Crindars: Scarran
currency. Sikozu used it to try to buy her way off Elack from the
Grudeks. When dealing with the traders who sold them maps of
Tormented Space, Rygel altered the crindars to make them worth 12
times their original value. Crichton Kicks;

Hetch: Measurement of speed. When D'Argo yanked the
control collar wires, Moya hemorrhaged most of her iriscentent fluid
and could only travel at hetch two. Later she managed hetch nine
when she was attempting a slingshot maneuver. Peacekeeper Marauders
have a maximum speed of hetch seven. Staanz’s pathetic little ship
could get up to hetch four if it was moving at top speed. When
Moya’s towing Talyn, she’s “crawling along at hetch three”.

Kalvo: The Scarran’s measurement unit for the level
of stimulus he was using to break Crichton in order to learn why
Scorpius wanted him. At level ten Scorpius (in John’s head via the

Scarran into thinking John was dead. Won’t Get Fooled Again |

Kelvoy
levels: Possibly a
measurement of energy. Talyn was given chromextin, a stimulant, in

Kretmas: Currency. After the crew fumigated Moya with
flames to get rid of the Karack metallite infestation they contacted
Diagnosan Tocot and his assistant, Grunchlk. Grunchlk, who was
negotiating the price for the doctor’s services, first asked
12,000 kretmas to treat Moya, then kept upping it until he got to
the final price of 20,000. Die Me Dichotomy |

Metra: Unit of distance approximately equal to a

metras when she was looking for the trapped children, I think he was
probably mixed up from being in so much pain.) |

|
Microt: Unit of time slightly longer than a second.
Since D'Argo doesn’t have a watch John told him to count-down 300
microts using the old standby one Mississippi, two Mississippi, etc.

Mippippippis instead. Through the Looking Glass |

Sakmar: A weight measurement, originally from the Premiere

told her that it wouldn’t hurt Moya’s baby because it was well
