: File Summary: >Source Index of Terms, Descriptions and Pronunciation of
: general U.E.S.C. use: >Known Alien races: Classified: [' null ']
: /--Entrys Missing (I included this to account for any alien races that
: may/may not be part of the marathon Universe, but may be added after WMaiD
: is released)
: Jjaro: [' Yah-row '] Mysterious race that disappeared from our galaxy
: millions of years ago, leaving behind military and civilian outposts on
: the moons and planets of many habitable worlds.
: Most Pfhor technology was plundered from sites abandoned by the Jjaro.
Did they really disappear? Remember PID, and are you considering THAT Marathon canon?
: Pfhor: [' fore '] Insect-like Slaver species. Evolved in such a way their
: lower ranks are more insectoid, and their upper species more sentient.
: In 2794 Pfhor attacked the colony ship Marathon, instigating the Human/Pfhor
: war, lasting to present.
I'd be more apt to say "level of cognitive and decision-making ability is based on the ranking of the class in which the individual is allocated, the classes themselves organized and maintained by a complex bureaucracy that effectively serves as a front for an inner government; the members and workings of such which are currently unknown."
: Nar: [' Na-rh '] A rather primitive, backwards race. Initial Nar group
: encountered by UESC forces were privateers, the Nar have been recorded as
: posessing some advanced technology and captured Pfhor ships. How this
: species came across this technology is currently unknown.
I think its a bit contradictory to claim they are privateers but also how it is uncertain how they obtain their technology. They pirate it, and though the U.E.S.C. is not after them, the RIAA sureley will be. I think they are similar to the Pfhor in that they do not create a lot of their own technology, but while the Nar steal and use, the Pfhor scavenge and assimilate. Okay, it's a slight difference.
: Nebulon: [' Neb-u-lon '] /--Entry Missing
Mythical saviour with green pee, coal-powered spaceships.
: S'pht: [' Suh-fit '] /--Entry Missing
Eh? Never heard of 'em.
: Vylae: [' V-yail '] /--Entry Missing
With guest star Patrick Duffy. Check for local listings.
: >Human Military/Governmental Bodies
: U.E.S.C: [or 'Unified Earth Space Council'] Responsible for all Governmental
: matters including currency, materials trade, mining, and colonization.
: U.E.S.G: [or 'United Earth Space Guard'] Responsible for all Military matters
: of the outer colonies; keeping the social order.
Okay, there are three U's in Marathon:
UEG (United Earth Government)
UESC (United Earth Space Council)
UESG (United Earth Space Government)
A lot of people say these are contradictory but pay close attention: the pen is quicker than the eye:
My theory is thus:
A united human government operating in space would be either Federal or a Confederation. That said, Earth would need a government, and for that we have the UEG. Before colonization, this would have been the most powerful government yet in existence. Initially, the UESC may have been an exploratory council overseeing Earth's spaceward techonology development and colonization plans. As humanity expanded and created colonies, the UESC would become more powerful, regulating interplanetary commerce and issues of custom, dispute moderation and other stuff like that, including defense matters pertaining to open space. At this point, the UESC would be the governing council or legislature; UESC would refer to a type of congress, convention, or parliament. The government beneath it that actually did the dirty work so to say would be the UESG.
If this were a federal model, the UEG would become a more or less provincial governnment to the UESG, were it confederate, the UEG would still be sovereign, as would the UMG (United Mars Government [hey, why not]), or even the UTG, before the Pfhor blasted it to hell.
As for ship designation, I believe either would be appropriate, but as a standard, I'd say UESC for sure, it would be symobilic as the popularist spirit of the government, (federal or confed) as the ship's belong to the council, itself being the combined will of the planets it serves (or serve it). This is similar to the UK convention of His or Her Majesty's Ship, and more specific than the US convention of simply calling it a United States Ship.
: U.N.S.C: [or 'United Nations Space Council'] Amalgamated into the U.E.S.C
: shortly after the Martian colonist's uprisings pre-2472.
That is pure Halo, man.
I think everything esle is pretty sharp. Hope this helps.
Yossarian.
