o/ - Hello/ hey / how goes it
\o - Bye/Goodbye/nite/see you later

GP/GS - Galactic Parliament/Galactic Senate
Galactic President - Term held by a Senator (Colonial deed holder) who has been voted into office by other senators, governors and mayors. Currently this title is held by Johneaux for the past 3 elections which was marginally won by just over 400k votes during the last bi-election. Presidential duties pertain to the approval of senatorial proposed gate building projects, working directly with UNCA to obtain clearance for building gates with connections to the Core 9 worlds. UNCA provides Presidential protection to the Prime system with the dreadnaught currently parked within system Prime.
Senator - A colonial senator with voting power in the Galactic Senate which include the ability to rename a system, as well as propose and vote on Gate building projects. Senators also have the approval authority to build gates between systems not connected to the Core 9 worlds. Both Senators must agree to such projects however. Governor - A colonial title of a planetary colony owner who has been voted in by its world with the ability to rename the planet. A
Governor also has voting rights for the System Senator and is also typically holding a secondary title as Mayor of their colony on same world. Governors may take proposals or propose projects within their world to their Senate representative.
Mayor - A colony owner voted in by themselves and a deed owner on a planet who's able to rename their colony and Outer Star Base only but has voting rights in elections for both the Governor and Senator positions. Mayor's may propose projects to Governors and Senate representatives.
SY - Ship yard (May be at player ISB or OSB)
Research - Research facility located ONLY on ISB and only one allowed in game.
Mech/Elec - Mechanical and Electrical parts factory or parts depending on usage.
Core 9 - Aka Sector 0, The core nine worlds associated with the Apollo sector which contains the following systems: Apollo, Vulcan, Ceres, Vestra, Sol Invictus, Veritas, Ubertas, Pomona, and Janus A.
Cmdr Dixon - Commander Dixon is the commanding officer of the UNCA Janus A pirate/combat training mission tutorial scenario NPC located just inside the jump gate to Janus A.
Inner Belts - Asteroid mining belts that are located within the Core 9, Located in Vulcan and Veritas systems. These belts contain small versions of all types of asteroids in game with the exception of Promethicite.
Outer Belt - Unexplored or Explored (gated) systems Asteroid belts. May contain up to four different types of asteroids but so far none have been found containing all types of asteroids of systems outside the Core 9. Also, once mined, have the ability to spawn Promethicite asteroids if the correct asteroids are present in the belt.
Prom - Promethicite Asteroids, produce promethium which is required in high end gate parts. They spawn ONLY from the harvesting of Columbite, Autenite and Angerite asteroids at a rate of 1 in 100 chance.
MB - Mining Beam
CL - Class level of a module or ship, typically followed by a number.
RAM - A long time amish player or name of a gas scooping module (depending on usage)
HD - Hyperdrive module, requires the usage of Hydrogen gas to operate.
Shield - Required protective shield module, used as protective shielding from laser weapons fire.

SB - Salvage Beam - a required salvage beam module that is able to identify wreckage parts as well as salvage items from them.
Armor - Protective metal armor plating which is a required module and protects against micro-meteorites as well as weapons fire.
Capacitor - An energy storage unit whose output is limited by class level of the module for use while warping and/or combat. Special promethium capacitors are available at extreme costs that store more energy then regular capacitors at less cargo weight.
Reactor - An energy production unit that is required to supply capacitors with energy. You may have more than one.
Gravity Generator - A spacial breaking system which applies anti-gravity mechanics onto spacial surroundings allowing for deceleration and stopping.
Broads - Broadside Heavy Laser Cannons used to inflict maximum damage to shields and armor
Turrets - a sickness that sometimes results in the lack of profanity control, also a lighter tracking laser weapon that provides less fire power and more energy usage but is able to track targets automatically to inflict damage to shields and armor.
Axiel - an 80's band member of G&R, also a Heavy front mounted laser pulse cannon that has delayed charging that inflicts large amounts of damage to shields and armor.
Light - a light beam that was provided as a holiday blue print gift to players by Jam. The beam provides large amounts of surface light at higher class levels.
