=== Species ===

Arisians — Enigmatic beings resembling brains with vestigial bodies. Extremely powerful telepaths. Providers of the LENS.

Bronsecan — native of Bronseca

Chickladorian — 'Pink all over. Bushy hair, triangular eyes, teeth, skin; all that same peculiar colour.

Chickladorian minds work on a frequency unlike that of any other race in the galaxy.

Eddorian — FNORD

Eich — "A many-tentacled creature indescribable to man. It was not like an octopus. Though spiny, it did not resemble at all closely a sea-cucumber. Nor, although it was scaly and toothy and wingy, was it, save in the vaguest possible way, similar to a lizard, a sea-serpent, or a vulture."

Kalonian — Blue-skinned humanoids, possible orgininating in Lundmark's Nebula.

Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's."

Rigellian — Native of Rigel IV, cylindrical beings with four legs, four branching tentacles, and four mouths. Most well-known users of the sense of perception

Trocanthers — 'cold-blooded, quasi-reptilian beings who abhor light of all kinds and who breathe a gaseous mixture not only paralyzingly cold but also chemically fatal to man'.

=== Species ===

Arisians — Enigmatic beings resembling brains with vestigial bodies. Extremely powerful telepaths. Providers of the LENS.

Bronsecan — native of Bronseca

Chickladorian — 'Pink all over. Bushy hair, triangular eyes, teeth, skin; all that same peculiar colour. Not the flush of red blood showing through translucent skin, but opaque pigment; the brick-reddish pink so characteristic of the near-humanity of that planet'. Chickladorian minds work on a frequency unlike that of any other race in the galaxy.

Eich — "A many-tentacled creature indescribable to man. It was not like an octopus. Though spiny, it did not resemble at all closely a sea-cucumber. Nor, although it was scaly and toothy and wingy, was it, save in the vaguest possible way, similar to a lizard, a sea-serpent, or a vulture."

Kalonian — Blue-skinned humanoids, possible orgininating in Lundmark's Nebula.

Ordovik — possess the sense of perception, no other details known.

Posenian — "As tall as a tall human, and heavier. Somewhat human in shape, but not in detail. Four arms instead of two, each arm had two opposed hands, and each hand had two thumbs, one situated about where a little finger would be expected. No eyes, not even vestigial ones. Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's."

Rigellian — Native of Rigel IV, cylindrical beings with four legs, four branching tentacles, and four mouths. Most well-known users of the sense of perception

Trocanthers — 'cold-blooded, quasi-reptilian beings who abhor light of all kinds and who breathe a gaseous mixture not only paralyzingly cold but also chemically fatal to man'.

Velantians — 'Dragon-snakes', winged, with multiple arms, legs and eyes. Powerful telepaths.

=== Star Systems ===
Lundmark's Nebula — possible origin of Boskone

Star Cluster AC 257-4736 — location of Helmuth's Grand Base

== Glossery of Terms ==

Aldebaranian bolega — Alcoholic spirit similar to whisky.

Benny — Slang for Bentlam.

Bentlam — narcotic, 'known also to the trade by such nicknames as "benny," "benweed," "happy-sleep," and others, is a shredded, moistly fibrous material of about the same consistency and texture as fine-cut chewing tobacco.' Originates on Corvina II.

Bergenholm — Inertia neutraliser

Blasted off — lost your/their temper

Boskone — space pirate outfit - (inter-)galactic in scope

Fayalin — 'A stimulating, although non-intoxicating beverage prepared from the fruit of a Crevenian shrub, ''Fayaloclastus Augustifolius Barnstead''; much in favor as a ceremonial drink among those who can afford it.' E.E.S.

Free — under inertialess drive

Give someone the needle — play a prank/make a fool of

Hadive — smoked narcotic

H.T.T.s — 'High-Tension Tinkers' (Second-Stage Lensmen)

Inert — not under inertialess drive

Jets/Jets to swing that — Influence/capability to do something

Laxlo — Alchoholic drink drunk on Radelix

Lens, to Lens — use a Lens to send a telepathic communication to someone.

