The "Q" Environment is considered a very hostile environment even to level five space suited individuals due to the Light Corrosive or Pressure extremes of the environment. QUAD Short form reference. 1 QUAD equals four times the speed of light, 2 equal 8 and so on. Any QUAD speed number times four equals the speed of light. When PULSE TACH Drive pushed maximum speeds into the hundreds on Pursuit Craft QUADs came into play as readily communicable references with much smaller numbers. Now that PRO-TACH has driven the QUADs into the thousand there is question whether another reference might be required. QUARANTINE In the Meganite definition a Quarrantined world is one where the inhabitants are restricted from leaving their surface to ensure they do not contaminate outside cultures. In the United Alliance definition a Quarrantined world is one where non-inhabitants are restricted from visiting the surface to ensure they do not contaminate the indigenous cultures.
