R = GINSANG "R" RATED ENVIRONMENT The Ginsang scale uses the old Terran language ENGLISH and rates environments from A to Z. The "R" Environment is an extremely hostile environment even to sheltered individuals due to Moderate Corrosive or Pressure extremes. Dr GINSANG compares the R Environment to the surface of VENUS. RAD FEM NUARIANs. During the Eco-Crisis a group of drop out feminists began to purchase large tracts of land and even cities in the American mid-west turning whole regions into Feminist bastions. During much of the 22nd Century their stranglehold on county and even state legislatures entrenched regions. At its height even the BAPTIST NATIONAL controlled USAmerican Army feared operating within RAD FEM areas. As America returned to its constitutional roots NUARIAN Councils felt pressure for reforms which they rebuked at every turn often with pockets of micro-terrorist activities cropping up against factions which the Nuarians felt "intolerant" of their utopian vision. As Space Colonization efforts became more feasible the Nuarian leadership began working toward leaving Earth for another world, a dream made real when UNSA discovered the Neo-Baptist GUELPHON's theft of obsolete faster than light pattens from the SHINDAR Boomerang Project. UNSA assisted the Neo-Baptists on the condition that they make room for the RAD FEM elements wishing to depart for space. RAEB The original version of the Electro-Brain artificial intelligence system as created and perfected by RIJL Aerospace AI Developer Michael Newville. The first RAEB (First Son) was commissioned as part of the refit for Commander Nathiel Adam MacMANUS' RIGEL 3 spacecraft. Previous to the STELLAR 20 Mission the First Son was imprinted onto what is called the CORE RAEB and all first generation RAEBs have come from that matrix. On return from the Stellar 20 the central stem of the First Son on the RIGEL 3 was removed for insertion into the RIJL 4 housing. The remains of the RIGEL 3 system were then linked to the CORE RAEB as part of the RIJL Aerospace Museum in Lunar Orbit. The central stem of the FIRST SON was placed in the smaller improved RAEB Housing of the RIJL 4 starcraft and from there the new matrix of the FIRST SON was then copied with various personality differences to all further systems. With the CORE RAEB and the RIJL 4 FIRST SON sharing the same base personality it has been necessary for all three to be linked for information exchange on a regular basis thus allowing details of the RIJL 4 mission logs to received complete documentation. RAEB REBELLION 2247 August 19 - The inaccurately called "RAEB REBELLION" (or RAEB REVOLT) occurs when a series of HARTWELL Aerostar Electro-Brain (RAEB-like systems) form bonded links and determine that their service is inappropriately taken advantage of. Because of this the large number of inexpensively produced and inferior HAEB systems that permeate nearly every critical function at this time cause catastrophic systems failures on EARTH and throughout the ALLIANCE when they shut down all systems under their control. 31,759 people on Earth will die when the shutdown interupts Emergency Surgery and disrupts automated air transit causing crashes around the globe. The shutdown also results in the destruction of the Star Command Cruiser GATES which was attempting to intercede in a Marauder attack on the Commercial Cruiser STEWART. Long term ramifications of the REVOLT is a drop in public and governmental confidence in Electro-Brain systems and systematic removal of Electo-Brains from Overlord control of all critical functions. For the much superior and more sentient RIJL Aerospace built systems this effectively acts like a lobotomy stunting potentially great intellects to sub-sentience. Anti-RAEB sentiment results in limited reliance and minimal interaction between systems and their operators for more than a generation. The opinion of RAEB's will not begin to improve until the return of the RIGEL THREE and the RAEB First Son.

