Ade democracy impossible. At that point the Federation Congress amended
the constitution, dissolving the Federation and creating the Terran
Empire. SOUL-BLADE: (Irschchan) A dagger carried by all Irschchans from
pre-adolescence. It has the owner's personality impressed on it by a
specialized form of darlas, and is supposed to remain with its owner for
the rest of @'s life. The owner becomes uncomfortable if it is not
within reach, more so if it is handled by another, and suffers permanent
psychic shock if it is destroyed. After the owner's death, the
soul-blade is preserved in the family's Hall of Memories, where the
survivors are able to feel the presence of their deceased relatives.
SPECIAL LIAISON: An individual with special knowledge of a culture or
society, usually because @ was born or raised in it, appointed to work
with the officer in charge of a mission to that culture. STILDYNE,

STINGWEED: Nemran plant. A low-growing shrub with silvery-green
three-lobed leaves and milky sap. The sap contains something generally
described as a cross between a fungus and a bacterium, which is harmless
to intact skin, but is poisonous if introduced into a wound. The first
indication of poisoning, usually in less than an hour, is that the wound
begins to ooze a thick, greenish-yellow, foul-smelling matter. If the
victim does not receive prompt treatment, a fever develops, followed by
delirium, coma, and death, the speed of progress determined by the
amount of poison absorbed. It is dangerous for anyone except a medic or
physician with life support available to attempt medicating a stingweed
victim, since even something as normally safe as quidine may at times
intensify the poison's effect. STUNNER, NEURAL: A blaster setting or
special-purpose handgun that stuns rather than injuring the one shot.
Although it causes no actual damage, the victim does wake with a severe,
migraine-like headache. STYX, Subsector 17-B: No. systems: 115 Sector:
