A

A.I. -
Refers to "Artificial Intelligence," or any computer in which a human-like intellect has been installed. Pharsti, Dolores, and ADA are examples of A.I.

Animus -
Psychology term. Refers to deeply repressed masculine traits in females. Zephyrs uses this term for his new invention.

Antilla Raid

Anti-Proton Reactor -
Technology which uses metatron to considerably reduce fuel consumption. The Orbital Frame owes its smallness, lightness, and power to this concept.

Anti-Terrestrial League BIS -
Official name "Born In Space." Resistance group founded by Deckson Geyse. Uses a complex network of underground tunnels as its secret headquarters. Supported by the Robin Foundation.

Anti-stealth sonar -
Mechanism which counteracts stealth, weakening it or negating it entirely.

Arkjet Engine -
Electric power source. Used as a propulsion system in LEVs.

B

BAHRAM -
Military unit composed of Martians living in Vacilia County. The Orbital Frame was developed as an anti-Earth weapon in Vacilia County, where anti-Earth sentiment is stronger than anywhere else on Mars.

Burst Attack -
Highly effective type of attack in which the output of a fighter/military unit is increased temporarily.

C

Callisto

County -
Semi-autonomous political division on Mars. There are 16 counties in total.

D

Deimos Incident -
Terrorist attack by anti-Earth officials of BAHRAM. The Orbital Frame, which was being tested by BAHRAM, was seized, the UNSF was assaulted, and Deimos Station was engulfed in a terrible tragedy. Since then, the Orbital Frame has become public property, and the tensions between Earth and Mars have been on the rise. (note: Refer to Idolo OVA)

E

Earth

Ender -
Refers to an inhabitant of space in the area between Mars and Jupiter, the "edge of the world"- the term connotes a country bumpkin. For earthlings, the word is used to describe inhabitants of Mars; for Martians, it points to those living in the Jupiter territory.

F

G

H

HBC Hellespont Broadcasting -
The largest broadcast network in Hellespontos. Owned by Yukito's father

Hellespont County -
One of the 16 counties on Mars. Nestled between the Hellespontos Mountain Range to the north and south and a desert to the west, the county does not play a major role in Martian affairs, but the bulk of Mars' population is concentrated there due to its proximity to the Hellas Ocean to the east.

J

K

L

LEV -
Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle. Developed to facilitate the building of space stations and colonies. Manned vehicle used for transportation in space.

Local Server -
Computer memory terminal. During the game it is possible to obtain new weapons or abilities by accessing the local server.

M

Malgalityfel (Magaritifier?) -
Refers to Malgalityfel (Magaritifier?) County, the central county on Mars.

Mars

Martian -
Refers to those born in Mars territory.

Metatron -
Considered one of the two greatest discoveries in space development, along with the LEV, this mineral ore was found on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter, in the early 21st century. Widely researched and applied in a number of different fields. In the case of OF, metatron has metamorphic properties and can form new weapons and repair it's own armor because of the metatron. Because it's circuits are also made of metatron, when programs are "downloaded" it actually physically changes the circuits. (Eli: Wish my laptop could do that…)

Metatron Computer -
An enormous improvment the previously popular von Neumann digital computer, this quantum computer, which incorporates metatron-based integrated circuits, is both compact and exceedingly quick. Memory and programs are managed on a single, yet constantly changing set of circuits, so that both of these operations take place simultaneously and constantly. In terms of quantum physics, it operates in a different dimension. (Eli: Once again, wish my laptop could do that…)

Module -
A type of life-sustaining structure found on Mars. Rendered obsolete due to the widespread construction of Spheres.

N

Nest -
A gathering of Spheres.

NUT -
Nereidum Universal Technology. Major conglomerate which began a space development program in the early 21st century. The largest manufacturer of LEVs, as well as the inventor of the Orbital Frame. Headquarters located in Nereidum County, Mars. (NUT basically acted as the ZOE equivalent of Anaheim Industries from Gundam in Idolo)

O

Orbital Frame -
Known as an OF. Battle unit invented and used by BAHRAM. Because it runs on the precious resource metatron, it is much faster and stronger than an LEV.

Oxygen Plant -
Terraforming facility that supplies oxygen to Spheres and Nests.

P

Pandora Frettum -
A region in Hellespontos the location of the Sphere which housed Semyl's orphanage.

Peacekeeping Force -
The army of the United Colonies of Mars, which is actually under the direct command of the UNSF. Most members are Martians, but the force is controlled by Earthlings.

Phalanx

Q

R

Robin Foundation -
Patron of BIS, having donated 90% of BIS capital. The "Foundation" is actually just a front for an elusive underground group. While not an official corporation, boasts impressive financial connections and influence. Also supports other groups besides BIS.

Ryan Corporation -
Ranking a distant second after NUT in the tech manufacturing industry.

S

Special Tack Force Acemos -
Unit of the UNSF under the direct leadership of Zephyrs. Composed chiefly of Earthlings who are especially anti-Ender.

Sphere -
Dome-encapsulated city on Mars.

SSA (Self-Supporting Armor) -
Found on the outer shell of Orbital Frames. Derived from metatron technology, the metatron alloy coating on the exterior simultaneously gives it pliability, strength, and hardness exceeding that of ceramic components. Also able to self-repair using its own energy and metatron alloy.

T

Transplantation -
Refers to the act of "downloading" on a metatron computer. On a von Neumann-type computer it would correspond to "file transfer," but in this case the actual circuits comprising the file are physically transported to a new location and the old circuits expunged.

U

UCM (United Colonies of Mars) -
Congregation of county representatives on Mars. There are a total of 16 counties, each corresponding to a country on Earth and each with its own governing body. The board of politicians makes decisions concerning the counties as a whole, such as the use of UC Dollars as currency.

UNSF -
United Nations Space Force. Military units composed mainly of troops from Security Council member countries. Includes the Martian Peacekeeping Force under its jurisdiction.

Urenbeck Catapult -
Derived from metatron technology, the Urenbeck catapult utilizes the distortion and space compression to enable travel at great speed through space. Because tremendous amounts of electricity and power are necessary to activate this device, it is not used for regular commercial purposes. Currently, the Catapult can be found at L2 on Earth and Deimos near Mars. There is also a catapult at the L2 on Europa near Jupiter, which is used as the gateway to the Anterior.

V

Vacilia County -
Home county of BAHRAM.

Vector Trap -
A system which uses a small space to absorb matter, materials or an object to allow other vehicles to carry things they otherwise might not be able to. (example; Ardjet's wisps, Jehuty's subweapons, Anubis' staff.)

W

West Hellas -
Largest Nest of Hellespontos, located near the shores of the Hellas Ocean.
