Fiction:Lapida Galaxy/Glossary

Within the Lapida Galaxy, there are various terms commonly used that originate from fiction made by the galaxy's managers. Using them is optional, but knowing what they mean is essential, especially where they overlap or conflict with real life. This list will be expanded on as needed.

C

 * Crystallovore - A creature which eats crystals and other mineral-based growths. Most crystallovores are mineral-based themselves. On planets inhabited by mineral-based creatures, these creatures are equivalent to herbivores.

D

 * Dark Gravity - Gravity that defies logic, allowing things such as asteroids with earth-like gravity or great protrusions out of a planet that are visible from space.
 * Dark Heat - Heat with no visible source, allowing life to live on planets with no star. Often coincides with dark light.
 * Dark light - Light with a direction but no visible source, lighting up rogue planets. Often coincides with dark heat.

G

 * Geovore - A creature which eats the rocky matter of a mineral-based creature's body. Most geovores are mineral-based themselves. On planets inhabited by mineral-based creatures, these creatures are equivalent to carnivores.

H

 * Holoform - A term used to describe mineral-based creatures with holographic forms, typically projected from a gemstone serving as the creature's brain. Think like the Gems from Steven Universe.

L

 * Lapida Galaxy - A spiral galaxy noted for its abundance of mineral-based life, especially closer to its core.

M

 * Mystys - A multi-state flowing energy which has a great variety of uses and serves as vitality for mineral-based creatures. It is generated by the Lapida's core and flows all over the galaxy faster than the speed of light, its direction influenced by the gravity of stars.
