Black hole matter transmitter See Blatter

Blatter Properly known as the black hole matter transmitter, the blatter was developed by Professor Xuel's team at the Space University Trent. It allows, among other things, near instantaneous travel from space down to the surface of a planet.

C

Chowkidar, The (????-????) (played by Urpan Rashidar) Seemingly ageless guardian of the gate. Encountered by the IET in the year 2974.

Flexiplas Versatile material developed in the 27th century, it combines the lightness and flexibility of silk with, when shook into place, the strength of light steel. It is used in a variety of applications - for example to create stretchers and small animal cages that can be easily packed into a rucksack, but shook into shape when needed.

Hardiman, Mack (2948–) (played by Sam Longworth) Special Asst. to the Vice Chancellor of Space University Trent. Part of the Initial Evaluation Team.

I

IET The Initial Evaluation Team - made up of key university personnel, this team would be the first to visit an alien world, or to greet visitors, due to their skill in assessing danger and spotting important details. After an initial assessment was complete, the team would call in members of the appropriate departments to complete the research.

Space University Trent (2961–) Construction of Space University Trent began in 2957, and was finished in 2961, beginning its peripatetic journey around the galaxy the same year. The exact number of years it spent in search of mysteries to investigate is as yet unknown, but it was still in service as late as 2978. Its unique modular construction made it possible for departments or even entire faculties to be left behind when necessary at particularly interesting or significant finds.

T

Treaty, The Little has been revealed in the programme as yet about the treaty, but it seems to be the reason that humans travel the galaxy in universities, not battleships.

Xuel, Professor Phillip (????–) Professor of Physics at the Space University Trent. Together with his team, he developed the "blatter" - the black hole matter transmitter, and operates it when the IET uses it on a mission.
