Until I can figure out how to post the second chapter of my fanfic novel, I thought I'd post a list of terms relevant to the story, kinda like the series bibles that the real shows have. The main problem with writing fanfics is that you never know at any given point when something will happen on the real show that will contradict what you've written. It's also hard just to write the stuff, period. Anyway, here you go.There are a few references from the real shows, but they only have information pertinent to ST:L. Also, I've purposely left the main character's bios vague so I don't give anything away.
Anti-Emissary, The � individual who, according to Shabren�s Final Prophecy, will take the place of the Emissary and will be responsible for much sorrow in the galaxy

The remaining Alphas claim several sectors of former Cardassian space as their own
