I promise the actual chapters will have much better grammar than this. I just couldn't be bothered to be perfect for what's basically a dictionary. By Chapter 1, this will be pretty outdated, so I suggest you check the google doc link if you want a more up-to-date list.
Galaxy: Solynus Galaxy
Year: 1237 FSC (1237 years after the Formation of the Shyviate Collective)
Backstory: 40,000 years ago and billions of lightyears away, The Milky Way became an uninhabitable wasteland. The various governments of the Milky Way galaxy drove each other to extinction over the course of a fifty-year war.
Three years before the entire galaxy became a desolate, lifeless void, a small group of humans about one million strong realized the ending this war would have, and worked together to flee the galaxy-wide battlefield for the very distant Solynus Galaxy, where humans have flourished since.
The Hand of Styx
An Assassin's Guild composed entirely of psychics. All of them have known each other since they were 5 or 6. They were all kidnapped from different parts of the galaxy, and their families killed, to be part of a series of illegal experiments conducted by a now-destroyed (by them) group of scientists who called themselves the Advanced.
After the group killed their way out and hunted down every member of Advanced, they formed an assassin's guild, as the best trade-worthy skills they learned in life were the ones they used to escape. If any other Assassins-for-hire spring up, the Hand of Styx stamps them out with ruthless efficiency.
All of them carry the scars from the experiments upon their backs. These hypertrophic scars take the shape of a giant X, extending from the base of each shoulder down to the base of their hips. For their home, see "Styx Home".
Styx Tactical Armor: Advanced armor with parts from various corporations. Consists of an Endon Mask, short sabatons that only cover the top of their steel-toed boots (look at Mandalorian sabatons from Star Wars), greaves, bracers, shoulder pauldrons, codpiece, and torso piece (connects over the shoulders and at the hips to become one piece, has a back and a front).
All are made of Bulgar Steel. All are a very dark black, making hiding in shadows much easier. Every member of the Hand of Styx wears this on missions unless it requires blending in. In such a case, members wear thin, laserproof chest plates under any shirts or dresses.
Shadow Jumper: See the entry under "Unclassified" Vehicles.
Excar Earpods: All members of the Hand of Styx have one. Theirs are black and military-class. Has an exclusive channel the team calls the "Styx Channel".
Members
Quick Overview:
Fate: Null. TK rating 5 (700 Ibs), Null. Dragoon, H-6.
Tom: Ares, TK Rating 4 (300 Ibs), Enhanced Senses/Control. Beam rifle

Autumn: Hercules, TK Rating 8 (4500 Ibs), psychic power to 2x physical power. Dragon Claws.
Maya: Hera, TK Rating 4 (275 Ibs), Emotion manipulation. 2 red Jenghang H-6's.
Fate: Main Character Male. Codename: Null. Age: 23 Appearance: Short black hair, dark blue eyes. Lean, muscular, 6'1. Likes to wear: Form-fitting blue T-shirt, black jeans, black belt on jeans. Leather, steel-toed boots. Prodigy Power: "Null". He can (optionally) make those who notice him consider him a non-threat. They'll effectively ignore him entirely. This extends to if people see him via recordings, surveillance cameras, or psychic senses. Since he isn't considered a threat, other psychics can't resist the mind-altering, as they don't consider it a problem.
The only flaw in this power is that it doesn't work on other psychics if those psychics had him in their line of sight before he activated the power, and they keep their eyes on him. If they break eye contact, the power takes effect when they see him again, until he turns it off. The non-threatening part of the power stays until another Psychic dispels it, or they see him again with his power off.

Corporations, Groups
The Hand of Styx: the Assassin Guild that Fate is part of.
Excar-Corp: Biggest mining company in the galaxy. Mines metals. Also manufactures ships. Run by George Excar.
Jenghang Industries: Mainly mines Jenghang Crystals and Grapha Pearls, exotic crystals. The only corporation with knowledge of how to process them. Makes most Kozmos Drives and civilian firearms. Run by Michael Jenghang III, whose grandfather discovered the crystals. Motto: "Bend Light, Break Space."
