EARTH FLAGS Many changes have occurred over the centuries to many flags as types of Government have changed. Notable examples are AUSTRALIA (massive change on becoming a Republic); NEW SOVIET (Uses colours of Republic in old Soviet manner); WESTCAN (Uses reverse colours of Canadian Flag, half of Maple Leaf angled to represent the Provinces of the west); UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN (each quadrant has a angular stripe whose colour represents each of the post Eco-Crisis territories: pink for New Foundland; blue for Falklands & Bermuda; green for Sahara; and yellow for Labrador). SEE THE LIST OF ALL EARTH FLAGS RETURN TO TOP EARTH MAP Not all water has returned to pre Eco-Crisis levels which is why it's called the Straight of Panama now, rather than the Panama Canal. GO TO EARTH MAP PAGE RETURN TO TOP EARTH ORBIT MAP Map showing the general placement of all terristrially made constructions in orbit around Earth. Earth Orbit is commonly limited only to the Escape Ceiling with the rest of the area affected by the Earth's gravitational pull called Lagrange Space. GO TO EARTH ORBIT (LAGRANGE SPACE) MAP PAGE RETURN TO TOP ECO-COLLAPSE The worst moments of the Eco-Crisis when it truly seemed life on Earth was on the verge of extinction. A roughly ten year period when most animal species and more than half the human population on Earth perished. RETURN TO TOP ECO-CRISIS A man-made event caused by short term thinking. The wrong headedness of 20th Century greed combined with the human population exceeding many times over the maximum sustainable envelope nearly resulted in the loss of all animal life on Earth including humans. During the worst moments, the ten year period known as the Eco-Collapse, most of the animal species and more than half the planet's human population died. The effects of the Eco-Crisis continue to linger around the Globe and will continue for the rest of this Millenium. RETURN TO TOP EGRANGE SPACE The term for stable orbital placements along Earth's orbit around the Terran sun Sol. A larger scale version of Lagrange Space. RETURN TO TOP EMERGENCY ESCAPE POD Any unit on a spaceship or station with self-contained life support that can be used in an emergency to leave its base. In some vehicles the EEP is also capable of self-directed motion. In most cases it is equipped for re-entry of Earth's atmosphere even when not around Earth. RETURN TO TOP ENTERPRISE, SCC Supercarrier craft in the UNSC Fleet. Registry Number: UNSC-465. Finn was assigned here following The Farside Incident but refused the placement and was forced to transfer from Fleet to Ground Ops. GO TO SUPERCARRIER PAGE RETURN TO TOP EPSILON(S) The fifth letter in the Greek alphabet. Referring to the fifth batch of Synthetic Bloge Warriors and the first batch to achieve survivability. RETURN TO TOP ERIDANIA Area on the surface of Mars. GO TO THE MARS MAP PAGE RETURN TO TOP ESQUIMALT CLASS Combat Carrier craft in the UNSC Fleet. Registry Number: UNSC-4505. Before construction of the Supercarriers this class was the largest in the UNSC Fleet. This class remains the backbone of Inner System support including regular patrols along the Asteroid Belt. GO TO CARRIER PAGE RETURN TO TOP ETA Abbrev for Estimated Time of Arrival. Antonym: ETD= Estimated Time of Departure. RETURN TO TOP EUROPEAN COMPACT The 23rd Century name of the European Union. GO TO EUROPEAN COMPACT PAGE RETURN TO TOP EUROPEAN UNION The 20th Century name of the European Compact. GO TO EUROPEAN COMPACT PAGE RETURN TO TOP EVAC Abbrev for Evacuation. Usually reserved for Medical Evacuation due to injury. RETURN TO TOP EXPEDITIONARY VEHICLE Term for Military craft capable of sustained long term space flight and operation to remote and varied environments. RETURN TO TOP EXPLORATION Under funded general mission in the United Network Space Agency relating to missions beyond Sol's Heliopause marker. RETURN TO TOP
