B
Bioforming:

Bioforming (colloquially called micro-terraforming) is the act of increasing biohabitability of a region, often on the ecosystem to biome level, but it can also focus on a small part of the overall ecosystem to increase habitability.

L
Lunarism:

Lunarism is almost identical to Solarism with the main distinction being that they limit their reach to individual planets rather than all mankind. They have often been labelled as selfish by those who follow Solarism. However, many Lunarists dispute this by noting that "any system of interplanetary subjugation or connection is needlessly complex and burdensome".

O
O'neill Cylinder:

An O'Neill cylinder consists of two counter-rotating cylinders. The cylinders rotate in opposite directions in order to cancel out any gyroscopic effects that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the Sun.

S
Solarism:

Solarism is a lunar-based ideology, its proponents support a complete or nearly complete dissoultion of international borders. Many associate them with Libertarians, but this is far from the truth. The Solarist ideology only refers to the breakdown of international barriers to increase efficiency, the Solarist belief being that man can only achieve his goals by being one united species. The noble intentions of this ideology mean that it has been adapted by many non-solarist and authoritarian groups, including those that believe for man to be united, he must first become of a single race. More commonly, it has been connected to libertarian ideologies on both the left and right. Fierce infighting has taken place among most Solarists on how to achieve their ideology and what systems must be used to do so. The majority fall within one of two camps: Democratic Socialism or “Ethical Capitalism”.

T
Terraforming:

The act of modifying the environment of an astronomical body to make it more earth-like.

Trojan Incident:

An act of piracy (or by a military) where one hijacks a rocket or mimics a rocket to appear to be a different rocket for the purpose of infiltration (be it a military base, space station, or any given area/important position).

W
Wild State (GB: Rogue State):

A wild state is a non recognised political entity that developed on the frontiers of colonisation.