Lensing — using a Lens to read someone's mind

Klono — spaceman's deity (usually used for expletives)

Mauler — slow, heavily armed mobile fortress

Net — Device for allowing the safe(-ish) equalisation of intrinsic velocities.

Nitrolabe — Centralian narcotic, injected

Noshabkeming — Valerian deity

QX — OK

Sense of Perception — non-visual, volumetric sense

Seven Sector Callout — [I]really[/I] good looking.

Thionite — illegal narcotic, effective on anything with haemoglobin-based blood.

Tomingan donganeur — martial arts move, presumably from Tominga.

Trenco — anything, animal or vegetable, that lives on the planet Trenco

Zabriskan fontema — something with very little sense

Zwilnik — anything or anybody that comes after thionite

=== Species ===

Arisians — Enigmatic beings resembling brains with vestigial bodies. Extremely powerful telepaths. Providers of the LENS.

Bronsecan — native of Bronseca

Chickladorian — 'Pink all over. Bushy hair, triangular eyes, teeth, skin; all that same peculiar colour. Not the flush of red blood showing through translucent skin, but opaque pigment; the brick-reddish pink so characteristic of the near-humanity of that planet'. Chickladorian minds work on a frequency unlike that of any other race in the galaxy.

Eich — "A many-tentacled creature indescribable to man. It was not like an octopus. Though spiny, it did not resemble at all closely a sea-cucumber. Nor, although it was scaly and toothy and wingy, was it, save in the vaguest possible way, similar to a lizard, a sea-serpent, or a vulture."

Kalonian — Blue-skinned humanoids, possible orgininating in Lundmark's Nebula.

Ordovik — possess the sense of perception, no other details known.

Posenian — "As tall as a tall human, and heavier. Somewhat human in shape, but not in detail. Four arms instead of two, each arm had two opposed hands, and each hand had two thumbs, one situated about where a little finger would be expected. No eyes, not even vestigial ones. Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's."

Rigellian — Native of Rigel IV, cylindrical beings with four legs, four branching tentacles, and four mouths. Most well-known users of the sense of perception

Trocanthers — 'cold-blooded, quasi-reptilian beings who abhor light of all kinds and who breathe a gaseous mixture not only paralyzingly cold but also chemically fatal to man'.

Velantians — 'Dragon-snakes', winged, with multiple arms, legs and eyes. Powerful telepaths.

=== Star Systems ===
Lundmark's Nebula — possible origin of Boskone

Star Cluster AC 257-4736 — location of Helmuth's Grand Base

== Glossery of Terms ==

Aldebaranian bolega — Alcoholic spirit similar to whisky.

Benny — Slang for Bentlam.

Bentlam — narcotic, 'known also to the trade by such nicknames as "benny," "benweed," "happy-sleep," and others, is a shredded, moistly fibrous material of about the same consistency and texture as fine-cut chewing tobacco.' Originates on Corvina II.

Bergenholm — Inertia neutraliser

Blasted off — lost your/their temper

Boskone — space pirate outfit - (inter-)galactic in scope

Fayalin — 'A stimulating, although non-intoxicating beverage prepared from the fruit of a Crevenian shrub, ''Fayaloclastus Augustifolius Barnstead''; much in favor as a ceremonial drink among those who can afford it.' E.E.S.

=== Species ===

Arisians — Enigmatic beings resembling brains with vestigial bodies. Extremely powerful telepaths. Providers of the LENS.

Bronsecan — native of Bronseca

''Chickladorian — 'Pink all over. Bushy hair, triangular eyes, teeth, skin; all that same peculiar colour. Not the flush of red blood showing through translucent skin, but opaque pigment; the brick-reddish pink so characteristic of the near-humanity of that planet'. Chickladorian minds work on a frequency unlike that of any other race in the galaxy.''

Eich — "A many-tentacled creature indescribable to man. It was not like an octopus. Though spiny, it did not resemble at all closely a sea-cucumber. Nor, although it was scaly and toothy and wingy, was it, save in the vaguest possible way, similar to a lizard, a sea-serpent, or a vulture."