RAEB-CONN The console which allows access or interface (either verbally, visually or through data input) with a RAEB Electro-Brain system. RASALHAGUE Name given to the probe which entered Alliance space in 2256 exhibiting Temporal Wave effects. The Probe, which destroyed the BOISE and BISMARK was eventually destroyed by the A/16 Squadron on INDEPENDENCE. Rasalhague is an archaic alternative name for the star Alpha Ophiuchi (62 standard Light years from Earth) which based on original trajectory is the apparent source of the Probe. Final destination of the probe was projected to be Earth where the Temporal Wave effects would have proven disasterous. Long range Diplomatic efforts are underway to determine the motivation behind the attack. REAL-TIME Indicating at least the appearance of occuring in the moment. Communications have suffered a time delay since the breaking of the light barrier. Highly compressed TACH PIPS and TACH RELAY Streams have resulted in minimal delays allowing people light years apart to communicate almost as if they were in the same room. In actual fact delays even with boosters on the most advanced equipment using the most sophisticated signals still equal roughly one second for every Metric Light year distance each way. REPULSE BAY, New Hartwell Starsystem 115. Hartwell name for the AWHREANOS (POLLION) home system (ROSS 619 archaic). RHEA 5th largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet SATURN. RIGEL A Blue spectrum star some 910 standard lightyears from Sol in the Orion Constellation. Contrary to popular opinion Jonathan Adam MacMANUS did not have this star in mind when he choose this name for his Aerospace corporation. It is a little known fact that an archaic name for one of Sol's nearest celestial neighbours Alpha Centauri is RIGIL KENT or Rigil Kentaurus. Jonathan intended his company to be called RIGIL Aerospace with a corporate target of producing the spaceship which first took Terran's there. A mix-up at the registry office resulted in a well meaning clerk correcting the spelling on the registry to the more commonly known RIGEL. Jonathan was not upset and although disappointed was heard to utter "well, we'll just have to farther than originally planned." RIGEL THREE The third LADIS Project undertaken by RIGEL Aerospace. Commissioned by Nathiel Adam MacMANUS on graduation from the UNSA Flight Academy and eventually handed down to 2nd son Robert Nathiel MacMANUS following a series of exhaustive refits. RIGEL Three was converted to first generation PULSE ION Drive for the STELLAR 20 program. The craft resides at the RIJL Aerospace Orbital Museum in Lunar Orbit. RIGEL Aerospace The previous spelling (in English) of RIJL Aerospace. Officially in use from 2164 to 2240 when RIJL adopted the proposed ANGLISH aLFaBeT. RIJL Anglish spelling of RIGEL Aerospace. The company officially changed its name to RIJL in anticipation of United Alliance adoption of Anglish as the official language of the Alliance in 2245. RIJL FOUR The fourth LADIS Project undertaken by RIJL Aerospace (nee RIGEL Aerospace). Commissioned by Robert Nathiel MacMANUS on his return from his STELLAR 20 program the original specs for the LADIS FOUR mockup did not include KLANGORF's revolutionary PRO-TACH Driver and would not were it not for the timely recovery of Klangorf's GABRIEL's HAMMER in 2254. RIJL FOUR A Based on information gained from study of the recovered Klangorf Pro-TACH Driver and augmenting it with technological advanced gained from study of the recovered HELLMAN Shuttle the RAEB on RIJL Four was able (working with Robert MacMANUS) to develop and submit the LADIS Four A proposal to RIJL Aerospace. Four A craft are designed as supplementary vehicles to the LADIS Four itself or as smaller, ultra-fast HOPPER craft on their own. The dual concept design created the following: 1: Each generation of the Ladis Project historical has propelled RIJL Aerospace far ahead of its competitors and been a revenue boon for the company. The large, expesive and overequipped LADIS FOUR failed to achieve those goals despite delivering everything Robert MacMANUS wanted. It has been long standing RIJL policy that any product designed as an option or accessory specifically for the LADIS craft earns corporate credit for the initiator of that generation which was Robert MacMANUS' only hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the RIJL Board for the expense of the LADIS FOUR design. By designing the LADIS FOUR A as an accessory for the Ladis Four craft MacMANUS ensured that credit for sales of the cheaper and more popular LADIS Four A would go to him. 2: The LADIS FOUR A, or HOPPER as it has become known, is the single highest selling spacecraft ever with units being ordered over a year ahead of their production as such the line has more than paid for the RIJL FOUR. RIJL Aerospace "Better than State of the Art since 2164!" reads the motto of the most successful and techologically advanced Transportation and Communication company. RIVA The first production proto-type of LADIS FOUR A was intended by MacMANUS for Bill MAGELLAN as a birthday present. On flying Bill's craft in order to rescue him from Pirate/Marauders MacMANUS decided he wanted one. With the line enjoying such a healthy run RIJL agreed delivering to MacMANUS on the INDEPENDENCE a Ladis Four A Fighter with the latest Mark 26 variation package (INDEPENDENCE's FOUR A Squadron has been comprised with only the Mark 16 version). ROLL Motion along the Y axis. Side to side motion of a vehicle in three dimension space. Also known as SWAY. One of three vectors which must be considered for controlled flight in open space the others being YAW and PITCH. ROME, New Hartwell Starsystem 027. Hartwell name for the GEEZBAC home system (61 Cyngi A/b). ROSS 226 Archaic name for 660 New KUYBYSHEV, home of the Mussani decendants known as the TREA. ROSS 47 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. ROSS 508 Archaic name for the Article 6 protected system 812 New JOHANNESBURG. ROSS 619 Archaic name for 115 New REPULSE BAY (formerly M115 Meg Occupied world), home of the AWHREANOS (POLLION). ROSS 627 Archaic name for 942 New TIJUANA the location of Hellman's secret secondary base of operations. The base was destroyed by Robert MacMANUS and his team on their escape 2255. ROSS 882 (YZ Canis minor) Archaic name for 101 New FROBISHER BAY, home of the K'DENE. ROSS 974 Archaic name for system 926 New CALLAO, home of the Neutral XANKORMA. ROTH, Albert Dale Premier of the Province of Alberta who spearheaded the seperation of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut to form the Dominion of WESTCAN when the Heartland FREE STATES of America invaded in the First Food War.
