HORSES, SANDEMAN: One of the two types of livestock modified by the
Shapers, of the wide variety they took with them. Records lost during
the Overthrow may have given their reasons for modifying the horses as
they did; with those not available, the simplest explanation is that
one or more were fascinated with unicorns. Although Sandeman horses
retain the full tails and all the coloration of their forbears, they
have beards and, from approximately three months old, a spiral bone
"horn" roughly half a meter long growing from the center of their
foreheads. Most clans raise them, and they are a specialty of Clan
Neill.

HYPERDRIVE: The faster-than-light drive invented by Reinhard
Nannstein, allowing a speed of slightly over three light-years per hour.

HYPERFIELD: The field generated by hyperdrive engines. To conserve
energy it is normally kept close to the ship's skin, but can be
expanded if necessary to take a ship or other object under tow.
Holding a hyperfield at towing extension for more than fifty hours,
however, is dangerous and is prohibited except under war emergency
conditions.

HYPERSPACE: The spatial condition discovered by Reinhard Nannstein
which allows faster-than-light travel, at a speed of slightly over
three light-years per hour.

ICE-BERRIES: Gourmet product of Sandeman, they grow in the Cold Peak
Range and are harvested by Clan Torrance Others. It is important to
keep them below the freezing point of water; they begin losing their
delicate flavor at half a degree above zero, and melt at about ten
degrees over that point.
