I'm making this glossary as a page (chapter) to come to find answers as to what some things are. I will have the different planets, animal species, and other bits of the Terraform universe that are introduced here, should you find something that is in the story but not here and think that it should be, PM me and let me know, I'll be sure to add it. 

I will be adding to this a lot as the story progresses and more is introduced.
