Vanger

Vangers are beings that come from when an eLeech fails to properly mature and animates a mechos with its consciousness. Despite being intangible consciousnesses they can be forcibly removed from their mechos and crushed to death. The life of a vanger has no inherent value to anyone in the Chain of Worlds - least of all other vangers. Their perceived worth is entirely derived from how they're less afraid than any lostie to exit the escaves for involvement in shipping and mercenary work.

Mechos
A vanger is nothing without their mechos. Any functional vehicle is considered a mechos, but the vast majority of them are land ones. All mechos are equipped with certain features.

KiD
KiDs are devices that allow a mechos to "jump". They're reliant on the same energy source as the mechos' shield.

Spiral
A spiral is the device for activating a Passage in conjunction with that Passage's access code. Spiral charge is measured in individual amounts of time that it can be used.

Terminator
Terminators are single use weapons of a mechos, described as "cryspoid" in origin. They perfectly imitate hazardous wildlife of UniVang.
