Fleet Terminology

This page should be linked under languages, since it's jargon.

• Feminic and Masculic: terms for ships that have all male or all female crew.
• Hitch: is a tractor beam
• Scales: nickname for body armor
• Moths: any contact not yet assigned an ID

Names for things used by Fleet personnel.

Stuff like 'moths' for unidentified contacts, and the T&S List (Threats and Suspicious).

Also organizational and factional slang, like the 'pony saddles.' And 'The Old and Proud.'

Slang like 'gone ground' for someone who's turned native, or fled to a planet.

"Star-and-pierced" for graduated from Fleet Academe (I presume, anyway)
