There are three I'd like to submit, as they instantly came to mind when I saw this, and I didn’t see them in the previous glossary submissions/posts. As someone mentioned in the last round of these, I'll "save some for the rest." ;)

Onionhead / Onion Head (noun): A fruit-bearing plant with a flower and seed head, first discovered in the HIP 55118 system, it has since been cultivated into various strains. The fruit has medicinal and hallucinogenic properties, making it both addictive and euphoric. It has since become a widely used and traded drug across the established systems. The narcotic is legal in Empire-controlled systems but illegal in Federation territory. Grown on Panem in the Kappa Fornacis system, it is embraced as a staple crop and rare trade commodity. The word is also colloquially used as a derogatory term to call someone "stupid".

• He dropped some Onionhead and took spacewalk without a suit.

• Those gankers in Minerva are such onionheads.

HAZ RES / HazRES (noun): The hazardous variant of a Resource Extraction Site (RES). These locations are generally found within asteroid belts and planetary rings. Pirates in these areas are often more skilled and have higher combat ranks. System Authorities may not be present at a Hazardous Resource Extraction Site, depending on the system's overall status. Skilled Commanders brave HazRES zones due to the higher frequency of wanted ships, which offer greater bounties.

• Brave and skilled Commanders love to hunt bounties in HazRES sites.

• I just spent an hour in a HazRES and made out like a bandit.

Witchspace / Witch Space (noun): A slang term for the mysterious dimension that ships travel through when making a hyperspace (faster than light) jump between star systems. Often associated with strange phenomena and anomalies, Witchspace is both awe-inspiring and unsettling to many pilots. Thargoids have been known to hyperdict Commanders mid-jump, adding to the eerie and dangerous nature of this space.

• My ship barely made it out of Witchspace before the Thargoids could finish their hyperdiction.

• There's something unsettling about Witchspace... Every jump feels like something is watching from the void.