Lightshow Weaponry: Makes Civilian firearms. Makes classified military weapons. Makes civilian ship weaponry.

Governments
Fild-In Republic: The governing body of Fildosten. Led by Fildentat, who is elected by citizens of the world. Part of the Shyviate Collective.
Shyviate Collective: The Shyv is the supreme ruler. The role is inherited by blood. Has the final say, but mostly allows planets to be autonomous. Emblem: A black hole surrounded by four stars (shape) up, down, left and right.
Legion: Hivemind of Cragosts. Lead by the Cragost Queen. Hates other life. At War with Shyv Collective
Items
Fildost Steel: Dark blue metal. Stronger than steel, but heavier. Can be sharpened enough to cut other metals. Found on Fildost 9. Rare and expensive.
Public Light Platform: Massive underground tunnels crisscross the city of Mystar. Stepping on a platform lined with rails (each can hold up to 400 people). Stand on it. The platform moves near-lightspeed towards a destination. Takes up to 2 seconds to get from one end of the city to the other.
Kozmos Drive: This allows ships to reach lightspeed. Used to travel around the galaxy at fast speeds.
Bulgar Iron: Extremely resistant to high (7000 degrees) and low (-700 degrees) temperatures. Used mainly to build ships and laser guns. Extremely common. As strong as regular steel.
Can be made into Bulgar Steel, making it as strong as Titanium, but the temperature range is halved both ways (can only withstand -350 to 3500 degrees), making it useless for spaceships, and very useful for experimental weapons. However, extraordinarily expensive to do due to the high melting point of Bulgar Iron.
Jenghang Crystal: great at refracting and amplifying light. Used to make lasers on ships and laser guns. Can also be used for cloaking, although only Psychics can alter them to do such.
Grapha Pearl: Needed to make Kozmos Drive.
Radar: Used on ships to detect other ships. All ships have them. Cannot detect cloaking.
Energy Clip: a clip that contains a certain amount of charge, used to power weapons.
Proton Breeder: Removes need to reload and generates a charge for the gun to shoot. Each lasts about 2 years. Needs to rebreed.
Energy Shield: a shield generated around an object or location, designed to ward blows from lasers, plasma, and physical objects. Shield class fits vehicle class unless otherwise specified. Civilian shields can ward off lasers and physical objects for about 3 minutes of continued pressure, and plasma for 20 seconds.
Military shields can ward off lasers and physical objects for 10 minutes of continued pressure (on fighters) and 1 hour of continued pressure (on larger ships) and can ward plasma off for 3 minutes (fighter) and 10 minutes (larger ships).
People
Michael Jenghang III: runs Jenghang Industries. Friendly rivals with George Excar. 33
George Excar: runs Excar-Corp. Friendly rivals with above. 38
Shyv Palar: Jeffrey Palar. Shyv of the Shyviate Collective. Silver hair, Gold eyes like all Palar. 45.
Terms
Shill: currency of the galaxy. Exchange rate for readers: 1 Shill is 2 US Dollars. Minted as coins. One side has the face of Shiv, other side has the Emblem of the Collective. Copper coins are 1 Shill, Bronze is 5, Silver is 10, Silver with gold rim is 20, gold with silver rim is 50, and gold is 100.
Civilian-class: for weapons, this means the lasers are ineffective against thick armor. For ships: civilian-class weapons, not particularly fast or armored. Max speed (without warp) is Mach 10.
Military Class: for weapons: encompasses guns with full-auto capability, weapons with Proton Breeders, or armor-piercing Plasma weapons. For ships: either exceptionally armored, exceptionally fast (Mach 30 max), Exceptionally armed, or some lesser combination of the three. It is extremely illegal for anyone not part of the military to possess military-class equipment.
Overheat: when a laser weapon overheats, it automatically locks itself from firing until cooldown. If this cooldown were somehow to be overridden, the weapon would melt itself within a few shots. Cooldown is typically 3 seconds for sidearms, and 1.5 seconds for rifles. Overheating can be avoided by shooting sparingly.
Rebreed: When a Proton Breeder makes more charge. Most rebreed about 5 shots worth per second.
