M = GINSANG "M" RATED ENVIRONMENT

The Ginsang scale uses the old Terran language ENGLISH and rates environments from A to Z. The "M" Environment is considered a very hostile environment requiring a minimum level 4 space suit with full environmental support package. Dr GINSANG compared the M Environment to the surface of the Terran moon LUNA.

M DAY
Abbrev for a METRIC DAY. One Metric day equals 100,000 seconds and is longer than a Terran Standard Day.

M HOUR
Abbrev for a METRIC HOUR. One Metric hour equals 10,000 seconds which is one tenth of a Metric Day. (A Terran Standard Hour is 3600 seconds long)

M MINUTE
Abbrev for a METRIC MINUTE. One Metric minute equals 100 seconds which is 2/5th longer than a Terran Standard Minute. One hundred M Minutes equal one M Hour, there are 1 thousand M Minutes in an M Day.

M YEAR
Abbrev for a METRIC YEAR. One Metric year is 1,000 Metric Days long, or 100 Million seconds long. A Metric Light year is the distance light travels in 1 Metric Year, or 100 Million seconds (100 Million seconds times 300,000 km/s means a Metric Light Year is 30 Trillion kilometers long.

MADRID, New
Hartwell Starsystem 012. Hartwell name for the POSOLGEE home system (Sigma Draconis archaic).

MALAMO, New
Hartwell Starsystem 066. Hartwell name for the LERGNKEY home system (Eta Casseopei archaic).

MALE
Archaic ENGLISH term for the seed bearing gender of a species. The inherant gender dominance of the term refutes its inclusion into ANGLISH. SEE: MAN, MEN for historical information or the ANGLISH replacement PATRIS.

MAN, MEN
ANGLISH Definition: Abbrev for HUMAN (only acceptable definition)
ENGLISH Definition: Archaic and increasingly inappropriate word referring in the primary definition to the seed producing gender of a species and in the secondary definition as an abbrev for the word HUMAN. As ANGLISH is a language which does not allow for GENDER DOMINANCE the word MEN or MAN is only allowed as an abbrev for HUMAN and even then the terms are frowned upon. In ANGLISH the seed producing gender is termed PATRIS as a variation on PATRIARCH.
It has been argued that had the American Feminist Movement of the mid to late 20th Century focused their efforts early on to get the US Congress to define the words "MAN" or "MEN" as abbrev of "HUMAN" thus confirming the inherent inclusiveness of the phrase and therefore constitutionally guaranteeing that the phrase "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL" would include all HUMANS rather than emphasizing the exclusive gender dominant meaning of the word through the replacement of the terms "MAN" and "MEN" with the terms "PERSON" and "PEOPLE" that much of the legal difficulty they faced in both public opinion and the courts would not have occurred.
A counter argument reinforces that without pursuing the exclusive approach taken the feminist movement would not have been so successful in their subjugation of PATRIS (the seed producing gender) in reproductive and child support issues that have taken the World Courts over 200 hundred years to re-balance so that PATRIS could be viewed in the courts as more than just a source of financial support.

MANITOBA
Former province of Canada, founding province of the Dominion of WESTCAN during First Food War.

Manning Park Planet
Located on the 3rd planet in 554 New POWELL RIVER the Manning Park Planet boasts some of the widest tracks of virgin temperate forests ever found along with more tropical climes near the equator. As such the planet is a vacation paradise with exceeding stringent development allowances to limit destruction of this pristine eco-paradise.

MARS
The fourth planet in the New LONDON (Sol) system. Mars was the base for the MEGANITE LEOUZ Monitoring base. Martian Colonies house a permanent population of 148,000 terrans. Equatorial Radius=3397.2 km/ mass .1074xearth/ gravity .38 earth/ sidereal rotation period 24h37m22.662seconds/ 686.95 day orbit/ synodic period 779.9

MARS CONVERSION YARDS
Grandiose term for the UNSA CARRIER VICTORY and support craft stationed in orbit over the MEG Mars Base. The VICTORY became the conversion platform which transformed 20 light speed compatible craft over to Shindar's PULSE ION DRIVE Faster Than Light Drivers for the STELLAR 20 Program.

MATRAH, New
Hartwell Starsystem 304. Hartwell name for ARTICLE 6 protected XODAH home system (70 Ophiuchi archaic).

MATRIS
With gender dominant language removed from ANGLISH, "MATRIS" is the term for the child bearing gender of the species. (archaic English "FEMALE")

MAUI, Planet
2nd planet in the 000 New HONOLULU system of the Western Exploration Zone. Although home to the KONALUHJOILE Colony, a large enclosed facility with numerous 5 star recreational attractions the planet has been ironically named planet Maui despite the fact that it is GINSANG G environment with temperatures rarely above -40 celsius.

MEDICAL PROTECTORATE
The classification given a world protected by ARTICLE 6 of the UNITED ALLIANCE Charter for MEDICAL reasons. A Medical Protectorate is not fully restricted to external access but access is limited and severely controlled. Protectorate status is one level shy of Quarantine.

MEDICAL QUARANTINE
The classification given a world deemed a contact hazard on the basis of health risk. The classification is secured through ARTICLE 6 of the UNITED ALLIANCE Charter. A planet or system under Medical Quarantine is fully restricted from external contact either for the protection of the inhabitants or the protection of the visitor.

