A=GINSANG "A" RATED ENVIRONMENT The Ginsang scale uses the old Terran language ENGLISH and rates environments from A to Z. An "A" environment is free of any contaminants, has a temperature suitable for someone without any protection or covering and is generally only possible in a sterilized surgical theatre or hi-tech clean room. A6 World Although it can be any world where contact is forbidden the specific term "A6" is reserved for any world previous contacted which does not wish to be apart of the ALLIANCE but rests in ALLIANCE space. ARTICLE 6 of the UNITED ALLIANCE Charter provides a planetary government to request A6 Protection where the ALLIANCE will ensure no one crosses the 2 heliopause system border on the condition the inhabitants of the system do not cross out of their system. This assignment was created for worlds affected by the MEGANITEs but who's people wished to return to their insular existence following the war.New CALGARY/KLEINDUER had the A6 Protectorate status but was found to have been using it for a cover to raid passing ships.

AMENDMENTS TO THE UA CHARTER (ARTICLE 11) The article of the UA CHARTER that limits any and all future admendments to the Articles of the Charter. AMERICA Originally the name given to the western hemisphere in honor of a Columbus crewmate (circa 1492). In the 18th Century the continent of North America experienced the formation of the United States of America (SEE: USAmerica) when a baker's dozen of disgruntled American colonies under Great Britain declared independence and fought a war to secure it. North of these colonies were territories which were eventually governed under the British North American Act that later became the Dominion of Canada. Through the 20th Century the term America has come to singularly mean only the USAmerica nation but since the Eco-Collapse and the formation of HEARTLAND (Free America) and the Union of Western States (Pacific America) the term America on it's own has fallen out of popular use.

The reason for an AP assignment is that the world/civilization in question is deemed unready for extra-solar contact. Violation of the AP Quarrantine is almost assuredly a capital offense. ARC A unit of measure of high intensity ION or TACH particles in the energy streams primary to both defence and offensive weapons as well as Propulsion and Slipstream operation.One ARC is roughly equivalent to 3,691 Gigawatts of electric energy.

Also on board was former 655 Squadron member and Stellar 20 Teammate Bill MAGELLAN. ARMSTRONG BASE USAmerican lunar base set up on the Moon during the early 22nd Century. Grand opening was to coincide with the 150th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong's history walk on the Moon but budgetary problems forced the celebration to occur while the base was still under construction. By the time ARMSTRONG BASE was completed it was in a vastly scaled down form from original intention and in great need of support from other lunar bases.

ASTEROID Relatively small (in comparison to planets) solid objects that orbit a sun and shine by reflective light. In some systems (001 New LONDON) for example, most of the asteroids of the system are gathered in what is called an Asteroid Belt or Asteroid Field. The New LONDON Asteroid Belt is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Although asteroids number in the hundred thousands, their total mass is but a small fraction of the total mass of even modestly small planets. Asteroids range in diameter from less than a kilometer to nearly 1000 kilometers. Some asteroids are made largely of rock, others of pure nickel-iron alloy, and others are made of a carbon compound resembling tar.

AU = ASTRONOMICAL UNIT Historically a Terran term for the distance from Sol (principle star of 001 New LONDON) to the Earth. The United Alliance has adopted the term to refer to the distance between any star and it's nearest life supporting planet which means each solar system has a different AU measurement. ARTICLE 6 of the UA Charter uses a 2 AU limit as the contact boundary for AP classified systems of pre-extra solar civilizations and even then only on direct approval of the Diplomatic Corps. AUTO PROTECT A function on a RAEB driven Vessel that puts Defense of the vehicle in the hands of the RAEB. Autoprotect will establish shields and defensive posture, initiate communication with the hostile vehicle and if necessary counter with minimal crippling force. AUTO SELF DESTRUCT Starcraft with sensitive advanced technology are required to have Self Destruct measures in place should the craft fall into hostile hands. Although extreme the concern for technologically inferior threat forces coming into possession of advanced technology and thereby upsetting the balance of power is of prime concern for the United Alliance despite the fact that such acquititions made it possible for the Earth led forces of the Solar Group Alliance to defeat the Meganite Empire. AUTO-RECEIVER On any artificial intelligence assisted craft the Auto-Receiver is the unit which detects communications intended for or of interest to the craft, records and stores these until they can be used. Auto-Receivers are extremely user friendly and therefore are regularly used by people unfamiliar with the sophisticated comm-systems of most faster than light craft to send and receive communications. AUXHILARY Not the primary system. A secondary or tertiary system or one reserved for emergency use. AVATAN STATION Star Command Station in the New NATAL starsystem AWHREANOS Indigenous name for the people of ROSS 619 (115 New REPULSE BAY formerly M115 Meg Occupied Planet) AZMUTH The very bottom.
