	'''Mediger shear''' is the difference between a person's birthworld mediger rating and the rating of the world they're acclimating to (thus, an Eldritch, from Mediger 1, acclimating to a Mediger 8 world like Anseahla is undergoing severe Mediger shear, whereas the Seersana native moving to Selnor (5 to 7) has a mild case.

	The '''Justice limit''' is the point at which a person needs the more invasive acclimatization routines, versus being able to gradually get by with a little help and time spent in the higher gravity environment. Each individual's limit is based on species, planet of origin, and personal physiology (builds muscle faster/slower/etc), as well as the Mediger shear between their birth and target environments. There are profiles that physicians use to gauge probable Justice limits on patients until they can personalize a profile. Generally the Justice limit is about a ~~lighter gravity worlder~~ attempting to acclimate to a higher gravity environment, but (on occasion) it's applied to the reverse. Typically, those patients are said to have '''spaceman syndrome'''.

	The Mediger scale is designed to sort planets into ranges best suited for colonization (called the '''Shelby range''' after Ravinger Shelby, the first head of what would become the [[Colony Bureau\|Colonization Bureau]]). For this reason, the scale is more granular within the Shelby range than on either side of its walls (Medigers 2 and 6). Between Medigers 1 and 2 is the '''cardio floor''', the place where health issues start to crop up without significant genetic modification, and anyone born on a world under the cardio floor is by convention known as a light gravity worlder. The '''cardio ceiling''' is commonly placed between Medigers 7 and 8; Anseahla, in the latter category, is the heaviest world in the Alliance. Some debate exists on whether Selnor counts as a heavy gravity world, but in general worlds have to be in Mediger 8+ to produce people commonly known as heavy gravity worlders.

			=== Typical Species ===
			The Eldritch aren't the only species to commonly require adjustment.<ref name=":0">''[[Amulet Rampant (Fiction)\|Amulet Rampant]]'', Chapter 6</ref> The Malarai and some Phoenix are typical targets for treatment, if they hail from their homeworlds. The Eldritch, however, have the most trouble with the adaptations.<ref name=":0" /> It is worth noting that prior to the fall of the [[Eldritch#The Veil\|Veil]], the Alliance had been administering the acclimatization regiment to Eldritch with no clear idea how far down the scale the Eldritch homeworld was; the working assumption was that it was closer to the Malarai homeworld than to Mars.
