[doHTML]<center>Constellatanian Vocabulary</center>[/doHTML]
I’ll be adding to this list as needed – for now, feel free to ask for any clarification on what’s here. :D

<center>Languages</center>[/doHTML]
Uni is the universal (or as close as you can get in a place this big) language; it essentially consists of a series of rhythmic clicks and whistles, with the number and sequence of sounds and the rhythm itself denoting the beginning, end, and meaning of a word. Nobody is expected to actually RP in Uni (since I never actually worked it out to that extent) or denote it as a foreign language in dialogue (since… it’s universal…).

The Constellatanian approximation of English is a near-extinct tongue called Scolinscii; since the planet it originated from was destroyed early on in the original incarnation of the Star System, anyone who can speak this language fluently is immediately assumed to be Scolinscian or really fucking ancient and therefore extremely valuable (which really isn’t a good thing for the speaker).

<center>The Stellar Universes</center>[/doHTML]
There are seventeen Stellar Universes in the Constellatana Star System; each S.U. consists of 500 thousand cluster aggregates; each cluster aggregate consists of 500 million universe clusters; each universe cluster consists of 500 billion universes (averaging at 50 billion parsecs across apiece). What you should take away from this statement is that Constellatana is very, very, VERY large.

The Stellar Universes are laid out as seen below:

+ S.U. II: Vitraiosyn, named for the original Nebula Majestic

««« Fireflies | Owl City »»»
You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep ’cause they’d fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere; you’d think me rude, but I would just stand and stare… ’cause I’d get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs as they tried to teach me how to dance a foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed, a disco ball that’s just hanging by a thread… Leave my door open just a crack ’cause I feel like such an insomniac; why do I tire of counting sheep when I’m far too tired to fall asleep? (Please take me away from here…) To ten million fireflies, I’m weird ’cause I hate goodbyes; I got misty eyes as they said farewell… But I’ll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre, ’cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar… I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly; it’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep ’cause everything is never as it seems… I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly; it’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep because my dreams are bursting at the seams…
