E = GINSANG "E" RATED ENVIRONMENT

The Ginsang scale uses the old Terran language ENGLISH and rates environments from A to Z. The "E" Environment is described as a mild uncontrolled Environment, an environment which is tolerable to human existence with a minimum of precautions. Dr GINSANG likened the E Environment to the temperate zones of EARTH.
EARTH
The third planet in the New LONDON (Sol) system and the only planet in that system with indigenous life. The Sol system AU marker. Equatorial Radius=6378.140 km/ gravity 1.0 earth/ sidereal rotation period 23h37m04.1seconds/ 365.26 day orbit
ECO-COLLAPSE
Mid-21st Century catastrophe that plunged the whole of Earth into crisis killing directly nearly 45 per cent of the population and causing a population reduction of 69 per cent in the first 50 years. The ECO-Collapse was the point where the toxins and atmospheric chemical effects of uncontrolled consumption simply caused the balance of nature to violently upset.
EDREI
ARTICLE 6 World. Indigenous name for the people of 966 New SACRAMENTO. The Diplomatic Corp is evaluating the impact on the indigenous people by the Edrei Colony which had been allowed to operate on the southern sub-continent due to criminal misrepresentation by Colony founders.
EDREI COLONY
Colony world whose charter was revoked in 2254 on the discovery that the colony was built using indigenous workers to the region. No Colony may operate where there is an indigenous claim but the Edrei Colony manipulated the application and influenced later investigations to create the appearance that the population was from an unconnected continent on the other side of the planet. The planet is being evaluated by the Diplomatic Corp to assertain what level of assistance the Edrei require to return to their original cultural evolutionary path.
EEL
HOSTILE. Alternative name for the indigenous people of 802 New ADDIS ABABA a species of people who consider the UNITED ALLIANCE to be no different from the Meganites.
EINSTEINIAN SPACE
Slower than light space. A misnomer as recent calculations expanding on Einstein's principles point to the possibility that the effect of increased gravity and requirement of increased energy to the infinite to reach light may be relative to the observer as well.
ELARA
7th largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet JUPITER.
ELECTRO-BRAIN
Artificial Intelligence system with sentience capabilities. Electro-Brains were first developed by Dr Newville for RIJL Aerospace (SEE RAEB) and widely, although less well copied by Hartwell Starsystems (SEE HAEB and RAEB REVOLT)
EMITTER
Any device or mechanism which acts as a controlled conduit for energy be it for propulsion or offensive energy.
ENCELADUS
2nd largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet SATURN.
ENGINEERING
Any trade or function that either designs, builds or maintains complex physical systems. Engineers are the single most important part of any space vessel due to the extremely high saturation point of techology and the dependancy of the crew/population on their proper functioning.
EPIMETHEUS
11th largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet SATURN.
EPSILON INDI
Archaic name for 025 New MILAN, home of the KANTATAREEN.
ETA BOOTIS
Archaic name for system 931 New NATAL. Site of the AVATAN STATION in orbit and the ANGICOS Colony below. ANGICOS houses one of the most advanced Medical Research facilities in the UNITED ALLIANCE.
ETA CASSEOPEI
Archaic name for 066 New MALAMO, home of the LERGNKEY.
ETA CEPHEI
Archaic name for 676 New KRASNOVODSK, home of the NERIAMIE.
ETA HERCULIS
Archaic name for the HOSTILE system 414 New WOOMERA, home of the AMEZOR people.
EUROPA
2nd largest moon of Sol System (New LONDON) planet JUPITER. Site of EUROPA Station Research Center.
EXPLORER
The term for the RIJL Aerospace design and construction project to build from the "keel up" a new class of "starships" whose primary function is exploration. The Explorer project was to use "first run" components for all systems.
