Library Data: A AAB : - Argushiigi Admegulasha Bilanidin, which is Vilani for the "Vilani Repository of All Knowledge." The AAB is a major scientific institution located on the Vilani homeworld of Vland and has extensive facilities including a vast museum, library and several research centers and publishing houses. The term is applied by non-vilani to any extensive museum or library of Vilani origin. Accelerator Rifle : - The accelerator rifle was designed specifically for zero gravity combat, where a normal projectile weapon has recoil sufficient to impart motion upon the firer. The accelerator rifle fires a small projectile which is then propelled on a small rocket motor upon leaving the barrel. This stops the user from being spun or moved upon firing. Ard-Choonseil : - This is the term used for the high council of the Navan Federation. The Ard-Choonseil is in control of the Federation and is comprised of members of the Agglish. Agglish : - The Agglish is the name of the church that practically controls the Navan Federation. They are followers of the Book of Brae. Air Raft : - A small anit-gravity craft frequently carried on starships for ground travel. Basically an anti-grav car. Can come in enclosed or open varieties. Ancients : - The name applied by scholars to a highly intelligent race which spanned this area of the galaxy approximately 3-400,000 years ago. Most knowledge regarding the Ancients are gleaned from archaeological excavations of Ancient sites; cities, bases and outposts. According to scientists a "Final War" was fought between the Ancients that lasted around 2,000 years using weapons of inconceivable destruction. This is the reason why there are so many asteroid belts in the solar systems. It is believed that they are responsible for many other wonders found in the exploration of the galaxy such as rosette worlds, where several planets all orbit each other based on their common center of gravity. The Ancients are also thought to be responsible for the transplantation of humans from Terra, and other Terran lifeforms, to various worlds throughout this section of the galaxy. Anglic : - The language originally used on Terra by the Solomani when they went to the stars. A major constituent of the current Galanglic.
