NOSFERATU PSEUDO-VIRUS: An organism resembling a virus more closely than anything else its first investigators were aware of. It is capable of infecting approximately one percent of the inhabitants of Narvon System and an unknown but much smaller percentage of Terrans; all others are immune. While very few Terrans are susceptible, that small percentage is extremely so, and all so far known have become Bloodmates. Susceptibility is determined by high empathy, though it may be mostly latent until the Change. Narvonese research has shown that a person with a certain rare "marker" gene configuration is susceptible, but until nearly 2600, the reason is not known. A susceptible person subjected to severe weakening (due to illness or trauma) after exposure will undergo physical and mental changes, becoming a Kin or Bloodmate. It is the degree of empathy which determines whether the Change is to Kin or Bloodmate, with the more empathic becoming the Bloodmates. The virus is a collective mind, symbiotic with its hosts, but does not become self-aware or more than marginally conscious until it infects and changes Chee Campbell in 2750. ["Touch of the Dragon"] NOXI: (Traiti) Homeworld equivalent of rabbits, with ears like beagles. They are about twice the size of Terran rabbits. NULLGRAV: Nullified, or nullification of, gravity. Used as a drive for spacecraft near planets, and in planetary craft such as airplanes and cars, as well as for exercise facilities, entertainment, medical uses, etc. O OBERON, Subsector 4-A: No. systems: 51 Sector: Fornax with 3 inhabited planets: 7 Ruled by: with 2 inhabited planets: 13 with 1 inhabited planet: 23 ODIN, Subsector 6-B: No. systems: 101 Sector: Scorpio with 3 inhabited planets: 1 Ruled by: with 2 inhabited planets: 9 with 1 inhabited planet: 24 OGHMA, Subsector 20-A: No. systems: 102 Sector: Chameleon wit
