The Series 0 Glossary.
The Series 0 canon has a lot of terms and phrases with unclear definitions that are only used within the canon; there’s also a lot of new lore and locations and just various accepted things that may be confusing for readers and authors alike. We hope to use this document as a place to catalog all of this information for people interested in exploring the ever-expanding lore of the Series 0 canon, for readers interested in better understanding a term from an article, or for authors who want a place to refer back to when writing their own work.
Please only add information to this document if your article has a positive score. Please wait 24 hours before adding anything unless your article crosses +10. Note this glossary is curated, even if it is collaborative and open to entries from anyone (assuming the information added is from an article). We will be deleting entries if the information contained is inaccurate, or if the article it’s sourced from is now deleted.
