==Languages==
Languages are mostly by planet. Planets and cultures not on the starting map also have languages. Here are some standouts:
*'''Gracious''', the language of the former State of Grace, is still widely used in the Hodler, Nitobe, Gauntlett, and Auld systems.
*'''Aerial Cirfant''' is used by noble houses, dioxis traders, and social climbers of the Lagrange system; '''Terrestrial Cirfant''' is used by its miners, laborers, rebels, and the pirates of its own and other worlds, including the Mountain.
*The Lieges of the Real promote the use of '''Novesperanto''' in their sphere, which presently includes the Zamenhof, Anacreon, and Seok systems.
*The Nereids of Aeaea use a '''post-linguistic telepathy''' among themselves, but their travelers can apparently understand any language.
*Less centralized worlds have more local languages. Vuor has a few (no majority), Hanseong has several (majority Hano), Evergreen has many (majority Gracious).
*'''Iris''', an ancient academic language useful for discussing magic, communicating with elder Shadows, and describing colors in vivid detail.
*'''Docker''', a countercultural amalgam language mixing Novesperanto, Gracious, Terrestrial Cirfant, and others used by workers in spaceports (docks) and on the working ships of the sectors.
*'''Screech''', a physical language used by the Harpy couriers of Hanseong which can only be fully spoken while in flight, but which has some 'grounded' movement and posture forms used to communicate surreptitiously when around 'grounders'.
*'''Graceful''', an emotive/metaphor physical language considered highest culture by the suzerains of Grace. One has to attend special schools to learn it, and those fluent in it are in demand with aristocrats within Grace's hegemony and nearby Cirfant.
*'''Wika''', the sign language of Moresnet.
*If you pick a new language, name it and say who uses it.

===Language Rules Free Throw Zone===

Every PC knows Novesperanto, the interstellar auxiliary and technical language known by worldly people on all planets, and also knows their native language(s): we'll assume 1 for the following numbers, but it's more for some people.
*If you have Know/Connect-0, you know those ones, plus one more. (3 languages total)
*If you have Know/Connect-1, you know those ones, plus three more. (5 languages total)
*If you have Know/Connect-2, you know those ones, plus six more. (8 languages total)
You may leave a number of languages up to your skill rating undefined and declare that you know them when they arise during play.

If you have Know Magic-0, you also know Iris.

''Caption gloves'' are an accessibility tool developed on Moresnet to help signers and non-signers communicate. This somewhat stylish system of elbow-length gloves and rings produces holographic closed captioning between the wearer's arms. The text is produced by either signing in Wika or "typing" in the air as if on a TL4 Novesperanto keyboard. Caption gloves function as the translator torc on page 70-71, but cost only 50 credits or AFB.