MEG BASE (on Mars)
The LEOUZ Monitoring Base the Meganites began constructing on Mars in 1970 TSC in order to study and evaluate the potential threat of the people of Earth. In order to remain undetected the Megs occassionally had to knock Terran sent probes out of action. These Probes actually assisted the Megs in infiltrating the Terran World Wide Web and gathering unprecedented amounts of information about the Terran mind-set. The LEOUZ base on Mars worked against the Megs when Terrans, led by Robert MacMANUS and the 655 Squadron were able to overtake the base in 2228 and use the information within the Megs own computers to prepare the Rimbey Plan and the STELLAR 20 First Contact mission. The information in the Megs system included a fair bit of information regarding Meganite ship movements through the area but very little information about the Meganites themselves, further proof the Megs were (justifyably) paranoid about what other cultures might learn of them.

MEG ION DRIVE
The first generation of MEG ION DRIVE was developed in 147 BC (TSC). The maximum speed reached was Light times 1.010000007. MEG ION Drive reached a maximum of 24.20677 times the speed of light in 2235 AD (TSC).

MEG WAR
Conflict between Earth led SOLAR GROUP Alliance forces and the MEGANITE EMPIRE between 2228 and 2245 (Earth Standard Calendar) following the successful occupation by Terran forces of the MEG base on MARS and subsequent actions. SEE RIMBEY PLAN

Meg153 Meg Starbase
Hartwell system 153 denoted M153 as it's under Meg Control. An inhabited world with indigenous life that resides within Meg territory but very near the MEG BORDER with the United Alliance. Because of the MEG WAR (circa 2229-2245) AC+12 1820-213 / ROSS 47 suffered direct Meg Occupation as it became a base of operations for MEG Forces fighting the Solar Group Alliance (now UA). The end of the Megwar did not result in the withdrawl of the ever vigilant Meg forces.

MEGANITES
Religiously impaired race who's superiority complex resulted in the disruption of hundreds of worlds around their homeworld largely because of their own xenophobia. Meganites who leave the home world are not allowed to return for fear of disease. It is perhaps because of this that the sacrifice of serving the Meganite Defence Forces protecting the homeworld is so greatly respected. The Meganite's ingrained superiority complex causes them to equate all other races with highly developed animals and in some cases livestock for this reason they rarely feel any guilt for the treatment metted to other races by their military. This does not mean they are cruel or evil people for in fact their religous system abhors cruelty and throughout their history any acts of genocide against other species has been met with tremendously negative reaction. The Meganites have only recently met opposition powerful enough to cause their expansion to halt resultingly they have turned much of their attention internally.

Meg-GHAN
Indigenous name for the MEGANITE people.

MELBOURNE, New
Hartwell Starsystem 400. Hartwell name for the neutral BUUNTER home system (New MELBOURNE archaic).

MEN
ANGLISH Definition: Abbrev for HUMAN (only acceptable definition)
ENGLISH Definition: Archaic and increasingly inappropriate word referring in the primary definition to the seed producing gender of a species and in the secondary definition as an abbrev for the word HUMAN. As ANGLISH is a language which does not allow for GENDER DOMINANCE the word MEN or MAN is only allowed as an abbrev for HUMAN and even then the terms are frowned upon.

MENOR
Slang term from archaic Terran language of island group in the pacific. Original meaning is "slow" or "slower". Current usage is as a put-down when someone in a group of people having a discussion is unable to keep up with the topic of conversation. Can also be used when a person is slow to realize they have a problem (IE: Someone working in a office who is increasingly getting lots to file but doesn't realize that they need more filing space before they can begin), may also refer to someone who by nature is not pro-active.

MERCURY
Nearest planet in the New LONDON (Sol) system to the primary sun. Mercury is devoid of atmosphere and experiences severe temperature extremes during it's rotation. Equatorial Radius=2439 km / mass .0553xearth/ gravity .38 earth/ sidereal rotation period 58.646 days / 87.96 day orbit/ synodic period 115.9 days

METIS
16th largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet JUPITER.

METRIC TIME SYSTEM
The only truly universal time system. Independent of time zones or other external reference sources. Metric Time is the simple accumulation of seconds from a fixed point in time (ZERO SECOND). Under this system Metric Days are 100,000 seconds long (1 day and 3.777 hours long = Earth Standard Time), Metric hours are 2.776 hours long and Metric years are 1,000 metric days long or 3.1688 Earth Standard years long). The great advantage to Metric Time as developed by the Council For Technical Simplicity is for SPACE/TIME Calculations. If light travels 300,000 km in a second then light travels 30 billion km in a Metric Day.

M-QUAD
A QUAD equals four Lightyears. An M-QUAD equals four Metric Lightyears. Relevant in distance only as Lightspeed is a constant an M-QUAD is roughly 3.12 times longer than a QUAD.

MUSSANI
The indigenous people of 666 NEW CHELYABINSK DM-54 9222. The MUSSANI Federation had already spread to five extra-solar worlds over twenty standard light years along the Eridani Corridor when the Meganites came across them in 1704 AD (TSC). The MUSSANI were the first people to form an effective counter to the Meganites before their entire planet was wiped clean by the Meganite ARROWHEAD Maneuver which marks Zero Second in Metric Time (April 9, 1964 12:15pm UT --TSC).