Hologram: While holograms do exist in this galaxy, due to the requirement of Jenghang Crystals, which must be melted very carefully and in very specific patterns (much thinner and more complex than laser weapons), they are very bulky and require box-shaped emitters about the size of a coffee table, and twice as high. As such, they are used exclusively for three-dimensional maps, or for very expensive and very flashy hologram shows (which typically need about a house's worth of space).
Psychic: The Fildenen, Cragost, and Scirnock are all psychics. Human psychics are much rarer and are typically the result of very painful and very illegal experiments on children. Every human psychic has telekinesis, although the strength varies.
All human psychics can sense each other in a range of 500 feet and can sense other things ranging in size from a coin to a mountain in a range of 250 feet. Psychics can resist the mental powers of certain Prodigies, but they must be aware they are being influenced by them first.
Telekinesis: a Psychic power unique to humans Called TK for short (because I'm too lazy to type out "telekinesis every paragraph, and so are the people in this galaxy)
TK Rating: the power of a psychic's TK. A rating of 1 means they can only lift about 25 Ibs maximum. 2 means 50 lbs, 3 means 100 Ibs, 4 means 200 Ibs, 5 means 400 Ibs, 6 is 800 Ibs, 7 is 1600 Ibs, 8 is 3600 Ibs, 9 is 7200 Ibs, and 10 can lift anywhere from 100,000 pounds to entire planets. Example of how the rating works: If someone cannot lift 7200 Ibs (the rating for TK 9), then they are considered TK 8, even if they can lift 7199 Ibs. Of course, 10 is purely theoretical.
A psychic's grip strength with their TK is equal to half of what they can lift. The average TK rating is around 4 and 5. The maximum amount of TK rating Ibs can be distributed in any way needed. An example: someone with a TK rating of 2 and a lift strength of 50 Ibs can lift two 25 Ibs items, 5 10 Ibs item, 20 5 Ibs items, etc.
Prodigy: a Human psychic with an ability other than telekinesis (although all Prodigies have telekinesis as well). Extraordinarily rare, the Advanced found a way to guarantee the awakening of a Prodigy…if the subject can survive the procedure.

Styx (Hideout)
(please use the reference picture, linked in the synopsis. Instagram.)
Location: Narro. Sequestered on a bowl-shaped section where several mountains intersect on the Mar mountain chain. The mountains are close to Marro village.
Each gap in the walls is a door.
The "walls" that jut out next to the kitchen and armory aren't actual walls. They show where the respective areas end.
The areas from the Hanger/Garage and Practice Dummy areas all the way to the right have warehouse-like interior.
Living Room: Several couches close to respective walls, facing towards the top wall and right wall, where there is a TV in each spot on top of small stands filled with several game consoles and movie disks. Very center has a glass-top table and 5 leather chairs around it (for board games and the like). Near the kitchen is a large dining table with five wooden chairs around it. Wallpaper is green. Floor is wood.
Bathrooms: each is outfitted with a mirror, toilet, and shower (the ones in the wall with the blurry glass door).
Bedrooms: 5 separate bedrooms. All have white wallpaper and carpet floors. A bed is in the back left corner. Desk against the right wall. Mostly bare, because the members of the Hand of Styx like to hang out in the living room. All have a window on the back wall, with blue curtains over them. Each bedroom has a plaque with the room owner's name hung on a wooden door. From kitchen rightwards: Fate, Autumn, Maya, Tom, Nikolas.
Kitchen: dark wood cabinets on the floor (waist-height), with a stove set into it in the middle. The right side has a fridge/freezer. Sink on the far left. Dish rack next to it.
Library/Storage: Also where washing machines and dryers are. Storage for vehicle parts, tools, and miscellaneous stuff. From the doorway, when you enter: the right side has several crates. The back wall has bookshelves set against it, the left wall has washers and dryers set against them.
Hanger/Garage: Holds Raven VTOL bikes and Shadow Jumpers. All are arrayed on the floor in a line. The south wall is actually a giant hangar door that opens and closes by splitting down the middle and sliding sideways.