Kalonian — Blue-skinned humanoids, possible orgininating in Lundmark's Nebula.

Ordovik — possess the sense of perception, no other details known.

Posenian — "As tall as a tall human, and heavier. Somewhat human in shape, but not in detail. Four arms instead of two, each arm had two opposed hands, and each hand had two thumbs, one situated about where a little finger would be expected. No eyes, not even vestigial ones. Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's."

Rigellian — Native of Rigel IV, cylindrical beings with four legs, four branching tentacles, and four mouths. Most well-known users of the sense of perception

Trocanthers — 'cold-blooded, quasi-reptilian beings who abhor light of all kinds and who breathe a gaseous mixture not only paralyzingly cold but also chemically fatal to man'.

Velantians — 'Dragon-snakes', winged, with multiple arms, legs and eyes. Powerful telepaths.

=== Star Systems ===
Lundmark's Nebula — possible origin of Boskone

Star Cluster AC 257-4736 — location of Helmuth's Grand Base

== Glossery of Terms ==

Aldebaranian bolega — Alcoholic spirit similar to whisky.

Benny — Slang for Bentlam.

Bentlam — narcotic, 'known also to the trade by such nicknames as "benny," "benweed," "happy-sleep," and others, is a shredded, moistly fibrous material of about the same consistency and texture as fine-cut chewing tobacco.' Originates on Corvina II.

Bergenholm — Inertia neutraliser

Blasted off — lost your/their temper

Boskone — space pirate outfit - (inter-)galactic in scope

Fayalin — 'A stimulating, although non-intoxicating beverage prepared from the fruit of a Crevenian shrub, ''Fayaloclastus Augustifolius Barnstead''; much in favor as a ceremonial drink among those who can afford it.' E.E.S.

Free — under inertialess drive

Give someone the needle — play a prank/make a fool of

Hadive — smoked narcotic

H.T.T.s — 'High-Tension Tinkers' (Second-Stage Lensmen)

Inert — not under inertialess drive

Jets/Jets to swing that — Influence/capability to do something

Laxlo — Alchoholic drink drunk on Radelix

Lens, to Lens — use a Lens to send a telepathic communication to someone.

Lensing — using a Lens to read someone's mind

Klono — spaceman's deity (usually used for expletives)

Mauler — slow, heavily armed mobile fortress

Net — Device for allowing the safe(-ish) equalisation of intrinsic velocities.

Nitrolabe — Centralian narcotic, injected

Noshabkeming — Valerian deity

QX — OK

Sense of Perception — non-visual, volumetric sense

Seven Sector Callout — [I]really[/I] good looking.

Thionite — illegal narcotic, effective on anything with haemoglobin-based blood.

Tomingan donganeur — martial arts move, presumably from Tominga.

Trenco — anything, animal or vegetable, that lives on the planet Trenco

Zabriskan fontema — something with very little sense

Zwilnik — anything or anybody that comes after thionite

=== Species ===

Arisians — Enigmatic beings resembling brains with vestigial bodies. Extremely powerful telepaths. Providers of the LENS.

''Eich — "A many-tentacled creature indescribable to man. It was not like an octopus. Though spiny, it did not resemble at all closely a sea-cucumber. Nor, although it was scaly and toothy and wingy, was it, save in the vaguest possible way, similar to a lizard, a sea-serpent, or a vulture."''

Kalonian — Blue-skinned humanoids, possible orgininating in Lundmark's Nebula.

Ordovik — possess the sense of perception, no other details known.

Posenian — "As tall as a tall human, and heavier. Somewhat human in shape, but not in detail. Four arms instead of two, each arm had two opposed hands, and each hand had two thumbs, one situated about where a little finger would be expected. No eyes, not even vestigial ones. Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's."

Rigellian — Native of Rigel IV, cylindrical beings with four legs, four branching tentacles, and four mouths. Most well-known users of the sense of perception

Velantians — 'Dragon-snakes', winged, with multiple arms, legs and eyes. Powerful telepaths.
