- Alpha-class Emergency
- An incident outside the parameters of the Simulation. In the event of most Alpha emergencies the adult in charge must immediately be informed.
- Beta-class Emergency
- An incident within the parameters of the Simulation.
- AYSE Drive (AYSE)
- The power and engine unit that the Habitat docks with for interplanetary travel.
- Mission Control (MC)
- The Launch and Flight Operations control centre of the OCESS.
- Habitat (HAB)
- The Hawking III planetary transit and habitation vehicle used by the OCESS.
- EVA
- Extra-Vehicular Activity. Consists of space walks and surface excursions.
- IVA
- Intra-Vehicular Activity. Consists of moving around the interior of the Habitat in full EVA equipment. This is generally rendered necessary by environmental leaks or depressurization.
- TCS
- The Tachyon Communication System, our faster-than-light communication system; it does not need relays (i.e. TDRS satellites) due to its fundamental nature. Is composed of the TCU (Tachyon Control Unit) and TCER (Tachyon Control Emission and Reception) which are the Habitat and Mission Control devices, respectively. Tachyon collector dishes are used for reception. This system is not ideal, since it stretches the believability of the simulation, and several methods for creating time delays are currently under consideration. It may be replaced by the more-believable IEST.
