Plasma Throwers are extremely powerful Alteri weapons. They are capable of causing massive amounts of destruction to both shields and raw hull, and were one of the final weapons ever developed by the Alteri prior to their destruction.
Inertial Dampeners are a technology utilised by most spacefaring races in the known universe. They are used the reduce the effects of inertia on a moving ship or object, allowing movement at high speeds with no harm to the occupants.
The Gravity Sling is an Alteri technology. It is typically mounted aboard ships, and is used to allow the movement of orbital bodies such as asteroids, wreckage, and other vessels.
Explosion Dampeners are an advanced technology used by the Alteri aboard their ships and structures. They are used to dampen the effects of internal explosions in the event of damage or sabotage, reducing or nullifying their damage.
A Deceleration Drive is a specialised engine unit used to help decelerate a vessel from high speeds.
The Contender-class warship was a dreadnought fielded by the Alteri at the height of their power. Standing at fifty kilometres in length, they are not only the largest known fielded ships by the Alteri, but also the largest in the known universe.
Beam Emitters are powerful offensive weapons employed by the Alteri aboard many of their ships and defensive platforms. They are capable of placing massive strain on energy shields, and heavily damaging unshielded targets.

The Custodia-class battleship was a warship fielded by the Alteri. It served as a staple of the Alteri fleet for many years, eventually being replaced by the superior Intrepid-class battleship.
Earth is a planet located within the Sol system. It is inhabited by Humanity, and the capital world of the Human Empire.
The UNNS Vista was the second Pathfinder-class vessel constructed and launched by Humanity. It was commissioned to take an expedition team to determine the fate of, and if possible recover, the crew of the UNNS Horizon.
Centralis was an extremely large ringworld that was the largest ever constructed by the Alteri. It served as the capital of the Alteri Dominion for many years until it's loss during the events of the Alteri-Inimica War.
A subspace drive, sometimes known as an FTL drive, is a specialised drive that allows a vessel, or even structures, to access the dimension of subspace. In subspace, it is possible to bypass relativity and travel at speeds faster than light.
Horizon, formerly known as Proxima Centauri b, is a planet orbiting the star of Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. It is notable for being the first established and successful extrasolar colony of Humanity.
Humans, collectively known as Humanity, or scientifically as Homo sapiens, are a technologically advanced race that live within the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Secunda Refugee Crisis was an event that took place in the onset of the 2600s, when the EIC released an ancient Alteri bioweapon that led to millions of deaths and a large-scale refugee crisis.
The Battle of Rathka Prime was a battle that took place on and over the planet of Rathka Prime, a colony world of the technologically advanced Rathiri. This battle would be the first time the Alteri Dominion would face the Inimica in battle.
Rathka Prime was a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy. It was once inhabited by the Rathiri. The planet was attacked by the Inimica during the Alteri-Inimica War, and later destroyed at the end of the conflict.
Luna, also known as the Moon, is a moon orbiting Earth. In the 2200s, Humanity was able to establish a permanent, habitable base on the moon. In modern times, it houses a population of several thousand in carefully constructed habitats.
Secunda was a planet formerly inhabited by the Alteri. It was colonised in the 2500s by the Endos Interstellar Corporation. In the onset of the 2600s, the planet suffered a severe disease outbreak stemming from an ancient Alteri bioweapon.
The Treaty of New York was a ratified treaty signed between all major nations on Earth that authorised an ascension of powers for the United Nations. It granted the United Nations the governance of interstellar colonies.
The Horizon Mission was an exploration effort launched by Humanity in 2312. It marked the first time that Humanity would launch a manned vessel on an Interstellar voyage.
New York is the name of a human city on Earth. It is notable not only for it popularity and it's economic value, but also for being the home of the United Nations Headquarters building.
Neutrino-ion Generators are the primary method of power generation used by the Alteri, utilised in one form or another in most of their technology and ships. They are extremely powerful, capable of outputting massive amounts of power.
The Battle of Aeterna was a battle that took place during the Alteri-Inimica War in orbit of the Alteri colony world of Aeterna.
Aeterna was a planet within the Alteri Dominion, and inhabited by the Alteri. It was a border world on the edge of Alteri space, and in the onset of the Alteri-Inimica War, became the location of a fierce battle.
