Gaian Population Control Agency (GPCA)	This agency was formed by the Democracy in the Gaian year 2030. Their original purpose was to essentially murder two-thirds of all Gaians due to the extreme overpopulation problem.

"quick-awake"	The slang term for one of the 30 sleepers on each transport who are, throughout the voyage, continuously brought to near-consciousness. This is done so that they may be more quickly awakened without suffering the extreme side effects of a sleeper who has just been in standard cold sleep.
Relas Stokestone	One of the Navigators during the Emigration. Relas Stokestone was also the original director of the GPCA and headed the Emigration. After landing on Segaia, however, neither Relas nor any of his sleeper shipmates were ever heard from again.
