The Regina Tattler is one of the primary sources of news on Regina Up. Generally dismissed as nothing more than a lurid tabloid, it has had some rather interesting contributors through the years, and some people swear that it is the only source for the real truth. The Tattler is known for it's stories on such news worthy topics as "Radioactive mutant zombie vampires living below level 10", "Ancient space aliens secretly advise Duke Aledon", and the recent "Duke Maceniel came back from beyond to father my unborn child".

Teleshot
Almost completely silent shotgun ammunition. It is a "low signature" munition that not only has a low sound, it also eliminates all smoke and flash which could give away the position of the shooter. It fires sub-sonic, No.4 sized buckshot (12 pellets). It has a high lethality at close and short range, but not very good accuracy at long range. The noise when it is fired is less than the noise of the mechanical action of the shotgun functioning.

Tramline
A remnant of Therian technology, the tramline is a network of wormhole like paths connecting various parts of known space via 'gates'.
