)-Segments [Quest] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB429)-Encounters[Quest] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB430)-Traps[Quest] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB431)-Skill Line [Menu] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB432)-Character Battle Commands [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB433)-Character Parameters [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB434)-Boost [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB435)-Character Special Moves [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB436)-Break [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB437)-Target Control [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB438)-Character Characteristics [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB439)-Character Types [Character Battle] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (DB440)-E.S.

Now, if I could just get them to play console based RPGs, they might understand what I was raving about. DaGrimOne(Nicki Holighaus) thanks: Joanna for just being who she is, without you I wouldn't be who I am. And for her encouraging words. (What the hell do you do this for! You only do it because you'd be bored otherwise!) Diana for being a great partner to work with, it was fun, really! richard_99_uk(Richard Hughes) for helping with the mistakes I found, looking them up in and translating them from the japanese version. You were a great help.
